Lawsuit Accuses Bad Football Dad Of Dressing Like Referee At Son's Playoff Game And Bragging Online About Influencing The Outcome
We’ve got controversy in the Illinois High School Association Class 7A football playoffs, folks. Two controversies, in fact. One is a fairly mundane case of disorganization in high school football. The other involves costuming and bad parenting and a lawsuit, and a father boasting on social media ab...
Curling Team Banned From Alberta Tournament For Being So, So Drunk
Curling has long been billed as a sport that you can play while drinking. While that’s true, and it’s not unheard for recreational and competitive players to have a beer during a game, it’s definitely not true that you can play the game drunk, or at least play it well. That was proven in Alberta thi...
How Good Is Michigan?
An early shock in the young college basketball season happened just outside of Philadelphia last night, as the Michigan Wolverines went to Villanova and absolutely crushed the defending national champions, winning 73-46 in a rematch of last April’s title game. It’s extremely early in the year, and b...
Zion Williamson Wins His Latest Battle Against Gravity<em></em>
In their first game since becoming the new No. 1-ranked team in the country, Duke wasted no time showing that their new position atop the world of college basketball was well-earned. The Blue Devils asserted their dominance the only way they knew how: an obscenely impressive highlight from the high-...
Malcolm Gladwell Goes On Bill Simmons's Podcast, Delivers Sweaty Monologue On Nigerian Basketball Superiority
Malcolm Gladwell appeared on Bill Simmons’s podcast today to advance the claim that Nigerians would be the best possible basketball team composed of members of any one race. He began by arguing that being Nigerian depended on the player’s parents’ country of origin, and then kept building from there...
"Serena" "Williams" Is GQ's "'Woman' Of The Year"<em></em>
Serena Williams appeared on the cover of GQ this week as the magazine’s 2018 Woman of the Year. The issue had four covers. On hers, the word “Men” had been crossed out, with “Woman” scribbled above in quotation marks. Some observers, including New York Times tennis writer Ben Rothenberg, were puzzle...
Nathan Peterman Has Been Released, Man

Zion Williamson Spent Veterans Day Disrespecting The Troops
Veterans Day is a holiday meant to honor the veterans of this nation’s armed forces and the sacrifices they make. However, when entering the paint against Zion Williamson, this holiday gets brought to a momentary halt—you need to get that weak shit out of here, regardless of your status in the armed...
The Jets Defense Somehow Made Matt Barkley Look Competent
Before today, every Bills quarterback who had played in a game this season was either injured or deeply flummoxed by the game of football, so Buffalo’s had to dig deep into the scrap heap to find new guys to trot out. Fishing around with a rubber-gloved hand a few weeks back, they eventually grabbed...
Bills' Dion Dawkins Scores Wide-Open Fat Guy Touchdown
The Bills are currently dominating the Jets despite the fact that their fourth starting quarterback of the season, Matt Barkley, had not played a regular season game since Jan. 1, 2017. Buffalo clearly recognized that its opponent wasn’t going to stop anything today, so the oh-so-reliable fat guy to...
Louisville To Pay Bobby Petrino At Least $13 Million To Get The Hell Out
After a solid run of several fairly relevant seasons, the Louisville Cardinals are a horrifying disaster in 2018. Not only are they winless in ACC play, but almost all of their games have been pathetic blowouts that have served no good purpose besides making Lamar Jackson look like the greatest coll...
Bills Don't Rule Out Yet Another Outbreak Of Nathan Peterman
Nathan Peterman had the best game of his career last Sunday against the Bears. Yes, he threw for three interceptions and no touchdowns as he averaged a horrendous 3.84 yards per attempt on 41 passes, and yes, the Bills lost 41-9, but ... it appears there is no positive point on which to end this se...
WWE Released A Failed 1989 Wrestling Pilot And It's Awesomely Terrible<em></em>
The WWE Hidden Gems section of WWE Network’s on-demand library is one of the more reliably enjoyable things that the promotion offers, a weekly release of unseen or rarely seen footage from their vast archives that offers a compelling look at weird days gone by in the sport. Not every week is a home...
Even The Cameraman Swooned Over Vince Williams's Pick-Six
The Steelers are enjoying an explosive start to their game against the Panthers tonight, and after a 30-second sequence that saw the teams score a combined 21 points, the excitement proved to be too much for one Fox cameraperson....
Everyone's Mad At Bill James For Being An Old Dummy
Bill James, father of sabermetrics, consultant for the Boston Red Sox, and guy who routinely shares the sort of opinions that get him publicly clowned by his daughter, unleashed a doozie last night....
P.K. Subban Turns Down Fight By Declaring Himself A "Pussy," Telling Opponent How Much He Sucks
Predators defenseman P.K. Subban had himself a nice little chat with Avalanche defender Nikita Zadorov during a stoppage in play in Nashville’s 4-1 last night. Zadorov apparently invited Subban to fight him, and although the confrontation wasn’t caught on camera, a hot mic in the arena picked up som...
Zion Williamson Lived Up To The Hype
Last night, after what feels like decades of consuming Zion Williamson’s high school highlights and watching a few instances of him beating up on hapless Canadians, we finally got to see what the freshman can do against real D-I competition. What he can do is really fuck some people up....
Will Muschamp, Self-Proclaimed Molder Of Young Men, Didn't Talk To His Players About Voting
College football fetishizes the roles of its coaches as more than just coaches. They’re Teachers of Student-Athletes and Molders of Men. Always with the molding of men! In reality, the coaching pool is a mixture of bloated, irritable hicks and ancient, anal-retentive freaks. (Both categories are ove...
Blackhawks Fire Joel Quenneville, For Some Reason
My headline is slightly glib, because Joel Quenneville—the second-winningest coach in NHL history—was fired for the same reason every coach is fired: the Blackhawks just aren’t very good. But the thing is, it’s really not Quenneville’s fault at all....

Someone Left A Poo At The Bills Game [Update]
The turd was there before the Bills game even started. “This sums up the season pretty well,” says Tim, the Buffalo fan who sent us this photo. Tim says he got to his seats about a half-hour before kickoff, only to discover a piece of shit in the row in front of him....
