Atlanta Beat The Pants Off San Diego, In Just One GIF
Atlanta 27, San Diego 3: Matt Ryan threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns and the Falcons destroyed Philip Rivers and the Chargers.

"I Would Like To Extend You A Counter-Offer To Suck My Dick": A Rejected Jobseeker Sends The Padres The Best Letter Ever
Taylor Grey Meyer estimates that she applied for a job with the San Diego Padres at least 30 times since moving to Coronado, Calif.

Lisa The Ball Girl Reduced The Padres' Announcers To Puddles Of Goo
Dick Enberg is no rookie. He's one of the most experienced (and generally respected) sportscasters we have, but when Lisa the Padres Ball Girl impressively gloved a streaking line drive last night, it sent him and broadcast partner Mark Grant into high school hysterics. Suddenly, Enberg can't form m...
The Struggling Padres' Turnaround Plan? Reunite The 2006 Cardinals Rotation
The 2006 St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series despite bad starting pitching. They had Chris Carpenter and a brigade of abysmal complements: Jeff Weaver, Anthony Reyes, and Jeff Suppan. During the regular season, washed-up Mark Mulder, Sidney Ponson, and Jason Marquis also started. Yeah. It was g...

The Padres And Nationals Were Ready To Resume Play, But Three Of The Umpires Were Nowhere To Be Found

Padres Fan Catches Foul Ball In Beer Cup, Chugs
OK, OK. As you can see in the video below, it wasn't a clean grab, since it's obvious the ball ricocheted into dude's cup. But so what? Both Padres play-by-play man Dick Enberg and his broadcast partner, Mark Grant, knew what had to be done. And, just like that, dude obliged....

Sorry, Padres Fans: Your Cable Company Just Screwed You
Heading into this season, one bright spot for San Diego Padres fans—and this is really a stretch—is the arrival of a spanking new regional cable network from Fox Sports. And a new network means a new round of exciting negotiations with each cable TV and satellite provider. Good news is, if you're a ...
A Man Is Suing To Assert His Legal Right To Scream "Fuck You" At Chargers Games

Ben Blood Upholds The Time-Honored Hockey Tradition Of Sucker Punching A Guy In The Handshake Line
His name is Ben Blood, for god's sake.

Regardless, Blood at least kept his integrity. Unlike Di...
Goldy Gopher Dancing To A Forgettable 80s Song Just Might Save Minnesota Football
Tipster Ryan sent us the above video, to which he added: "80's music and dancing gopher mascots. Embarrassing for Minnesota athletics." I'm not so sure. The University of Minnesota's football team has had little to savor for some time. Last week, head coach Jerry Kill suffered a seizure on the sidel...
The 2011 MLB Rookie Hazing Costume Collection
Forcing rookies to dress in costume is an MLB tradition that's as childish as it is time-honored. A gloriously dumb reminder that most baseball players are manchildren, forever stuck in high school. We are too; it's a major reason baseball players are perhaps easier to connect with than athletes in ...
