Alex Smith Was Nearly Perfect Last Night, So Jim Harbaugh Said Some More Crazy Shit

For Better Or Worse, Barry Zito Is Always There For The Giants
On October 19, Barry Zito took the mound in St. Louis, with his San Francisco Giants trailing the Cardinals three games to one in the NLCS. He was not the pitcher the Giants would have wanted, one game from elimination. Nine days earlier, in his first start of the postseason, Zito had been yanked af...
A Map Of The Most Absurd Team-Name Migrations In Sports
Two days ago the New York Islanders announced that they'd be making a short migration from Nassau County to the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Brooklyn's on Long Island so the name still makes sense (although the team might have to fix its logo), but franchises aren't always so lucky....
Why Did Jamaal Charles Get Only Five Carries? Romeo Crennel Has No Idea.
Brady Quinn beat out Matt Cassel in the saddest quarterback competition ever—and then left the game with a concussion after going 2-for-4 for a single yard. This was only the second-most Chiefs thing to happen this week. That would be the star running back getting just five carries all day, and the ...
Giants Fans, Show Us Your Celebration Pictures And Videos From Last Night
Reader Tom sent us the video you see above, and it is of what he describes as a "fucking epic" celebration that took place at The Republic in San Francisco after the final out of the World Series. We're inclined to agree with Tom's description, and now we'd like to see more videos and pictures of ...
The Carolina Panthers Lost By Calling The Exact Same Defensive Coverage Over And Over
Last week, the Giants were able to beat the Redskins by recognizing the coverage. Eli Manning knew he could hit Victor Cruz over the top because Washington, at the end of the game, was running the same schemes it had shown in the two-minute drill at the end of the first half. But even that was cutti...
Sergio Romo Struck Out Miguel Cabrera With The Ballsiest Pitch Of The World Series
When Sergio Romo sealed his team's World Series victory with a strikeout of Miguel Cabrera, it was hard not to wonder what the hell Cabrera was thinking. On a 2-2 count, he watched an 89-mph fastball sail right over the middle of the plate, his season ending with his bat on his shoulder. Wainwright ...
The Eagles Are Considering A Quarterback Change, Says Michael Vick
Usually, the clamoring for a change under center comes from fans and media, people who either don't know what they're talking about or haven't taken into account all the reasons for a team's struggles. A porous offensive line, or a defense that puts the quarterback into a position where he has to ta...
Randy McMichael Is The NFL's Most Impatient Player
Early in the fourth quarter of San Diego's eventual loss to the Browns, the Chargers offense (ineffectual for most of the day) managed to scrape together the ten yards necessary for a first down and keep a possible game-winning drive alive. The tension of the moment was too much for tight end Randy...
CSN Interviewed Matt Cain While A Urinating Ryan Theriot Looked On
Truly this year's San Francisco Giants are champions of the highest degree. This year's World Series champs, you might say, even piss excellence. [CSN Bay Area]...
The Giants Sweep The Tigers To Win The World Series
This postseason began with plenty of dramatic games and wild finishes. The World Series had not followed suit, not until tonight, anyway. At least there was finally some back and forth in this game....
Giants Shortstop Brandon Crawford Was An Adorable Little Voice Of Reason As A Child
This picture has apparently been floating around for a few weeks now, but it's news to us so maybe it's also news to you. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, this is a picture of a young Brandon Crawford with his father at a Giants game at Candlestick Park on September 27, 1992. At the time, m...
The Dallas Cowboys Sent Out A Mailer To Season-Ticket Holders Instructing Them On How To Cheer
Jerry Jones built the $1,300,000,000 Cowboys Stadium in 2009 expecting it to house champions, boost his team, and become the eighth wonder of the world. It is kind of the last one—largest domed stadium in the world, with the fourth largest HD video screen in the world hanging from the ceiling—but th...
Today's Fox Sports Ohio MLS Broadcast Featured Two Goals By The Crew, Two Bare Breasts Of A Crew Supporter [NSFW]
The final home game in many sports is considered Fan Appreciation Day, in which the players acknowledge supporters with giveaways and the like. It seems one member of the Columbus Crew Nordecke wanted to show her appreciation in a very special way—and gave the broadcasters a bit of a start. [FSO]...
