11 Things Longer Than Last Night's Sox-Yanks Game But That Felt Shorter
Last night’s offensively-, technologically-, and spermatozoaically-deficient 19-inning Red Sox-Yankees game officially clocked in at 6:49, but in reality the broadcast with festivities, anthems, et cetera lasted around seven hours. For viewers, though, the slogging despair of watching the longest R...
This Is What Pioneers Wear
The runner in the photo above with very little skin showing is Fatma El Sharnouby, representing Egypt at the World Cross Country Meet, held March 28, 2015, in Guiyang, China.

Quick, Drink This Great Kosher Beer Before Passover Starts!
Were your parents the sort of filthy liars who encouraged you to believe you could accomplish anything you wanted in life? Mine were not. They were pleasant realists who offered vague philosophical support for my larger hopes and dreams, but mainly wished my penmanship would improve enough to help...
Milan Lucic Scores Controversial "Kicked" Goal
The above play by Boston's Milan Lucic was ruled no goal on the ice, as the referees determined that Lucic kicked the puck into the back of the net. But upon video replay that ruling was overturned, as it was ruled there was no "distinct" kicking motion from Lucic. NHL rules say that a goal should...
Failure To Pay Office Pool Winnings Leads To Sad, Overwrought Email
This overwrought email, sent by the winner of a March Madness office pool to the irresponsible pool administrator who was dragging his or her feet with payouts, comes to us from a tipster who tells us that he dusts it off every March for a good chuckle. We don't blame him....
Please Get Your Talk About "Overthinking" Out Of Trevor Bauer's Face
Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer is fairly active on Twitter, and fans who tweet questions at him often get responses. Yesterday, one fan asked Bauer what he probably thought was a pretty innocent question until he got an eight-tweet rant in response. ...
Man Crossed Over So Hard His Teammate Feels It
We've covered the exploits of the streetballer known as Hot Sauce before, and judging from this recent clip, he clearly hasn't lost his touch at hitting defenders with mean crossovers. That crossover was so vicious, the poor kid's teammate felt it. Look at him fall over!...

ESPN/ABC ran this graphic during today's Bulls-Spurs game in recognition of the NBA's Noche Latina campaign, and it raises an interesting question: does Pau Gasol belong on this list? ...
Soccer Player's Leg Snaps Like A Twig After Tackle [WARNING: GRUESOME]
Warning: the video above of Roma’s Radja Nainggolan sliding in on Chievo Verona’s Federico Mattiello and giving him a new knee joint in the middle of his shin is pretty gnarly. Watch (and listen, because you can hear the thing crack) at your own peril....
Al Pacino's Worst Movie Ever Is <i>Revolution</i>
Flipping around cable, I land on 1993's Carlito's Way and check in for a few scenes of a lurid, pulpy, and very Brian De Palma movie that's arguably like Scarface with an interior life. And as Al Pacino struts and chews his way through another role with another weird accent that ultimately leave...
The Miseducation Of Deion Sanders
Deion Sanders knows better than most that there's power in a nickname. When he was still just a skinny cornerback at Florida State University, he dubbed himself "Prime Time" and birthed an alter ego that would earn him fame, riches, and a place in the pantheon of the 20th century's greatest athlet...
It Took Five Minutes For An Officiating Controversy To Emerge
This is roughing the kicker. It has been called roughing the kicker all season. Officials did not call this roughing the kicker. (We do not know how inflated the punter's ball was.)...
Splendor in the Short Grass
Here's Grover Lewis' famous Rolling Stone takeout on the filming of The Last Picture Show:...

Angry Soccer Guy Gets All In Another Soccer Guy's Face, Gets Kissed
It's always funny when athletes go head-to-head in anger, shouting at each other with their lips mere inches apart. You always watch to see if their mouths touch. Well, one soccer dude removed all the ambiguity from this tête-à-tête when he blatantly smooched his opponent right on the mouth. How cut...

If you've played fantasy football for long enough, you'll see nothing strange over a vetoed trade leading to one owner threatening to come over and beat up the league treasurer....
Fantasy Football Commissioner Is Fed The Fuck Up
A reader forwarded us this email, which he says was sent by the commissioner of his fantasy football league, Alex. To be succinct, Alex is fucking sick of everyone's bullshit. A $300 prize brings out the worst in people, apparently....
The Ludicrousness Of St. Louis Rams Vs. St. Louis Cops, By Jon Stewart
We've become accustomed to all this by now, but since not everyone can catch The Daily Show it's become our responsibility to bring it to you: the inevitable takedown of this weekend's ridiculous apology-non apology about the St. Louis Rams doing "Hands up, don't shoot" before their game Sunday....

A St. Louis Rams executive apologized (Update: he denies apologizing, see below) to police on behalf of the team's front office for players' use of the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gesture before Sunday's game—a gesture that left St. Louis cops demanding punishment for the players....
