Both Pilots Of The Plane In The Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Crash Should Not Have Been Allowed To Fly
Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the plane crash that killed 36 members of the Russian hockey club Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, including former NHLers Ruslan Salei, Kārlis Skrastiņš, and Pavol Demitra. Today Russian officials announced that they were charging Vadim Timofeyev, the deputy head of the ...
Someone Is Flying A "Free Sean Payton" Banner Over The Meadowlands
All eyes are on the Cowboys-Giants game tonight, and Sean Payton coached for both teams before arriving in New Orleans, so I guess East Rutherford is as logical a place as any to fly this loud banner. It's not quite Franco Harris's cardboard Paterno, but it's something. [Via Ralph Vacchiano]...
Finally, Batman Meets USC With "Bane Kiffin"
You guys! I finally saw The Dark Knight Rises this weekend, so I totally get all the memes now. Here's a series with promise: Lane Kiffin, rocking the facegear, saying Laney/Baney things. [Bane Kiffin]...
Lane Kiffin Somehow Has Too Much Integrity For The Coaches' Poll
Earlier this month, the results of the first Coaches' Poll were released. No surprises—LSU first, Alabama second, USC third. In the preseason, the poll is useless except as a talking point, and anonymous unless a coach wants to volunteer that information. Arizona's Rich Rodriguez didn't mind, admitt...
This Photo Of Team USA Sleeping On An Airplane Is The Best Thing Today
Kevin Love surreptitiously snapped this and posted it to Instagram, as Team USA flew from Barcelona to London last night. From right to left, front to back, that's LeBron James, Chris Paul, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams, Anthony Davis, and even Mike Kryzyzewski, back in business cl...
Lane Kiffin Just Can't Wait To Steal Penn State's Star Running Back
It's practically open season on Penn State's football roster, as far as other Division I coaches are concerned. As part of Monday's sanctions handed down by the NCAA, any current Penn State player can transfer without penalty, and so long as another team has a scholarship opening, then all that's ne...
This Jaguar's Workout Schedule Is Just The Best
Jacksonville DE Austen Lane tweeted out his Monday "workout schedule," and it's fucking gold. (Zones to be blasted today: abs, upper body, more abs, and arms.) But there's plenty of time for Instagram photos of abs, inspirational quotes, and tweeting about eating—which means Lane is already at an Al...
Tom Cruise Vs. Werner Herzog And Adventures In Perilous White People Tourism: It's Time For Trailer Hitch
The summer movie world is in a bit of a lull right now: Spider-Man showed up in time for July 4, Savages sneaked in just under the "Blake Lively Being Double Teamed-Themed Festivus Day" holiday wire and now everyone's slowing their roll for a couple of weeks until The Dark Knight Rises opens. Which ...
A Plush Bear Stuffed With Crap. <em>Ted</em>, Reviewed.
1. Of the myriad problems with Ted, Seth MacFarlane's flaming, masturbating fart of a comedy, the biggest one is that the teddy bear at its center is neither cute nor funny. The movie thinks he's both. For the movie's promising central joke to work—that a boy's teddy bear comes to life and then grow...
For Some Reason, You Can Fly From New York To Newark For Saturday's Devils-Rangers Game
Actually, that "some reason" is pretty obvious: free publicity for Delta, which is offering Rangers fans a free flight Saturday morning from LaGuardia to Newark Liberty International. Here's hoping no one takes them up on their stupid offer, because really, who cares about free when you have to deal...
Former Cal QB Sets Paper-Airplane World Record
Joe Ayoob succeeded Aaron Rodgers as Cal's starting quarterback in 2005. Ayoob's tenure lasted for just one season, during which he threw for nearly as many interceptions (14) as touchdowns (15), and the following year he was replaced as the Bears' starter. Turns out Ayoob has more of a paper arm. ...

If You Missed The Puppy Bowl (Or Want To Relive It) Here's Your Highlight Reel
Here's Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl (which mostly sucked this year, thanks to a Disney tie-in and no beagles) compressed to about a minute. No, there aren't any halftime show highlights featuring kittens. The real Super Bowl halftime will feature plenty of that. [Video from Animal Planet. Music is ...

Doomed Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Plane Was Banned In Europe Due To Safety Concerns
The charter plane carrying almost the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team took off in perfect weather this morning, had trouble gaining altitude, clipped a radar tower and crashed 1.5 miles from the airport. It's the exact same plane that had been banned two years ago by aviation authorities from flying...
