Brett Favre Will Have To Answer Questions Under Oath About Those <i>Other</i> Ladies He Allegedly Sexted

Maybe The Marlins Just Suck
There's a numbers-heavy post up on Fish Stripes today suggesting that the 8-14 Marlins are due for a regression and an improvement. Let me make this counterargument: they're not. They might just suck....
That Fan Who Hugged Luis Suarez Treated The Crowd To A Great Big Wanking Motion Before Mooning Everybody
On Saturday, we showed you footage of Liverpool's Luis Suarez clinching a hat trick by scoring from 45 yards out against Norwich City.

Rain Delay Theater, Human Toilet Edition
We're closer to living in a just world, a world where college baseball rain delay antics are front page news and lead SportsCenter.

Sometimes You're The Cyclist, And Sometimes You're The Pavement Splatter
This video comes to us via good old Jimmy Traina, and god damn.

Did Derrick Rose's Shoes Cause His Knee Injury?
Today, Chicago froths at a Nike shoe designer, Jason Petrie, who tweeted on Saturday that Derrick Rose should have signed with Nike, like LeBron did. LeBron, wrote Petrie, was only getting stronger, while Rose, thanks to his high-top adiZero Rose 2.5's, was toast, with a torn ACL....
Bartolo Colon Is Getting People Out
Have you seen Bartolo Colon pitch? He is worth seeing. Last year, it was amusing to watch the portly ex-Cy Young winner's return to adequacy, in his late 30s, after missing an entire season. It was a funny little joke about the vagaries of sports, or of life....
Florida State's New Mascot Is Just The <em>Cutest</em>

That's according to Roethlisberger, who said as much during what the Altoona Mirror called his "first-ever speaking engagement" Saturday night.

Better Dirty Than Humbled: The Lights Go Down On The Bernard Hopkins Show
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—For years, Bernard Hopkins has entered the ring for each of his fights wearing a black balaclava, only his eyes visible, arms crossed overhead in an "X" to signify his nickname, "The Executioner." Outside the ring, he's a chatty bald man with a flattened nose and kindly eyes, now...
Wally Backman Says "Fuck" 35 Times In Postgame Speech That Lasts Less Than Two Minutes
When last we left minor league manager Wally Backman, he was swearing at umpires, swearing at his own team, and swearing at umpires some more. So, yeah, this latest clip of Wally working his motivational charms is decidedly NSFW....
Dear Abby: Cleveland Sports Have Created An 8-Year-Old Psychopath
Yesterday's "Dear Abby" column featured "Good dad in Cleveland," who's seeking advice on what to do with his eight-year-old son, understandably driven to animal abuse by the frustrations of being a Cleveland sports fan.

Report Card: Grading The NFL Draft Grades
It's that time of year, when we assign nebulous indicators of quality to the impossibly difficult to evaluate drafting of NFL talent. We'll look at the some of the best and brightest draft grades and let you know how each organization did in grading the 2012 NFL Draft. We realize that grading the g...
<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i> Columnist Joe Cowley Rides A Plane, Degrades Women Everywhere
Ever since Jay Marrioti fell off the face of the planet, the Chicago Sun-Times has been a little light in the abusive-toward-females department.

Colin Fraser Came To Regret Starring In Madonna's "Like A Prayer" Video
The eight-seeded L.A. Kings jumped out to a 1-0 lead in their series against St. Louis with a 3-1 win continuing a remarkable streak of success that suggests maybe fan favorite Jack Johnson, jettisoned in a trade to Columbus near the deadline, was more clubhouse cancer than Brushfire Fairytale....
