The U.S. Just Won Another Gold Medal At The 2004 Olympics
This is maybe not news: Four Eastern European field athletes at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens have been stripped of their medals after testing positive for PEDs.

Deron Williams Has His Own Personal Beat Writer [UPDATE]
Here's an odd story from today's Wall Street Journal, about a new member of the Brooklyn Nets corps of beat writers. Devon Jeffreys is a credentialed reporter like all of the rest, but he's really only at Nets games to cover one player: Deron Williams. And he's there to cover Deron Williams for a w...
Robin Yount Shot Dale Sveum In The Ear While Quail Hunting
Baseball's winter meetings haven't been a huge source of excitement so far this year. The Nationals made a splash by signing Dan Haren, but the big names like Josh Hamilton and Zack Greinke are still waiting to be snapped up, and no blockbuster trades have happened....
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Yesterday's Dinamo Zagreb-Dynamo Kyiv Champions League match in Croatia found itself being played under those most beautiful of conditions: a massive snowfall that blanketed the pitch. (It led to one of the prettiest delayed games you'll see in awhile.) In the end, a stoppage-time penalty allowed Z...
By The End Of Last Night's Loss To Washington, Eli Manning Was A Spaced-Out Zombie

Philadelphia Eagles' Line Coaches Jim Washburn And Howard Mudd Were Apparently Dicks To Everyone
After suffering their eighth straight loss last night, the Philadelphia Eagles tossed defensive line coach Jim Washburn. Washburn was brought in only for his "Wide 9" scheme—hell, they signed the now-crazypants Jason Babin just to help the formation succeed—but since Babin's gone and Andy Reid need...
One Of The Mets' New Minority Owners Has Been Accused Of Consumer Fraud. He'll Fit Right In.
Will the Mets ever be anything but an incorporated facepalm of a team? The latest addition to the team's ever-growing portfolio of pathetic missteps comes courtesy of The New York Times, which points out today that one of the team's new minority owners is allegedly little more than a flowery scam a...
Jim Schwartz Ain't Even Mad
The Colts topped Detroit yesterday thanks to some last-second Andrew Luck magic, and it's the sort of ending one might expect could launch notoriously-volatile Lions coach Jim Schwartz into orbit. Not so, it seems, as Schwartz simply brushed it off with a "haters gonna hate" and marched back into t...
Jerry Jones Scratching His Nuts: Eagles-Cowboys, And Much Of Modern Culture, In One GIF
Dallas 38, Philadelphia 33: Peering down from the suite at the top of his shiny monument to excess, billionaire oil plutocrat Jerry Jones, insensitive to the fact that he might be on national television at that very moment, scratched his nuts, probably, or adjusted himself in some way. Awesome. Imp...

The Plot Thickens: Whoever Owns Nets.com Has Found A New Way To Mess With Mikhail Prokhorov
Someone out there—a company named Cyber Mesa, we think—is under the impression that touting Jay-Z will get on Mikhail Prokhorov's nerves enough to make him a buy a (presumably very expensive) domain name....
Rick Reilly Deserves A Pass On The Chiefs "Suicide Prevention" Tweet
Almost immediately after Javon Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend and later himself Saturday morning, we've been aware of a Rick Reilly tweet that has offended some people. It's awkward, unfunny and derivative. That is to say, it is a Rick Reilly Original®. It's also from September....
The Big Ten's T-Shirt Cannon Is The Most Pathetic Thing Ever
Reader "Norman Dale" is at tonight's embarrassment of a Big Ten championship game (70-24 Wisconsin last we looked) and if there's any metaphor for a B1G season sapped of the ineligible Ohio State and Penn State, it's this weak T-shirt cannon. Seriously, what is this? Manufacturing used to be a poi...

First, this, from Loyola University of Chicago's head basketball coach and onetime Rick Majerus assistant Porter Moser:...
Alabama Barely Beats Georgia For SEC Title, Right To Demolish Irish In National Title Game
Your national title game will be SEC semifinal champion Alabama against Notre Dame, which in a just alternate universe just got piss-pounded by Ohio State in the Big Ten title game and ceded its title game slot to Florida. In this universe, though, Notre Dame spent the afternoon licking its chops as...
