Von Miller And Josh Norman Play <i>Doom</i> With Conan O’Brien And It’s Great
If we’ve learned anything from Conan O’Brien’s new Super Bowl tradition of picking up the sticks with two of the big game’s participants, it’s that nothing lowers the guard of famously media-averse pro athletes like ruthlessly murdering animated sprites in video games. Josh Norman and Von Miller pic...
Report: Clippers Trade Josh Smith For The Lint In Daryl Morey's Pocket
Depth was a problem that the Los Angeles Clippers aimed to fix last offseason, particularly with the signings of Josh Smith and Lance Stephenson. Both have been disasters this season, and now Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Clips are sending Smith back to the Houston Rockets in exch...
Philly Radio Dipshit Calls Jason Kelce A "House Negro"
Sports radio is full of terrible morons who use their short tempers to draw out a two-minute topic into a 10-minute segment. (Examples can be found here, here, here, and here.) The only acceptable sports radio is Mike Francesa taking 40 minutes to name all the stops on the 7 train, and presumably th...
Josh Norman's Freelance Sack Was As Brilliant As It Was Ballsy
It’s hard to call any play made by a team that was up 31-0 at halftime and led through all four quarters a true “game-saver,” but there’s no denying that the Panthers were in need of a big play after the Seahawks’ successful fake punt late in the third quarter. That’s when Josh Norman went off-scrip...
It's Jonjo Shelvey's Time To Shine
Jonjo Shelvey has been on the verge of breaking out for five years. He played for every English youth international team, and was plucked from Charlton Athletic by Liverpool at 18. After a highly successful loan spell he began to make regular appearances in the squad, and his resemblance to club leg...
Dean Blandino Told Official During Giants-Panthers: "You Can Eject Players"
NFL VP of officiating Dean Blandino said that he spoke with an official at the height of the personal foul battles between New York and Carolina, and told him that the league would support the ejection of Odell Beckham Jr., and possibly Josh Norman as well....
New Video Shows Confrontation Between Odell Beckham Jr. And Bat-Carrying Panthers Player
It’s hard to know what to make of Batghazi—the claims, which were released to various reporters all at the same time, hinting they came from a Giants source, that Panthers players gestured toward Odell Beckham Jr. with baseball bats before the game in which Beckham completely lost his composure. Her...
Cops: Denied The Bathroom, UFC's Julianna Pena Kicked Two Men In The Groin
UFC fighter Julianna Pena was arrested yesterday in Spokane, Wash. after, according to police, a bar refused to let her and her bloodied friend, fellow fighter Joshua Gow, use their bathroom to clean up because they were closing. Upset by this, witnesses told police, she kicked two different men in ...
Reports: Bat-Wielding Panthers Menaced Odell Beckham Jr. During Pregame
Are you ready for the war of fists and words between Odell Beckham Jr. and the Panthers’ secondary to reach (sink to?) a new level of absurdity? Well then you are in luck, because now baseball bats are involved....
Odell Beckham Jr. Should Have Been Ejected
Despite the headline, this isn’t a hot take. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s a statement of fact, really: given Beckham’s increasingly violent tantrums, culminating in a legitimately dangerous after-the-whistle hit on Josh Norman, he had absolutely no business being in that football...
OBJ And The Panthers Cornerbacks Are Staging A Boxing Match In The Middle Of A Football Game
Odell Beckham Jr.’s matchup today with Josh Norman, perhaps the best corner in the game this year, is one of the coolest one-on-one matchups we’ve seen all year. On the Giants’ fourth play from scrimmage, Beckham burned Norman, and then dropped a perfectly good touchdown. A few plays later in the qu...
The Josh Norman-Rodney Harrison Beef Is So Excellent Right Now
Josh Norman just might be the best corner in football right now, and is certainly the most visible player on a fantastic defense that hasn’t let the Panthers lose a game yet. But former NFL safety and NBC analyst Rodney Harrison is not quite as impressed as Norman thinks he should be. The two have b...
The Browns Need To Choose A New QB Again
Give the Browns this: for a team mired in a perpetual quarterback controversy, they manage never to have the same one twice. With Josh McCown reportedly out for the year, the newest debate is between Austin Davis, who wasn’t even with the team in training camp, and (once again) Johnny Manziel, who M...
Even ESPN Is Trying To Warn You About Tonight's Dreadful Ravens-Browns Game
Tonight, the Ravens and Browns will play what will most likely be the least appealing Monday night game of the season. Look at the schedule. Vikings-49ers was horrid, but at least we had Jim Tomsula reaction shots to entertain us. This game will have nothing....
The Clippers Are A Goddamn Mess
The ever-combustible Clippers up and combusted today. This afternoon, they dropped their third straight game (and their sixth of seven) to the Toronto Raptors. 6-7 is good for the worst start of the Chris Paul era. Given the cocktail of stubborn personalities in that locker room, it’s thoroughly uns...
Panthers' Josh Norman Fined For Patriotic Cleats During "Salute To Service" Game
The NFL rolled out its Salute to Service campaign this past weekend, recognizing the military and hawking apparel with a special green and camo theme. Panthers cornerback Josh Norman’s gesture was wearing special cleats in Sunday’s game against the Packers. The league fined him $5,000....

NJ Devils Owner's Helicopter Parks On Soccer Field, Cancels Youth Game [Update]
A youth soccer game at Saint Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark, N.J., was called off Sunday night after a helicopter touched down in the middle of the pitch and stayed there. This was no emergency landing, however: the vehicle was there to pick up Josh Harris, billionaire owner of the New Jers...
Reggie Bush Is The Latest Victim Of The Rams' Concrete Ring Of Death
The 49ers believe Reggie Bush’s injury, suffered yesterday against the Rams, is a torn ACL, a season-ender. It’s a particularly frustrating one for Bush, who’s had trouble staying healthy throughout his career, because it had basically nothing to do with football. Bush was just the latest victim of ...

Josh Scobee Needs A Hug
I wouldn’t wish the life of a kicker on anyone. For the most part, no one notices you until you fuck up. Oh hey: Josh Scobee....
