They Do Spin-O-Ramas In College Hockey, Too
We showed you Patrick Kane's nifty spin-o-rama earlier this week, but here's one from the land of college hockey, where it's almost more impressive. The Wisconsin Badgers' Mark Zengerle puts the spin on a Nebraska-Omaha defender and finds teammate Tyler Barnes for an easy goal. (The Badgers droppe...
Arizona Is Once Again Responsible For A Batshit Crazy Late-Night Play
Pac-12 football has long been the viewing domain of East Coast drunks and insomniacs, Midwestern degenerate gamblers looking to recover the day's losses, and Pacific coast... football fans. And it's often the home to the weird, the wild, and the stupid, which is exactly what happens here as Arizon...
For The Second Week In A Row, Wisconsin Lost On A Ridiculous Last-Second Pass
People across the country might be celebrating Halloween tonight, but for the Wisconsin Badgers it feels more like Groundhog Day. While it wasn't technically a Hail Mary (it was first down and there were 30 seconds left) the details don't much matter as Ohio State—after giving up the lead late the...
Apparently Georgia Tech Has A Passing Game. Who Knew?
Georgia Tech is leading unbeaten and fifth-ranked Clemson 24-3 at the half, in part due to this Megatronic 44-yard catch by Stephen Hill off a Tevin Washington pass. Washington's been worse than trash most of the season as a passer & Clemson can't possibly play as inept an offensive game in the se...

Did Robin Van Persie Just Salute The Nazis?
So this is weird. I'm not saying Robin Van Persie is a bad guy, but it certainly looks like he agrees with the ravings of a certain Austrian sociopath. At least Ian Darke was there to class up the joint....
The Rangers Should Probably Stop Intentionally Walking Albert Pujols
The Texas Rangers have walked Albert Pujols five times in the first six games of this World Series—all intentionally. Many of these walks are bad ideas! (And not just for the spiritual reasons elucidated of late by Josh Levin and Rob Neyer, among others.)...

23-Year-Old NBA Player With One Losing Season Under His Belt Says He "Can Be Better Than Michael Jordan"
Jordan Crawford, the 23-year-old guard who has played in a single, 23-59 NBA season: "'I don't tell nobody, but I feel like I can be better than Michael Jordan,' Crawford said, without the slightest hint of sarcasm. 'When I'm done playing, I don't want people to say, Michael Jordan is the best playe...
In Division II Football, They Play With The Difficulty Level Set To "Freshman"
Here's Minnesota State WR Dennis Carter scoring on a reverse during which he nearly goes out of bounds on both sidelines. Clearly he's been messing with the gameplay sliders, that cheater. This play would never work in real life. [CBSSN]...

Some Jackass Scammed At Least 25 Schools Out Of Thousands Of Dollars With The Promise Of NFL Players
If there's one thing kids are into these days, it's bullying each other. It would be nice if they would stop, but they won't listen to parents or teachers. It's scientifically proven that the only people kids will listen to are NFL players, preferably at a special schoolwide assembly. So when public...
Visanthe Shiancoe Had His Own Bombs Bursting In Air Before Sunday's Packers-Vikings Game
Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe let his patriotism, and breakfast, shine Sunday before Minnesota's matchup with Green Bay. He even had the courtesy to warn bystanders—something about which he's been especially concerned in the past. [NFL]...
Tony Sparano Is Selling His House
What could prompt Miami coach Tony Sparano to put his 5-bed 5-bath Mediterranean style home on the market? Could it be the Dolphins' 0-6 record? Their total lack of effort and execution? The whispers that Bill Cowher's finally ready to get back in the game? It's more prosaic: Tony gets lonely in tha...
