Caron Butler's Block Takes Out Unsuspecting Ref
With first place in the West on the line, the Staples Center was as raucous as its been for a non-Lakers game in many, many, many years. (Many.) Caron Butler did his part, nearly forcing a turnover from Kevin Durant in the corner, and then sneaking in behind Serge Ibaka to land this swat block. It...
Paul MacLean Was Haunted By A Doppelgänger Last Night
Ottawa smoked the Florida Panthers 4-0 last night, but the more entertaining portion of the game was the man behind the Senators' bench who bore a striking resemblance to Ottawa coach Paul MacLean. The amusing double-shots continued for much of the game, until something tragic happened: they ejecte...
Watch Expert Troll Russell Westbrook Goaltend A Mascot's Backward, Half-Court Shot
At some point during every Nuggets home game, team mascot Rocky attempts to make a backward, half-court shot. The crowd gets into it, the scoreboard operator puts Rocky's half-court shooting percentage on the jumbotron for all to see, and Rocky hams it up on the rare occasion that he sinks one. It...

Kevin Durant Dunks All Over Marcin Gortat Because Kevin Durant Is A Cheat Code
It's really not fair that Kevin Durant can do stuff like this. His uncanny combination of size and shooting touch would be enough to carry him to a Hall of Fame career on its own. But Durant also has to possess the kind of sublime speed, strength, and leaping ability that make face-melting plays l...
The BCS Championship On Twitter: Here's When Katherine Webb Became More Interesting Than The Game
After weeks of buildup, the BCS championship game turned out to be a total dud, with Alabama stomping Notre Dame 42-14 in a game that somehow was even less close than the final score would indicate. Despite the blowout, an unlikely star emerged. No, not Eddie Lacey—Katherine Webb....
No. 1 Duke Suffers First Loss To Some Team Or Other As Nation Revels In Annual Guilty Pleasure
It's not the Yankees losing in the divisionals, nor a conference rival pantsing Alabama midseason. Nor is it quite the Lakers fizzling in May, or the Cowboys losing year after year after year after delicious year....
The Definitive List Of Actual, No-Bullshit College Football National Champions; Or, Why Alabama Is A Liar
Monday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide mercilessly clobbered Notre Dame in the BCS championship game. According to Alabama, it was the school's 15th national football title. Football has been an intercollegiate sport for 142 seasons, starting in 1869 (no one played in 1871). So that should mean that...
Watch A.J. McCarron Pretend Not To Be Freaked Out About How Famous His Girlfriend Is Now
The only thing worth noting about last night's BCS championship game was Brent Musburger's old-man boner over Katherine Webb, the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron. In the video above, you can see reporters telling McCarron that his girlfriend was the night's breakout star, and then ...

Tony La Russa's Wife Is A Huge Metalhead, Because Of Course She Is
Robb Flynn, the lead singer of the heavy metal band Machine Head, posted a story on the band's official website today that included an unexpected cameo from Elaine La Russa, wife of former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa....
Nick Saban Is The Ultimate Freakshow
Nick Saban won his third BCS title in four years last night, and given the likelihood that he'll reject the idea of sucking in the NFL one more time, he's probably going to win a lot more. He gets the best players and he trains those players better than any other coach possibly could. By the time h...
Here Is A Bunch Of People Insisting Notre Dame Would Have Won Last Night If Not For The Referees
The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated Notre Dame in last night's BCS Championship Game. This really is not debatable. Alabama beat the Irish on offense, on defense, and on special teams. They led the game 35-0 at one point. They rolled up 529 yards on a Notre Dame defense that was supposed to be among...
Here Is The Most Entertaining Moment Of Alabama's Dismantling Of Notre Dame
This game had nothing. It was dead on arrival. Maybe there were some moments—Brent Musberger salivating all over A.J. McCarron's girlfriend or McCarron getting shoved by his own center come to mind. But there was not a single entertaining moment until Nick Saban grimaced through his Gatorade bath. ...
Brent Musburger Is A Bit Too Infatuated With A.J. McCarron's Girlfriend, Katherine Webb
As often happens during boring, blowout bowl games, the cameras and commentary shifted tonight from the action on the field to the stands and Alabama QB A.J. McCarron's girlfriend Katherine Webb. Okay, sure, mention she goes to Auburn and how scandalous that is—that's normal. ESPN announcer Brent...
Your Root-For-Ebola BCS National Championship Open Thread
The last few weeks of Bowl-watching on ESPN have often felt like a commercial on the YES Network with all the promos for this game. PRIDE. TRADITION. HISTORICAL PROGRAMS. Old audio playing back: "I thank the good lord for making me an Alabaman."...
Alabama Got Pumped For Tonight's BCS Championship Game By Watching <em>Zero Dark Thirty</em>
According to ESPN's Tom Rinaldi, Alabama players and coaches spent last night watching Zero Dark Thirty, the much anticipated film about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. The movie doesn't come out until Friday, meaning that someone on the Alabama staff got their hands on an advanced copy. We're super ...
Nick Saban Reportedly Took The Dolphins Job In 2004 Because Wayne Huizenga Bought Off His Wife
Tonight, Nick Saban makes his triumphant return to Miami, where he coached the Dolphins for two largely unpleasant and unmemorable years in 2005 and 2006. Saban's clearly a good coach—he bookended his 15-17 Dolphins stint with a 48-16 record at LSU and a 62-13 record at Alabama—but he never seemed c...
