Former 'Skins QB Expresses World's Dumbest Thought About Team's Name

Russell Westbrook And Fan Scream At Each Other
Russell Westbrook exited the game at the Staples Center Thursday night after he fractured his hand on Kendrick Perkins's elbow while fighting for a rebound.

Yordano Ventura Doesn't Seem Too Sad About Losing The World Series
Yordano Ventura pitched an exceptional game Tuesday night, holding the Giants to three hits over seven innings as the Royals won 10-0 to tie the World Series up at three games apiece. Unfortunately for Ventura, his teammates couldn't replicate his performance last night, and the Royals lost the Worl...
Concussed Cardinals Safety Couldn't Remember Game He'd Just Played
Arizona Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson had a great game on Sunday, probably the best of his young career. He had 11 tackles—the most of any player—and his team beat Philadelphia 24-20 to advanced to 6-1, tied for the best record in the NFL. It's a game he would cherish forever, except he has no mem...

Jameis Winston Throws Terrible Interception, Then Forces Fumble
Jameis Winston's a star athlete in two sports, but it looks like the reigning Heisman winner could play both ways on the gridiron, too. Here's the Seminoles QB making a truly regrettable decision, then making up for it by forcing the fumble. He's still got a two-touchdown deficit from which to dig h...
The Full Cleveland Cavaliers Intro & Starting Lineups, With Proper Audio
TNT (or, perhaps, Quicken Loans Arena) had a major audio fuckup tonight that left the Knicks' radio feed bleeding all over the Cavs' carefully-crafted fancy intro. So here's that fancy intro and starting lineups with proper audio....
Watch E-40 Watch The Giants Win The World Series
Rapper and Yay Area ambassador E-40 is a big San Francisco Giants fan, and he had some nice seats behind home plate for the World Series. Last night, he posted a video of Pablo Sandoval's series-ending out from his perspective....
Man Loses It, Destroys House After Cowboys Lose Regular-Season Game
Part of me thinks this Cowboys fan's rampage after Monday night's loss is played up, but then again, to what end? This dude destroys a LOT of shit just because his first-place team lost a regular-season game. Hell, he starts breaking stuff before the Cowboys even lose. What's wrong with this guy?...
The Rad '90s Western <em>Tombstone</em> Is Val Kilmer's Finest Hour
Since I started writing this column, I've been wondering what to do with westerns. They aren't quite action movies, but they're action-adjacent. It feels a bit ridiculous to discuss Once Upon a Time in the West in the same space I'm using for stuff like Dredd and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning....
San Francisco Brings Fire And Fistfights To World Series Celebrations
As in 2010 and 2012, Giants fans took to the streets to celebrate their World Series win, and as in 2010 and 2012, some of them burned shit and warred with cops in riot gear....
Come, Let Us Have Another Laugh At The Disastrous Lakers
So the Lakers rolled out their "actually, bad basketball is cool and good" strategy again last night in Phoenix; accordingly, they got their wheels knocked off, losing 119-99 in a game that somehow makes even that score seem deceptively close....
No, Alex Gordon Could Not Have Scored On The Misplayed Ball
Alex Gordon's ninth-inning, two-out single left Kansas City with the tying run 90 feet from home plate thanks to Gregor Blanco's colossal misplay in the outfield. Some, however, have begun the hand-wringing that maybe Gordon could have scored, had he sprinted the entire way and been sent from thir...
Jose Canseco's Fiancée: "Douche Douche Douche Douche Douche Douche"
To understand this story, you need to know three things:...
Here's An Odd Legal Journal Letter About The NFL And The Ray Rice Tapes
A couple of tipsters have pointed us to an anonymous question printed in the October issue of the New York State Bar Association Journal. Take it with a grain of salt, but correspondent "Tim Troubled" says his firm dealt with a pro sports league that sounds a lot like the NFL, and a pro athlete who ...
Florida State Just Taking A Stroll In Front Of Joe's Crab Shack
We've given Florida State its share of grief today, but it's important to remember that not all scandals are created equal. There are felonies, and there are misdemeanors (though college football coverage often swirls those two together like mixers in a glass). There are the ones that make you say, ...
This Is The Problem With Saying "Redskins" On TV
OK, so it's an ad, and as a rule we don't participate in advertising campaigns. We're making an exception here, though, because the commercial above quietly makes a good point that we made bluntly not too long ago, about the normalization of a racial slur....
How The Cavaliers' Old Court Ended Up In A High School Gym
The coliseum referenced on the basketball court above is the Richfield Coliseum, once home to the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the very same floor on which Michael Jordan dusted Craig Ehlo, and now it belongs to a high school in Virginia. ...
