It's College Baseball's Opening Day, And The Umpires Are Already Falling Over Their Own Feet
Believe it or not, there are a few of us who really do get excited for college baseball's opening day. (This may be a Florida thing. Being able to see live baseball in mid-February in gorgeous weather is tough to turn down.) While the players may be fully-trained and ready for the field, the umpir...
An ESPN Blunder Let Viewers Eavesdrop On Hannah Storm And Mark Schlereth Discussing What Sounds Like Tim Tebow's Doubtful NFL Future
It's no secret the Worldwide Leader loves all things Tebow. We didn't expect to find the Jets "quarterback" to be a topic of off-camera discussion by ESPN talent, though, as appears to be the case when a director cut from a live Colin Kaepernick media day presser to Hannah Storm and Mark Schlereth...
Watch, Perhaps, The Worst Professional Ski Jump Attempt Ever
We've all been there: You're sledding, you slip, the sled gets out from under you and all of a sudden it's rocketing down the hill and you have to walk all the way down to go get it. Sucks. Unfortunately for Daiko Ito, he was strapped into skis, he is a professional ski jumper, this happened in fr...
Mike Stoops Thinks Johnny Football Can Win Another Heisman, As Long As He Avoids "Jail" And Twitter

"Shit!": A Surprised And Adorable Kenneth Faried Reacts To His Own Dominance
Kenneth Faried had a monster game for the Nuggets last night, scoring 19 points and pulling down 19 rebounds in 36 minutes of action. After the game, a visibly exhausted Faried (playing like a rebound-hungry maniac will do that to you) took some time to give a postgame interview. At the 50-second ...
Mike Stoops Hopping Around Like An Idiot Was Oklahoma's Only Defensive Highlight In Last Night's Cotton Bowl
Heisman hero Johnny Manziel lit up the Oklahoma defense last night en route to a 41-13 thrashing of Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl last night, accumulating 516 total yards—229 of them on the ground....
Georgia Tech's Rod Sweeting Wins Sun Bowl MVP Honors, Immediately Utters "Sheeeeeiiit" On CBS
Georgia Tech cornerback Rod Sweeting dominated a USC offense uninterested in making the Sun Bowl competitive, earning his way to the bowl's MVP honors. The televised trophy presentation led to CBS's Tracy Wolfson demanding a few words from Sweeting, but his first one—left to reverberate against th...
The Sun Bowl Officiating Crew Botched A Missed Field Goal Call And It Had To Be Overturned On Replay
The Sun Bowl is scoreless midway through the first quarter, though if it were up to the bowl's Big Ten officiating crew, it would be a bit different. That's because they attempted to call a field goal attempt by USC's Andre Heidari good, even though it was obvious to viewers and everybody in the s...
Introducing Sonny ****, The Cal Bears' New Football Coach
A little more than two weeks after firing Jeff Tedford, the Cal Bears have their man: They've hired Louisiana Tech coach Sonny ****. ****'s Bulldogs had the nation's top-ranked offense this season; they averaged 51.5 points and 577.92 yards per game. ****'s Tech team finished with a 9-3 record but w...
ESPN Screwup Lets Viewers Listen In On Jimmy Dykes And Dave O'Brien Talking About The National Anthem Singer's Clothing
In yet another technical blunder that led to inadvertent viewer eavesdropping on ESPN talent, a "live look-in" during ESPN's college basketball coverage last night patched in audio of the upcoming Syracuse-Arkansas game instead of the intended live-action Georgia-USF game. It just so happened that...
Slick Rick's Embarrassing Performance At The Nets Game Last Night Was Worse Than You Think
We told you about Slick Rick getting booed at halftime of the Knicks-Nets game, and about Frank Isola of the New York Daily News getting all kinds of grief on Twitter for wondering whether Slick Rick was indeed a hip-hop legend. Slick's got nothing to prove to anyone anymore, but after hearing thi...
The 76ers' Website Apparently Was Selling "Drew Holiday" Jerseys A Little While Ago
Drew Holiday! Isn't he the guy who leads the Sixers in scoring, assists, and minutes played this season? He's not? Really? Because I could swear that guy has a name that sounds a lot like Drew Holiday, which must be why the Sixers were so eagerly pushing his jersey with a banner ad at the bottom of ...
Seahawks-Dolphins Delayed When Sun Life Stadium Sprinklers Go Off Mid-Game
Damn you, BW3. In a premature attempt to extend what's so far been a boring Seattle-Miami NFL game, a groundskeeping blunder led to a delay in the action when midway through the third quarter, Sun Life Stadium's sprinkler system went off, leading players and officials to scatter in an attempt to e...

Mitch Albom Was "Phony Sweet" And Other Highlights Of <em>PTI</em>'s Accidentally Released Behind-The-Scenes Audio
ESPN helpfully publishes an audio podcast of its popular Pardon The Interruption program daily for viewers who can't find their way to a television at 5:30 p.m. Eastern. Yesterday, though, we received numerous emails alerting us to the bizarre nature of yesterday's podcast. For one, it was more tha...
The Era Of Profane T-Shirts On TV Continues As Minutemen Fan's "UMass Fuckin Amherst" Shirt Finds ESPN Camera
It started last year with West Fuckin' Virginia, continued this Sunday with Baltimore Fuckin' Maryland, and lest you think the refined gentry of Massachusetts residents were above extraneous profanity, there it was yesterday during ESPN's outstanding basketball marathon—sans the requisite apostroph...
