This Is Not Golden Tate, ESPN
We get that things were a bit hectic after the final decision in last night's joke of a professional sports contest. But really, ESPN? Identifying Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson as receiver Golden Tate? That's almost as bad as misidentifying an interception for a touchdown catch....

What In The World Just Happened At The End Of <em>Monday Night Football</em>?
This is the farce we've been waiting for. Packers-Seahawks ended with a worthless extra-point attempt after the scab referees initially just let both teams go back to their respective locker rooms, having awarded Seattle a game-winning touchdown as time expired. That's the play up there: a Seaha...
Well, That Was An Enormous Disaster: Seattle Beat Green Bay, In Three GIFs
Green Bay, Seattle : Aaron Rogers was sacked 9 times tonight and only a few times did he do it to himself.

(Hint: Alabama's t...

Players from the Peterborough Petes, an Ontario Hockey League team, thought it would be a good idea to sneak into a teammate's house at night while wearing masks and holding fake guns.

The Steelers' Larry Foote Told The Replacement Refs "You Should Go Kill Yourselves"
