Falcons Safety Thomas DeCoud Played The Meow Game During An Interview On <em>SportsCenter</em>
Super Troopers has long been a cultural touchstone for shaggy-haired college dudes who like to watch movies when they're stoned.

Americans' Favorite Soccer Clubs, As Determined By <i>FIFA 12</i> Plays
ESPN FC had a neat piece this week on the ties between soccer video games and soccer fandom, and the idea that even in the days of satellite television, nothing's done more to grow the sport in the United States than gaming. Here's the money quote, from social scientist Rich Luker:...

An FSU Fan Spells "Traitor" Like "Trader": Your Roundup Of The Best Signs Behind The College Gameday Crew
It's possible there's just something about that sign up there we don't understand (well, there definitely is—what's an "unc goat"?) but it seems pretty likely they meant "traitor" there instead of "trader." Or maybe it's a Florida fan making fun of Florida State fans? Nah. Let's just go with dumb Fl...
The Anti-KStew: In Praise Of Jennifer Lawrence

Here's A South Carolina Trainer Eyefucking Bruce Ellington
Ooh, 20 yards per catch? You know what that does to me, even if it is against a Conference USA team. God, that crop top/shoulder wrap combo should be illegal. What's that? The quarterback broke his arm? Tell him to take an Aleve, I'm busy here. Mmm, so busy. You must be tired, Bruce. You've been r...
"Will Muschamp Listens To Nickelback": Your Roundup Of The Best Signs Behind The College Gameday Crew
Kenny Chesney is making picks and Lee Corso is wearing a cowboy hat (again) so let's do some signage. Above: Will Muschamp gets clowned yet again, when the Tennessee crowd suggests that, like all assholes, Will Muschamp listens to Nickelback....
Jeff Kent Took His <i>Survivor</i> Cues From "The Fat, Naked, Gay Guy"
You can thank CBS for bringing together two things you probably haven't thought about in nearly a decade: Survivor and Surly Former Second Baseman Jeff Kent™.

NBC Has Only Shown Four Total Hours Of The Paralympics, And The IPC Would Like To Know Why

And now the IPC president is openly won...
Florida State Didn't Cover Against Savannah State Because They Played With A Running Clock And Ended The Game Halfway Through
Yesterday, we talked about Savannah State football throwing itself on the altar of an increased budget for the school's athletic department; today, we see the absurd fallout that can result from a cupcake game no one is particularly invested in. The Tigers had been slaughtered 84-0 by Oklahoma State...
<i>Game Of Thrones</i> House Sigils, As Re-Imagined By A Nike Designer
Darrin Crescenzi is a Portland-based graphic designer, and something of a go-to guy for Nike. He's responsible for, among other things, the Team USA Olympic jerseys, Nike's Livestrong campaign, and various logos and brandmarks going back half a decade. These are all corporate things that are hard fo...
Beer And Game Pairing: Hell Or High Watermelon With Bowling Green At Florida
Fruit and beer have an uneasy relationship, much like Gators fans and Florida sucking. Yet here we are, in 2012, and just as I'm watching this unsteady SEC power flail against some team called Bowling Green, I'm also enjoying the seasonal release Hell or High Watermelon by the San Francisco brewery ...
The Philadelphia Eagles-Branded Version Of Angry Birds Looks Terrible
A few months ago we noted this weird video featuring a cartoon Andy Reid introducing Angry Birds characters as new members of the Philadelphia Eagles. Yesterday, we learned what product that video was promoting, and unsurprisingly it's this Eagles-themed version of the popular casual game....
Little League Kids Score 10 Runs In Bottom Of Sixth To Tie Championship Game, ABC Local Affiliates Switch To Preseason Football
The little tykes from California playing in the Little League World Series (U.S. Championship final) scored 10 runs in their last licks to tie the game. This is the home run that sealed the comeback.
