Check Out Some Candid 2010 Pre-Draft Assessments By Oakland Raiders Scouts
Solid evidence has surfaced online that the Oakland Raiders have staffers who evaluate talent, and moreover, that they sometimes know what they’re talking about. A post up on Imgur this weekend purports (credibly, it seems) to have the Raiders’ pre-draft evaluations from 2010. It’s not a huge galler...
The Woodford Reserve Turf Classic Was Cursed
Kasaqui and Triple Threat got tangled up on the final turn of today’s Kentucky Derby national broadcast undercard race, with the former taking an ugly spill and both horses losing their jockeys. The horses and jockeys were all fine, somehow, NBC reported. But one horse, Grand Tito, was scratched bef...
Where Does Sam Bradford Go From Here?
Trade demands are all about leverage. Does the threat of a holdout or a season-long sulk session carry enough weight to force the Eagles to move Sam Bradford, even after they’ve paid him a significant signing bonus? Does it justify Philly perhaps accepting a smaller return, now that Bradford’s gone ...
The Eagles Might've Really Bungled This Sam Bradford Thing

Soccer Club's Interim Social Media Coordinator Abandons Twitter Duties To Play In Game
Deep in the lowest levels of the English soccer pyramid, the modern club needs its players to fill multiple roles in order to survive.

How To React To A Bad Person's Death
People die every day; famous people die over the course of many days. Those left behind watch as the internet floods with earnest RIPs and dewy-eyed takes and angry ripostes toward anyone with the gall to joke or critique At a Time Like This.

Heurelho Gomes Pours A Big Ol' Bucket Of Burnsauce On Arsenal
Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has plenty of reasons to feel proud of his team’s 2-1 underdog victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup this weekend.

The Maddening Futility Of Arsenal, In One Play
Arsenal crashed out of their specialty competition (the FA Cup) this morning after a 2-1 loss to Watford.

The NBA Referee’s Association dropped a pretty good video this morning, featuring a bunch of refs reading mean tweets about them sent to the @OfficialNBARefs account.
