Rangers Rinkside Reporter Takes A Puck To The Face
John Giannone is the man between the benches on MSG, and with time winding down in the second period, the puck found him. He cut open the bridge of his nose, which led to what I believe is a first: a reporter doing a live shot as his own blood pours down his face and into his mouth. He's a hockey ...
Rob Gronkowski, Porn Star?
The Summer of Gronk, Part II, might be less than three weeks old, but it's already so far along that Gronkshaming has become a thing. So where can it go from here? Why not porn! A porn company has offered Gronk $3.75 million—the equivalent of his 2014 salary—to record a scene with his friend BiBi Jo...
Pitch Invader Rushes Onto Field During Argentina-Sweden Match, Kisses Lionel Messi
While the U.S. was busy losing to Honduras in a vital World Cup qualifying match, other nations around the globe spent their Wednesday engaged in international friendly matches. One such bout became especially friendly, as Argentina's road trip to Sweden turned romantic when a Barcelona jersey-cla...
Iowa State Athletic Director Kicked Out Of High School Basketball Game For Arguing With Referee
Jamie Pollard is like most lunatic parents in many respects. For instance, when he has the chance on a random Tuesday night in February, Pollard likes to watch his son play basketball for Gilbert High School. And sometimes he is so into the game, he gets himself ejected for arguing with the referee...
The Steven Soderbergh Experience: Brilliant, Modest, Fiercely Intelligent, Ultimately Disappointing
"I was watching one of those iconoclast shows on the Sundance Channel. Jamie Oliver said Paul Smith had told him something he hadn't understood until very recently: 'I'd rather be No. 2 forever than No. 1 for a while.' Just make stuff and don't agonize over it. Stop worrying about being No. 1. I s...
Jacoby Jones Earns Marylanders Over $600,000 In Free Furniture
That one play saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for furniture shoppers and, more importantly, it gave Gardiner's Furniture a truckload of free advertising. The deal went like this: If you shopped in the store between January 31 and 3 p.m. Super Bowl Sunday and the Ravens took either the openi...
This Is More Or Less What Happened To The Ravens In The Third Quarter
Here's how the Ravens played in the third: A long Jacoby Jones touchdown return—bad news for the 49ers, obviously—a 34-minute power outage, punt, punt, Haloti Ngata knee sprain (which has him doubtful to return), fumble, Jacoby Jones getting enormously jacked up by Delanie Walker on a kick return. ...
Jacoby Jones Just Returned The Opening Kickoff Of The Second Half 109 Yards For A Touchdown
According to CBS that is an NFL record. The Ravens won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half. The decision allowed Jones to break an NFL record and toss his hat in the ring for Super Bowl MVP alongside Joe Flacco. NFL record and two pretty exciting touchdowns? We like his chances. ...
The Ravens Dig The Deep Ball: Joe Flacco And Jacoby Jones Connect For The Play Of The Super Bowl (So Far)
We've previously mentioned Baltimore's affinity for the deep ball and here is Joe Flacco, once again, successfully going long. He may have underthrown it just a bit (give him a break though, he did throw it 50 yards downfield), but Jacoby Jones helped his quarterback out. He caught the ball as h...
Yesterday's Ohio Valley Conference Games Gave Us An Early Contender For Dunk Of The Year
That's Marcus Lewis of the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, ruthlessly and acrobatically throwing it down against Southeastern Missouri State yesterday during an Ohio Valley conference game. Lewis, a junior, only transferred into Division I this year and only has 140 points total in the Colonels' 23 gam...
Live Los Angeles Police Standoff Features Suspect Doing Whippit After Whippit [UPDATE: Video Highlights]
This is amazing. A slow-speed Los Angeles car chase that began as a DUI pursuit appears to have stalled, as the suspect sits in his car, filling up balloon after balloon from a canister, then inhaling the contents. He's surrounded by police with guns drawn....
Adorable Kid Rushes The Court In The Middle Of A Game
This moment, from last night's Oklahoma-Baylor game, isn't quite as adorable as two dogs invading a soccer pitch, but it's still pretty goddamn cute. With about nine minutes left in the second half, one pint-sized Baylor fan decided that it would be a good idea to rush the court. We're not sure wh...
This Wayne Rooney Scarf Looks An Awful Lot Like Hitler
Manchester United increased their standing atop the Premiership ladder thanks to a 2-1 win over Southampton yesterday driven by a Wayne Rooney brace that brought fans at Old Trafford to their feet, if they weren't already upon them....
Kari Lehtonen Made The Best Save Of This Young NHL Season
It shouldn't have come to this. Dallas's Kari Lehtonen should never have had to make this spinning, behind-the-back swipe that kept the Stars-Blue Jackets game scoreless. Even screened by Nick Foligno, Lehtonen will probably be the first to tell you he should have gloved the puck, or knocked it do...
How Two Newspapers Wound Up Staging The Same Sob Story About The Ray Lewis Murder Case
Richard Lollar was one of two men killed in the 2000 Super Bowl week stabbing outside an Atlanta nightclub that led to Ray Lewis's pleading guilty to obstruction of justice. For 13 years Lollar has been buried in his hometown of Akron, and in those 13 years his mother Priscilla had never been to his...
Lolo Jones Won A Gold Medal (In World Championship Bobsled)
Lolo Jones still has yet to win a gold medal in the Olympics, but today, she added a new and extra random addition to her small pile of world championship medals—she now has two golds for 60m hurdles, and one for the combined bobsled-skeleton team event at the Swiss winter world championships. She w...
<em>Inside The NBA</em> Got A Little Gay-Baity Last Night
During halftime of last night's Clippers-Suns game, the Inside the NBA crew had some fun at the expense of Charles Barkley, who mentioned during the second quarter that he gets his eyebrows waxed. The segment began with a mocking Shaquille O'Neal getting the same treatment, and it quickly devolved...
Tell It To Your Analyst: The Raging Genius Of Earl Weaver
The first and obvious thing about Earl Weaver, for me, was that he was terrifying. I lived about seven blocks from Memorial Stadium, depending on how you walked it, and Junior Orioles packages were cheap, so my parents took my older brother and me to games all the time, from our youngest days. This ...

RIP Earl Weaver, The Irascible, Cigarette-Smoking Orioles Manager Who Was Moneyball Before "Moneyball" Existed
Earl Weaver, who managed the Orioles for 15 seasons from 1968-1982 (and another two from 1985-1986) passed away on Friday night at the age 82. In 11 of his 17 seasons, the Orioles won 90 or more games, and in his first three at the helm he guided Baltimore to three World Series, one of which, the 1...
