Here's A Couple Soccer Fans Pretending To Hump Each Other Behind A Live Deadline Day Report On Sky Sports News
Ahh, Deadline Day. In the U.S., trade deadlines, while occasionally exciting, invite only boring coverage of executives answering telephones. Not so in the U.K., where live reports from outside the grounds of Premiership teams invite supporters and hooligans to gather 'round for the latest transfe...
Chris Culliver Was Asked Almost 100 Questions Today About His Anti-Gay-Teammate Comments

Adrian Wojnarowski's Latest Column Features A Sick Burn On John Hollinger
Adrian Wojnarowski's latest Yahoo column is a thorough think piece about what the Memphis Grizzlies' decision to trade Rudy Gay to the Toronto Raptors means for the future of NBA free agency.

Phil Mickelson Came <em>Thisclose</em> To Shooting A 59 Today
This is sort of agonizing. On the last hole of the Phoenix Open today, this birdie putt lipped out for Phil Mickelson. Had he holed it, he would have shot a 59, which is golf's answer to baseball's .400, i.e. the outer bound of human ability. Only five golfers have shot a 59 on the PGA Tour. Micke...

Matthew Barnaby Is Suing The Former Miss Buffalo To Get Back A $50,000 Engagement Ring And An SUV
Matthew Barnaby's love life just can't stay out of the penalty box.

Rick Reilly's Column About Colin Kaepernick Is The Smarmiest Story Of Super Bowl Week
The crux of Rick Reilly's latest column for ESPN.com is this: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick should take steps to foster a relationship with his birth mother because Reilly's own adopted daughter has a healthy relationship with her birth mother. No, seriously, that's Reilly's argu...
Adorable Kid Rushes The Court In The Middle Of A Game
This moment, from last night's Oklahoma-Baylor game, isn't quite as adorable as two dogs invading a soccer pitch, but it's still pretty goddamn cute. With about nine minutes left in the second half, one pint-sized Baylor fan decided that it would be a good idea to rush the court. We're not sure wh...

This Photo Of Two Male 49ers Fans Making Out Is Awesome
So, it took me a whole week to stumble upon this pic, which appeared on page 48 of last week's Sports Illustrated. It was taken during the NFC championship game at a San Francisco gay bar named—wait for it—Hi Tops. One dude in a tight T-shirt is pumping his fist, and there are some pint glasses on t...

How Nerlens Noel Won The Kentucky-Ole Miss Game With Two Fearless Blocks
Superstar freshman Nerlens Noel swatted away 12 shots during last night's Kentucky-Ole Miss game while scoring just two points on 0-2 shooting from the field and 2-8 from the free-throw line.

WCBA Finals Game Ends With Referees Being Beaten By Fans
Game 1 of the Women's Chinese Basketball Association championship was yesterday, an event not worth taking note of but for the fact that a bunch of angry fans stormed the court and tried to beat the shit out of the referees at the end of the game.
