Travis Benjamin's Terrible Decisions Led To One Of The Worst Punt Returns Ever<em></em><em></em>
Los Angeles’s Travis Benjamin could have had only a minor miscue on his record if he had stayed where he was on the field after he picked up his own muffed punt, but nah, he had to try and create something better. In doing so, he inexplicably ran backwards almost 10 yards into his own end zone, gett...
Report: Colin Kaepernick Excluded From Player-Owner Meetings
Despite certain NFL players proposing meetings that include him, and an NFL spokesperson indicating last week that he expected an invitation to be extended, Colin Kaepernick is being frozen out of meetings on social justice between the NFLPA and NFL owners, according to a report from Slate....
Like Butch Jones's Career, Tennessee Hail Mary Pass Falls Just Short
Jarrett Guarantano connected with Jeff George on a 48-yard hail mary on the final play of Tennessee’s game at Kentucky Saturday night. The problem? The Volunteers started the play 51 yards away from the end zone....
Penn State, TCU, and South Florida Drop From The Ranks Of The Undefeated
Three ranked, undefeated teams all suffered their first losses of the season within an hour this afternoon: 2nd-ranked Penn State lost a narrow one to 6th-ranked Ohio State in Columbus; 4th-ranked TCU trailed the whole way at 25th-ranked Iowa State; and 17th-ranked South Florida lost at home to Hous...

Doug Gottlieb: DeAndre Hopkins Isn't "Smart Enough" To Get "Nuance" Of Bob McNair's "Inmates" Quote
Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins skipped practice today after ESPN published a quote from team owner Bob McNair in which he compared his employees to prison inmates at last week’s NFL meetings. Thankfully, Fox Sports Radio broadcaster Doug Gottlieb was available to bring the white man’s perspect...
The Pro Wrestling Fan Who Wasted The FBI's Time Claiming He Paid Oswald to Kill JFK
Thursday night’s release of a trove of raw JFK assassination intelligence by the National Archives seems as if it was deliberately released in such a way as to comply with the law while ensuring that it’s as difficult to use as possible. The PDFs of the documents have not been made searchable, their...
Steve Smith Might Really Whoop Michael Irvin's Ass
During Thursday’s NFL Network pregame show, Michael Irvin couldn’t resist taking a shot at Steve Smith’s pants. It seems like a bad idea to joke with the guy who once broke his own teammate’s nose, but it was heartening to see Irvin put his own neck on the line for once....
49ers Ask Their Fans If Winning Is Important
Credit where it’s due: 49ers owner Jed York has been relatively conscientious and forthright on the subject of the racial and social-justice issues at the heart of the NFL player protests. But York is still an NFL owner, and the NFL is still a business. Winning football games? A negotiable priority,...
Tennis Player Chastised By Umpire After He Won Point Without Even Trying
Down 5-1 in the last set to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and returning serve, hope was more or less lost for Damir Dzumhur in today’s second-round Vienna Open match. He could be forgiven for letting his effort lapse, especially after he’d limped around for much of the second set, and even more so after he’d t...
Jake Allen Is Rudely Reminded That Ice Is Slippery
Blues goalie Jake Allen was doing just fine through the first half of last night’s game against Calgary, holding down the fort while his team took a 3-1 lead. But just when you think you’re safe, that’s when some devious frozen water will turn you into a fool. While trying to play the puck behind hi...
No Delivery
Here is a scenario that you have probably found yourself in recently: It’s 7:00 p.m., you’re finally home from work after a long day of whatever it is that you do all day at work, and you’re out of food. You don’t want to walk to the grocery store (ugh!), chop up and heat the foodstuffs you’ve purch...
It's Time For WWE To Save Kurt Angle From Himself. Again.
On Saturday night, I went to a show from House of Glory, one of the local independent wrestling promotions in New York City. It was a really fun show until an accident in the semifinal match, when Chris Seaton of the New York Wrecking Krew tag team broke his femur in a freak accident; he landed wron...
Browns QB Roulette Continues Apace After DeShone Kizer Apologizes For Going To Bar
The Cleveland Browns, who are once again a plague upon this green Earth, have spent the season flipping back and forth between a trio of QBs of varying mediocrity. DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan, and Cody Kessler have teamed up to throw seven touchdowns and 17 picks for a team that only figures to have ...
Dolphins Cornerback Makes Big Play, Is Rewarded With Teammate's Vigorous Ass Slap
Dolphins cornerback Bobby McCain helped Miami snatch a win from the Jets when he picked off Josh McCown in the final minute of Sunday’s 31-28 victory. McCain’s prize for his efforts was a fierce butt smack, courtesy of fellow Dolphin Xavien Howard....
ESPN Cancels Barstool Sports TV Show After One Episode

The Cowboys' Safety Had To Replace Their Kicker And He Wasn't That Bad
Cowboys defensive back Jeff Heath, best known for almost decapitating a guy on the football field, was a kicker for Lake Orion High School (Mich.), and once hit a dramatic, game-winning 49-yard field goal. When Dan Bailey hurt his groin in Sunday’s game against the 49ers, Heath had to fill in....
Kurt Angle’s Return To Wrestling Was A Beautiful Disaster
WWE was in a bind going into last night’s Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view. A contagious viral illness is going through the Raw locker room. Bray Wyatt was pulled from his match against Finn Balor. Roman Reigns was pulled from the main event, scuttling the Shield reunion....
The Timberwolves' Cool Youths Mushed The Thunder
When Carmelo Anthony’s high-arcing three from the left wing splashed in, to give his Oklahoma City Thunder a 113-112 fourth-quarter lead over the Timberwolves last night, it also left just under five seconds on the game clock. Time enough for Minnesota’s Andrew Wiggins to do this:...
