Serie A Keeper Scores Ridiculous Stoppage Time Goal On Flying Header
AC Milan had a 2-1 lead on last place Benevento in the 95th minute today, with Benevento setting up for a free kick deep in Milan territory. You know what that means: the underdogs pulled keeper Alberto Brignoli forward to load up the box. And is there any way I would be showing you this video if Br...
Tarik Cohen Runs Like 90 Yards For 61-Yard Punt Return TD
Nothing gets a fan screaming in fear and disgust like a punt returner running the wrong way, but when the 49ers kicked to the Bears’ Tarik Cohen, the Chicago returner made the worst possible decision seem like a perfect one. Cohen received the punt at his own 40 yard-line and ran back to his 25 whi...
The Hashmarks For Vikings-Falcons Are In The Wrong Spot
The Atlanta Falcons’ stadium hosted the SEC championship game Saturday night. A crew spent all night repainting the field in order to have it ready for today’s Vikings-Falcons game. They did a nice job, with one exception: The hashmarks were in the wrong spot....
Alabama Beats Out Ohio State For Final College Football Playoff Slot
The first three teams announced for the college football playoff were no surprise. Clemson was number one, after their savage beatdown of Miami last night, and they were followed by Big 12 champion Oklahoma and SEC champs Georgia, who will play each other in the Rose Bowl....

TCU's John Diarse Lays Out For Spectacular One-Handed Touchdown Grab
Third-ranked Oklahoma jumped out to a 17-0 lead over TCU after just four total possessions this afternoon, and very much looked poised to run away from the Horned Frogs. A nine-play TCU touchdown drive made it 17-7, and, after a missed Oklahoma field goal, the Horned Frogs got right back to work, us...
LeBron James Is Just A Normal 33-Year-Old Guy
Just in his 15th year on the job, doing regular stuff....
Tennessee's Week-Long Faceplant Continues
Friday morning, after returning from yet another meeting with another prospective head coach, Tennessee athletic director John Currie was canned. It was quick, kind of expected, and, really, just another blip in what’s been a teeth-grinding shitshow for the folks in Knoxville and a comical treasure ...
Giannis Bullied The Blazers
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is Shaq now, did not have his greatest game against the Blazers last night, scoring 20 points on 7-of-20 shooting in the Bucks’ 103-91 win. He also did some very rude things to some people. ...
What The Hell Is The Hopewell Fund?
The NFL PR playbook is so obvious at this point that it’s shocking the league’s executives are still impressed by the idea: When people get upset, throw money at the problem. ...
Miles Bridges Dunks Over His Own Poor Teammate
Being dunked on, in any capacity, is humiliating; being posterized so fiercely that you fall on your ass is even more so. And being posterized that fiercely by your own teammate? Nick Ward suffered quite the ego bruising tonight at the hands of Michigan State teammate Miles Bridges during tonight’s ...
Wayne Rooney Scored From Half Field And Maybe Saved Everton
Everton came into today’s game in 17th place in the league and only two points ahead of their opponents, West Ham. A loss would have sunk them into the relegation zone and extended their run of trash performances. They won 4-0, thanks to a goal from Ashley Williams (who is still butt) and a hat tric...
John Fox On Bears: “We Don’t Know Exactly What We’re Doing”
Yesterday the Bears released Tre McBride, a wide receiver whose 92-yard performance in Week 8 against New Orleans is the best single-game receiving performance for any player on the team this year. McBride also played on 78 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles....
The Chicago Bulls Play "The Beautiful Game"
Casual basketball fans tend to wax rhapsodic about the fluid ball movement and deep unselfishness of San Antonio or Golden State. But true lovers of the sport look only to Chicago. Study every detail of this possession from last night’s Suns-Bulls game; this is what peak performance looks like....
Larry Nassar Pleads Guilty To More Sexual Abuse Charges
For the second time this month, former Michigan State and USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar has pleaded guilty to criminal sexual conduct charges. Nassar pleaded guilty today to three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct charges in Eaton County, admitting that he sexually abused young ...
David Fizdale Probably Shouldn't Have Benched Marc Gasol
The Memphis Grizzlies made the genuinely surprising decision to fire head coach David Fizdale on Monday, just a day after Fizdale sat star center Marc Gasol for the entire fourth quarter against the Nets. Given that Fizdale led the team to 43 wins last season, and given that this year’s team, while ...
Bill Walton Would Fuck You Up
Care to face off against the weather-beaten tree that is Bill Walton in a fight? As evidenced by this training footage, courtesy of Walton’s broadcast partner Dave Pasch, absolutely not. Bill’s a goddamn force. He can take on two opponents at once:...
Tennessee AD John Currie Is Now Under Fire For Bungling The Greg Schiano Hire
The University of Tennessee athletic department is currently in full-on crisis mode thanks to the bungled hiring of Greg Schiano, and the apparent and baffling lack of vetting behind the decision-making process that led to that hiring. Not only is Schiano not going to be the next Volunteers coach, b...
Jahlil Okafor Has Gone On The Offensive
Jahlil Okafor, the former third overall pick in the 2015 draft, is still stuck in basketball purgatory. He’s appeared in just two games and played 25 total minutes, and the Sixers seem to be insistent on keeping him in storage until a suitable trade partner can be found....
