Peyton "FIGJAM" Manning: Your <i>Monday Night Football</i> GIF Roundup
Denver 37, Oakland 21: Fuck I'm good, just ask me. Yeah, you are Peyton. You're pretty effing good.

Islanders Player Too Modest To Let Bird Flap In The Wind
This poor guy. A teammate in the back of this John Tavares interview poked his head around the wall of the showers and saw nothing but cameras rolling.

The Astros Drew A 0.00 Nielsen Rating
Last week we cringed to the news that the Astros drew an average local viewership of 1,000 people for a game—less than for an out-of-market WNBA game on at the same time. How bad could it get for yesterday's 9-2 loss at Cleveland, which went up against the Texans' game? Pretty damn bad....

Which Dead TV Person Got The Most (And Least) Applause At The Emmys?
The "In Memoriam" segment is an awards-show staple. Every year, we're provided a montage of those who died in the previous year; last night's Emmy Awards, though, provided a handful of dead luminaries their own, separate mini-eulogies. Of those who weren't given that honor, which one got the most a...

Sunderland manager Paolo "I'm Not A Fascist" Di Canio was fired on Sunday, just 13 games into his first coaching job in the Premier League. He went out with a bang, though, as he engaged in a very odd confrontation with Sunderland fans after a 3-0 loss to West Brom on Saturday. ...

The New <em>SportsCenter</em> Commercial You're Going To See Everywhere
