UFC Card Features Gruesome Exploding Ear, Dude Maybe Shitting Himself
Leslie Smith fought on the prelims of tonight's UFC card in Mexico, and she is inhumanly tough. After a shot from contender Jessica Eye came damn close to entirely shearing her ear off, referee Herb Dean immediately called in the ringside doctors, who called the fight off only to be met with vigorou...
The University Of Florida Paid Stephen A. Smith $26,500 To Speak
Stephen A. Smith spoke at the University of Florida last night and his words didn't come cheap. The ESPN shouter agreed to be paid $26,500 for 45 minutes of speaking, 15 minutes of questions and answers, and a "reception for student leaders," according to his contract with the university. ...
J.R. Smith Ends Game With A Very J.R. Smith Shot
The Knicks lost 97-95 to the Orlando Magic last night, and this here was the final play of the game. I'm not going to assume that this isn't the play Derek Fisher drew up, but Carmelo Anthony's frantic calling for the ball would seem to indicate that J.R. pulling up from three was not exactly what...
Taylor Swift And Amar'e Stoudemire Are Buddies(?)
Pop star and New York institution Taylor Swift, who moved to New York in April, is a big fan of the New York Knicks. She is a fan despite the fact that the Knicks are a garbage-ass basketball team, but as Swift told Time.com, her love of them is not entirely without merit:...
The Crazy Kobe Trade Ideas Season Is Now Open
One of the many joys of a high-profile NBA team collapsing is when the desperate homers and old-fart national columnists who, weirdly, don't pay any actual attention to the NBA begin wildly overestimating what the team could get back by trading away its bad players. Hey, the Knicks are in the toile...
Steelers Try To Wreck Jets' Victory Formation
Greg Schiano took some shit awhile back for instructing his team to try and blow up a victory formation, and the Steelers took their own crack at it today when when Mike Mitchell came over the top to try and get the ball back with Pittsburgh down only a touchdown. It's just another example of the ri...
Mediocre Power Forwards Are Beefing Because Josh Smith Can't Shoot
The Denver Nuggets beat the Detroit Pistons 89-79 Wednesday night, behind Kenneth Faried's 22 points and 17 rebounds in a hyper-efficient 28 minutes. But after the game, he mostly wanted to talk about why the Pistons lost the game. Specifically, because of Josh Smith:...
Geno Smith's First Quarter Performance, In One Vine
Jets quarterback Geno Smith got yanked after a first quarter performance for the ages. If you missed his spectacular display of passing, we made a Vine for you:...
Frank Caliendo Has A Spot-On Stephen A. Smith Impersonation
Frank Caliendo was on that ESPN radio show with the two Mikes, and broke out his Stephen A. Smith impersonation, "Stephen B. Smith." The unnecessarily wordy sentences, the name-dropping—it's perfect....
Reports: Aldon Smith's Suspension Could Be Terminated Shortly
Aldon Smith was suspended nine games by the NFL in August, after he was sentenced on weapons and DUI charges. But according to a report from Mike Florio and confirmed by Chris Mortensen, the NFL is considering reducing that suspension by one or two games. Since Smith has already sat out seven game...
Ex-NFL Wives: We Felt Pressure To Keep Quiet About Domestic Violence
Two former NFL wives talked to the Washington Post about why they stayed in abusive relationships, and both describe in the story published Friday how the league, the union, coaches, and even cops encouraged them to stay silent. They say not to expect the newfound focus on domestic violence to make ...
Nolan Smith Throws Towel While Walking To Bench, Infuriates Coach
Former Trail Blazers pick Nolan Smith was pissed when he was subbed out of Galatasaray Liv Hospital's game against Banvit. He threw a towel in the direction of head coach Ergin Ataman, and Ataman immediately confronted him....
Texas Tech's Midnight Madness Featured Tubby Smith Wrecking A Motorcycle
This is some kind of Shaft routine starring Texas Tech head coach Tubby Smith riding a motorcycle. Much like the average Red Raiders basketball performance, it features a laying-down....
Geno Smith Crushes Woman On Patriots Sideline
She probably found the hit slightly less surprising than the fact this is a competitive football game....
Official Jets Hype Video Features Climactic Typo
The New York Jets suck, but that didn't prevent them from putting together a neat little hype video in advance of tonight's game against the New England Patriots. The video was posted on the team's Facebook page, and it features all kinds of slick editing and Inception noises and hot guitar licks. I...
Great Moments In Barf History
I barfed last night. To be more precise, I barfed in five different locations. The first two were test barfs. I was at this Japanese barbecue joint with some friends—the kind of place where you can get skewers of meatballs and chicken parts grilled on a hibachi for two bucks each, and wash them a...
Goalkeeper Tries To Rearrange Ref's Face With Haymaker
Romeo Mitrović, of the Bosnian second division side Bratstvo Gračanica, does not like refs. He doesn't like their cards, he doesn't like their attitude, and he especially doesn't like their faces. Which is apparently why he tried to split one ref's wig after being shown a yellow....
Endurance Is Booming, But Has Leadville Trail 100 Gone Too Far?
Harrison Avenue in Leadville, Colo., is as quirky and canted and laid-back as any mountain town main drag. The commerce here is of the kitschy variety you find in ex-boom towns—antique stores, gem shops, ice cream parlors—except for an August weekend every year when the intersection of Harrison and ...
Michael Vick Admits To Slacking, Should Have Just Lied
Jets backup quarterback Michael Vick did a dumb thing this week when he kinda-sorta admitted that he wasn't all that prepared to play in the second half of the Jets' 31-0 loss to the Chargers on Sunday because he didn't take his weekly scout team reps seriously enough....
