How The NFL Exploited A Child Abuser To Restore Its Brand
1.

Foster's: Australian For Fraud
My 11th-grade history teacher opened the first day of class by asking us to write down everything we knew about Christopher Columbus.

Phil Martelli's Grandson Is Still An Adorable Mini-Basketball Coach

Josh Gordon
Josh Gordon's back! Will he immediately pick up where he left off? That'd be nice. He doesn't use an extensive route tree, but he doesn't really need to with his speed. This assumes he's stayed conditioned throughout his suspension. Anyway, it's good to have him back....
This Family Is The Worst Thing On Facebook
Perhaps you have had occasion to view a YouTube song video created by a group of healthy-looking white people named "The Holderness Family." Perhaps it was the one in which they perform a version of Snoop Dogg's classic "Gin and Juice" song, fitted to Halloween, titled "Kin and Moose."...

The A's Just Claimed Subject 6 From The Duke Fuck List
The Oakland A's just claimed outfielder and first baseman Alex Hassan, plucking him from the Boston Red Sox farm system.

The Funniest Thing In Sports: Kobe Bryant Chucking At Historic Levels
Kobe Bryant shot a combined 16-for-48 in the two ass-kickings the Lakers absorbed over the weekend. Even the bad guys from Rambo III are all, "Jesus, man, that's a lotta terrible shooting." The friggin' Ethyl Higby Charm School doesn't have that many misses....
