J.T. Barrett During Drunk Driving Arrest: "I'm The Quarterback Of Ohio State"
Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after being pulled over and reportedly blowing a 0.099 into a breathalyzer (the legal limit for underage drivers in Ohio is 0.02) on Oct. 31.

Kelly Olynyk Attempts To Finish Burrito In Just Four Bites

Fired Junior Hockey Coaches Rehired After Entire Team Quits In Protest
Parents of youth athletes are notorious for carping about how little playing time precious Madison and Hunter are receiving, complaining to the coach and yelling from the stands.

John Oliver Gleefully Recaps Dan Snyder's "DICK BALLS" Legal Filing
We noted earlier this week a comically vulgar legal defense levied by NFL owner Dan Snyder to retain the “Washington Redskins” trademark, and HBO comic John Oliver covered the topic on his Last Week Tonight program. The organization’s point becomes even more clear when spoken out loud; Dan Snyder wa...
These Letters To The Editor Of The <i>Columbus Dispatch</i> Defending J.T. Barrett Are Hilarious
Last weekend, Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was arrested in Columbus after he tried to avoid a DUI checkpoint near campus.

The Browns Still Won't Commit To Johnny Manziel, For Some Reason
Johnny Manziel’s final stat line from last night’s game against the Bengals—15-of-33 for 168 yards and one touchdown—was built mostly off of Manziel’s solid first half, and isn’t the kind of line that would normally guarantee a starting role in the next game. But on a 2-7 team whose only other optio...
<i>Houston Chronicle</i> Accidentally Burns Urban Meyer, Apologizes
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer took a dig at Alabama today when he disclosed the name of his team’s field goal return play. (It’s a reference to the 2013 Iron Bowl, in which the Crimson Tide found a way to fuck up a tie game with one second left in regulation, you see.) One employee at the Housto...
John Brown And The Cardinals Despise Your Fantasy Team
Arizona wide receiver John Brown was questionable with a bum hamstring before he was declared active for yesterday’s game, a 34-20 win in Cleveland, but spent the game a-mouldering on the sideline.

Gus Johnson Has A Sense Of Humor About His Failed Stint Announcing Soccer
When Fox won the rights to broadcast the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, they embarked on an ambitious plan: Gus Johnson—the broadcaster mostly known for his Gusgasms during March Madness—would be their lead announcer. He started announcing some MLS games, and then Fox threw him directly into the fire and...
J.T. Barrett Has Had It With The Jokes About His "Weenie Arm"
Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett went down with an injury last year, and in his absence Cardale Jones won a national title and was named starter for 2015, at least partially on the merits of his cannon of an arm. Well, Barrett’s back under center now, and he’s had a while to stew over perceived slights to...
Johnny Cueto Was Tremendous Tonight
Johnny Cueto’s postseason form has oscillated between extremes. He shut down the Astros to take the Royals into the ALCS, giving up two runs in eight innings, then reversed those stats and gave up eight in two to the Blue Jays in his next start. The key difference was that Cueto’s dominant start, wh...
London Mayor Takes Break From Harming Kids In Sports, Eats It In Tug-Of-War
Boris Johnson, mayor of London, infamous child injurer, and all-around galoot, finally decided to pick on some lads his own size when he took on members of the UK’s armed forces in a tug-of-war match. Like his other spells with athletics, it too ended in embarrassment, only this time he was the only...
911 Call: Employee Told Cops: "I Don’t Feel Comfortable" Letting John Henson In Store

11 Gins, Ranked
Gin is the best white spirit, and its reward for this distinction is an unfounded but excellent reputation for spookiness and danger. Long before Reddit’s baddest boyz started taking pictures of “shower beer” balanced precariously atop their guts, the true freedom fighters of the 1920s battled Prohi...
Kevin Johnson Will Not Run For Third Term As Sacramento Mayor
Kevin Johnson announced late Tuesday that he won’t be running for a third term as mayor of Sacramento. ...
John Tortorella Will Terrorize The Blue Jackets Now
All those Blue Jackets players shouldering the blame for their historically woeful start? All that about Columbus seeking to make a trade before considering a coaching change? Everything about John Tortorella not having been contacted by struggling teams? Hooey. Todd Richards has been fired, and Tor...
The Royals Have Reopened The Blue Jays Sign-Stealing Controversy
A playoff series is always improved when one team is willing to talk some mess between games, so we thank the Royals for dusting off the old “The Blue Jays steal signs!” conspiracy theory....
That Troy Tulowitzki Ejection Sure Was Strange
MLB is lucky last night’s Royals-Blue Jays game was a victory for the Jays, because if the Royals had pulled ahead late and Troy Tulowitzki hadn’t been there to bat in the bottom of the ninth, all of Canada would be calling for home plate umpire John Hirschbeck’s head....
