The Big Buck Hunter Is The Hunted: Stalking The Chance To Play For The Video-Deer-Shooting Championship
The hunting grounds in Big Buck Hunter, the deer-shooting arcade game, are not limited to the inside of a machine. Not for a player like Andy Lin. Lin—a fashion photographer with long, dangling hair, a wispy goatee, and a talent for advanced breathing techniques—will be competing in the national Big...
A Thursday Blowout Offered The Quintessential Jaguars Gif

Profane Rant By D-III Christian College's Golf Coach Is A Thing To Behold
You could forward through the first 1:55 of this clip to get to the yelling and the screaming and the oh-so-many bad words. You could. But you shouldn't, because the buildup is what makes the explosion so great. Calm, helpful strategy gives way to praise for the one player who shot a decent round,...
Kobe's Not Mad At Mike Brown Or His New Offense. He's Mad At The Guys Who Can't Run It.
Things are not well in Lakerland. They're 1-4, last in the Pacific, and toward the end of last night's loss to Utah, Kobe Bryant gave coach Mike Brown what can only be described as the look. Kobe doesn't hide it when he's angry....
Other Than That, How Was The Movie? <em>Lincoln</em>, Reviewed.
1.

The Poor Detroit Pistons Are Currently The Most Depressing Team In The NBA

Jeff Kent Departs <em>Survivor</em> With One Final Rant: "I'm A Game 7 World Series Loser"
The last time we checked in with budding reality TV star Jeff Kent, he was kicking off his appearance on this season of Survivor in a truly inauspicious manner.

"Just A Hunch": To Win What Might Have Been His Biggest Game, Darrell Royal Had Texas Do The Very Thing He Hated
Former University of Texas football coach Darrell Royal despised the forward pass. "Three things can happen," he famously said of throwing the football, "and two of them are bad."

MLB Hot Stove Apathy: The Real Secret Variable That (Almost) Predicted The Presidential Election
The "Redskins Rule" failed to pick the winner for second time in three presidential races, so it looks like everyone will have to pick a new random sports thing as their favorite election-prediction oracle.

Tim Duncan Smoothly Gives Fan The Finger In Most Boring And Fundamentally Sound Athlete Meltdown Ever
First, let's get this out of the way: Don't whip our your camera and film athletes when you see them in person. Like the woman who sent this video to us. She was at the CVS on Chase Hill Blvd. in northwestern San Antonio on Friday, heard Tim Duncan was in the store, and returned to her car to wait...
Goalie Fined For Dousing Fans With Water Bottle (Also, There Are Minor-League Hockey Teams In The South)
The video above's been out there for nearly a week, but it escaped any real notice until now, likely because it happened at the end of an ECHL game between the Orlando Solar Bears (get it?) and the Gwinnett (Ga.)
