Jersey-Eating Southern Miss Helmet Attaches To Arkansas Running Back
When Arkansas running back Alex Collins was tackled after a seven-yard run, he tried getting up and discovered a whole lot of unexpected weight to pull up. That's because Ed Wilkins's helmet somehow latched on to his jersey and would not let go, connecting both players in a weird two-person horse c...

Johnny Manziel, The Puppet: Texas A&M-Alabama <em>GameDay</em> Sign Roundup
We find ourselves on yet another Saturday morning cultivating the best efforts of the (mostly) drunken, (mostly) teen-aged minds of those shirking the responsibility and honor associated with higher education for some good fuckin' times. God bless you, you animals. ...
Martin St. Louis Does Not Skip Leg Day
It's not the first time we've marveled over the 38-year-old Lightning winger's massive quads. And it won't be the last, because if we don't he'll use them to crack our heads like so many chestnuts....

Reports: Atlanta Is Up Next For An MLS Team
Local and national reports say MLS is relatively close to an agreement with Falcons owner Arthur Blank to bring an MLS expansion team to Atlanta, one of the five new franchises coming in the next seven years. The two would share the billion-dollar retractable domed stadium—aka, "The Sphincter"—that'...
Pirates Fan Trucks Kid To Get Baseball
After Darnell McDonald's ground-rule double, one of the Cubs' WGN announcers noticed the commotion in the stands out near PNC Park's North Side Notch.

Texas Tech Fan Horrified By Her Own Foul Mouth
Girl, don't sweat it. We've all been there. Sports make all of us lose our cool from time to time. Just try to remember what your mom, Judy, told you when she dropped you off at the dorms last week. Be safe, honey. And be nice!...

Has Any Coach Ever Done Less With More Than Lane Kiffin?
Watch enough football for long enough, and eventually you'll see everything.

And...

The Texans Got Old Man Ed Reed A Walker For His Birthday
Ed Reed turned 35 yesterday. His new teammates in Houston recognized the occasion by presenting him with a Hall of Fame jacket cake, but free safety Danieal Manning also gave Reed this platinum walker as a gag.

Sean Penn Would Have Been A Great Ty Cobb
It's fun to recast movies. After watching Mystic River I wished it could start again with the leads exchanging roles. Harry Dean Stanton would have made a great Billy Martin if The Bronx is Burning was made 15 years earlier. If I could have one wish it would be to see Art Carney reprise his stage pe...
Evan Gattis Can Add "Hit Fan In The Dick With A Home Run" To Legend
