Dutch Soccer Player Released From Team For Being A "Wildpoeper," Which Is Someone Who Poops In The Woods
There must be an epidemic of people shitting outside in the Netherlands. Why else would the Dutch have a specific word that is used to describe public shitters, and why else would a soccer player be immediately released from his team for being discovered as a "wildpoeper?"...
Mario Balotelli Does Thing
Man City striker Mario Balotelli finally scored his first league goal this week against Wigan, and the wacky Clown Prince of the EPL decided to celebrate with a new tattoo. This alone wouldn't be noteworthy, except that the tattoo is on his chest and reads:...
Great, Now Notre Dame Fans Will Think They're Good At Basketball, Too
The Fighting Irish downed Kentucky last night 64-50 thanks to a cold night of Wildcats shooting, prompting a Notre Dame court-storming and an even more-inflated sense of importance among followers of Our Lady. UK coach John Calipari responded by pledging to modify his previous refusal to play in Bl...
The Time Drew Brees Threw Five Picks And No Touchdown Passes: Saints-Falcons, In Two GIFs
Falcons 23, Saints 13: I'll admit, I wasn't too high on the Falcons coming into tonight's contest, which seemed not like the typical "trap game"—the Saints are way too talented to catch anyone off guard in such a respect—but it just felt like perhaps the Falcons were ripe for a reality check, havin...

Why Did <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Colorize Baylor's Black Uniforms? [UPDATE: <em>SI</em> Responds, Sort Of]
Today the Dallas Morning News photography blog noted something interesting about last week's issue of Sports Illustrated: in the "Leading Off" section, a photo from Baylor's upset win over Kansas State shows the Bears wearing green jerseys.

Rolando McClain Somehow Managed To Get Himself Kicked Off The Woeful Oakland Raiders [UPDATE]
Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain is the type of player who probably gets called "troubled" a lot. (Yes, he is.) That perception stems from the incident that also produced the glorious perp walk you see above. McClain was accused, and later convicted, of putting a gun to a man's head, pointing in a...

NASCAR Driver Brad Keselowski Is Tragically Bad At Basketball
We are unabashed fans of Brad Keselowski, because he gave this awesome, boozy victory speech on SportsCenter after winning the Sprint Cup. Keselowski is a good driver and a great interview, but as you can see in the video above, he is a horrendous basketball player....
The NFL Has Been Making Unruly Fans Pay To Take Anger Management Courses From A Shady Therapist
Yesterday's New York Times featured a story about the NFL's ongoing struggle to keep fans from acting like maniacs and beating the shit out of each other at games.

Rajon Rondo Didn't Take Too Kindly To Kris Humphries' Foul On Kevin Garnett [UPDATE]
Celtics guard Rajon Rondo wasn't just going to sit back after this Kris Humphries throwdown on Kevin Garnett, so (despite an eight-inch height differential) he sacrificed his 37-game streak of 10 or more assists to start an epic shoving match that looks to have been completely punchless. Humphries...
