Peyton Manning Scolds College Kids, Achieves Maximum Dadness

Andrelton Simmons Makes Another Superhuman Defensive Play
Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons has a habit of not just making spectacular defensive plays, but making spectacular defensive plays that you've never quite seen before. Last night against the Marlins, he did his thing again....
Pujols, Trout Mock Fernando Rodney's "Arrow" Celebration
There's nothing more frustrating than an opposing closer being demonstrative about doing his job. Say, Fernando Rodney getting the third out, then miming pulling an arrow out of his quiver, nocking it, and firing. Infuriating, if it's against you.

A foul ball off the bat of Seattle's Brad Miller shattered the glass in a dining area located in the mezzanine section, somewhere between home plate and the visiting dugout.

No One Likes Jim Boeheim As Much As This Guy With A Jim Boeheim Tattoo
Oh, you're a Syracuse men's basketball fan? You like Jim Boeheim? WRONG. What the hell do you know about liking Jim Boeheim? Do you have a 10-inch tattoo of Jim Boeheim's face on your leg? No? Some Jim Boeheim fan you are....
How Rupert Murdoch Could Go To War With ESPN
The blockbuster news that Rupert Murdoch bid $80 billion for Time Warner—and was at least temporarily rebuffed—points to an impending seismic shift in the media landscape. And, as the New York Times points out today, nowhere would that shift be felt more than in the business of televised sports. A F...

Donald Cerrone And John Lineker Are What's Right With Fighting
I love body shots. There is a horrible, wonderful noise generated when a professional athlete hits another professional athlete in the torso, a thudding slap of skeleton and meat.
