Behold, A Life-Sized Jell-O Mold Of Nick Saban's Face
Spilly, SBNations's food humorist—and a Pitt fan, of all things—unveiled his latest creation today, along with a breakdown of how it was done.

Nick Saban Walks Out Of Press Conference Over D.J. Fluker Questions
This Saban presser, on the heels of the Yahoo report that former offensive standout D.J. Fluker was funneling cash into the Alabama program, is a thing of beauty. It's very Belichickian in it's format: boring we-had-a-good-week-of-practice-blah-blah beginning followed by a preemptive statement of no...

Chris Smith Got His Brother J.R.'s Face Tattooed On His Back
Monday was J.R. Smith's birthday and to celebrate, Chris Smith apparently got a tattoo of his brother's face on his back. It also say "Always got my back" beneath the portrait. Kind of inspirational, when you think about it. Kind of really weird when you think about it some more. ...

Jim Mora Jr. Flips Out On Reporter Who Interrupts Him
Yesterday, UCLA Bruins player Nick Pasquale was killed in a car accident. Head coach Jim Mora Jr. spent some time eulogizing Pasquale during today's press conference, but was interrupted by a reporter in the room who was apparently talking loudly on his phone. Pro tip for that reporter: don't do th...

<em>Sports Illustrated</em> Falls For Satire About Nick Saban Visiting Texas
What you see above is the story that went screaming out on the SI Wire at SI.com earlier today. Technically, it's true: Nick Saban is indeed visiting Texas this weekend—but only because Alabama's showdown with Texas A&M is still scheduled for Saturday in College Station. But that's not all SI.com is...

Down, Set...Hike
Looking through some old papers this weekend I found these two drawings I did when I was a teenager. Copied from Sports Illustrated. Not sure the year but must have been 1984-85. ...

Shane Victorino's Nifty Catch Gives Way To Slapstick Routine In Stands
Here we have a happy-go-lucky Red Sox fan, his mood perhaps buoyed by the effects of a few alcoholic beverages, becoming a whirlwind of destruction following a brief encounter with Shane Victorino....

Columnist Amazed College Football Players Aren't Scumbags
That is the major takeaway from this overcooked word-soup from Rick Reilly. Sure, he bizarrely shoehorns George Zimmerman into an article about "young, urban athletes" who were neither murdered nor murderous, but the real gist of this column is that Rick Reilly is fucking shocked that those four kid...

Where Have You Gone, Mickey Mantle?
I'm in a taxi, trying to get to Yankee Stadium. I'm late and I've got my uniform on. But when I get there the guard won't let me in. He doesn't recognize me. So I find this hole in the fence and I'm trying to crawl through it, you know? But I can only get my head in. I can see Billy and White and Yo...
