The Browns Have A Ton Of Options At QB, I Wonder How They'll Blow It
The carousel of mediocre-to-competent QB talent is spinning, and I want to get off. And not because it’s too intoxicating. For the Browns, we know this is going to end in tears. Tears and barf....
Which Is Worse: St. Patrick's Day Or SantaCon?
Today is one of the two major opportunities for belligerent public day-drinking associated with a saint. Is it better or worse than the other one?...
Rick Reilly Just Will Not Go Away
Since going into something like semi-retirement two years ago, disgraced dentistry enthusiast Rick Reilly has stayed relatively quiet, delighting sports fans everywhere. Not two weeks ago, though, he emerged with a long, bad SI cover story on the Golden State Warriors, and now he’s sent out what wil...
Report: The Broncos Would Go After Colin Kaepernick If They Lose Brock Osweiler
There hasn’t been a defending Super Bowl champion with a quarterback question this glaring since, well, the last time the Broncos won and their QB retired. (Brian Griese did not turn out to be the answer.) But Denver enters free agency with Brock Osweiler unsigned and reportedly very interested in h...
Who Did This?
The Dodo, the internet’s best source for fucked-up animal news, has once again derailed my evening. I’ve lost the ability to do anything but stare at photos of this absurdly busted dog and laugh until I cry....
How To Party Without Drinking
About two years ago, I quit drinking. Initially, I didn’t attempt to “mask” my teetotalism at social gatherings: I’d meet a group at a bar, never order anything, and give long-winded answers to anyone who asked why. As my friends and coworkers can attest, it can be awkward as hell being stone-cold s...
The Texans And Browns May Or May Not Be Interested In Colin Kaepernick, Depending Who You Believe
The Super Bowl was just three weeks ago but the NFL offseason is already in full swing. Thus far we’ve seen combine dong, Hard Knocks rumors, and the Ryan boys styling out. The draft is in two months, and teams are steady evaluating who can fill spots of need. One of those spots that could be empty:...

Reports: Colin Kaepernick's Agents Request Permission From 49ers To Seek A Trade
The San Francisco 49ers have been quite insistent lately that quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who took them to the Super Bowl in 2013 but lost his job last season amidst anemic play, injuries, and a devolving relationship with the team, is still in their long-term plans. At the NFL Scouting Combine, G...
How The Spanish Economic Crisis Might Force Alberto Contador To Retire
Alberto Contador is the greatest stage racer of his generation. Even after getting stripped of the 2010 Tour de France and the 2011 Giro d’Italia, he has the fourth-most Grand Tour wins in cycling history, and he’s the third cyclist ever to win the Giro and the Vuelta a España in the same year. The ...
The Sixers Realize They're A Big Joke, Are Now Maybe Trying To Fix That
The Philadelphia 76ers, those smirking pioneers of a remarkably misguided, anti-fun, actuarial, game theory-ass approach to NBA basketball, are now starting to realize that you can’t exactly build a winning basketball team while ignoring, well, the basketball. Back in December, the NBA more or less ...
Cleveland Radio Dummy Cries Censorship
When the Buffalo Bills made Kathryn Smith a full-time coach in January, Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley did not like the hiring. “She couldn’t possibly be qualified to the same level that a man could be qualified to do that,” Kiley said on his Jan. 21 show on 92.3 The Fan. Thursday night, Ki...
Rob Gronkowski Grinds On Fox Sports Anchor
Rob Gronkowski was on Fox Sports today, and the topic of his supposed brief career as a stripper came up. Anchor Julie Stewart-Binks suggested he should dance for her. “If you had a chance to make some more money using, maybe, me ...” she said. “Wanna maybe show us a little Magic Mike?” Gronk agreed...
The NFL Can't Stop Pandering At Women
The video starts out simply enough, with a stereotypical pseudo-military march followed by a booming voice announcing “Patriots Today!” and a quick announcement from a corporate sponsor. But this report from the New England Patriots soon takes a turn. There are no highlights of tackles, catches, or ...

Kristaps Porzingis And His Agent Wanted Nothing To Do With The 76ers' Process
Though a full accounting won’t be possible for a number of years, so far the breakout stars of the 2015 draft are Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis. Picking third, the Philadelphia 76ers missed out on a chance at Towns. But they passed on Porzingis, opting for Duke standout Jahlil Okafor, fo...
Mark Schlereth Has Some Thoughts On The Solar System
Today, son of Alaska, ESPN football analyst, and chili plug Mark Schlereth piqued our interest when he tweeted this smuggish tweet......
12 Root Beers, Ranked
Any of you happy bastards still clinging to the Sober January charade? Me neither, thank goodness, but I do always try to dial the booze back a bit during the darkest stretch of winter. I figure it’s impossible to truly enjoy life during this accursed half-season, so why sully liquor’s good name by ...
Radio Dummy On Female NFL Coach: "There's No Place For A Woman In Professional Sports, In Football, Coaching Men"
Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley clearly has a problem with women. Last year, he shared some extremely dumb thoughts about the NFL’s first female referee, saying that the NFL was the “wrong place to put a woman.” He has very similar thoughts on the Bills’ decision to hire Kathryn Smith as a f...
The 76ers Aren't Historically Bad Anymore, They're Just Bad
The Philadelphia 76ers clobbered the Portland Trail Blazers last night, winning 114-89 for their fifth victory of the season. At one point they were 1-30 with an average point differential of -13.3; now they’re 5-37 with an average point differential of -11.1. They still aren’t any good, but their f...
