Miguel Ibarra's Extreme Chip Shot Is A <em>Golazo</em> In Any League
Miguel Ibarra is one of the U.S. Men's National Team's newest call-ups, and the masterful goal he scored tonight for Minnesota United should give American soccer fans reason to anticipate more international appearances for the 24-year-old. ...
Northwestern Reaches New Low, Falls Down On Last Play, Loses
We told you earlier that Northwestern and Michigan were playing a hilariously bad contest today. Even with some points, the second half topped the atrocious first. More poor special teams, muffed punts and interceptions weaved throughout the half. Northwestern started one drive off an interception a...
Northwestern And Michigan Are Playing One Of The Worst Games Ever
Last year, Northwestern, donned in jerseys that looked like tattered flags, and Michigan battled to a 9-9 tie through four quarters. They've played only two so far today, but the game has managed to be much worse than last year's snore-fest....

Dion Waiters Refutes Report On Why He Missed The National Anthem
Dion Waiters' national anthem snafu is the weird Cleveland Cavaliers story that won't go away. It started Wednesday night, when Waiters wasn't on the court before the game during the national anthem in Utah. Wednesday was also the first night Waiters came off the bench for the Cavs. The reason was...

You can't make this stuff up. Kenyan runner Rita Jeptoo's estranged husband, Noah Busienei, produced a letter dated April 2013 from his lawyer to Jeptoo threatening to reveal her doping, which he alleged had been happening since September 2011, to Athletics Kenya and WADA unless she paid him off.

Police: Rob Bironas Was Drunk, Speeding, And Dead At The Scene
The final report was released today by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on the crash that killed former Tennessee Titans kicker Rob Bironas.

Will Rita Jeptoo's Failed Drug Test Unravel Kenyan Running?
The news du annum in running is that one of the top distance runners in the world, Kenyan Rita Jeptoo, tested positive for the performance enhancing drug EPO in an out-of-competition evaluation.

FSU Sorority Girl Burns Everyone On Flag Football Touchdown
Delta Gamma's Michelle Roque channeled her inner LaDainian Tomlinson and toasted four defenders in a flag football game at Florida State. As a former flag football ref (for one semester), I can determine she did not use her hands to prevent any defender from grabbing one of her flags, so her moves a...
Jim Leyland Belts Out "Who's Your Daddy?"
Former Tigers manager Jim Leyland has a well-known love of singing, and it was a possible career path if that whole baseball thing hadn't worked out for him.

The Superhero Starter Kit: <em>Big Hero 6</em>, Reviewed
If you were trying to turn a kid onto action films for life, you could do a lot worse than starting him or her off with Big Hero 6. So fundamentally familiar that its alternate title might as well be My First Marvel Superhero Movie, it does just about everything you'd expect from an animated ad...
My Third-Grader, The Politician
Election Day, always a big event in D.C., was a whole lot bigger than normal here this year, if only in the McKenna household. Neither control of the U.S. Senate nor the fate of Obamacare factored into its bigness. Nah. This was all about Eddie running for office....
Otters Playing Keyboards
I've watched this like 50 times today. I think what gets me is that at first you think it's a bunch of otters, but with repeated viewings you realize it's mostly just the one little dude in the middle, shredding away. I made a joke in Deadspin Slack about this being better than a Genesis album, and ...
"He Reeked Of Jim Beam And Slim Jims": Your Best Mike Ditka Stories
Yesterday we posted Andy Richter's telling of Mike Ditka doing "one of the most senselessly arrogant & aggressive things" he'd ever witnessed. It seems that nearly everybody that has ever stepped foot in Chicago has a Mike Ditka story, usually involving cigars, booze, or both. Below are some of ...
