Which NFL Team Has The Most Game-Ending Turnovers In The Last Decade?
You can take the Romo out of the Cowboys, but, well, you know how this goes. Sunday night, Kyle Orton threw a game-ending interception to Eagles defensive back Brandon Boykin with 1:49 remaining, and effectively ended the Cowboys' season. It's become something of a ritual for Cowboys fans, but have ...
Make Going To The Gym This Year's Resolution (And Piss Everyone Off)
Let's talk resolutions. Let's specifically talk about other people talking about resolutions. You know all the capital-R Runners and muscle heads all get together drinking Michelob Ultras and smoking those Stephen Dorff electric cigarettes to shit talk on all the people who flood their gyms for the ...
The Christmas List: Because Not Everything About Running Has To Suck
So I broke the streak last week and if there's one thing I've learned about myself it's that given the slightest excuse not to run, I will take it. Since breaking the streak I think I've run once. Maybe twice. Either way, it's been to a bunch of Christmas songs because Christmas songs are awesome an...
We're Going Streaking (Except When We're Not)!
It's been over three weeks since the run-at-least-a-mile-every-day streak began and I've been true (almost). It's an incredible nuisance. ...

Meet The Guy Who Won The First Ultra Marathon He Ever Ran
Zach Miller is a 25-year-old dude who travels the world while working on a cruise ship. Last week, he won the country's oldest ultramarathon, the JFK 50 Mile, a race he'd never heard of until October and a distance he'd never come close to running before. His time of 5 hours 38 minutes and 53 second...
The Foodspin Thanksgiving Reader
Hey whoa Thanksgiving is here! This means you will have to provide some victuals for some people, or else they will finally have the excuse for disowning/defriending/excommunicating you that they have always secretly wanted. Below you'll find all the Thanksgiving-relevant Foodspin action you'll ne...
Bill Belichick And The NFL's Unexpected History Of Overtime Kick-Offs
Yesterday was 11 years to the day that Marty Mornhinweg declared that the Lions would kick off to start overtime. Chicago scored on its first series, and Mornhinweg wasn't Lions coach much longer. Yesterday, Bill Belichick pulled a Marty Mornhinweg, with better results....
The Secret To Surviving The Holidays (There Isn't One)
This is the hard part for me. The race is over and all I have pushing me is my own determination, which is another way of saying "nothing." It's especially dangerous now, too, that the holidays are coming up, which is so weird when you think about it....
The Science Of Hangovers: Causes, Cures, And Prevention
This is one of the first rivalry weekends of the college football season, and I'll be spending it in New Haven, Connecticut, for what is perhaps the nadir of intercollegiate gridiron competition: the Harvard/Yale game. Inside the stadium, the future business leaders of America will strap on the pads...
Running Is Easy Or: How I Ran A Second Half-Marathon Despite Myself
Another half-marathon is in the books and I did not die (or poop!). Hoorah! Here's the Spotify playlist I used. ...
The Jubilance And Trauma Of Victory Displayed On One Tennis Court
Today in London a pair of Spaniards took the doubles finals of the ATP World Tour. The emotion David Marrero displays on the left? Triumph, of course. And Fernando Verdasco, on the right? Why, that's triumph as well, albeit laced with relief and exhaustion....
Fresh Legs Are For Suckers
The half-marathon was yesterday. This post concerns the week leading up to the race, so I'll talk about that next week. Assuming I finished the race and/or did not die. Stay tuned! Here's this week's Spotify playlist....
Running 50 Miles Across Kansas Was Actually Kind Of Awesome
I ran in the Bison 50 Relay race from Topeka to Lawrence, Kansas last weekend. It was 50 miles and surprisingly not the worst thing I've ever done. Next week I'll run a half-marathon in Florida and then, well, I don't know what I'll do. Probably get re-fat on alcohol and seasonal treats for the nex...
The Horse Lovers
Outside the barn. Everyone is hushed, reverential, expectant. The second assistant director; Cheryl’s stand-in; a CBS female executive; and another woman, are all standing close to the closed barn door. Their ears are pressed against the door, waiting for word of the birth of the foal. Their faces h...
No Matter How Far You Go, You Can't Outrun Stupid
You think you've exhausted the myriad avenues available to you in which it is possible to be an idiot at life and then you have a week like this one.

High School Volleyballer Suspended For Being Designated Driver
A Massachusetts high school senior has been suspended for five matches and stripped of her volleyball captaincy thanks to the school's no-tolerance policy toward alcohol. Except she wasn't drinking, and had only shown up at the house party to drive an intoxicated friend home. ...
Breakfast Is A Pain In The Ass, But Probably Helpful
It is October, a time for drinking seasonal beers and being hearty. I am not drinking seasonal beers because I gave up drinking for the month because of an upcoming race. I gave up drinking for running; it's terrible. As you're reading this, I am likely getting drunk at a football game. Here is your...
Dan Snyder's Open Letter Is As Gross As You'd Think It Would Be
Dan Snyder is that rare person who comes off as even more despicable when he's trying to be thoughtful than when he's just openly being a prick. Case in point: this hilariously tone deaf open letter to "Everyone in our Redskins Nation" (kind of like a reservation!) in defense of the team's nickname,...
