Tennessee police have charged three high school basketball players with aggravated rape and assault after they hazed a 15-year-old freshman teammate while the team was at a tournament in Gatlinburg. The three unnamed boys, from Ooltewah High School, are currently at a juvenile facility, according to...
Legendary Fighter Kazushi Sakuraba Brutalized In Depressing Spectacle
Fighting is too young a sport for a descriptor like “legend” to mean all that much, but so far as it does, Kazushi Sakuraba is one of the few people who deserve it. His incredible career has been too strange and interesting to easily summarize, but, briefly, after starting out as a pro wrestler, he ...
Omri Casspi And Steph Curry Traded Threes In A Wildly Entertaining Shootout
The Warriors were probably always going to beat the Sacramento Kings at home, and their 122-103 victory Monday night became a foregone conclusion after DeMarcus Cousins was ejected early in the third quarter. But before then, when the Kings were still hanging tough and even leading, there was an ama...
Phrasing, Steve Young
There had to be a better way to express this point. ...
The Chiefs Should Terrify The AFC
The AFC’s elite teams are all limping toward the finish line. The Bengals are relying on a backup quarterback who’s most famous for having a girlfriend who aroused Brent Musberger, and you couldn’t describe the Broncos’ new starter as much else besides ‘Tall’ (and, I suppose, ‘Injured’ and maybe ‘Va...
What Horrible Things Did We Do To Our Penises Last Year?
Ah, the penis. That most comical and vulnerable of body parts. It was a bad year for all of us, but for the approximately 1.2 billionth year in a row since the emergence of sexual differentiation, it was a particularly rough year for groins. This selection of real, horrible injuries proves that Murp...
Quadree Henderson Returns Military Bowl Opening Kickoff 100 Yards For Touchdown
Pitt got started early in today’s Military Bowl in Annapolis—as early as possible, in fact, as freshman Quadree Henderson ran the opening kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown in Navy’s own stadium....
Mesut Özil Caps Genius Arsenal Team Move With A Goal
Every season, Arsenal are good for two or three of these kind of flowing, intricate, one-touch passing moves that end with the ball in the back of the net and a huge grin on your face. This time, it was Olivier Giroud providing the sick flick-on and Mesut Özil, who is absolutely unstoppable right no...
Brilliant Shithead Gerard Deulofeu Yellow Carded For Obvious Dive [Update]
Yellows for diving are generally reserved for players with reputations. A flop from your typical brave Brit is a lot less likely to receive a booking than the same one from a player refs know as a consistent victim of sniper fire....
Latest Miko Grimes Twitter Rant Torches Ryan Tannehill
Miko Grimes, the wife of Miami CB Brent Grimes, has never been shy about sharing her feelings on the Dolphins, more specifically that everyone who’s not her husband is trash. But after the Dolphins sputtered to a 18-12 loss to Indianapolis, Miko sprayed some exceptionally caustic vitriol toward QB R...
Bill Belichick Had A Plan, It Just Backfired Completely
By now we know that the Patriots’ decision to kick off to start overtime wasn’t a mistake—or at least, not the one it appeared to be at the time. New England never touched the ball in their 26-20 OT loss to the Jets, and while the outcome wasn’t by design, the strategy was. Whether or not it was a w...
John Wall Is Pretty Grumpy About Kyrie Irving Leading Him In All-Star Votes
All-star fan voting almost never results in an accurate representation of the most worthy players. Kobe Bryant is leading all NBA players in voting this season despite shooting 34% and NHLer John Scott had the most votes of all hockey players before he was released by the Coyotes. Kyrie Irving is sl...
Jarvis Landry Submits Entry For Catch Of The Year
Pretty much nobody is watching this Colts-Dolphins game, which is a shame because Jarvis Landry just injected it with pure, uncut awesomeness. Here’s one of the best plays of this NFL season, as it happened in the fourth quarter today....

Jason Peters Pulled Himself Out Of Eagles Loss To Avoid Risk Of Injury
The Philadelphia Eagles needed to beat Washington at home last night to stay in playoff contention. They did not, despite Kirk Cousins briefly forgetting how to play football, and they’re now certain to finish the season below .500 for the first time in Chip Kelly’s tenure. Obviously, the Eagles wer...
Kirk Cousins's Enormous Boner Wastes Scoring Opportunity
Kirk Cousins responded to a week of positive coverage, for once, by committing a huge blunder. His boner cost Washington a chance to get points; by inexplicably taking a knee with six seconds remaining, time ran out on the half—denying the Skins a shot at a quick touchdown and even the subsequent fi...
Tom Cleverley's Long Header Beats Newcastle On Final Touch Of The Match
Everton downed Newcastle today 1-0 thanks to a 93rd-minute long-range header by Tom Cleverley that proved to be the final touch of the match....
Will Jared Leto's Joker Be Too Raw And Subversive For Modern Society To Handle?
Wow, we knew from previous reports (“Leto ... sent Margot Robbie [Harley Quinn] a dead rat”) that Jared Leto’s portrayal of the Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie would be unbelievably edgy and raw, but Twitter users @boring_as_heck and @swarthyvillain got ahead of the film’s promotional cycl...
