Chart: Which MLB Fans Suck At Supporting Winning Teams?

Jon Lester Vs. James Shields Is An Argument For The Second Wild Card

That's because we will get to watch two great pitchers—James Shields of the Kansas City Royals and Jon Lester of the Oakland A's—start the precise game that they were acquir...
Chiefs Fan Celebrates By Faux-Face-Fucking Nearby Patriots Fan
As the Chiefs drubbed the Patriots last night, Grant Hinkle, a poker player and Kansas City fan, rubbed it in the face of a Pats fan sitting next to him. He had a series of celebrations planned out....
Andy Reid: "When You Go To Mecca, You Should Be Able To Slide Wherever"
Let's put to rest any lingering doubt about Husain Abdullah's intentions when he went to his knees and touched the crown of his helmet to the grass. Like every defensive back, Abdullah had thought long and hard about what he'd do if and when he scored....
Chiefs Safety Husain Abdullah Flagged For Muslim-Prayer TD Celebration
Kansas City Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct Monday night when he went to his knees in prayer to celebrate a Tom Brady pick-six. Abdullah—a devout Muslim who sat out the 2012-13 season to make Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca—shouldn't have been penalized....
Paul Konerko Leaves Final White Sox Game To A Standing Ovation

Razorbacks Punter Shows SEC Speed In Scoring On Fake Punt

The Kansas City Royals Are In The Playoffs For The First Time Since 1985
The Kansas City Royals are going to the playoffs! We'll ignore for now that they've only earned a spot in the Wild Card play-in and that the Tigers lead the division by a game. Either way, the Royals will be playing more than 162 games for the first time since Ronald Reagan was president....
Officials Botch Blocked Punt In UTEP-KSU, Spend 12 Minutes Not Fixing
This is one of the more bizarre plays you'll see today. Kansas State blocked its second UTEP punt of the first quarter, only to see the entire play called back due to an inadvertent whistle. And it took 12 minutes—12 minutes!—for officials to realize and then verify that they screwed up....
Mike Moustakas Catches Woman's Face Instead Of Foul Ball
One of the best things about baseball is that fans sit precisely zero feet away from the field. It's not great because fans get to watch the action from up close (though that's pretty cool too), but because fans get to be part of the action. That's what happened to this poor Indians fan in Wednesday...

Angry Baby Royals Fan Mean-Mugs Tigers Fan, Gives Her The Finger
Fans were really out of control this weekend. Brawls all over the place, and this mean-ass was being a jerk to this lady. Our tipster says he's a Royals fan, and he's unhappy with the Tigers fan back there. The Royals lost two of three to the Tigers at home this weekend, though, so you can suck it, ...
Furiously Double-Fisting Royals Fan Is A Damned National Hero
This Royals fan couldn't gulp Bud Light fast enough in the ninth inning of Kansas City's eventual loss to the Tigers, and we're not sure where he needed to be but apparently he needed to be drunk before he got there. Or maybe just slightly buzzed, given his choice of alcohol....

If you think you bought Royals playoff tickets today in anticipation of K.C.'s likely berth, you should probably check again. This sounds ominous:...
Arkansas State Player Pretends To Die On Fake Punt, For Some Reason
This happened during Saturday's game between Arkansas State and Miami. I know nothing else about why it happened or who is responsible for it happening, but I feel it's better that way. Let's not worry about details, and instead just enjoy this GIF, courtesy of our friends at Vice Sports....
Royals Win On Wild Sprint-Off
Jarrod Dyson is fond of the maxim, "that's what speed do," which is an easy thing to say when you're as fast as Jarrod Dyson. But last night's thrilling come-from-behind win, in which two pinch-runners had their ways with the basepaths? That's what speed do....
