Cam Newton Had To Assure A Teammate That His Audible Was Real

Cam Newton’s chatter at the line is demonstrative, and occasionally hypnotic (“RREADYYYYYY”).

Johnny Manziel Is About Done In Cleveland

Johnny Manziel, who appears to have spent Saturday evening in Las Vegas, had a Sunday morning appointment with the Browns. He didn’t show up, and when the team called him, he didn’t answer. It’s what feels like a fitting and ominous final act for Manziel’s Browns career....

The Suns Are A Wreck, And The Owner Is Blaming "Millennial Culture"

It wasn’t so long ago that the Phoenix Suns were one of the NBA’s feel-good stories. Jeff Hornacek took a weirdly constructed lineup, featuring a two- and then three-headed point guard monster, and turned the Suns into one of the more exciting young teams in the league.

Petros Papadakis Hams It Up

Thad Matta Does Best Stanford Shithead Impression

Somebody must have told Thad Matta about the Stanford shithead who won’t shut up, because the Ohio State head coach popped up behind forward Marc Loving during his Big Ten Network post-game interview tonight to shout out “HEISMAN!” a few times. It’s humorous, but you should really see the time he re...

Jaguars Beat Writer And Chris Clemons Finish The Season With An Argument

The Jacksonville Jaguars got walloped by the Houston Texans today to end their season at 5-11.

Jimmy Butler Loses His Mind, Scores 40 Points In One Half
