Purdue Intramural Quarterback Throws 30-Yard Touchdown Pass ... Behind His Back
If you're going to attempt a pass like that, there's no better time to try than when you're quarterbacking a flag football game in college, when you can always count on the defense to just sort of stand around and watch. That said, I'll bet Curtis Painter couldn't make that throw....

Box-Office Grosses Aren't Sports Scores. Who Cares If <em>Looper</em> Flops This Weekend?
Last year, around this time, I started seeing a ton of ads on Fox NFL games for the movie Drive.

The Scab Who Blew The Seattle Touchdown Call Now Wants To Get Paid For Interviews
You remember Lance Easley, yes? Side judge who signaled "touchdown, Seattle," overruling his colleague and singlehandedly becoming the biggest reason the lockout ended when it did. It's not often someone gets famous for being bad at his job, but if Lance Easley is going to be bad at his job, he migh...
Learn About Grippers, The Affordable Way To Demonstrate Your Unnatural Forearm Strength
The man above is Manfred Hoeberl, a former fixture in the World's Strongest Man competitions they periodically rerun on ESPN2. He was—is?—very, very strong.

The Coach Of The Junior Pee Wee Red Cobras Has Been Suspended After Allegations Of A Pop Warner Football Bounty Program
Kids—10- and 11-year-old kids—allegedly getting paid for whatever the Pop Warner equivalent of knockouts and cart-offs are. Yeah. "Kill the head and the body will grow up feeble and addled." The going rate for successfully concussing a tween? Between $20 and $50. Christ, society....

Tsuyoshi Nishioka Gave Up $3 Million To Not Be On The Twins Anymore
