Louisiana Hates Snow, Is A Buzzkill
Remember Patriots-Raiders in 2001? The Snowplow Game? Dolphins-Cowboys on Thanksgiving 1993? A bunch of games from the 1940s and 50s that most of us weren't alive for? Snow games might be low scoring, but they are awesome, and people want more of them....
Donut Flavors, Ranked
I don't think I'm alone in having a love-hate relationship with donuts. In a perfect world, I would be able to eat all the donuts I like. In this one, I have to wrestle with the fact that donuts are among the worst things I could ever ingest, somewhere between baby back ribs and C-4. A box of donuts...
Tim Lincecum Cut Off All His Hair
Well look who got a haircut right before spring training! Tim Lincecum has dropped his signature Dazed and Confused look for something more Joseph Gordon-Levitt-y. It's grown-up and adorable and it'll be even more surprising when such a clean-cut guy says "now I know what chicks feel like" the next ...
Kobe Bryant Hisses Like A Snake On The Court, According To Jordan Crawford
Yesterday's installment of Dan Le Batard's ESPN podcast featured a segment in which Le Batard is joined by Wizards guard Jordan Crawford. The ensuing conversation isn't anything special, save for this anecdote about Crawford's experience matching up against Kobe Bryant (transcription courtesy of DC...
The College Football Video Game Supposedly Backed By Jamal Anderson Is The World's Saddest Scam
Four days ago, this Kickstarter campaign from "Dirty Bird Sports" popped up on the project-funding platform. The name is a reference to former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson, the project's apparent patron, whose "Dirty Bird" touchdown dance was a fixture of the Falcons' 1998-99 Super B...
The Associated Press Has Finally Gone About Correcting Its Lennay Kekua Reporting

The Paterno Family's Counteroffensive Has Begun
As we mentioned the other day, the widow of Joe Paterno's big interview with Katie Couric is all set to go down on Monday afternoon. But the timing of that interview now makes much more sense: The Centre Daily Times of State College, Pa., is reporting that the Paterno family's long-awaited rebuttal ...
As Rugby Players Turn Boxers, Both Sports Lose
It's been a disappointing week in rugby fights. I mean, this Georgia vs. Belgium dustup is OK. But when I hear "Big Rugby Brawl" I expect a something a little more brutal and/or eye gougey. Maybe this weekend's Vegas Sevens will deliver some handbags. But no rugby fight could match today's Aussie ac...
What One Writer Learned At Bleacher Report University
Nick Bond, writing for our friends at The Classical, recently went through the training program at Bleacher Report, a sort of orc pit out of which all B/R writers must climb before they write for the site. Bond's entire piece is well worth your time, but the best artifact is this horrifying paragra...

This Photo Of The Georgetown And Butler Bulldogs Is Just The Cutest Goddamn Thing
The Georgetown Hoyas and Butler Bulldogs each have a pair of adorable bulldog mascots. Today, Georgetown Jack and Georgetown Jack Jr. welcomed Butler Blue 2 and Bulter Blue 3 (Butler Blue 1 is apparently dead retired. Sad face.) to their campus for a summit of adorability. That's how we got the pic...

Ravens Parade Enjoyed By All, Minus The Stabbing And Trampling
The rest of the country was taken aback by the spirit shown by Baltimore, as an estimated 200,000 people thronged downtown for the Ravens championship parade on Tuesday. Also taken by surprise: city and team officials, who were woefully unprepared for the sheer number of people who showed up—especia...
Some Duke Fans Chanted "How's Your Grandma?" At A Player Whose Grandma Just Died
There was some world-class jagoffery going on in the Duke student section during last night's N.C. State-Duke game. In the second half, N.C. State guard Tyler Lewis stepped to the free-throw line and was reportedly greeted by a chant of, "How's your grandma?" from the Cameron Crazies. Lewis's gran...
Bizarro World Laker Bros Have The Sadface
The Celtics flew past the Lakers in last night's early national broadcast to the tune of a 116-95 score. It was an offensive explosion unseen from Boston until now, and it left some New England Lakers fans grasping for hope (or perhaps their sunglasses)....
Illinois Shocks No. 1 Indiana On A Last-Second Layup
This is how you gain and then lose a No. 1 ranking in a span of five days. Illinois's Tyler Griffey's uncontested lay-up at the buzzer sealed a huge win over top-ranked Indiana, a game in which the Hoosiers were up 11 with 6:30 remaining. ...
Rangers Rinkside Reporter Takes A Puck To The Face
John Giannone is the man between the benches on MSG, and with time winding down in the second period, the puck found him. He cut open the bridge of his nose, which led to what I believe is a first: a reporter doing a live shot as his own blood pours down his face and into his mouth. He's a hockey ...
