Show Off Your Tailgate And You Could Win A Year’s Supply Of Meat And Bacon
Ah, tailgating: sunshine, assorted meats, and endless games of cornhole. My favorite tailgate memory is from my freshman year of college. Before the first football game I attended as a student, I randomly went up to some people who seemed to be my age. In my hand were some uneaten bacon-wrapped saus...
A Week Into The Month, Alexi Lalas Wins Movember
While literary types may know November as the month to write crappy novels, those of us of the hirsute persuasion know it simply as Movember. While many of us have significant others whose aversion to upper lip hair preclude participation, it seems ESPN soccer commentator Alexi Lalas is not one of ...

MLB Hot Stove Apathy: The Real Secret Variable That (Almost) Predicted The Presidential Election
The "Redskins Rule" failed to pick the winner for second time in three presidential races, so it looks like everyone will have to pick a new random sports thing as their favorite election-prediction oracle. Instead of just choosing some random team's game, we decided to go to the sports site that re...
Art Howe: I Should Manage The Blue Jays Because I Am Not As Fat As Philip Seymour Hoffman
Quick. Come up with reasons Art Howe should manage the Toronto Blue Jays. I have a few. The Blue Jays need a manager. Art Howe is a manager, maybe even a good one—he has a career 1129-1137 record, which isn't so bad given that he spent time running the Mets, A's, and Astros, three franchises with hi...

On The Cusp Of Elimination, Manchester City Supporters Had No Answers
Reigning English Premier League champions Manchester City have struggled representing their nation in Champions League play, and a loss to Dutch side Ajax yesterday would have eliminated them from the competition entirely. That loss looked increasingly likely after Siem de Jong's early brace put Aj...
A Lansing, Mich., TV Anchor Is Having A Bad Night
Election night is a trial-by-fire for many broadcast (and, increasingly, print) journalists—the rapid-fire coverage and ever-changing projections can throw anchors for a loop, especially younger ones more familiar with reading prepared scripts off a TelePrompTer. So here's Jason Colthorp of WILX i...
Dion Waiters's 28-Point Performance Put A Big Smile On His Face
The Cleveland Cavaliers downed the Clippers in Los Angeles last night 108-101 thanks to some mega-clutch fourth quarter play from Dion Waiters (with a little help from Kyrie Irving). Waiters hit back-to-back threes in the final minutes to hold off Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and the result put bi...
Riley Cooper Was Hiding In The Endzone On The Touchdown That Was Called Back For An Illegal Forward Pass
This was quite the play. Riley Cooper took the ball 94 yards for a touchdown on a nifty cross-field lateral off a New Orleans kickoff. It would have essentially nullified a nearly six-minute, 70-yard drive and put the Eagles back within a score. Instead it was nullified as an illegal forward pass,...

In less than 30 minutes, Marcus Vick went from excited to inconsolable. He was pumped up for Philadelphia's big Monday Night Football matchup with the New Orleans Saints.

Steve Smith Goes Big Willie Style
Steve Smith had himself a totally average day: 41 yards receiving and one touchdown. But it's what you do with yourself after the touchdown that counts-and did Smith ever do stuff with himself after the touchdown. Following a 19 yard reception in the second quarter Steve did this little (???) dance ...
