On May 11, 1983, Nancy Argentino died in a Pennsylvania hotel room from traumatic brain injuries.

Former NFL Player: I Guarantee I Have CTE
This is an interview series in which we ask the plaintiffs of the NFL concussion lawsuit one question (and maybe a few more): Knowing what you know now, if you could do it over again, would you still play football?...
Which NFL Experts Predicted A Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl?
We have recently recapped the awful performances of baseball and college football pundits—both groups whiffed entirely on either of the championship game participants. Did the NFL pundits do any better with their preseason predictions? We tracked 63 "experts" from CBS, ESPN, NFL.com, and Sports Illu...

The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Playoffs
The Super Bowl is about three things, in no particular order because that's not the riot we're here to start today: 1. The Football 2. The Commercials 3. The Food. Maybe The Halftime Show too, but that mostly depends on whether or not we get to see some nipple action....
Northwestern Football Players Are Trying To Unionize
In the opening shots of a major new assault on the NCAA's amateurism model, an "overwhelming majority" of Northwestern football players have filed to be recognized as members of a union. Their endgame, if successful, would be college football players officially being classified as employees....
Juan Mata Is Signed. What Will Manchester United Do With Him?
We knew something had to give at Manchester United, what with the team's huge mounds of money begging to fill the huge holes in the squad, but it's still a bit of a surprise that the deal in hand is for Chelsea's Juan Mata, bought for a reported £37M. A bona fide world-class number 10 is a nice addi...
Kevin Durant Is Inevitable
The Thunder played a basketball game last night, and that means that Kevin Durant did something amazing. The Slim Reaper didn't get pissed off this time, but he still dropped 41 points on 25 shots and won a game with two unguardable shots, the last a pull-up floater that the Hawks couldn't have bloc...
North Hollywood Forty
I WAS sitting at the window of a ninth-floor room in the Stoneleigh Hotel the week before Hollywood Henderson's wedding, facing approximately north, reckoning by the Dallas Cowboys tower out on North Central Expressway.

LeBron James: Pretty Good At Rapping "Back That Ass Up"
Last night was Shane Battier's annual karaoke event, known as "Battioke," which in the past has brought us gems like Mike Miller and Chris Andersen singing "Ice Ice Baby."

Marshawn Lynch "Skittle Sausage" Looks Like The Worst Thing Ever
I want to be openminded about this, because I will eat pretty much anything. But the idea of adding a giant bag of Skittles to hot sausage seems as gross at that screengrab looks....
Statistically, When Is The Best Time To Buy Super Bowl Tickets?
Just a few days ago, you'd have had a better chance of finding a reasonably priced one-bedroom in Manhattan than you would've of scoring Super Bowl tickets for less than a mortgage payment or ten. For those who were able to hold off a few days, though, the savings are likely in the thousands....
