Arkansas Recruit Can't Commit Because His Mother Ran Off With His Letter Of Intent
Alex Collins, one of the top RB prospects in the nation, was going to Arkansas. He said as much Monday night, making as official an announcement as one can make before National Signing Day. Well, today's signing day, and Collins was not in attendance at the ceremony—a placard with his name was set u...

Last night, Newtown High's Mike Daubert hit a game-winning three-point jump shot at the buzzer to give his team a 57-55 victory over New Milford. You will watch this and you will feel good....
Kobe Doin' Young Kobe
This was the moment at the Barclays Center last night that the entire upper deck—populated by significantly more Lakers than Nets fans, already—erupted in united awe. My friend leaned into a stranger, hand on his head, and the guy next to me yelled out the universal cry that stands for holy-shit-d...
Danilo Gallinari's Circus Shot Sealed A Crazy Nuggets Win
Oh you know, just your standard fast-break, flip-the-ball-behind-your-head-from-below-your-hip-while-getting-fouled layup that hits every part of the rim before gently falling through the net. Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari somehow managed to pull off this shot in the final minute of last night'...
Liverpool Could Score Only Once Against A Goalkeeper Trying To Give Up Goals
When Europol announced it had found evidence of 680 matches that might have been fixed by gamblers, investigators teased us with the good stuff. Champions League ties were among the questionable matches, including at least one in England. It took about a day for it to come out, and while the English...
Look At This Pathetic Baby's Terrible Shooting Form
This video has been making its way around the internet today, and everybody who watches it is like, "Awwww look at that precious little baby throwing balls into his little baby-sized basketball hoop. What a cute, talented baby that is!" Even those saps at Gawker got in on the act....
The Jaguars Have A New Logo
When you're looking to turn around the perception and fortune of a moribund franchise, what's the first thing you have to do? Draft Blaine Gabbert. Sign Tim Tebow. Get a new logo. Obviously. The Jaguars released the logo today, the fine Panthera onca head you see above....
J.R. Smith Airballs A Free Throw, Crashes A Children's Basketball Game
Knicks guard J.R. Smith is a career 74 percent free-throw shooter, and his nickname is "J.R. Swish." So, he's not the player you would expect to airball a free throw, and yet that's exactly what Smith did during the second quarter last night's Pistons-Knicks game. Everyone found the moment to be r...
Your CBS Announcing Crew Stalling For Time While The Power Is Out Open Thread
The lights are out in the Superdome, and it's a studio analyst's worst nightmare. The sheer dread in Steve Tasker's visage when he updated the audience on the amount of time it will take for the lights to fully come back on—20 minutes, and that was 10 minutes into this—was gut-wrenching. Twenty more...
Here's The All-22 Footage Of That Mind-Boggling Fake Field Goal
Baltimore has three less points than it otherwise would right now because John Harbaugh got greedy (or went briefly insane) and tried this fake field goal run for a first down on 4th and 9. It would have been a 32-yard attempt for a kicker that made 30 of 33 field goal attempts this season and at...

Yesterday's Ohio Valley Conference Games Gave Us An Early Contender For Dunk Of The Year
That's Marcus Lewis of the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, ruthlessly and acrobatically throwing it down against Southeastern Missouri State yesterday during an Ohio Valley conference game. Lewis, a junior, only transferred into Division I this year and only has 140 points total in the Colonels' 23 gam...
Boston Is Really Bummed Out About The Super Bowl
This is almost too good to be true. It's taken only a handful of years for Title Town to completely revert back to the blubbering, blundering, sad-sack Boston we all know and love. It has been eight years since the Patriots won a Super Bowl. Eight! That is almost an entire decade of complete and tot...
Caltech Baseball Gets Off The Decade-Long Schneid
The Caltech men's baseball team got back to business yesterday. A business all Caltech athletics, it would seem, has some experience with: snapping incredibly long and depressing losing streaks while simultaneously and not effectively (at all) flaunting the NCAA's eligibility rules. Not two years ag...
A British Soccer Player Left A Contract Negotiation To Get A Snack And Signed With A Different Team While He Was Gone
Unlike Tommy Tuberville, who left a meal and screwed over his recruits by signing with another organization, DJ Campbell left a contract negotiation for a meal and screwed over his bosses by a signing with another organization. Even shrewder and, considering who he was pissing off, ballsier too. Cam...
How To Watch Football On Television, According To 1964
Spend enough time on sports boards and you start to absorb a multimedia shorthand. Someone asks why Raul Ibañez is a defensive liability, and you automatically post an animated gif of his laser-like throw from the outfield right into the dirt eight feet in front of him. Someone wonders why people di...
Mark Grace Gets Jail Time For All Those DUIs He's Been Collecting
Former MLB first baseman and Diamondbacks color commentator Mark Grace is going to jail because he can't stop driving around Arizona while drunk.

The Blazers And Mavericks Scored 11 Points In A Thrilling Final 30 Seconds
The Trail Blazers seem to have some magic about them this season.
