The Official Boise State Twitter Feed Was Honest For About 30 Seconds After The Broncos Lost Their Season Opener
Here's the official account for Boise State Athletics (Go Broncs!) reacting to Friday night's loss to the Michigan State Spartans. They're right, of course—Boise State didn't score after halftime, and ended the game with only 206 yards of total offense—but for some reason they still felt compelled t...
Alfredo Aceves Had A Weird Day
Not really sure what was going on with Alfredo Aceves yesterday, but he was acting like a bigger basket case than usual. He and Dustin Pedroia got into an argument in the dugout—probably because Aceves threw over to second, like, 17 times and Pedroia seemed ill-prepared for each successive toss—an...

How Tall Are Nick Saban's Shoe Inserts?
It's pretty easy to find Nick Saban's height: Saban was a defensive back for the Kent State Golden Flashes for the 1970, 1971, and 1972 seasons and also played for the baseball team in 1972. Every year and for both teams, his height and weight were listed at 5-foot-6, 185 lbs. So he's about three a...
Ken Rosenthal And The Dugout Of Mysteries
What in Dumbledore's name is Ken Rosenthal talking about? I follow Ken on Twitter. He's useful when news is happening and seems like a nice guy (when he's not threatening interns).

We're not sure exactly what Brent Musburger is saying here, because we're officially out of the business of reading lips.

Beer And Game Pairing: Hell Or High Watermelon With Bowling Green At Florida
Fruit and beer have an uneasy relationship, much like Gators fans and Florida sucking.

Poor Jack Sock. The tennis gladiator named after the bravest piece of laundry in the mid-hamper has succumbed to Nicolás Almagro in the third round of the US Open. Sock's sacking was hardly surprising. After all, Almagro was the tournament's 11-seed. Sock, meanwhile, was unseeded. No shame there....
