The Replacement Refs Are Now Affecting Vegas Betting Lines
A ridiculous proportion of the NFL's popularity can be tied directly to gambling. So what if, when considering how replacement refs are making games skewed and unpredictable, it was Vegas and not the viewers that finally forces the league's hand in negotiating with the locked-out officials? We consi...
Paint Your Corners. Clint Eastwood's Baseball Movie, <em>Trouble With The Curve</em>, Reviewed.
1. Pretty much everything about Trouble With the Curve is a crock, but I couldn't help but like it anyway. It has a hackneyed, painfully overstructured screenplay; its motivations for its characters are stock at best and embarrassingly obvious at worst; and it knows so little about the game of baseb...
Who Was The Weird Guy Photobombing NBC's Postgame Interview With 49ers Players?
Last night, as Michele Tafoya interviewed 49ers Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree following their team's victory against the Lions, an unknown man in a hoodie popped up in the background.

Tom Brady's Cock Is Two Feet Long, Penn State Is A Cult, And Other Things We Learned From Tony Siragusa's Autobiography
Tony Siragusa may be a pain on Fox's NFL telecasts, during which producers have inexplicably tasked him with standing on the sidelines and bellowing nonsense. But the man can tell a good story. He does a lot of that in his new book, Goose: The Outrageous Life and Times of a Football Guy, which he co...

Why Did Lance Armstrong Tweet Out The Cell Phone Number Of Some Random Canadian Dude?
We've all seen it by now: Lance Armstrong's odd tweet, containing what looks to be his cell phone number. We figured it was the same old, same old—a direct message, mistakenly broadcast to the world. Annoying, in that he'd probably need to change his number, but funny for the rest of us....

The Ultimate Brian Scalabrine Highlights Are Exactly That
The NBA released a Brian Scalabrine highlights video today to commemorate the conclusion of his 11-season career.

The Lions Received An "Extra" Timeout In A Game They Won With 10 Seconds Left
With St. Louis driving into Detroit territory late in a tie game, a broken play on second down saw Rams QB Sam Bradford scramble to the right side. With Detroit down to their final timeout, Bradford smartly slid rather than run out of bounds, to keep the clock going. There was 2:38 left, so the Ra...
Chris Berman's Comb-Over Has Reached Ernie McCracken Levels
Chris Berman's much-ballyhooed turn at the mic to call a live Monday Night Football game came and went last night, and without much drama. He was better than last year's Mike & Mike experiment, at least, though his reliance on baseball terminology to call a football game was disconcerting and event...
