Angelo Badalamenti Seems Like A Nice Guy
I guess I had always assumed Angelo Badalamenti was some awfully hip, overeducated Italian in an expensive turtleneck, some godson of Antonioni, who applied a sort of smug, cynical viewing of American soap operas when composing the theme music for "Twin Peaks." But nah! He's a cool old dude from B...

Bernard Hopkins Reaches The Limits Of Science
"Bernard Hopkins stood right here the other day and told me: black, he's too predictable," said one of the trainers at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn, where Hopkins had held his media workout last week. "He's too, too predictable."...

Drew Brees's Fumble Was The Most Disastrous Play Of Week 10
Drew Brees made several big plays to will the Saints into overtime and give his team a chance at beating the 49ers. But in overtime Brees was sacked and fumbled, which led to San Francisco's game-winning field goal. The fumble was the detrimental play of the week according to data from Brian Burke...

German Player's Perfect Strike From Center Circle Makes Great Own Goal
It takes a special kind of calmness to lob a ball from the edge of the center circle with enough accuracy to find the back of the net. Unfortunately, Christoph Kramer so calmly played this pass because he expected it to find his own keeper, not sail over his teammate's head and into the goal....

Mike McCarthy Trips Over A Cord, Loses It
This is just proof that tripping over a cord really is one of the most aggravating things in the world. Even when you're watching your team sail to a 55-14 victory, a poorly placed cord can turn you into Bobby Knight....

UConn Suspends Player For Flipping Off ESPN Camera
Earlier today, we brought you the image above, of UConn freshman Noriana Radwan flipping off an ESPN camera after the Huskies won their conference championship game yesterday. Forty-five minutes later, we got the following sternly worded release from UConn, along with a request to add it to our cove...

Carson Palmer Has A Torn ACL
It was pretty clear to anyone who saw it that Carson Palmer's knee injury was a serious one. Guys don't usually crumple to the ground without getting touched and grab their knee unless something very bad has happened. There's no official diagnosis yet, but the word from sources within the organizati...

Guinness Blonde American Lager Is Pandering To You, Badly
Guinness occupies its own weird niche in the beer world. It's owned by a gigantic international corporation (London-based Diageo) and is contract brewed in dozens of factories around the world, making it only nominally Irish, and not at all crafty or artisanal. Yet the brand's flagship stout is stil...

Man Utd Legend Asks City Fan Noel Gallagher To Sign Guitar, Gets Trolled
C'mon, Gary Neville, did you really think asking Noel Gallagher—who at this point is practically as famous for being a Manchester City superfan as he is for being a member of Oasis—to autograph your guitar would end in any other way than this troll job?...

Michelle Beadle Takes A Salmon To The Face
Thanks to John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment on the salmon cannon, a device designed to help stupid fish get around dams so they can migrate and spawn, we have this wonderful GIF of Michelle Beadle getting a salmon to the head. Should've been you, Cowherd....

The Internet Has A “Problem” Problem
Hey, you saw "Too Many Cooks," right? That batshit-insane, 11-minute Adult Swim video that lampoons the opening credits of old network sitcoms (or current Disney Channel sitcoms, if you've ever been forced to watch one)? It was funny, right? LOL THE '80S WERE SO DUMB. I know I enjoyed it. ...

Man's Workout Routine Is Inexplicable And Batshit Insane
We can't figure out which specific muscles are used in this exercise, but that's because this man's on a higher level than us. Look at that! He did about six reps of ...whatever this is. It probably helps his core....

Let The Burning Of The Jay Cutler Jerseys Begin
Coming off their bye week, Jay Cutler and the 3-5 Bears had plenty of time to prepare for the Green Bay Packers last night, plenty of time to patch up whatever problems gave way to a 51-23 loss to New England in Week 7. Last night's game presented a rested Bears team with some hope at getting a big ...

Holy Shit, The Lakers Actually Won A Game
Here you see ecstatic weirdos clad in sleeveless shirts with names like "Abdul-Jabbar," "Johnson," and "S. Parker" on the back applauding their team for truly achieving the unthinkable: yes, the Lakers won a basketball game. For those disbelieving, here is the proof....

The Bears Can't Even Punt Properly
Punting is when YOU kick the ball to the OPPONENT. Not "let the opponent kick the ball."...

Ridiculously-Dressed Drake Pleased By Monster James Johnson Dunk
The Raptors are blowing out the 76ers tonight, mostly because they are playing the NBA franchise from Philadelphia. James Johnson is getting in some garbage minutes, and his monster jam brought a certain Canadian dad to his feet. Wait—that's no dad!—that's rapper Drake. ...

Stay There, Brock Osweiler; Peyton's Got This
