"You're The Kind Of People I Want Eradicated From The Human Race." Watch NBA Refs Read Mean Tweets About Themselves
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. Being an official certainly takes thick skin, so these guys took the burns in stride pretty well, including my favorite one, about To...

Iowa Senator Introduces Just The Whiniest Bill About The Stanford Band
The notoriously “edgy” Stanford marching band performed a skit full of dumb hick stereotypes during halftime of Stanford’s 45-16 thwacking of Iowa in the Rose Bowl. Despite the fact that the skit wasn’t particularly good, funny, or unexpected, everybody lost their goddamn minds. Iowa fans got mad, R...

Rose Bowl Officials Condemn Stanford Band For Mocking Iowa During Halftime Show
The Stanford Marching Band—a performatively quirky group of college musicians currently banned from road games for “sexual hazing”—is continuing its truly remarkable run of pissing everyone off. They got to go to the Rose Bowl because it was a neutral site game, and they commemorated their trip by t...

UCLA junior guard Bryce Alford hit a tough three-pointer with 1.8 seconds left to help UCLA beat #7 Arizona 87-84, pleasing a fan sitting courtside with ripped jeans....

Thad Matta Does Best Stanford Shithead Impression
Somebody must have told Thad Matta about the Stanford shithead who won’t shut up, because the Ohio State head coach popped up behind forward Marc Loving during his Big Ten Network post-game interview tonight to shout out “HEISMAN!” a few times. It’s humorous, but you should really see the time he re...

Ben Watson Gets Manchester City To Help Him With His Olímpico
Just a few days after Watford’s Ben Watson missed out on an Olímpico against Tottenham, he got his goal today (sort of) after bouncing it into Joe Hart’s goal off Aleksander Kolarov’s head. Watford lead 1-0 after an hour....

Troll King Joey Crawford Is Retiring
Nobody could make himself part of the game like Joey Crawford. Inevitably, he’ll ref a few games per year where tension builds between teams and rather than let it progress to a boiling point, Crawford will instead make himself the protagonist and overreact, usually with an extra technical or ejecti...

Shut Up, Shithead
Get a load of this Stanford shithead who won’t shut up while ESPN tries to interview Christian McCaffrey, who basically singlehandedly won the Rose Bowl. This clown is relentless. He’s also now become a meme:...

Christian McCaffrey Goes 75 Yards On Rose Bowl's First Play [UPDATE: And He's Added A Punt Return TD]
Christian McCaffrey proved himself to be college football’s most versatile player this season, and the Stanford star continued his reign by catching a Kevin Hogan pass and finding the end zone 75 yards away on the Rose Bowl’s first play. Here’s how it sounded on Russian television:...

Why The Clippers Give The Worst Postgame Interviews
We learned last night that the Clippers have a bit: the last player back to the locker room after the final buzzer has to dance for the rest of the team. How did we learn it? The game’s two heroes, forced to remain on the court for interviews, took off sprinting first chance they could....

Oklahoma State Basketball Coach Travis Ford Ejected From Son's High School Game
So, Oklahoma State University men’s basketball coach Travis Ford was kicked out of his son Brooks’s high school basketball game yesterday, and that’s pretty funny, if perhaps unremarkable. This sounds like any run-of-the-mill Too Raw Sports Dad story, where a probably bad parent got too fired up liv...

Christian McCaffrey Is College Football's Most Versatile Player, Even If He's Not Its Best
Christian McCaffrey, running back for playoff misser-outer Stanford, had himself one hell of a game last night. He ran for a touchdown, caught a touchdown, and even threw one to his quarterback Kevin Hogan. McCaffrey rushed for over 200 yards and accrued 461 total yards in the Cardinal’s 41-22 win o...

Who Will Free The Cursed Soul Trapped Inside This Matt Stafford Statue?
This custom-made, 62-inch wooden statue of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is currently on sale for $1,500. It is imperative that someone out there buy it and destroy it, so that the curse binding a tortured soul to it for all eternity can be broken....

Wha ... but how ... so the wind just ... huh?...

No One's Responsible For Chip Kelly's Offense But Chip Kelly
In addition to a concussion, Eagles QB Sam Bradford also suffered a separated shoulder in Sunday’s loss to Miami, according to ESPN. It looks like it’ll be Mark Sanchez under center for at least the next game, which, given Bradford’s play, may or may not be a good thing as Philadelphia desperately n...

Radford Upsets Georgetown In Double Overtime With Deep Three-Pointer
The Radford Highlanders shocked Georgetown in double OT this afternoon on their own court. The Big South school downed the Hoyas with this late, deep three from Rashun Davis. Davis led all scorers with 28. Not a great start for Georgetown!...

Will Manny Pacquiao's Final Opponent Be Revealed Tonight?
The week in boxing news was dominated by a fighter who isn’t even currently in training: Manny Pacquiao. Even after an uninspired and perhaps compromised performance against Floyd Mayweather, Pacquiao remains the biggest, most marketable name in the sport. And the race to be Pacquiao’s next foe—in w...
