This Is The Carnage Of A 26-0 Prep Hockey Game
Notre Dame Academy (Wis.) played Manitowoc (Wis.) in hockey Monday. It was not even close....
Joe Flacco Says Mildly Interesting Thing
Current Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco has already thrown a career-high 14 interceptions this season. The Ravens are third in the AFC North with a 5-6 record. The offense is crap. Flacco isn't happy, and he justifiably doesn't think some bullshit Wildcat plays will help anything....
Ajax Beat Barcelona To Keep Their Champions League Hopes Alive
Netherlands side Ajax hosted Spanish giants FC Barcelona today in a must-win match to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stage alive. AC Milan, ahead of Ajax by a single point, thumped Celtic by three goals in Group H's other match today, which meant that a loss would e...
Native American Tribal Leaders Call On Redskins To Change Their Name
One of the more common defenses of the Redskins name is that it's only a small proportion of American Indians calling for the change. Short of getting the five or so million natives left on a conference call, I'm not sure how you counter that argument. But this seems worth a shot. ...
Chart: LeBron James Is Outdoing Himself
Kevin Durant is your NBA scoring leader through one month of basketball, averaging 28.6 points per game. You need a lot of opportunities on the floor to put up that many points, and the more you use possessions, the harder it is to be efficient. So is Durant the most efficient high-usage, high-scori...
The Browns Signed A Quarterback Best Known For His Trick-Shot Video
Viral videos are a double-edged sword. On one hand, a trick-shot video helped a D-III quarterback like Monmouth College's Alex Tanney gain national recognition. On the other hand, he'll have to do something pretty damn special to become something other than "the guy who made that trick-shot video. N...
Mizzou's Cheering Section Gets Kicked Out Of Two Games For Being Awful
Mizzou basketball games have long been attended by a student cheering section known as the Antlers, and it is a cheering section that is apparently full of huge dick heads.

One 49er Thinks RGIII Shouldn't Be Playing
On Sunday, NFL Network reported that Robert Griffin III asked the Redskins not to show any of his bad plays during team meetings. If there's any truth to that (and Washington said there isn't), film sessions are going to be short this week....
The Redskins Honor Navajo Code Talkers, Still Go By "Redskins"
The Washington Redskins would appreciate it if you reflect upon the noble, under-acknowledged history of the Navajo Code Talkers. These courageous, talented men developed and memorized a code based on their native language that America's enemies in World War II were unable to break. In the face of ...
Martin St. Louis Honored For 1,000 NHL Games, Scores Goal, Falls Down
Tampa Bay is honoring winger Martin St. Louis tonight on his achievement of playing in 1,000 NHL games (set last week in Los Angeles), and the Lightning captain made it an even more special night for fans by scoring his ninth goal of the season in the first period. Then he celebrated so hard he fel...
The Time This Kid Realized He Was Waving A Turkey Leg
The waving of the turkey leg — sure, cute, but we've all been there. Having only two hands can feel so limiting, so of course, you're watching Okie State piss-pound Baylor back into the MaybeNextYear.com Bowl, and everyone else starts some kind of en masse arm swing, and what option do you have but ...
Chase Cut To
The Busy Body Lounge, a strip club in Evansville, Ind., is causing controversy with a sign that promises a free blow job with each dance. Which is exactly the idea. (To create controversy, not to promise sex with a lapdance. Although that's also the idea.)...
Former NHL Players Sue League Over Concussions
Three months after the NFL settled its own suit for $765 million, 10 retired hockey players have filed a class-action lawsuit against the NHL. They claim the league didn't do enough to protect them from brain trauma. This is most likely only the beginning....
Chart: A Week In The Insane Life Of An NFL Head Coach
Over on ESPN, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was kind enough to provide a schedule of his work week leading up to Baltimore's game at Chicago on Nov. 17 (the story will appear in the Dec. 9 edition of ESPN The Magazine). It's not an easy job—Harbaugh spends about 69 hours a week in meetings (or mee...

Would You Do It Again? We Ask Former NFLer Rich Strenger
This is an interview series in which we ask the plaintiffs of the NFL concussion lawsuit one question (and maybe a few more): Knowing what you know now, if you could do it over again, would you still play football?...
Kobe Bryant Signs Two-Year Extension, Will Be NBA's Highest-Paid Player
It looks like Kobe Bryant is going to be a Laker for life. Making a move that nobody was really expecting, the Lakers just announced that they have signed Bryant to a two-year extension, and he didn't come cheap....
