Daniel Snyder Hires The One Man In Washington Worse Than Daniel Snyder
A man so badly fucked that he'll hire Lanny Davis is a man who's finished, and so everyone who detests Daniel Snyder, the imperious prick who owns the Washington Redskins and claims he'll never change their name, can rejoice. When the client who can't be defended brings on the fixer who will defend ...

New Mexico Fans Have Raised The $2,000 A Rival Fan Should've Won
Last week we brought you the smh-worthy tale of the cosmic nut-punt that went down at a New Mexico State football game. Tired of empty stands, university honchos had whipped up some cash awards to entice students to witness the (winless) Aggies, with a $2,000 prize reserved for a randomly selected s...

Which One Of These NFL-Themed Vanity Plates Sucks More?
Welcome to the first edition of NFL Vanity Plate Suck Off, which is a thing that I just made up and will probably never happen again. Anyway, both of the vanity plates pictured above were recently shown to us by readers, and I can't decide which one sucks the most. So I'm asking for your help. Pleas...
Perfectly Timed Sports TV Graphics Are A Gift From God
We spend so much time here making fun of chyron mistakes that we sometimes forget to give thanks for the serendipitous moments where on-screen graphics and live action work in hilarious concert. ...
Dan Snyder's Open Letter Is As Gross As You'd Think It Would Be
Dan Snyder is that rare person who comes off as even more despicable when he's trying to be thoughtful than when he's just openly being a prick. Case in point: this hilariously tone deaf open letter to "Everyone in our Redskins Nation" (kind of like a reservation!) in defense of the team's nickname,...
Derrick Rose Dressed Up As The <em>Duck Dynasty</em> Guy For His Son's Birthday
Derrick Rose recently threw a costume party for his son PJ's birthday, and it looks like everyone was really into the theme. PJ appears to be in a much better mood than the last time we saw him around these parts, and Rose is rocking a pretty great Willie Robertson costume. I would not have guessed ...
The Year In Hawk Harrelson Being Awful
First, start playing this video put together by Awful Announcing, containing nearly 10 minutes of baseball's biggest homer being audibly sad and frustrated when things don't go the White Sox's way. Then leave it on in the background and go read the best thing you'll see all day....
Photoshop Contest: Let's Rebrand The Washington Redskins

Son Surprises His Dad With Bengals Tickets; Dad Gets All Weepy
Until today, I never thought that the Cincinnati Bengals were capable of bringing their fans to tears of joy instead of sorrow. But that's exactly what happened when one Giants fan surprised his father, a lifelong Bengals fan, with airfare and tickets to an upcoming Jets-Bengals game at Paul Brown ...
NBA Cameraman Tries To Be Cool About His Foot Falling Asleep
Dude was working Saturday's Bulls-Pacers preseason game. He had to spring into action during a timeout, but his right foot needed a few more seconds to wake up. He tried to act all nonchalant by sticking his hand in his pocket, but it was already too late. Most of us aren't carrying a television cam...
Contained Space: <em>Captain Phillips,</em> Reviewed.
1. There's a moment in Paul Greengrass' United 93, one of the best films of the last decade, in which we are invited not to sympathize with the hijackers of Flight 93, exactly, but at least take a look at them as humans, if just for a moment. They're monsters, but they're people, on that plane, too,...
