Shohei Ohtani Narrows Down His List To Seven Teams
In the end—or, in the beginning, I suppose, given that it took him all of two days to eliminate 23 teams from the running—Japanese two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani’s criteria for a Major League team had nothing to do with money, and nothing to do with the DH. Instead, the very first cut apparently ca...
Tarik Cohen Runs Like 90 Yards For 61-Yard Punt Return TD
Nothing gets a fan screaming in fear and disgust like a punt returner running the wrong way, but when the 49ers kicked to the Bears’ Tarik Cohen, the Chicago returner made the worst possible decision seem like a perfect one. Cohen received the punt at his own 40 yard-line and ran back to his 25 whi...
Alabama Beats Out Ohio State For Final College Football Playoff Slot
The first three teams announced for the college football playoff were no surprise. Clemson was number one, after their savage beatdown of Miami last night, and they were followed by Big 12 champion Oklahoma and SEC champs Georgia, who will play each other in the Rose Bowl....
TCU's John Diarse Lays Out For Spectacular One-Handed Touchdown Grab
Third-ranked Oklahoma jumped out to a 17-0 lead over TCU after just four total possessions this afternoon, and very much looked poised to run away from the Horned Frogs.

Tennessee's Week-Long Faceplant Continues
Friday morning, after returning from yet another meeting with another prospective head coach, Tennessee athletic director John Currie was canned. It was quick, kind of expected, and, really, just another blip in what’s been a teeth-grinding shitshow for the folks in Knoxville and a comical treasure ...
The Giants Really Screwed Up Eli Manning's Exit
The more details we learn about the benching of Eli Manning for Geno Smith, the clearer it becomes that this whole thing was done in the only way the Giants know how to do things this season: chaotically, unnecessarily, less-than-competently....
John Fox On Bears: “We Don’t Know Exactly What We’re Doing”
Yesterday the Bears released Tre McBride, a wide receiver whose 92-yard performance in Week 8 against New Orleans is the best single-game receiving performance for any player on the team this year. McBride also played on 78 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles....
The Man Cops Say Is My Neighborhood Serial Killer Was A Basketball Walk-On At St. John's
For almost two months, my neighborhood in Tampa has been terrorized by a serial killer. Four people are dead, with nothing connecting them other than that they live here in Seminole Heights.

Tennessee AD John Currie Is Now Under Fire For Bungling The Greg Schiano Hire
The University of Tennessee athletic department is currently in full-on crisis mode thanks to the bungled hiring of Greg Schiano, and the apparent and baffling lack of vetting behind the decision-making process that led to that hiring. Not only is Schiano not going to be the next Volunteers coach, b...
Mohamed Sanu Throws 50-Yard TD Strike To Julio Jones
Third-and-one in the first half isn’t usually the time to reach deep into the bag of tricks, but the Atlanta Falcons clearly trust wideout Mohamed Sanu to get them all the yards they need, and then some. With the ball at midfield, they had Sanu take a shotgun snap and fire a pass deep down the field...

Senior quarterback J.T.

Instead, Meyer said an unidentified cameraman knocked Bar...
Oh Great, Now John Wall's Knee Is An Issue, This Is Just Fucking Great
The top of the NBA’s Eastern Conference is a little deeper than most observers expected it to be before the season. The Celtics are kicking everyone’s ass. The Pistons are good. The Cavs are becoming good. The Raptors are their usual good selves. Teams like the Pacers and 76ers and Heat and Bucks an...
