Jermaine Jones Gets Red Card, Attacks Referee
Jermaine Jones, German-born USMNTer currently in MLS to get some checks and play whatever position he wants, has a history of getting heated and falling ass first into some stupid red cards. Back at Schalke, he got suspended for two months for stomping on Marco Reus’s foot....
Junior College Game Suspended Before Halftime Due To "Violent Ejections"
East Mississippi Community College, which just a few weeks ago found itself involved in an incident where a referee got ejected, did not even make it to halftime in its game against Mississippi Delta Community College before the game was canceled due to a massive onfield brawl....
Manchester United Are (Sort Of) For Real, Apparently
By losing to a surprisingly rampant Arsenal in their previous league game before the international break, Manchester United more or less confirmed our sneaking suspicions about this team’s place in the EPL hierarchy. Their spot in the table may make them technically contenders but there still remain...
Keegan-Michael Key Dresses Up As James Franklin, Surprises Penn State Football Team
Penn State alumnus and comedian Keegan-Michael Key returned to campus for homecoming week, and he pretended to be head coach James Franklin for the football team’s meeting. The players loved it, particularly when Key imitated Franklin’s handshake....
Alexis Sánchez And Mesut Özil Are Better Than Everyone
It’s telling that, as impressive as the sheer all-encompassing nature of Arsenal’s domination of Manchester United this weekend, what was even more stunning was the shock of it all....
Now It's Manchester United's Turn To Embarrass England With Some God-Awful Defending
I’m almost at a loss for words. Again, an English team meets a Champions League foe they should really be beating, and again they go down thanks to some horrendous defending....
Nation Demands Pro-Jonathan Papelbon Takes; Fox Sports Provides Them
The trouble with a story like yesterday’s Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon fight in the Nationals dugout is that it does not contain much—any—ambiguity. It is unambiguously wonderful, that oh-God-this-is-so-fucking-stupid kind of wonderful, and also Jonathan Papelbon unambiguously is a belligerent too...
Rugby Man Trucks, Dazes Fellow Rugby Man
Samoa once again retained its dominant form against the U.S. with a 25-16 win Sunday at the Rugby World Cup, but it wasn’t on account of the Americans coming out slow. Here’s Thretton Palamo absolutely leveling Samoa’s Rey Lee-Lo with a forearm to the face, one that left Lee-Lo dazed. (Perhaps the U...
Hulk Kick Ball Hard
You’d think by this point soccer balls would know better than to make Hulk mad but apparently not. Oh well, their loss is our gain....
God Smites The Manchesters Because England Sucks
England, man. Their clubs spend all that money on some of the best players in the world, get all that media hype about being the best league in the world, and right as you start to buy into it all they meet a couple underdogs from Europe and prove yet again that England isn’t as good as it’s made ou...

Man Utd's Luke Shaw Suffers Gruesome, Leg-Breaking Tackle [WARNING: GRAPHIC]
Manchester United full back Luke Shaw had to be carted off the pitch in the first half of their Champions League match against PSV, on a count of a busted leg thanks to the tackle you can see below. Here’s a GIF of Shaw’s flopping leg, which, you’ve been warned, is pretty gnarly:...
David De Gea Wanted Out Of Manchester, So Why The Hell Did He Just Sign A New Contract?
After all of that—after years of speculation and covert contacts and backroom handshake deals and the biggest deadline-day debacle in recent memory—David De Gea has signed a new longterm contract with Manchester United....
Penn State Has Already Reached The Symbolic Burials Portion Of The Season
I’m all for football teams carrying out batshit rituals that are meant to exorcise bad vibes, but I feel like going to the Let’s Meaningfully Bury Some Shit well just one week into the season is a little much. Penn State would disagree:...
Manchester United Don't Know Who They Are
It’s tough to make sense of the freighter plane full of cash Manchester United dispatched to Monaco on deadline day, seemingly out of the blue (but not spurred by panic! they are certainly not panicking!), in exchange for relatively little-known French forward prospect Anthony Martial. It would be e...
Is This Bad? (It's Bad.)
The U.S. is losing to Peru at halftime in a friendly at RFK, which is not a good thing. This shot, though, is a worse thing. ...
The Botched David de Gea Transfer Was A Glorious Clusterfuck
Transfer deadline day is always liable to turn up a couple shockers, either in completed deals from out of nowhere or transfers that appear imminent only to collapse right before the crossing of the final T. Real Madrid’s failed attempted to buy David de Gea from Manchester United is one of the latt...
Little Kid's Mind Blown Upon Realizing He's Standing Next To Wayne Rooney
“Doot-da-doo, just waiting to go out on the pitch with Ashley Williams. Man, this is pretty cool. Oops, ref coming through I better get out of the—wait a minute... is that... HOLY SCHNIKES!!!!” Here’s a Vine of lil dude’s happiest moment in life:...
Chicharito Had A Couple Of Brutal Misses Today
Manchester United hammered Club Brugge 4-0 in Bruges today to advance to the Champions League group stage. Wayne Rooney emphatically ended his goal drought with a hat trick, and United are assured the massive revenue from at least six more Champions League matches. Practically the only Red Devil to ...
Manchester United Still Don't Realize They're Not Manchester United Anymore
It’s kind of cute, if in a sad sort of way. Manchester United, once the biggest name in the game, chasing after superstars in the press like a giddy child racing after lightning bugs in the night, hoping to nab one or two like the big clubs can but knowing deep down that it won’t actually happen....
