This Stephen Curry Bounce Pass Is Just Vicious

New Orleans Welcomes The Super Bowl With A "Roger Goodell Being Eaten By A Giant Vagina" Float
The Krewe du Vieux is one of the first parades on the Carnival calendar, and surely the most explicit. The Times-Picayune says it "aims for eyebrow-raising, low-brow amusement and often hits the mark with its rude designs and naughty details." But topicality is important, and with Roger Goodell comi...

A Young Bruins Fan Found Something Questionable In His Food
As part of the Bruins' "sorry about the lockout" apology tour (and Jeremy Jacobs being personally responsible for making it so long and acrimonious), fans are getting free food. Lots of free food!

The NFC Is Running Low On Pro Bowl Quarterbacks
Matt Ryan hurt his shoulder when he was pancaked to the turf by Ahmad Brooks with 1:55 remaining. It looked ugly, and Ryan got up slowly. It was his left, non-throwing shoulder, but his next two passes were incomplete. When Atlanta recovered the ball with time left for one play, Ryan's "hail mary" o...
Michael Phelps Wouldn't Have Competed In The 2012 Olympics If Not For Ray Lewis
OK, before we go any further, we have to address Michael Phelps's new look. Apparently, Phelps has been hanging out in a lot of coffee shops and going to a lot of Japandroids concerts since the summer Olympics. Or perhaps he's just a really big fan of that crazy guy who used to edit Gawker....
The Union Wants Bud Selig To Force The Marlins To Spend More Money
Here's the projected payroll for the 2013 Miami Marlins. After a fire sale that began with trading star shortstop Hanley Ramirez and ended with trading star shortstop Jose Reyes (and everyone else), this isn't a rebuilding year. It's austerity straight from Christine Lagarde's desk....
Some Poor Bastard Bought 10,000 Lance Armstrong DVDs, And They're Now Worthless
We're a few years away from Lance Armstrong being sued to destitution, and signing bike locks with "I'm sorry I injected EPO," Ă la Pete Rose. But there was a time when Armstrong was a conquering hero, and everything he touched turned to gold. Hell, even last summer, before he copped to rampant PED ...

It's been a race in the Jets front office to deflect blame for Tim Tebow's signing, season-long benching, and the entire circus. First onto Tebow himself, with anonymous Jets sources saying Tebow refused to be used in Wildcat packages. Then coach Rex Ryan made it known it was strictly a football mov...

Shannon Sharpe Actually Makes Sense Talking About Bill Belichick's Refusal To Do Post-Game Interview
Following his team's loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, Bill Belichick declined an on-field post-game interview with CBS's Steve Tasker. It was a childish move, but not necessarily a surprising one. On the the CBS post-game show in studio, Shannon Sharpe actually had som...

Hat tip to ol' Diamond Joe on this one, from the NFC Championship Game postgame show today on KTTV, L.A.'s Fox affiliate.

Robot Football Coach Nick Saban Graces Georgia High School With His Presence, High School Explodes With Sheer Joy
It's getting obvious that it doesn't make much such to mindlessly venerate college football coaches—they're not gods, and when they're treated as such, they often start to believe that standards of human decency don't apply to them. That's why, when Nick Saban made a recruiting visit to an Georgia-a...
Celebrating Goalkeeper Hops Around On Ass

The NBAPA's board recently commissioned a independent review of the record of noted nepotism-abuser Billy Hunter, who has been union head for 16 years.
