By Adding Tulane And East Carolina, The Big East's Takeover Of Conference USA Is Almost Complete
Oh, look: The Big East is adding teams again, because why not? West Virginia already bolted, Pitt and Syracuse will be gone next year, and Rutgers the year after that (if not sooner). What better solution, then, than to add Tulane for all sports and East Carolina for football?...
The Bobcats Were So, So Awful Last Night
While Raymond Felton was ruining the end of an otherwise good Nets-Knicks game for a national audience, the Charlotte Bobcats were quietly having a statement game of their own—plunging deep into the depths of basketball shittiness during a 114-69 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

These Are The Faces Of Philadelphia: Panthers-Eagles, In Two GIFs
Carolina 30, Philadelphia 22: As a fan, maybe you know the internal feeling that this man is expressing outwardly.

Jamaal Charles Waited Around for Peyton Manning's Autograph After Losing To Peyton Manning
According to Neal Jones of KCTV-5, Dwayne Bowe also got in on the action and posed for some pictures with Manning following Kansas City's 17-9 loss to the Broncos. And he actually made some sense. When cameras caught the two Chiefs stars milling around for Manning, it was a goofy bit of video—which...

The Eagles Can't Even Fire Some No-Name Marketing Executive Without Screwing Something Up
The Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon fired someone named Tim McDermott. From a football standpoint, it's not a big deal. McDermott was the team's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, so it's not like he was responsible for, say, drafting Jaiquwan Jarrett. If anything, shitcanning McD...

Jason Babin May Have Lost His Mind
Tonight's game between the Panthers and Eagles looked really good when the schedules first came out, but in reality, it will be a hot mess between two underachieving teams with no current playoff hopes led by coaches trying to save their jobs.

Harrison Barnes Demolishes Nikola Pekovic With The Dunk Of The Year
