All I wanted was a slice. That's not too much to ask, is it? ...
Eagles Fan Spits On Saints Fan Moments After Losing
Saints fan Nick Scelfo was at the Linc to watch his team win on a field goal as time expired. He recorded the moments after the Eagles lost, celebrating while being surrounded by Philly fans. Most of them ignored him, but one fan near him said, "I'm gonna spit in your face," a second before followin...
Botched Wrestling Move At Ring Of Honor Show Nearly Breaks A Neck
What you see is Roddy Strong taking a Styles Clash from A.J. Styles very, very awkwardly at a Ring of Honor show. (Here's the normal result of that move.) The finish was awful, but it could have been even worse....
Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night. Despite losing Jamaal Charles, inarguably their best offensive player, to a possible concussion six plays into the game, Kansas City's offense still produced 44 points. It's a shame that the Col...
Chiefs-Colts Was The Classic Playoff Game We Get Every Year
It happens nearly every year and we're always surprised, but Chiefs-Colts was another insane NFL playoff game. After a close first quarter, the Chiefs jumped all over the Colts in the second quarter with 21 points and headed into the half—on an Andrew Luck interception—with a 31-10 lead. The Colts c...
Penn State's D.J. Newbill Ejected For Shoving Kendrick Nunn In Neck
Plays like this always make me think about the existence of a textbook for broadcasters. "It's always the second guy who gets caught" would be in Chapter 1, along with a section on Aikmanisms like "...and I'm not so sure they didn't do just that, Joe." Anyway, D.J. Newbill was the second guy here—...
The Saints Are Eating Popeyes Again
The Saints always seem to get a little salty when naysayers bring up the performance disparity when they play on the road. Drew Brees bristled earlier this year after a loss to Seattle when it was suggested the team was basically a guaranteed loss on the road. He had stats ready to show how it was ...
Anthony Sherman Touchdown Celebrations Are A Work In Progress
It's only, like, the second time he's ever done this though, so he's got time to work on it....
Jamaal Charles Left The Game After This Play
Jamaal Charles left the game during the Chiefs first drive of the game (a touchdown-scoring drive, regardless) after this hit/tackle. It looks like his helmet hits the ground and he clearly was slow getting up. According to the Bob Glauber he is being evaluated for a concussion and his return is lis...
Ok. St.'s Final Possession Was Alternatingly Electric And Maddening
For three quarters, the Cotton Bowl was a defensive game. In the fourth quarter, both offensives exploded and began trading touchdowns. The fire inside Gus Johnson that had been contained all night, was slowly rising for what we surely all knew was going to happen. Missouri took a 34-31 lead with t...

Let's look at how the 57 NFL Pundits we are tracking fared with their preseason predictions for the division winners. First, here were their collective predictions:...

Why Are So Many Athletes Posing For Pictures With A Holocaust Denier?
San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker's fascism problem started years ago, but it didn't catch up to him until a week ago, on another continent, in another sport. ...
Two Japanese Soccer Stars Play Team Of 55 Kids On Game Show
What do you get when you mix Shinji Kagawa and Hiroshi Kiyotake, 33 Japanese kids, and a soccer pitch? Well, a pretty easily scored goal. But what about when you up the number to 55? Pure chaos....
