“At one point during a non-televised break they chanted my name while I danced like a wedding drunk to the O’Jays’ ‘For The Love of Money,’ knowing full well that the song reminds us what money is: The Root of All Evil.” Joe MacLeod wrote a highly entertaining account of his experience on Who Wants ...

Mike Clevinger Is Just Ridiculously Angry At Robert Flores For Sharing A Silly Video

Bortles...Unleashed!

When I blogged Alex Smith’s lowlight reel this morning, I was quick to note that, for all the inside-the-Ark-of-the-Covenant face-melting power of his bad throws, Smith’s performance was not, statistically, the worst of the week. Blake Bortles’s, on the other hand, was....

Steve Kerr Says "I Don't Want To Be Here," Gets Ejected, Waves Goodbye

The Warriors left Klay Thompson and Draymond Green out of Monday’s preseason game against the Suns. Who cares! No team maybe ever has had any less use for the preseason than the 2018-2019 Golden State Warriors. Steve Kerr knows this. Watch him thank the referees for hitting him with technical fouls ...

Wrestling Magazines Were Bloody, Dumb, And Sleazy, And I Loved Them

A couple weeks ago at an independent wrestling show in New York City, the promoter, Jac Sabboth, arrived with a treasure trove of old magazines.

Linval Joseph Scores Ultimate Fat Man Touchdown

Fat man touchdowns are one of the few remaining things about football that can bring me pure, unadulterated joy in a moment’s notice.

How The Hell Did Iowa Pull This Off?

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz’s alter-ego “New Kirk” made a scintillating return to the football field on Saturday just over halfway through the second quarter during a fourth-and-goal opportunity for his Hawkeyes.
