The UFC Fucked Up Badly This Weekend, Says The UFC
On Saturday, the UFC held a fight card in Macau, which would in no way be notable if not for the fact that UFC figurehead Dana White, not liking the way judge Howard Hughes scored the first two bouts, actually made him stop judging during the event. Hughes didn't work any more fights for the rest of...
Washington Has A Fake Quarterback Controversy On Its Hands
I'm mindful of playing into the silly-season stupidity here and making a big deal of this, because it's surely empty bluster: Robert Griffin III is not about to lose his starting job to Kirk Cousins.

In the third inning, Nick Markakis and Steve Pearce hit back-to-back home runs. In the fifth inning, Delmon Young, J.J. Hardy, and Chris Davis went back-to-back-to-back.

The Bucknell Football Team Takes The Best Profile Pictures
The Bucknell Bison roster page is a treasure trove of goofy profile pictures. In what has to be a concerted effort to have the weirdest looking team, players posed with wacky faces, bizarre facial and top-of-the-head hair, and People's Eyebrows. It's great fun....
College Scores 109-Yard Punt Return TD In First Ever Football Game

<em>FIFA Weekly's</em> Sepp Blatter Profile Is A Marvel Of Propaganda

Adeiny Hechavarria Momentarily Saves Game With Great Diving Grab
The Rockies beat the Marlins 5-4 on a walk-off single in the 13th inning Saturday and the only reason it wasn't an inning earlier is because of this play. With two outs and men on the corners, Justin Morneau hit a flare out into no man's land between second base and left-center field. Adeiny Hecha...

High School Quarterback Goes Behind-The-Back On Fake Punt
This is a deceptively great move from Georgia high school football. Archer high school made like it was going to punt to Sandy Creek but then hit the backup quarterback, Will Bearden, with the direct snap. He took the ball and avoided pressure by going behind his back with the ball and dumping it of...
