Brian Kelly Deserves This
Notre Dame football is 2-4 after losing Saturday to N.C. State, 10-3. Hurricane Matthew was responsible for extremely sloppy conditions for the two teams, but the game was played, and the Fighting Irish lost, so head coach Brian Kelly called out his center, Sam Mustipher....

Tennessee's Magic Only Goes So Far
Tennessee almost followed up last week’s Hail Mary-fueled victory by overcoming a three-touchdown second-half deficit in order to defeat Texas A&M in double overtime. “Almost” is the operative word there.

Tennessee Forces Overtime With Improbable Comeback
This season’s cardiac kids performed magic in College Station again today as Tennessee forced overtime against Texas A & M thanks to forcing a fumble on what could have been a game-sealing play, marching 80 yards for a touchdown in just over a minute, then—we’re guessing here—using mind control to f...

Johnny Cueto Was Brilliant, And It Didn't Matter
In a week that’s offered plenty in the way of high-quality postseason pitching—Corey Kluber’s virtuoso performance yesterday afternoon, Noah Syndergaard and Madison Bumgarner’s wild card duel—Johnny Cueto put up perhaps the best line of them all last night....
Nick Kyrgios Likes To Look Cool As He Makes His Opponents Look Silly<em></em>

Ireland Player Stretchered Off Pitch After Losing Consciousness In Clash Of Heads
Ireland’s Robbie Brady and Georgia’s Saba Kvirkvelia had a nasty head collision in a World Cup Qualifier today, with the game being delayed a solid five minutes while doctors treated the two players. Brady came out worse, as he lost consciousness for a few seconds and had to be taken off of the pitc...
I Still Can't Believe Madison Bumgarner Is Real
I’m largely fine with MLB’s play-in game, but there remains something almost cosmically unfair about having to win a one-game series when the opposing team can start Madison Bumgarner. ...
Madison Bumgarner Remains A Postseason Demigod
The San Francisco Giants are headed to the NLDS once again, after Madison Bumgarner shut down the Mets and the offense managed a lone moment of competence tonight to get the team a 3-0 win.

Even if you believe that Odell Beckham Jr.’s tendency toward emotional outbursts has rightfully earned him extra scrutiny from NFL referees, the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he was hit with last night was pretty confounding:...
Odell Beckham Lost His Cool Again
Odell Beckham Jr. was barely there last night. The excellent Vikings defense held him to a career-low three catches for 23 yards, all on a single second-quarter drive that didn’t cross midfield. Minnesota merely perfected what’s emerged as a solid strategy to keep Beckham in check—he hasn’t scored a...
That's Not Even Close To How You Pronounce Giannis Antetokounmpo's Name
Look, “Antetokounmpo” has a lot of letters in it. A-N-T-E-T-O-K-O-U-N-M-P-O. Not the easiest name to pronounce! That, however, is nowhere close to whatever Stacey King said here....
