Bill Belichick Doesn't Regret Going For It On Fourth Down, Twice
The Patriots nearly pulled out a miracle tying drive thanks to two fourth-down conversions, but the game and the circumstances might’ve been vastly different if two earlier fourth-down tries had been successful—or never attempted at all. Of all the what-ifs New England is dealing with today, two Bil...
Stoke Defender Might Want To Retire After What Riyad Mahrez Did To Him
Like, Philipp Wollscheid at least should probably change his name after this. The elastico itself was disgusting, but that Riyad Mahrez flicked it through the poor defender’s legs, and that Wollscheid just stood their frozen, eyes cast downward looking like a child inspecting the damage after he’d j...
ESPN Suspended Bob Ryan For Calling Mark Jackson A "Bible-Pounding Phony"
ESPN suspended regular TV presence Bob Ryan for calling colleague Mark Jackson a “Bible-pounding phony” and “con man,” among other insults, on the Dan Le Batard Show, as first reported by The Big Lead. Ryan appears regularly on Around the Horn and Sports Reporters, and sometimes guest hosts Pardon t...
Mike Tolbert Is Officially Too Big And Sexy For His Jersey
Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert is one of the more endearing players in the NFL, due in large part to the fact that he is the rare skill-position player who is actually capable of scoring fat-guy touchdowns. My appreciation for Tolbert grew immensely last night, when I noticed that the big man had ap...
The (Golden) Eagle Has Landed (In Tampa)
Monken turned the program around after they went from 12-2 to 0-12 in one season. Bummer for Southern Miss....
Report: Mike McCarthy Fed Up With Packers Management Refusing To Sign Free Agents
The Packers are notoriously skittish about signing free agents. They have signed a few big names over the years—Julius Peppers, Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson—but in general, they are committed to building through the draft. This is a great policy when it works (you’ll always have a cohesive, well-...
Providence's Junior Lomomba Is Psychic, Maybe
Providence upset #4 Villanova in Philly today (without a particularly good game from future lottery pick Kris Dunn) thanks to Ben Bentil going off for 31 points. These two here weren’t exactly highlight reel material for him, but Québécois point guard Junior Lomomba used his (apparent) psychic abili...
SMU, The Last Undefeated Team In College Basketball, Goes Down
Temple took down Larry Brown’s previously undefeated Southern Methodist Mustangs 89-80 this afternoon in Philly. The game was originally scheduled to take place yesterday, but the blizzard forced it to today. Backup guard Devin Coleman was a perfect 7-for-7 from three and 8-for-8 from the field for ...

Suns, Hawks Combine For Some "Interesting" "Basketball"
The Suns beat the Hawks yesterday, but only after the two teams decided to take a break from basketball to just kind of run around like a bunch of puppies in the snow....
Novak Djokovic And A Heckler Reach An Amicable Consensus
Novak Djokovic was, by one metric, historically bad last night for a Grand Slam match winner. He held on to beat Frenchman Giles Simon 6-3, 6-7 (1), 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in the round of 16 at the Australian Open, but he committed 100 unforced errors. In a way, this is more indicative of Simon’s style (as y...
DeMarcus Cousins Cooked And Ate The Pacers Last Night
Oh hey, look at that, the Kings have won five in a row over pretty decent competition. Willie Cauley-Stein has been a perfect fit at center, and since he’s moved into the starting lineup, Sacramento is 9-3. But really, it all starts and ends with Boogie. He’s leading the NBA in scoring and reboundin...
Cops Join In Snow Football Game, Deliver Devastating Stiffarm
Much like that Gainesville cop who dunked on those kids earlier this week, these Washington D.C. cops took a little time off from policing last night as the blizzard was roaring into D.C. to play some sports. This may or may not be an attempt to ride the wave of goodwill that the Gainesville cop set...

We Can't Read Your Sign, Dickhead [UPDATE]
Here’s some Jersey shithead with an illegible sign making an ass out of himself behind the Monmouth Co. sheriff. Hey, dickhead, you’re holding a white sign in the middle of a snowstorm. Nobody can read your fuckin’ sign. If you had a brain in your skull, you’d be inside....
British Tourist Driving On Wrong Side Of Road In Spain Hospitalizes Half A Pro Cycling Team

Spanish outlet Informacion reports that John Degenkolb, Warren Barguil, Chad Haga, Fredrik Ludvigsson, Max Walscheid, and Ramon Sinkeld...
Oklahoma Is On Fire
Here’s the kind of team Oklahoma is: This afternoon, their leader Buddy Hield was struggling with foul trouble and putting forth an uncharacteristically loose performance against Baylor. The Bears were beginning to turn the corner on the Sooners, and had just tied it up at 41 with 17 minutes left. R...
U.S. Attorney Suggests Password Cardinals Used To Access Astros Scouting Database Was “Eckstein123"
Earlier this month, former Cardinals scouting director Christopher Correa plead guilty to five counts of unauthorized access to a computer for hacking the Houston Astros database. Unsealed federal documents revealed that Correa used an old password to look at confidential information, including scou...
The Duquesne Basketball Team Is Stranded On The Pennsylvania Turnpike
Blizzards spare no driver, not even Atlantic 10 college basketball team buses. The Duquesne Dukes were fresh off a win against George Mason last night, and were almost back home to Pittsburgh when they got caught in the blizzard on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The team spent all of last night on the b...

Three NHL Games, Two NBA Games Postponed By East Coast Blizzard
How are you planning on spending this snowbound evening? Hopefully you weren’t planning on watching the Wizards, Sixers (you definitely weren’t), or the Islanders play tonight. The NHL has postponed today’s Islanders—Flyers game as well as tomorrow’s Capitals—Penguins game. The Capitals game yesterd...
