Judge Rejects Darren Sharper's Plea Deal As Too Lenient
It was baffling that Darren Sharper’s plea deal, for pleading guilty to drugging and raping women in four different states, amounted to just nine years of prison time. It was baffling that the NFL safety turned serial rapist could have been a free man by 2023, and it was baffling that the feds, with...
Should You Always Tell Your Partner If You Cheated?

Dean Spanos Isn't Done Crapping On Chargers Fans Just Yet
San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos has already decided to torture his fan base by keeping his team in San Diego for one more season before deciding, next January, if he will move it to L.A. for the 2017 season.

Jerod Mayo was probably not going to be a Patriot next season, at least not at his current salary. The linebacker has missed the ends of the last three seasons with injuries, and carried the team’s second biggest cap hit behind Tom Brady, and the Pats were expected to release him or demand a signifi...
Roger Goodell Made $34.1 Million In 2014
If you have a problem with Roger Goodell making more money than any football player, your problem’s not with the NFL specifically, but with executive bonus culture, and the notion that it seemingly isn’t tied to the company’s success. In which case Goodell and the owners will happily point to the fa...

No One Showed Up To That Anti-Beyoncé Rally, Which Might've Been A Prank To Begin With
A whole bunch of Twitter eggs took offense with Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime performance of “Formation,” which used imagery inspired by the Black Panthers.

Coyotes Dress Bank Manager As Emergency Goalie
There may not be a more charmingly ad hoc tradition than hockey’s emergency goaltender. If one of a team’s two goalies gets hurt or otherwise incapacitated before a game with not enough time to fly in a backup from the minors, the NHL maintains a list of potential goalies in each city—older guys wit...
Red Sox Fan Pleads With Giants Manager Bruce Bochy To Take Back Pablo Sandoval
Pablo Sandoval’s first season with the Red Sox was a horrid disaster. He accrued a career-low .292 on-base percentage, got in trouble for using Instagram in a bathroom during a game, swung at practically anything, and just couldn’t run the bases by the end of the season, forcing the team to shut him...
So How Will The Skins Screw Things Up With Kirk Cousins?
One of the weirdest things to happen this NFL season was Kirk Cousins’s transformation from bad quarterback to “Hold on, Kirk Cousins might actually be kind of good?” This should be a good thing for Washington, which could use nothing more than to have a functional quarterback fall into its lap afte...

Jason Pierre-Paul Shares X-Ray Of His Hand
Just in case you thought those images of Jason Pierre-Paul’s right hand, mangled in a fireworks accident, were just a bit of Rick Baker prosthetic magic, nope. Pierre-Paul has changed his avatar on Twitter and Instagram to the above X-ray, and you can see just how fucked up those fingers are....
Report: Panthers DE Kony Ealy Sued For Alleged Puppy Fraud
The Boerboel, a.k.a the South African Mastiff, is one of the biggest dog breeds in the world. Adults can top 200 pounds, and they were bred to guard farms and diamond mines down in South Africa. Look at this huge pup. His head’s the size of a dang Mini Cooper....
Dan Fouts Made A Dumb CTE Joke About Boomer Esiason
