Jacoby Jones Earns Marylanders Over $600,000 In Free Furniture
That one play saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for furniture shoppers and, more importantly, it gave Gardiner's Furniture a truckload of free advertising. The deal went like this: If you shopped in the store between January 31 and 3 p.m. Super Bowl Sunday and the Ravens took either the openi...
Jalen Rose Partied In Bloomington And Shared His Thoughts On Jordan's Flu Game, Reggie Miller's Ex-Wife, And ESPN's Drug Testing
On Saturday ESPN analyst Jalen Rose was in Bloomington for College GameDay, ahead of No. 3 Indiana beating No. 1 Michigan. On Sunday, he was in New Orleans for the network's Super Bowl festivities. In between he washed away his sorrows at watering hole Kilroy's Sports, as well as at some random dude...
"You Couldn't Help But Think, Where's Bob Costas?" An Ex-Producer On How CBS—And ESPN—Screwed Up Last Night
So CBS really, really shat the bed during last night's 34-minute power outage. How could they have handled things differently? We checked in with Those Guys Have All the Fun co-author Jim Miller, who used to be the senior executive producer of Anderson Cooper 360....
This Is More Or Less What Happened To The Ravens In The Third Quarter
Here's how the Ravens played in the third: A long Jacoby Jones touchdown return—bad news for the 49ers, obviously—a 34-minute power outage, punt, punt, Haloti Ngata knee sprain (which has him doubtful to return), fumble, Jacoby Jones getting enormously jacked up by Delanie Walker on a kick return. ...
Jacoby Jones Just Returned The Opening Kickoff Of The Second Half 109 Yards For A Touchdown
According to CBS that is an NFL record. The Ravens won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half. The decision allowed Jones to break an NFL record and toss his hat in the ring for Super Bowl MVP alongside Joe Flacco. NFL record and two pretty exciting touchdowns? We like his chances. ...
The Ravens Dig The Deep Ball: Joe Flacco And Jacoby Jones Connect For The Play Of The Super Bowl (So Far)
We've previously mentioned Baltimore's affinity for the deep ball and here is Joe Flacco, once again, successfully going long. He may have underthrown it just a bit (give him a break though, he did throw it 50 yards downfield), but Jacoby Jones helped his quarterback out. He caught the ball as h...
LaMichael James Pulled Off An Awesome Spin Move And Then Oooof
LaMichael James had 27 carries in the regular season, because Jim Harbaugh hates rookies, and because the 49ers were pretty well stocked in the backfield. But tonight, Harbaugh loosened up a bit, giving James the chance of a lifetime—an opportunity to break free in the Super Bowl. It worked great f...
ESPN Misreads Matt Barkley Quote, Causes Confusion For USC
Here's ESPN's Arash Markazi, writing about a radio interview former USC quarterback Matt Barkley did earlier today (emphasis ours):...

Coyotes Sale Falls Apart As Prospective Owner Can't Come Up With The Money
The drama surrounded Coyotes ownership has raged for years, from one owner putting the team into bankruptcy, to the NHL buying the Yotes up, to the courts blocking one sale because the league opposed Jim Balsillie's plan to move the team to Hamilton, Ontario, to the emergence of Greg Jamison as a po...
You Can Now Purchase Classic NBA Games On iTunes
Well, this is pretty goddamn cool. The NBA has made ten classic games available for purchase on iTunes. You can now download and watch Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's first game, Game 7 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals, and Game 1 of the 1997 finals as many times as you want. And the best part is that ...
Kari Lehtonen Made The Best Save Of This Young NHL Season
It shouldn't have come to this. Dallas's Kari Lehtonen should never have had to make this spinning, behind-the-back swipe that kept the Stars-Blue Jackets game scoreless. Even screened by Nick Foligno, Lehtonen will probably be the first to tell you he should have gloved the puck, or knocked it do...
The Art Of The Japanese Bat Flip
This video was put together by some unknown Japanese hero a year ago, but it's making the rounds today (I think it popped up first on Fangraphs last week). And that's 100 percent of the background on the video you're going to get....
Chris Bosh Says He's A Lock For The Hall Of Fame, And He's Not Too Far Off
A couple of days ago, Chris Bosh told Fox Sports that he feels good about his chances of making the Hall of Fame:...
101-Year-Old Man Retires From Running Marathons, Shaming You
Well, it was bound to happen. Fauja Singh, the old guy who is too old to prove how old he is, announced he will be retiring from running marathons. It's worth mentioning again, though, that he is almost 102 years old and still actively running marathons. Next month's Hong Kong Marathon on February ...
The Fan Who Hit That Half-Court Shot And Got Tackled By LeBron Had The Best Night Ever
That's judging by this photo, tweeted out by Heat owner Mickey Arison the morning after 50-year old computer technician Michael Drysch hit a half-court hook shot to win $75,000 at half-time of a Heat game, and got hug-tackled by LeBron for his trouble. Arison's message: "What does one do after winn...
This Fan Getting Hugtackled By LeBron James After Hitting A Half-Court Hook Shot Is The Greatest Thing Ever
During tonight's Pistons-Heat game, one lucky fan got the opportunity to shoot a half-court hook shot for $75,000. By some miracle, the shot went in, and nobody found themselves more excited about that fact than LeBron James, who rushed onto the court and leaped onto our cargo-shorted hero in a di...

JaVale McGee Throws Himself An Alley-Oop, Dons A Celebratory Fingerstache
JaVale McGee continues to be a delight. A normal basketball player, after fooling Omer Asik with a savvy pump fake, would have finished this play with a simple step-through move and a gentle layup. But JaVale McGee is not a normal basketball player, and so the fact that he decided to throw himself...
