Beer Is Better Outside (Especially This One)
Yesterday’s Drunkspin celebrated June’s arrival by blabbing about beach beer, which was fun until the whole thing turned out to be a dirty damn tease.

The Arkansas Bench Threw A Shoe Onto The Court In The Middle Of Play

Arkansas Bro Tries To Catch Home Run Ball In His Visor

Oklahoma Tops Kansas On Last Second, High-Flying Tip-In
Kansas already clinched their 11th straight Big 12 regular season title, but they could've done without this gut punch from Oklahoma on the final day of the regular season.

Travis Kelce Loses Rodeo Dance Contest To Fan Nicknamed "Skim Milk"
Okay, let's get one thing out of the way here: Travis Kelce got jobbed by whoever was responsible for picking his song. You can't ask a showman like Kelce to participate in a dance contest and then hit him with "It's Not Unusual." Having said all that, even if the DJ had dropped "Booty Work" or "Dro...

Bill Self Gets Crushed By Court-Stormers, Is Not Pleased
Unranked Kansas State knocked off the in-state rival Jayhawks at home last night, and that means it was time for a good old-fashioned court stormin'. Unfortunately for Kansas head coach Bill Self, the students who ran onto the court weren't too concerned with his well-being....

It Took Four Days For Alex Smith To Find Out He Had A Lacerated Spleen

Somehow, Chiefs WRs Still Haven't Caught Any Touchdowns
It is one of the most bizarre streaks I can recall, and 60 minutes away from a piece of pointless, fascinating history, and if your team is already out of it, you could do worse this Sunday than tuning into Chargers-Chiefs to see if Kansas City can complete its entire season without having one of ...

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is really good, was caught making a wanking motion during last night's game against the Broncos.
