Jaguars May Show RedZone Channel On Their Stadium Video Board
The Jaguars have a new logo, new uniforms, and by 2014, will have the NFL's largest video boards (once the city figures out how it'll pay for them.) But here's an intriguing idea floated by the team: using those screens to show other games....
Dear Columnists: Enough With This “Patriot Way” Bullshit
It's been a while since we did a proper fisking of a terrible piece of sportswriting. Actually, we probably did it a few hours ago, but no matter: This putrid column from ESPN's Ashley Fox deserves special recognition. Fox, whose archive reads like a First Take producer's brainstorming session, has ...
9 Out Of 10 Schools On This ESPN Map Are In The Wrong Place
As of today, the American Athletic Conference is officially a thing. ESPN has welcomed the new conference with a (since deleted) map on its college hoops Facebook page. "Map" in the loosest sense of the term....

Italy Beats Uruguay In Penalties For Third Place In Confederations Cup
Wow. That was a pretty good game, right? The Confederations Cup consolation match between Italy and Uruguay was a meaningless game in a meaningless tournament, and it wasn't supposed to do anything more than whet our appetite ahead of tonight's final between Brazil and Spain. Along the way, it turne...
OK, This Italy-Uruguay Game Is Officially Nuts
This match is insane. Uruguay trailed Italy 2-1 following a beautiful Alessandro Diamanti goal in the 73rd minute, but Edinson Cavani had the opportunity to equalize five short minutes later from another free kick. The striker did not disappoint....
Uruguay Just Conceded A Semi-Maybe-Own Goal To Italy
Italy is taking on Uruguay in the Confederations Cup third-place match, and so far, the first half has been absolutely hectic. Both sides are getting forward with some of the world's best strikers running at tired defenders, and there have been plenty of chances. So it's strange that the first goal ...

Tomorrow's Brazil-Spain Confederations Cup Final Is All About Neymar
The Confederations Cup doesn't really matter. The games are scrimmages, and tomorrow's result between Brazil and Spain will have no bearing whatsoever on the World Cup. The tournament is just a dry run to make sure Brazil's stadiums and services will be able to handle next year's influx of fans. Wha...
