Harvard Touchdown Called Back After Running Back Flipped Yale's Defense The Bird

Sophomore running back Devin Darrington got a little too into the Harvard-Yale rivalry today.

Rutgers Disrespects Philadelphia With Failed Rendition Of Famous Trick Play

Down 13 points more than halfway through the third quarter, Rutgers decided to be bold against the visiting Penn State Nittany Lions and go for it on fourth-and-goal, just two yards shy from the end zone. Taking some advice from the professional team just south of Jersey, the Scarlet Knights decided...

Alabama Gives Up First November Touchdown To The Citadel

Alabama’s defense has been quite good this month. Both Mississippi State and LSU laid up big fat goose eggs against the Crimson Tide, despite both teams being worthy of top-25 rankings.

How Much Longer Does Mike McCarthy Have Left?

On its face, losing by three points on a Thursday at one of the most notoriously difficult stadiums to play in as a visiting team isn’t cause to sound the alarm.

The Ravens Might Actually Have To Start Robert Griffin III On Sunday

Hidden behind the cloud of an injured starting quarterback was a brief glimmer of hope for the Ravens on Wednesday.

You Wouldn't Want To Work With Draymond Green, Either

They have been historically great for years and are, when at their unholy apex, probably the most beautiful and terrifying basketball machine ever constructed, but the Golden State Warriors are kind of a corny bunch of dudes. This is nothing on them, really: it’s not their job to be interesting, or ...

The Steelers Have Ransacked Le'Veon Bell's Locker

Le’Veon Bell officially ended his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers when he didn’t report to the team by yesterday’s 4:00 p.m. deadline.

Marco Rubio: The Recount Is Like Booting The Helmet Sport Ball Through The Yellow Poles

I’m not going to subject you to this entire embarrassing conspiracy theory-pushing thread posted tonight by bloodless dipshit Marco Rubio—a man who would finish off the podium in a Marco Rubio lookalike contest—but I would like to draw as much attention as possible to the fact that Rubio tried to pa...

Ass Team Of The Week: The Buccaneers Were Killed By Their Own Hot, Compressed Farts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 16-3 to Washington on Sunday, but just about every number save for the final score says the Bucs were the better team. They out-gained Washington in yards nearly two-to-one—it was 501 to 286 when the final whistle blew—and yards per play (7.5 to 5.2), and had nearly dou...

The 49ers And Giants Are Playing Monday Night Football In Some Very Nasty Air

The Camp Fire started in Butte County last Thursday, and it’s already become both the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history.

Cal's Defensive Turnaround Is A Marvel<em></em>

Two seasons ago, the California Golden Bears had one of the most abominable defenses in the country. Cal allowed opponents to score an astonishing 42.6 points per game (the second-worst in the nation among FBS schools), rack up 518.3 yards per game (fourth-worst), and rush for 272.9 yards per game (...
