Did John Elway's Son Get Special Treatment In His Assault Case?
Back in May, John Elway III was charged with assault and disturbing the peace after his girlfriend told police that he'd dragged her out of his car by her hair and pushed her to the ground when she tried to get back into the vehicle.

Orioles Win Game 2 By Thiiiiis Much
This here is Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy eluding Tigers catcher Alex Avila—by, hell, an inch?—to give the Orioles a 7-6 lead in the bottom of the eighth. Hardy was the third run to score on Delmon Young's pinch-hit, bases-clearing double. ...

Goodell: Look At All The Talking I'm Doing About Domestic Violence
After the Ray Rice debacle, Roger Goodell talked a lot about making the NFL a leader on the issue of domestic violence.

Bill Simmons Is Just Maxin' And Relaxin' On His Instagram Account
It's been nine days since ESPN suspended Bill Simmons for going on a mildly profane and not-at-all edgy rant about NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. So what's Simmons been up to since then?

Chart: Which NCAA Football Teams Outplay Their Recruit Rankings?
When college football teams fail to meet expectations, fans tend to turn to an old stand-by: Our coach is an all right recruiter, but he just can't coach. This is the narrative behind, for example, Will Muschamp's downturn at Florida. On the other hand, coaches who significantly exceed expectati...
Whoa, Man, This Pork Tenderloin <em>Really</em> Looks Like A Dong

Prince Songs To Fuck To, Ranked
Prince released two new records this week. And since Art Official Age and PlectrumElectrum (as with all releases from the world's most seductive singer) are loaded with sexiness, it's an appropriate time to attempt to quantify his past sexiness. Let's do this....
The Mayor Of St. Louis Is A Complete Dipshit

Houston Lost To UCF On A Heartbreaking Play At The Goal Line
There was a crazy amount of sports on TV last night, so nobody should be blamed for missing a college football game between two unranked teams from the American Athletic Conference. But UCF's 17-12 victory over Houston featured one of the more dramatic endings you'll see all year....
