Mike Trout Is A World-Class Home Run Thief
The Angels are in a scrap to make the playoffs this season, and losing closer Huston Street hurts, but they still have the American League MVP favorite in Mike Trout. Trout has hit a career-high 40 dingers this season and has also, according to MLB’s Statcast, robbed the most as well. The best of th...
Rams Game Delayed After Pyrotechnics Set Field On Fire
The Rams-Steelers game today in St. Louis was delayed today after pregame pyrotechnics set the artificial turf on fire. The fire extinguisher left skin irritants all over the field and the start was pushed back to vaccuum it all up. Good way to slow down Le’Veon Bell!...
The Browns Are Such A Godforsaken Mess
Dwayne Bowe is a “healthy inactive” for Raiders-Browns this afternoon, meaning there isn’t really anything wrong with Bowe, beyond his fundamental inability to play football well, but the Browns are sitting him anyway. This is only one of several stupid moving parts in the stupid fakakta machine tha...
Referee Ejected From Game For Allegedly Trying To Punch Head Coach

A "Lifelong" Commitment, If Only Technically: A Guide To Ignoring The NFL Today
So, the 2015 NFL Health and Safety Report opens with a message from Roger Goodell, in which the thumb-puppet-looking doofus proudly mentions the lifelong commitment the NFL makes to its players, specifically free comprehensive health and wellness screening made available to former players....
Cal Has Always Been Fun, But Now They're Good
As has been custom this season, the California Golden Bears gave up an easy touchdown to their opponents in the first quarter yesterday.

Uriah Hall Nails Spinning Back Kick In Outstanding Display Of Violence
Someday, when he’s an old man, Uriah Hall is going to remember the time he hit a spinning back kick-to-flying knee combination on Gegard Mousasi at the Saitama Super Arena and feel all warm inside. (Mousasi will also remember this when he is an old man, though he will presumably feel somewhat differ...
Fresno State Scores Touchdown On Play We Don't Entirely Understand
What you see here is Fresno State’s Jamire Jordan scoring a touchdown to narrow San Jose State’s lead over the Bulldogs. But exactly what play this is, or what it is supposed to look like, we’re completely lost. Is it supposed to be a pass play? Did guys forget to block? Is it a completely broken an...
Utah Tires Of Pummeling Oregon, Starts Beating Up Fox Camera Operators Too
Utah extended its shocking blowout lead over Oregon 55-13 tonight with a 69-yard punt return that confused fans, Ducks punt coverage team members, and Fox camera operators.

TCU Avoids Embarrassing Texas Tech Loss With Miracle TD Catch
Trevone Boykin found Aaron Green off a ricochet to help the third-ranked TCU Horned Frogs beat Texas Tech 55-52 in the sort of manic game Red Raiders fans have seen in Lubbock for about a decade now.

Virginia Tech Punter Makes Save Of The Year
This is an astounding play. Virginia Tech punter A.J. Hughes watches the snap fly far over his head into the end zone, and he manages to not only recover the ball but get a clean punt off that traveled 60 yards on the fly. It kept the Hokies within a touchdown of ECU, and left ESPN’s Mark Neely gras...
Leonard Fournette Is An Unstoppable Force Of Nature
LSU is always supposed to roll Syracuse. They’re an SEC school, ranked in the top 10, with linemen on both sides of the ball that are notably heavier than Syracuse’s. But they barely handed the Orange their first loss today. The Tigers committed 14 penalties for 120 yards and let first-time starter ...
Maryland Cheerleader, Like The Terrapins, Is Getting Crushed
West Virginia is obliterating the Terrapins today, as the Mountaineers are already up 38-0 at the half. Taking things especially hard was this Maryland cheerleader who bore the brunt of Shelton Gibson’s 41-yard touchdown catch:...
The NFL Wants Players To Help Pay For New Los Angeles Stadium
The NFL is coming to Los Angeles soon, no matter what Oaklanders, St. Louisans, San Diegans, or local labor groups have to say about it.
