Riley Cooper Hasn't "Been Through" Anything
Nick Foles, a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, gave an interesting quote to Peter King after a seven-touchdown performance today.

Rob Ryan Loves New Orleans, And New Orleans Loves Rob Ryan
After being fired and blamed for the Cowboys' failure last season, defensive coordinator Rob Ryan went to the Saints. With his scheme, the Saints' defense has substantially improved, allowing Drew Brees to create a lead and keep it. It's worked so far, as the Saints are 6-1, but fans in New Orleans...
Don't Pay For NBA League Pass Broadband! It's Straight Up Garbage.
We're starting to get complaints from people who paid their hard earned money for NBA's League Pass Broadband, presumably because they were unaware that it is just about the worst thing in the world, and are now angry because they're stuck with a non-functional service and horrifyingly non-responsiv...

David Ortiz Rocks WWE Belt During Championship Parade

GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period. The highlight was Ray Emery skating the length of the ice to fight Braden Holtby, who wanted none o...
NFL Statheads Are Losing Their War With The Spread. Here's Why.
In last week’s post, we showed that several of the larger statistically-inclined websites which offer NFL picks have had a rough go of it to start the season, at least as far as their picks against the spread. This was a surprise, because these results come on top of a string of several successful s...
On A Miserable Shooting Night, Derrick Rose Hits The One That Counts
Other than the fact that he can't shoot, Derrick Rose looks great. He's running around the court like he didn't take an entire season off. His footwork and athleticism are impeccable. Yes, the 18 months of rust is obvious—Rose is shooting 29 percent over his first two games, and has turned the ball ...

How The Chiefs Stopped Sucking In One Offseason
Before Week 1, if you'd said that the Kansas City Chiefs would be undefeated halfway through the season, you'd have been chased up and down Blue Parkway by men with butterfly nets. Yet here we are, on the cusp of November, and the last undefeated team in the NFL plays at Arrowhead Stadium. How'd th...
Eddie Gaven, The Oddest Goalkeeper In MLS History, Retires
Eddie Gaven retired today, and the math doesn't seem right. He's only 27 years old, but already an 11-year veteran of MLS. That's what happens when you get drafted at age 16, as Gaven was by the MetroStars in 2003. The wunderkind never quite lived up to the hype, but he proved to be a versatile, wor...
A Red Sox Fan Called Sports Radio To Complain About John Farrell Today

Chris Bosh Really Wants You To Learn To Code
Chris Bosh has written a thoughtful, (more or less) self-aware article about the importance of learning to code for Wired. His gist is that even though "Learn to code!" is the asinine mantra Silicon Valley dudebros, there's still value to it. Also, it contains this sentence:...

Update, 4:15 p.m.: FAU head coach Carl Pelini's resignation after one-and-a-half seasons was due to his use of "illegal drugs," confirmed AD Patrick Chun....
It's Funny Because She'll Die Unmarried
Don't look now, but the Leafs are leading the Atlantic after last night's 4-0 win in Edmonton. But as last year showed, the heartbreak of dangled hope is more acute than plain old futility. Enjoy spinsterhood, lady....
How Good Was The Lakers Bench Last Night?
Last night's Lakers win was unusual for any number of reasons, but the biggest story is the unlikely performance by LA's bench. How well did they play last night? Here's a very quick—and slightly unique—look at the numbers of the five players on the court for the fourth quarter. ...
The Unlikeliest Lakers Win The Battle Of Los Angeles
Human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together, and the Lakers bench dominating the Clippers starters in the season opener. The NBA is back, and it is weird....
