Ohio Bobcats Get Black Jerseys, Completely Lose Their Shit
Skip ahead to the 1:10 mark or so and watch as Ohio football players learn via video that they'll be wearing black jerseys this season. Much whooping ensues. One guy rolls around on the floor.

U.S. Ambassador Of Headers And Beautiful Goals Abby Wambach Gets Another One
Back in July, when the USWNT was still storming through the Women's World Cup, we nominated Abby Wambach for U.S. Ambassador of Headers and Beautiful Goals, because she kept scoring beautiful goals off of headers.

ESPN's Jenn Brown Doesn't Think Highly Of Bitch Butch Jones

If The '90s Braves Were Doctoring The Ball, More Power To Them
Where does the credit go for the dominant Braves pitching staffs of the 1990s? Smoltz, Glavine and Maddux themselves? A front office that got them, kept them, and found nearly-as-dominant fourth starters seemingly every year? A goodly amount of praise has been heaped on Leo Mazzone, the pitching coa...
Some Asshole Tossed Either A Streamer Or A Cash Register Roll That Hit A Soccer Referee In The Head (Video)

This Is Why You Suck, Lakers Fans
We saw this license plate on Reddit, and we tried to find an alternate explanation. Maybe they thought LeBron would sign with the Lakers.
