Mike Wallace Snags A TD With Damarious Randall Glued All Over Him<em></em>
This throw from Joe Flacco looks extremely ill-advised on first glance, with Green Bay’s Damarious Randall giving no space and covering Mike Wallace perfectly as he runs towards the end zone. But somehow, Flacco found a seemingly nonexistent window to fit the ball through, and Randall could do nothi...

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Bill O'Neill Wants You To Know He Has Fucked
The last time we saw Ohio Supreme Court Justice and prolific Facebook user Bill O’Neill around these parts, he was taking the “draft dodging millionaires” of the Cleveland Browns to task for kneeling during the national anthem.

Who Is The Best Two-On-Two Team In The NBA?
Ben Simmons dropped 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 10 assists last night and quietly flew under the radar. That is because Joel Embiid is a monstrous gift: His 46 points, 15 rebounds, 7 blocks and 7 assists blacked out the sun. There was a gazelle-like Euro step, a double Dream Shake, and easy pullups f...
Artem Anisimov's Third-Period Hat Trick Was Just What The Blackhawks Needed
Artem Anisimov is in his ninth season in the NHL and he has, apparently, not been thinking about this moment.

There's Carey Price Injury Drama Again
Canadiens goalie Carey Price has an overall save percentage of .877 and hasn’t looked like himself all season.

The Dumbest Motodoping Scandal Yet Has Gotten Dumber
Former professional cyclist Phil Gaimon recently wrote a book, in which he dropped an offhand comment about all-time great Fabian Cancellara and how he believed accusations that Cancellara cheated with an illegal motor in his bike during the 2010 season. That’s a fairly spicy rumor to resurface, tho...
Shot, Chaser: Morgan William And Mississippi State Are Planning Their Encore
It’s not that Mississippi State women’s basketball coach Vic Schaefer doesn’t have sufficient appreciation for The Shot. The floater that tiny Morgan William sank over the outstretched fingers of Connecticut’s Gabby Williams in last year’s NCAA Tournament gave the Bulldogs a 66-64 win, ended UConn’s...
Bills Bench Tyrod Taylor For ... Nathan Peterman?
The Buffalo Bills are 5-4 and right in the middle of the playoff race. Starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor has completed 64 percent of his passes and 10 touchdowns to go along with three interceptions.

Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts on Sunday bowled a perfect game at the World Series of Bowling, a Professional Bowlers Association tour event.

How The Saints' Defense Finally Got Its Act Together
Two games into the season, the Saints’ defense performed down to expectations: New Orleans yielded 777 passing yards and 32.5 points per game in a pair of double-digit losses.

Building A Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame Is A Lot Easier Said Than Done
In traditional competitive sports, the question of what makes a hall of famer, while fodder for heated arguments, is relatively straightforward.
