Rams Legend Eric Dickerson Says Team Banned Him From Sidelines Over Criticism
Eric Dickerson is one of the most iconic players in Los Angeles Rams franchise history. He set the single-season record for rushing yards (which still stands) in 1984 and led the NFL in rushing three times in his four full seasons with the team. Dickerson advocated for the Rams to move back to Calif...
What If Jeff Fisher Is Just An Expert Troll?
The thought of Jeff Fisher evokes the phrase “experienced mediocrity.” He shuffles along with the Rams, underachieving here and there, while carrying a lengthy, but not necessarily good, résumé as a shield to protect his job. Based on what Fisher did Sunday, though, I’m starting to wonder whether he...
Houston Is Destroying Fifth-Ranked Louisville Thanks To Some Insane Plays
Louisville came into this evening’s game with Houston with a decent chance of making the playoff. Even if Alabama and Clemson win out, all they had to do was win out and inevitably leapfrog the loser of the Ohio State-Michigan game. Instead, they are in the process of getting turned into jelly by th...
Louisville May Have Committed Espionage To Beat Wake Forest<em></em>
Louisville beat Wake Forest 44-12 this past Saturday, though it was a classic “closer than the score appears” game. Wake was winning 12-0 at one point, and went into the fourth quarter up 12-10 before Louisville blithely stepped on the gas. Nonetheless, it would have been a mere footnote of a game i...

Rick Pitino Denies Responsibility For Louisville Prostitution Scandal, Once Again Invokes 9/11
Last year, a book written by a self-described madam detailed allegations that the Louisville basketball program provided strippers for team parties within the dorms, and that some of the strippers were paid to have sex with athletes, as a means of attracting recruits. Former graduate assistant Andre...
10 Years Ago Today, Carlos Beltran Didn't Swing
It’s got to be the single most famous baseball play in which a hitter didn’t take the bat off his shoulder. Oct. 19, 2006, bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, the Cardinals clinging to a two-run lead in Game 7 of the NLCS, and the Mets’ most feared hitter at the plate. Baseball drama doesn’...
Chicago Blackhawks Kick Their Season Off With Boneheaded Own Goal
The Blackhawks were always going to lose here. Down two goals with fewer than 30 seconds left in the game usually means certain death. You don’t have to make it any worse by casually scooting the puck into your own net, my dudes....

Despite winning 86 games, the St. Louis Cardinals will not play in the MLB postseason this year. It’s the first time the club has missed the playoffs since 2010.

Lamar Jackson Got Choked, Lost, And Still Had An Amazing Game
Deshaun Watson and the Clemson Tigers beat Louisville 42-36 Saturday night, but Cardinals QB Lamar Jackson drew the most attention. Determining a Heisman winner this early into the season is foolish, so I won’t, but even the “bad” version of Jackson was fantastic....

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds tonight, as Yadier Molina doubled in Matt Carpenter to give the team a critical 4-3 win, keeping them right in the thick of the N.L. Wild Card race. Thing is, Molina’s walk-off hit might have been a ground rule double, which would have left the game t...
