Out-On-His-Feet Chargers Player Swears He Wasn't Concussed
Sometimes a concussion doesn't knock a player out, or even down. In the video above, keep an eye on Charges safety Jahleel Addae, No. 37, coming in from the left side of the screen. And keep in mind that he says it wasn't a concussion....
Branden Oliver Is San Diego's New, Improved Darren Sproles
The Chargers looked stacked at running back before the season started. Ryan Mathews would lead, Danny Woodhead would find some carries and work as a frequent pass-catcher, and Donald Brown would do... something—So nice to have you, Donald! By Week 5, Mathews, Woodhead, and Brown were sidelined by in...
This Ridiculous Érik Lamela Goal Will Make You Feel Things
OK. Forget the stakes for a second. Forget that these are two bored teams playing in a second-tier tournament. Forget that Érik Lamela has gone his whole career without developing anything resembling a right foot, and still probably makes more money in a week than you do in a year. Is this the sexie...
Jeanie Buss Goes In On "Losers" Who Don't Want To Play With Kobe
Things aren't going so great for the Los Angeles Lakers right now. Their head coach is dead set on implementing a caveman brand of basketball that may very well turn the Lakers into the worst team in the NBA, and a recent story by ESPN's Henry Abbott painted Kobe Bryant as a self-sabotaging sociopat...
Marco Reus Reminds The World That He's The Truth
You might've been excused for losing track of Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus, what with his pre-World Cup injury and the subsequent setback that held him out for much of this season. But today, in just his second game back from injury, he's been so kind as to remind us all what he can do....
Romell Quioto Golazo Puts Olimpia Up On Timbers Two Minutes Into Match
CONCACAF Champions League action resumed tonight, and MLS's Portland Timbers traveled to Honduras to take on Olimpia—where they were greeted just moments into the match by this over-the-head flip goal by Romell Quioto....

Obedient Black Bear Doesn't Want Any Trouble, Man. OK? It's All Good.
Hey, hey, hey, take it easy, chief. Nobody here wants any kind of problem, all right? Everything's cool. Just be cool....
Derrick Rose Falls, Entire Bench Runs Over To Make Sure He's Not Broken
Derrick Rose played in a preseason game against the Cavaliers last night, and he looked decidedly not-dead, which is encouraging. What is not encouraging is how his teammates reacted when Rose hit the ground at the end of the first half and spent an extra beat or two on the floor....
Report: Brandon Marshall Called Out Jay Cutler In Bears' Locker Room
After a loss to an underwhelming Dolphins team, the 3-4 Bears had it out in a closed locker room—yelling, shoving, everyone right on down to the kicker getting blasted in turn. But as far as postgame meltdowns go, this has the potential to be one of the more constructive ones: behind Brandon Marshal...
Bears Lose At Home; Postgame Locker Room "Ugly Scene"
The Bears lost to the Dolphins today, and they're now 0-3 at home. Both sides of the Bears sucked: Miami had 393 yards to Chicago's 224. After the game, the Bears' locker room reportedly devolved into a lot of shouting. Here are the details so far:...
Gennady Golovkin's Crushing Overhand Knockout Punch, In Slow Motion
We gave you one shot of GGG's second-round knockout last night, but HBO threw up the realtime and reverse-angle slow motion shots. It's worth a re-watch, if only to gawk at how ordinary Golovkin can look throwing an overhand left that would drop an APC. ...
Gennady Golovkin Wins Again With A Devastating Knockout Punch
Marco Antonio Rubio only lasted to the second round before being eliminated by a brutal left from Gennady Golovkin. We're used to seeing this sort of waste being laid by GGG, but will anyone step up to present a real challenge to the Scariest Man Alive?...
Lionel Messi Almost Scoring Is More Impressive Than Most Actual Goals
A player broadly similar to Lionel Messi might've been what Johan Cruyff imagined Barcelona would produce after implementing his philosophy, but not even the Dutchman could've foreseen this Argentine's specific genius. I mean, try to prevent your jaw from dropping when he merely gets close to scor...
Report: Percy Harvin Fought Teammates, Checked Out Early Vs. Cowboys
As usual in the NFL, sources are pushing out Percy Harvin's past misdeeds to explain the Seahawks' unexpected decision to trade the receiver to the Jets. The Seattle Times picked up a few instances, including a couple of fights with teammates—like the time he reportedly gave Golden Tate a black ...
Chelsea's Brilliant Team Goal Is The Best Of The Season
We knew what we were seeing last year when Jack Wilshere finished off that intricate Arsenal move, and we know what we saw today: the best team goal we're going to see in England this season....
Sunderland Defender's Exquisite Volley Makes For Wonderful Own Goal
Above, Sunderland's Santiago Vergini shows off some impressive technical ability as he takes a bouncing ball and cracks it past the keeper. It would've been worthy of his personal highlight reel, if it hadn't been aimed at his own net. But for an own goal, this was a beaut....
How Eliud Kipchoge Made The Chicago Marathon Easy To Watch
We get caught up in records, but there's a lot to be said for style. This is especially true in the marathon, dominated by images of fatigue, frozen faces, bleeding nipples, crap-streaked legs, and claw-rigged arms—and those are just the spectators. The visible degradation over 26.2 miles from athle...
Royals Fans Celebrate Pennant With Long, Sloppy Victory Kiss
The YouTube description accompanying this video claims that these two lovebirds are total strangers, which seems a little hard to believe, but I guess anything is possible when two people are a few beers deep and the Royals make the World Series for the first time since 1985....
