Taj Gibson Was Totally Chill About Blake Griffin Almost Taking His Head Off
In the third quarter of last night’s 83-80 loss to the Bulls, Blake Griffin completely misjudged Taj Gibson’s pump fake and inner arm-chopped him across the face. It’s the type of foul that oftentimes causes a fight, or maybe just a “hold me back bro!” confrontation, but not this time. Griffin was i...

I have terrible news for you, America. I know that you’ve already endured a harsh autumn of partisan politics and mass tragedies and inconsistent NFL officiating.

TV Reporter Gets Crushed, Saves Camera, Still Gets The Shot
Here’s some phenomenal work by reporter Kate Lee from WVEC (Hampton Roads, Va.) who proved the hero during this weekend’s Virginia state playoff game between Oscar Smith and Thomas Dale.

Even NFL Trash Talking Has Its Limits
Just before halftime of the Jets’ 23-20 OT win over the Giants, WR Brandon Marshall got into it with DT Cullen Jenkins.

Good Dunking, Darius Thompson
The #10 Virginia Cavaliers won their seventh straight game of the season against William & Mary today. That’s all good and fine and to be expected, but this here slam from Darius Thompson was one of the better ones I’ve seen this year....
Farewell, Elegant Bachelor: Scott Weiland, RIP
The thing about being a rock star in the ’90s is you had to act like you hated being a rock star, and this is where Scott Weiland made his first mistake.

Bougie Food Review: Organic Amaranth Flakes
The concepts of “organic,” “free range,” “shade grown,” “farm-to-table,” “locally grown,” and “GMO-free” food have widened the average grocery-shopper’s lexicon over the past decade.

Illinois AD On Coach He Just Rehired: "It's Not Ideal"
Illinois ended their football season with a 24-14 loss to in-state rival Northwestern yesterday.

Illinois’ interim athletic director Paul Kowalczyk was, uh, not enthu...
Eli Manning Throws A Pair Of Tip-Drill Interceptions In Rapid Succession
Man, this is some piss-poor luck from Eli Manning. Shane Vereen is one of the best pass-catching running backs in the NFL, so this first pick is pretty inexcusable. The second toss maybe should have been picked, but Will Blackmon redeemed himself and scooped it up anyhow....
Controversy Over Lumberjack Celebration Engulfs Grey Cup

The Grey Cup t...
