Riley Cooper Was Hiding In The Endzone On The Touchdown That Was Called Back For An Illegal Forward Pass
This was quite the play. Riley Cooper took the ball 94 yards for a touchdown on a nifty cross-field lateral off a New Orleans kickoff. It would have essentially nullified a nearly six-minute, 70-yard drive and put the Eagles back within a score. Instead it was nullified as an illegal forward pass,...
Liverpool Fans Get Drenched When Faulty Sprinkler Goes Off At Halftime
"You know what would be fun? A football match," one might say to a friend. "Let's get tickets and go," a friend might respond.

Washington's Height. <em>Flight</em> Reviewed.
1. Until the last 10 minutes, Flight in large part resembles one of those tough, dark character studies they used to make in the '70s, like The Gambler or The Verdict, in which we watch a man who has lost control of his life face external circumstances that give him one last chance to save himself. ...

Arsenal Mounted A Ridiculous Comeback Against Reading Today
Arsenal came back from a 4-0 first half deficit and beat Reading in today's Capital One Cup match 7-5 in extra time.

De'Anthony Thomas's Punt Return TD Against Colorado Is Obscene
We all speculated what kind of brutality the Oregon Ducks would unleash upon the hapless Colorado Buffaloes, and early in the second quarter we learned the answer would be "obscene."

OK, Seriously, What The Hell Just Happened: The Cardinals Are Headed To The NLCS
Let's set aside the fact that the Nationals had the best record in baseball this year and the fact that the Cardinals had the worst record of any playoff team, because neither of those is the fundamental reason we ask this question: what the hell just happened? The Cardinals—the Pujols-less Cardina...
<em>Friday Night Lights</em> Creator Tells Mitt Romney To Stop Using His Slogan

Joba Chamberlain Left Tonight's Game After Getting Nailed By A Flying Bat Shard
Well, here's another odd chapter in the continuing career of Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain.

The Oakland A's Force Game 5 With An Epic, 9th-Inning Comeback Win Over Detroit

Raul Ibanez's Moonshot Home Run In The 12th Inning Wins Game 3 Of The ALDS
When Raul Ibanez was brought in to pinch-hit for Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning, it seemed humorous—until Ibanez hit the first 9th-inning, game-tying, pinch-hit home run in Yankees postseason history. But when he hit another home run, this time to win the ballgame in the bottom of the 12th, it w...
Division III Football Game Provides Reminder Not To Storm The Field Until The Game Is Actually Over
