Sweet ESPN Martial Arts Broadcast A Throwback To Network's Early Days
If you're old enough to remember any of the 80's, you know that ESPN wasn't always the home to 24-hour jabbering analysts and NFL talk shows. In its more fledgling days, the WWL aired whatever content to which it could obtain rights; thus, Americans were introduced to wacky hat-wearing and fingerg...

New Glarus Spotted Cow: Overrated Beer From An Underrated State
Wisconsin is a really cool state, and I swear I'm not being a condescending Northeast elitist about it. This isn't like when some loathsome New York City resident praises Chicago as a "nice little town." I don't mean "Wisconsin is really cool, for an upper Midwestern state that Prince isn't from,"...

This Is The Strangest Kickoff You Will Ever See
Last week's high school football battle between DeSoto County and Bayshore High in Bradenton, Fla., featured a kickoff taken from the receiving team's own 15-yard line. If that sounds ridiculous, just watch the video, which comes to us courtesy WWSB in Sarasota....

NHL, Roku Team Up To Screw Masses
The NHL is proudly touting the upgrades made to its NHL GameCenter LIVE package, which now features exclusive camera angles and all sorts of other toys for hockey fans willing to pony up the $159 that buys an all-inclusive (out-of-market) package. That's assuming you have a device that will play it,...

Michael Vick Admits To Slacking, Should Have Just Lied
Jets backup quarterback Michael Vick did a dumb thing this week when he kinda-sorta admitted that he wasn't all that prepared to play in the second half of the Jets' 31-0 loss to the Chargers on Sunday because he didn't take his weekly scout team reps seriously enough....

High School Play Features Some Of The Worst Tackling You'll Ever See
This brief highlight is ostensibly supposed to show us what a talented high school wide receiver Angelo Wiggins is, and I suppose it does that, but what it really teaches us is that high school football players can't tackle for shit....

Texas News Station Tweets Photos Of Some Big Ol' Dicks [NSFW]

Tommy Wingels Pantses Jonathan Quick to Score
Hockey is finally back, and the most enticing match-up on the opening night of the season was San Jose at Los Angeles. But instead of letting the Kings celebrate on the night of their Stanley Cup banner ceremony, Sharks forward Tommy Wingels is out here making them look like fools. ...

Colin Cowherd Is Right. African-Americans <em>Really</em> Don't Watch Hockey.
Colin Cowherd is a flaccid penis shaft of a man with a syphilitic soul who is paid handsomely by ESPN to spew racist and sexist and otherwise trash opinions over TV, radio, and the internet on a daily basis. That's why it was so surprising that when he talked about black people today, he was right! ...

The most noteworthy part of his te...

Flying Dog Raging Bitch: An Offensive Beer In Three Different Ways
The inaugural Drunkspin Daily, a review of Stone Arrogant Bastard, addressed the problem of bad beer names. Too many of them rely on awful puns, weed references, or inside jokes that make it difficult for the consumer to remember which beer's which. Is the unfiltered wheat ale the one named after th...

There's Nothing Wrong With The Dodgers Spending A Lot Of Money
Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal has a column up today that rightly marvels at the St. Louis Cardinals' ability to consistently win in the postseason. Things take a weird turn, though, when Rosenthal starts referring to the Los Angeles Dodgers as the "Dollars."...

Cardinals Beat Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw On Three-Run Homer
The crucial talking point preceding Game 4 between the Dodgers and Cardinals was "sample size." That mainly had to do with Dodgers manager Don Mattingly's decision to bench Yasiel Puig and start Andre Ethier in the outfield instead because of Puig's struggles in the first three games of the series. ...
