High School Girl Charged With Assault After Brutal Soccer Beatdown
Throw out the formalities when Lewisville and Chester get together, that's what I always say. The South Carolina schools met for a women's soccer match Monday evening, and it ended with the police being called. That New Mexico-BYU game has nothing on this one....
Matt Hendricks Is: The Paralyzer
Washington's Matt Hendricks is a bruiser, not a scorer. But the Capitals forward has discovered a secret weapon that renders goalies powerless, and he's been dominating shootouts this month relying on that same move every time. Pump fake, goalie goes down, easy score....
Heat President Pat Riley Might Be The Worst Karaoke Singer We've Ever Seen
At Tuesday night's "Battioke" charity event in South Beach, Pat Riley had sunshine on his cloudy day, or something. Sure, it's less than 30 seconds and maybe it's not quite Wade Boggs-bad, but his rhythm clearly needs some work. Also, a tad pitchy....
Cricketer Takes 86 MPH Ball To The Crotch, Cracking His Cup
Kane Williamson was a hero on the fifth day of New Zealand's test against South Africa, and not just because he recorded a century and salvaged a draw after entering the afternoon facing down an enormous deficit. Early on he took a ball directly to the groin, a delivery that split his cup—or as pe...
Kimbo Slice Lands A Very Suspicious Knockout
Kimbo Slice, former bouncer, former internet streetfighter, former MMA sensation and washout, is now trying his hand at boxing. And while one doesn't usually start a successful boxing career at 38 years of age, Slice has gone undefeated in three matches by being matched against even more unlikely...
Southern Miss Pep Band Members Who Chanted "Where's Your Green Card?" Have Been Kicked Off The Pep Band
We first showed you what it looked and sounded like last week, when members of the Southern Miss pep band put their ignorance on full display by taking aim at Kansas State's Angel Rodriguez during the first round of the NCAA tournament. In case you missed it, we've again posted the video for you a...
When You Get Knocked Out By A Flying Knee Like This, People Think You Pooped Your Pants
The stinky rumor floating around the internet is that Vitor Vianna lost control of his bowels after taking this picture-perfect flying knee from Brian Rogers during a quarterfinal fight of a Bellator middleweight tournament. Whatever. We've all soiled the silk before, usually without the excuse of...
The Baltimore Orioles Are Not Welcome In Korea
Back in February, the Orioles pissed off an entire baseballing nation with their pursuit of a South Korean high school pitcher. Flaunting Flouting the rules and risking an international incident is probably worth it for a young lefty with great control. Except it didn't go that way. The Korean Baseb...
You Know Spring Is Here When Steve Spurrier Takes Off His Shirt
Steve Spurrier takes his shirt off; it's just what he does. Spring has come to Columbia. [WOLO-TV]...
The Southern Miss Band Chanted "Where's Your Green Card?" At Kansas State's Angel Rodriguez
Kansas State guard Angel Rodriguez was born in Puerto Rico, but don't tell the Southern Miss band that. (Maybe they don't know Puerto Rico is in the United States either, anyway.) Here's what it sounded like on the court late in the first half of their matchup today in Pittsburgh. [TruTV]...
Go Away Now, Pat Knight, You Loser, Bully, And Pathetic Rage-Case
Who are you going to yell at today, Pat Knight? Who is going to get humiliated in public now that your Lamar basketball team got destroyed in the NCAA play-in game last night?...
Jawanza Poland's Play-In Game Tip Slam Was Final Four Quality
Jawanza Poland's USF team is making as much a case to warrant their inclusion in the NCAA tournament as they are for the committee being completely out of their minds when offering a bid to Cal. It's been a thorough thrashing all game, and there's no better example of USF's dominance than Poland'...
Florida State, Vanderbilt, And Michigan State Are Going Dancing, But They Would Have Been Anyway
This brings to a close our series highlighting teams celebrating their conference championships, and like most televised entertainment, it comes to a somewhat anticlimactic end. Sure, FSU won the ACC for the first time ever, and Vanderbilt won the SEC tournament for the first time since 1951 (thou...

Here's An All-Time Great Hockey Coach Freakout
The gentleman in the suit throwing equipment on the ice is Marlin Murray, coach of the Dauphin Kings. Sort of a contradictory city/team name combination, but that doesn't change the fact that the Manitoba Junior Hockey League is serious business. Perhaps upset with the fact that his opponents rece...
Pitcher/Author Dirk Hayhurst Is In The Comments Right Now. Ask Him Stuff.
Dirk Hayhurst is a journeyman pitcher and the author of Out of My League, about the year he broke into the majors with the Padres. It is also partly about porn, trannies, and failure, so in a way it's a story about all of us. Dirk is taking your questions down below. Be nice, read up on the dude if...

Giants Eject Angels Scout From The Ballpark, And Now Everybody's Angry
You might not realize it, but the most interesting place in the baseball universe is Scottsdale, Arizona. Last week saw a mass bee attack hold up a Giants game, and yesterday brought us our first feud of the 2012 season as Giants manager Bruce Bochy kicked out an Angels scout....
