Iowa's Mascot Got Rocked In The Beans By An Errant Pass
Saturday’s visit to Penn State started a lot better than it finished for the Iowa Hawkeyes. It ended with a 30-24 defeat and a stumble back into the pack in the Big Ten West standings, but it started with a first quarter that featured a blocked punt that became a safety, a fantastic touchdown pass t...

The Browns Have Finally Fired Hue Jackson [Update]
According to Adam Schefter, the Cleveland Browns have put head coach Hue Jackson in the trash can. This should come as no surprise, both because the Browns have reportedly been considering firing Jackson for a while now, and also because Jackson is a comically incompetent boob who racked up a record...
The Steelers Went Full-Rutgers And Forgot To Field This Safety Punt

Russell Wilson hit Ed Dickson for a touchdown to extend the Seahawks’ lead over the Lions late in the second quarter. It was a nice throw and catch....
Report: The Browns' Coaching Mess Might Require A Clean-Up
Failure that breeds dysfunction, which breeds potential coaching staff or front office changes. It might as well be the Cleveland Browns’ motto. That remains true even in a season in which the Browns are finally showing some signs of life. But Cleveland has lost three of its last four games, and the...
Mike Gundy And Tom Herman Cook Up Some Beef, Then Quickly Throw It Away
The ending of Oklahoma State’s 38-35 victory over Texas on Saturday night got a little beef-y when Longhorns coach Tom Herman had to be restrained from coming at Cowboys coach Mike Gundy right there on the field. For a moment, this one had some real sizzle. But in the end, there was nothing to savor...
Iowa's Punter Connects With A Walk-On Defensive End For This Fat Man Touchdown
Already up 5-0 on Penn State because of a field goal and a safety, the Iowa Hawkeyes clearly wanted to add a new level of weirdness to this game. Coach Kirk Ferentz brought the latest trick play out of the back of his playbook for the crowd at Happy Valley. On a fourth-and-goal at the 10-yard line, ...
Hell Yeah, Clemson Scored A Fat Man Touchdown
The 1985 Chicago Bears waited until they were up 34 points on the New England Patriots in the second half of Super Bowl XX before calling William “The Refrigerator” Perry’s number to score a one-yard touchdown. This season’s Clemson Tigers made the call a little sooner than that in a game with lower...
Hawks Owner Tony Ressler: I Was A Big Dumb Idiot But Now I'm All Better
Tony Ressler bought the Atlanta Hawks in 2015 for a reported $850 million. The Hawks wrapped up a 60-win season that year, and made the Eastern Conference Finals. In the time that he has owned the team they’ve won fewer games each year, bottoming out last season with a 24-win tank fest, and they fig...
NFL Admits Helmet Hit That Baker Mayfield Complained About Should Have Been Penalized
In the fourth quarter of last weekend’s game against the Buccaneers, Browns QB Baker Mayfield ripped off a 35-yard run.

Dolphins Gifted Red Zone First Down On Highly Suspect Illegal Contact Penalty
The NFL’s rules about who can hit who and when, and how, and where, are even more confusing than I thought. Tonight the Dolphins were gifted a first down and half the distance to the goal on a call I’m not sure I’ve ever seen before: a personal foul against the Texans for making contact with, uh, th...
Report: The Broncos' Ownership Situation Is Getting Messy
Control of the Broncos organization was passed to a trust in 2014, when Annabel Bowlen announced that her husband, team owner Pat Bowlen, was too diminished by Alzheimer’s disease for him to continue running the team. The Broncos won the Super Bowl the following season, but the years since have been...

In two separate civil suits, multiple women say that Wall Street portfolio manager Howard Rubin—infamous for his role in Merrill Lynch losing $275 million dollars in one quarter in 1987, later documented in the bestselling book Liar’s Poker—paid people to lure them to a Manhattan penthouse, where he...
Despite His Insistence, Kirk Minihane Does Not Seem Ready To Return To His Radio Show
WEEI host Kirk Minihane has been away from his morning radio show Kirk and Callahan since September because of mental health issues and a period of suicidal thoughts in August.

The announcement came as part of guidance for their...
WWE Says Saudi Arabia Show Will Go On
For weeks, WWE had only said it was “monitoring the situation” in Saudi Arabia ahead of its scheduled event in Riyadh on November 2. The “situation,” of course, is the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, on top of the kingdom’s plethora of human-rights violations, including but definit...
Mike Francesa Rants About Reporter Who Made Fun Of His Expensive App
Mike Francesa’s return to WFAN has been underwhelming, although if you’ll recall what he was doing before he retired for four months, it’s actually in line with the personality of a 60-something radio guy who hates to take direction. The most interesting thing about him right now is a feud he’s star...
Let's Briefly Check In On The Minnesota Timberwolves
Now seems like a time to pop in and see what’s going on with the T-Wolves, and specifically Karl-Anthony Towns, who spent the last few weeks of the offseason getting shat on by teammate and supreme cheesebutt Jimmy Butler....
