Okay, Now NFL Teams Are Just Flaunting It
The Buffalo Bills today signed Joe Webb as a backup quarterback. You may remember Joe Webb from when he last threw a pass in a regular season NFL game, which was in friggin’ 2011. Webb has made more appearances as a wide receiver (1) than as a quarterback (0) in the years since....
The Mets Will Pitch Matt Harvey On Short Rest, For Reasons Passing Understanding
It’s nothing short of cruel that the Mets have to find a way to finish out these next 26 games.

Cam Newton's Brother Led The Largest Point-Spread Upset In College Football History
When Howard University’s football team kicked off against UNLV in Las Vegas last night, they did so as 45-point road underdogs.

<i>NYT</i> Op-Ed: The Real Villains Are Those Who Doubt The Motives Of Anonymous NFL Executives
If there was one thing the ongoing Colin Kaepernick unemployment saga really needed, it was a flaccid, incomprehensibly contrarian op-ed in the dear old New York Times. Boy does this one, from Colin Fleming, not disappoint:...

Spain’s wonderful Gasol-led national team today took on a Czech Republic squad that was distressingly overpowered given the presence of Wizards’ backup and future All-NBA guard Tomas Satoransky. This was a Eurobasket group stage match, played in Romania....
Here Are The Tomato Psychos
