Rumor We Wish Were True But Isn't: Mark Schlereth Pisses On Towels In An ESPN Closet

The Broncos Will Sit Peyton Manning When They Need To Throw The Ball A Long Way
Broncos backup QB Brock Osweiler was getting loose on the sideline late in their loss to Atlanta. If Denver could make a defensive stand, they would have received a punt deep in their own territory with just seconds remaining. Enough left for a Hail Mary, but Hail Mary time isn't Peyton Manning time...

As If Being Arrested For DUI While Riding A Horse Weren't Bad Enough, The Cops Found His Moonshine
Lexington, Kentucky. Home to basketball, bluegrass, bourbon, and—strangely—the best Cuban sandwich I've ever eaten. It's also home to horses, some of which are people's modes of transportation. When a man found himself running afoul of Johnny Law while atop his steed, it seems that makes it a story...

Arkansas Coach John L. Smith Will Not Tolerate You Not Smiling
A bad offseason for Arkansas football has turned into a bad regular season, but at least head coach John L. Smith is still willing to have a little fun with the press corps along the way.

Paint Your Corners. Clint Eastwood's Baseball Movie, <em>Trouble With The Curve</em>, Reviewed.
1. Pretty much everything about Trouble With the Curve is a crock, but I couldn't help but like it anyway. It has a hackneyed, painfully overstructured screenplay; its motivations for its characters are stock at best and embarrassingly obvious at worst; and it knows so little about the game of baseb...

Stephen A. Smith Used To Wallpaper His Cubicle With Hate Mail
A tipster, who used to freelance for the Philadelphia Inquirer some years ago, sends us this tale:...

Malcolm Gladwell Turns Jerry Sandusky Into A Parable By Leaving Out Some Facts
This week's New Yorker brings a new retelling of the Jerry Sandusky story, this one from pop-think guru Malcolm Gladwell.

The NHL Lockout's First Casualty: Florida Has Laid Off Mascot Stanley C. Panther
A work stoppage in sports, obviously, affects more than the players and owners. It takes a ton of people to make hockey go, from referees and broadcasters to concessionaires and janitors. And it's always the little guys who are first to go when the money stops rolling in....

Santonio Holmes Played Call-Your-Own-Fouls On Sunday With The Replacement Refs
Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes did not do a very good job of getting open against Steelers corner Ike Taylor on Sunday. He had only three catches for 28 yards despite being targeted 11 times. Sometimes Holmes didn't make the catch because he was interfered with. And sometimes he didn't make th...

Last week, Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts showed the most poise out of all the rookie quarterbacks who played in Week 1, according to people who wrote about him.

Even The Mets' PR Staff Is Giving Up
Remember when the Mets were serious contenders in the NL East? Hahahahaha. That never happened. I mean, they were tied for first in early June, but then the earth kept rotating on its axis, and the next 90 or so games actually happened....

Atlanta 27, Denver 21: The Game In Two GIFs
The officiating in this game was an absolute disaster. Just brutal. It was as if Drew's column earlier today sprouted legs and was playing out on our televisions. There was a point where it really looked like things were going to boil over and shit was going to get out of hand. Shit did not get enti...

THIS GUY Is Back On Monday Night Football
If you watched any of ESPN's pre-game extravaganza you know that Jon Gruden is positively jacked up for this game. And why shouldn't he be? Peyton Manning is back on Monday Night Football! Woo! Yeah! Fist pumps all around....
