Arkansas State's "Hide The Midget" Trick Play Worked To Perfection
Don't read, just watch the video. Even when you know trickery is coming, you're probably going to lose track of the football. Imagine how tough it was for Ball State defenders....
The Grim, Coppish Concerns And Macho Sketchiness Of Paul Lo Duca
This is part of an ongoing series in which, with the help of friends and associates, we're reviewing the merits—and relative lack of merits—of the players on this year's Hall of Fame ballot. All entries in the series can be found here....
Mike Munchak Left The Titans Rather Than Fire His Assistants
After three seasons in Nashville, all with nine or 10 losses, and 31 years with the organization, Mike Munchak parted ways with the Titans this weekend. And to hear him tell it, he fell on his sword....
Watch Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery Get Ejected After Bumping An Official
Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery chose a bad time to get ejected from the Hawkeyes' bout against fourth-ranked Wisconsin in Madison: as they held onto a two-point lead over the undefeated Badgers halfway through the second half. That lead disappeared thanks to the four free throws McCaffery afforded h...
Eagles Fan Spits On Saints Fan Moments After Losing
Saints fan Nick Scelfo was at the Linc to watch his team win on a field goal as time expired. He recorded the moments after the Eagles lost, celebrating while being surrounded by Philly fans. Most of them ignored him, but one fan near him said, "I'm gonna spit in your face," a second before followin...
Dan Snyder's Dickhead Behavior Is A Complex Thing
Skins owner Dan Snyder can be a big fucking prick, as we've documented thoroughly. Rick Maese's new article delving into Snyder's ownership does contain extraordinary anecdotes of Snyder being an asshole, but other stories—in an earnest attempt to provide balance—suggest that while Snyder does care ...
What The Hell Was This Five-Minute ESPN Infomercial For Tim Tebow?
This morning's Sunday NFL Countdown on ESPN found itself traversing very odd ground as panelist Trent Dilfer presented a package on what a great job Trent Dilfer did at making new ESPN hire Tim Tebow awesome at playing quarterback. How awesome? "Tom Brady" awesome, if you believe ESPN....
How Far Do You Have To Run For It To Count As "A Run"?
I recently read something about running the 100m dash, or some record being set, or maybe I was just looking at that Usain Bolt GIF with the dude smiling his face off because he got a fist bump—the specifics don't really matter; somehow I started thinking about sprinting, is all you need to know—and...
Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night. Despite losing Jamaal Charles, inarguably their best offensive player, to a possible concussion six plays into the game, Kansas City's offense still produced 44 points. It's a shame that the Col...
Bat Roams Around Senators-Canadiens Game
A bat made an appearance at the Bell Centre at the beginning of Saturday night's Senators-Canadiens game. It was just flapping around, without a care in the world, probably disoriented. You know how bats are....
Saints Fan Looks Like Dying Jabba The Hutt, Is Disgusting
Congratulations to Saints on their 26-24 victory. This is disgusting. ...
Shady McCoy Making Dudes Look Silly Out There
LeSean McCoy just shook David Hawthorne right out of his shoes. Good lord. ...
Chiefs-Colts Was The Classic Playoff Game We Get Every Year
It happens nearly every year and we're always surprised, but Chiefs-Colts was another insane NFL playoff game. After a close first quarter, the Chiefs jumped all over the Colts in the second quarter with 21 points and headed into the half—on an Andrew Luck interception—with a 31-10 lead. The Colts c...
Penn State's D.J. Newbill Ejected For Shoving Kendrick Nunn In Neck
Plays like this always make me think about the existence of a textbook for broadcasters. "It's always the second guy who gets caught" would be in Chapter 1, along with a section on Aikmanisms like "...and I'm not so sure they didn't do just that, Joe." Anyway, D.J. Newbill was the second guy here—...
The Saints Are Eating Popeyes Again
The Saints always seem to get a little salty when naysayers bring up the performance disparity when they play on the road. Drew Brees bristled earlier this year after a loss to Seattle when it was suggested the team was basically a guaranteed loss on the road. He had stats ready to show how it was ...
Anthony Sherman Touchdown Celebrations Are A Work In Progress
It's only, like, the second time he's ever done this though, so he's got time to work on it....
Jamaal Charles Left The Game After This Play
Jamaal Charles left the game during the Chiefs first drive of the game (a touchdown-scoring drive, regardless) after this hit/tackle. It looks like his helmet hits the ground and he clearly was slow getting up. According to the Bob Glauber he is being evaluated for a concussion and his return is lis...
