And he loves picking on angry, frothing Jets fans for their loud coach and on-field antics, despite the...

Michael Beasley's Lockout Image Rehab Includes Ballet Lessons
Michael Beasley is one of the few NBA players who might actually manage to be more interesting when he's not playing professional basketball. Since the NBA lockout began, he's been cited for speeding and for marijuana possession, and he "mushed" a heckler during a game at Dyckman Park in August. Thi...

If You're A Student-Athlete, Fake Marijuana Is The Way To Go
Here is where I recognize that I'm horribly out of touch with the youth of America, because I had no idea that synthetic marijuana was an actual thing that kids used to get high. I dismissed it as a bogeyman like bath salts or meow meow or cheesing, but science has apparently come up with a non-mari...

People Are Getting Dumber By The Day About The Harbaugh-Schwartz Fight
It must be a slowass week in the NFL, because people are still being idiots about the dustup between Jim Schwartz and Jim Harbaugh. Hey Mark Schlereth, can I count on you for saying something delightfully cliched and stupid?...
Neftali Feliz's Ninth Inning Last Night Was Freaky And Amazing
The top of the ninth in last night's "World" Series game, which the Rangers won (2-1, evening the series at 1-1), reminded us how easily 67-year-old .199 career hitter Tony La Russa kneecaps his raw talent. In this particular case, La Russa pulled overpowering strikeout-happy closer Jason Motte (8.3...
There Were Two Buzzer-Beaters In The NHL Last Night
Ryan McDonagh's putback after a Dan Girardi prayer caromed behind the net gave the Rangers a 3-2 win in overtime. Dany Heatley's bad-angle flick off of Nikolai Khabibulin's chest at the end of regulation salvaged a point for Minnesota, and eventually a second one with a shootout win. Both goals we...
Dan Snyder Does An Interview! (For His Own TV Show. With A Fifth Grader.)
The last time Dan Snyder subjected himself to the terrifying bright lights of a studio interview, it was June, and it was bullshit. Back then, he went on the D.C. affiliates of FOX and NBC and agreed to pretend that his flack, Tony Wyllie, hadn't planted every single question. It was so scripted t...

Signs You're Old: <i>Pardon The Interruption</i> Has Been On The Air For 10 Years
It was 10 years ago tomorrow that PTI premiered, and ESPN has made available some clips from that inaugural show, including Brent Musberger on the BCS and time capsule headlines like "Are the Islanders for real?" That it's still going strong is a testament to the fact that ESPN can often get thing...
The NBA Keeps Lying About Competitive Balance
If there's one thing to know about management's position in the lockout, it's this: The competitive balance issue isn't about competitive balance. It's about extracting money from the players' pockets and giving it to the owners. Remember that. Cross-stich it onto a decorative throw pillow. Print it...

Here's Video Of A "Streaker" Leading To A Bench-Clearing Brawl In Tonight's UCLA/Arizona Game
"The horrid football displayed by UCLA was only topped by a bizarre end to the second quarter that featured a streaking fan (sort of) and a bench-clearing brawl. Details of the streaker - really for a lack of a better word - are fuzzy, but it appears a fan ran on to the field dressed as a referee,...
