Leave Bob Costas Alone!
I have had my share of fun goofing on Bob Costas over the years. He is NBC's resident nostalgia elf, and every Sunday night during football season he climbs up on his big-boy chair and arranges himself in that self-satisfied, half-canted way of his and delivers unto you, the common folk, a halftime...
Russian Olympian Who Tweeted Racist Photo Of Obama Says She Was Hacked
Irina Rodnina, decorated figure skater and member of the Russia's State Duma (lower house), was one of two people chosen to light the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony.

Russian Skater Gets Away With False Start Thanks To Broken Starter Pistol
Ekaterina Lobysheva is a veteran Russian speed skater, but everything about her run during today's 500m prelims in Sochi today was amateur hour—from the broken starter pistol that let her get away with a second, disqualifying false start, to the broken ice that made her wipe out at the end....
Let's Watch Mary Carillo And Bob Costas Drink Vodka Together
We've been systematically ignoring NBC's "Olympic Late Night" coverage, mostly because by the time it airs the events it covers are a day old and, at the same time, there is actual live Olympics competition happening. Maybe we should be watching it more closely....

Grambling State Finally Won A Division I Game
Grambling State had finally broken its seasons-long losing streak in December, but it was against something called Central Baptist State of the NAIA, the same division the Mustangs and the rest of the SWAC moved up from in the late 70s. Tonight, Grambling beat Alcorn State 95-80 and finally broke th...
Kung Fu Fight Breaks Out In Iowa State-West Virginia Blowout
Eleventh-ranked Iowa State suffered its worst loss of the year tonight in Morgantown, as WVU trounced the Cyclones 102-77.

I Can't Stop Watching This Goal Celebration
This is the greatest celebration of a totally pedestrian goal you'll ever see. This guy, playing in an amateur game in Italy, is really fired up for his tap-in goal off a soft rebound. While it is a nothing goal, the celebration is so great that you will completely forget that he even scored by the...

Dude Purposely Ruins Mock Baseball Drafts For Our Delight
Last August, we had a laugh when a guy named Stefan picked NFL players like placekicker Aaron Pettrey first overall in mock football drafts, pissing off people who found it inconvenient to exit and join a new mock draft in five minutes. Stefan is back ruining mocks, but this time, he invaded fantasy...
