USC's Marqise Lee Has Shattered The PAC-12 Single-Game Receiving Record [UPDATE]
There have been some great quarterbacks, great receivers and great passing offenses in the history of the Pac-12. Until today, no one had racked up more single-game receiving yards than Oregon State's Mike Hass, who careened for 293 on 12 catches against Boise State in 2004....

"Suck My Fuckin' Dick, You Piece Of Shit": Golfer Mark Wiebe's On-Air Meltdown Would Fit In Well On Your Local Muni
PGA Champions tour golfer Mark Wiebe is in the top ten of the AT&T Championship leaderboard at the moment, but a missed putt during yesterday's second round sent the 55-year-old on a humorously foul tirade—though, as always, we find the apology afterward far more amusing. You know, because viewers...
Stuffed Goat Mascot Stolen From Navy Tailgate

The Late-October Best Picture Oscars Predictions You've Been Waiting For
Coverage of the Oscars has reached tail-wagging-dog proportions in recent years: Rather than an awards show looking back at a year of films and choosing the best of them, the Academy Awards have become the journey and the destination.

Report: Carlton Fisk Was Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI In The Middle Of A Corn Field
Every October baseball marvels at itself and its history.

That happened 37 years ago Sunday. This, from Monday, report...
Barcelona Scores With 45 Seconds Left In Stoppage Time To Seize Victory Over Celtic

Here's An Awkward Tiger Woods Interview On CNBC
Tiger Woods is only on CNBC for this interview with Maria Bartiromo to plug Fuse Science, his new sponsorship.

Patrick Kane's New Swiss Hockey Team Has Heard Some Things About How He Acts Off The Ice

Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (ESPN): The Bears are coming off an inconveniently scheduled bye week this year.

Aural History: How An Old Lady In Brooklyn Ensured That The "Shot Heard 'Round The World" Call Was Heard 'Round The World
It was Oct. 3, 1951, and the New York Giants were about to lose the pennant to the Brooklyn Dodgers two games to one in a best-of-three series.
