Rick Carlisle Calls Out Referee For Baiting Deron Williams Into A Technical Foul
Mavericks point guard Deron Williams was given a technical foul by referee David Jones during last night’s game against the Pistons. According to Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle, the tech was only called because Jones went out of his way to bait Williams....
Raw Milk Is For Idiots
Some very stupid lawmakers in West Virginia are sick, presumably with the shits. They lifted the state’s ban on raw, unpasteurized milk a few weeks ago, then drank some raw, unpasteurized milk to celebrate, and, well, they are feeling bad lately. This seems an opportune moment to point out that actu...
ESPN Falls For Fake Jay Glazer Tweet About Olivier Vernon Signing With The Jaguars
ESPN’s NFL Live bit hard on a fake tweet about defensive end Olivier Vernon signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars today. Trey Wingo broke the “news” from “Fox Sports,” threw it to Adam Schefter for details (on a signing that didn’t occur), and opened it up to the panel. There’s something perfect abo...
When Will The Browns Cut Johnny Manziel?
The Cleveland Browns are completely done with Johnny Manziel; Hue Jackson’s comments at the combine are as close to confirmation as anyone needs. But while every other team was cutting their dead weight last week, the Browns aren’t going to do anything until 4 p.m. EST today at the earliest—and poss...
Scottish Manager Celebrates Goal By Beating Up His Own Player
Here’s Inverness CT manager John Hughes, demonstrating on the jawbone and ribcage of Liam Polworth, the thin line between cheerful exuberance and adrenaline-drenched rage:...
If You Like Making Fun Of Dwight Howard, You'll Like This Picture
Dwight Howard, a guy who probably voted himself Class Clown in high school, is apparently not very good at locking his iPad. At least that’s what this tweet from Rockets rookie Sam Dekker implies:...
Eagles' Trades Show Who's Really Running The Team
It was a year ago, in the span of one crazy week, when the Eagles signed DeMarco Murray and Byron Maxwell and traded for Kiko Alonso. They were the crown jewels of Chip Kelly’s first offseason after winning a power struggle for control of Philadelphia’s personnel decisions. Now, in the span of a day...
Israeli Soccer Medics Don't Know How To Use A Stretcher, Drop Injured Player
If these medics really are as incompetent as their Greek counterparts, unable to execute a simple task like taking a hobbled player off the pitch on a stretcher, then they probably shouldn’t have their jobs. If instead this was an elaborate team-building exercise—...
Players Resist Urge To Knock Out Referee After Getting Screwed Out Of A Goal
This is just unreal. Right after Accrington Stanley’s (yes, that’s actually the name of the team) striker Billy Kee had fired in what should’ve been the opening goal against AFC Wimbledon, the referee for some reason decided to blow the halftime whistle, nullifying the goal. The game ended 0-0....
DeAngelo Williams Has Petty And Righteous Thoughts About Peyton Manning
Today is the day when everyone is supposed to shower Peyton Manning with praise. That’s all fine and good, but I’m personally glad that DeAngelo Williams is here to balance things out with some raw pettiness (especially since much of it comes at the expense of Pete Prisco, wearer of weird shorts)....
Iowa Wrestler Only Talks About His Mullet After Winning Match
Iowa 184-pounder Sammy Brooks beat Nebraska’s T.J. Dudley to win the Big Ten Championship Sunday. After his victory, Brooks gave thanks to the big guy up top: his mullet....
James Harden, Just What The Hell Are You Doing On This Play?
There are two critical facts that need to be laid out in order to establish the context of the above play: 1) When this happened, the Rockets were up two with less than three minutes left in the game, and the game had just resumed after a timeout; and 2) The Rockets have yet to mention anything abou...
Get A Load Of This <i>Chicago Tribune</i> Columnist's Bad Steph Curry Take
Whatever your opinion on the Golden State Warriors—whether you think they can eat shit, or believe that their haters should shut the fuck up, or [untangleable mess of puns], or you love them—it’s inarguable that they are good at basketball. That’s sort of a ridiculous premise to have to establish, b...
Big Ten Network Melts Down, Airs Depeche Mode And Morrissey Songs Instead Of Commentary
If you were in the mood to hear Depeche Mode’s “Get The Balance Right” or Morrissey’s “Everyday Is Like Sunday” instead of play-by-play and analysis during today’s Illinois-Penn State game, the Big Ten Network delivered....
Bad Old Man Would Vote For Other Bad Old Man
Mike Ditka, a screaming bowl of sausage gravy, went on the radio yesterday and said that if the presidential election were to happen tomorrow, he would probably vote for Donald Trump, a racist haggis....
Cal And Their Megatalented Freshmen Are Going To Be A Nightmare In The NCAA Tournament
This has been a particularly strong year for Pac-12 basketball. Oregon came out of sorta-nowhere and won the conference title, but below them, Utah has been excellent, as has Arizona. Colorado, Washington, and USC all should make the NCAA Tournament too, but the scariest team in the whole conference...
Marvin Harrison Is Sick Of Terrell Owens's "Bullshit" Whining About The Hall Of Fame
Terrell Owens is still talking about being snubbed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and he’s got a point. He should be a shoo-in, but the HOF election procedures are messed up, and there’s a wide receiver logjam at the top that’s going to make guys like Owens wait longer than they should. Owens sa...
Look At This Goalkeeper Just Punch The Ball Into His Own Net
Málaga goalkeeper Carlos Kameni is usually really good. Yesterday, when trying to deal with a pretty straightforward Valencia cross, he did something really bad:...
Curt Schilling Is Back With Some Takes On Hillary Clinton And Donald Trump
With the interminably long primary season crawling towards the election, you should probably expect to hear a lot from ESPN baseball analyst Curt Schilling. He has (somewhat) toned down the social media postings that got him into trouble with his employer, but he’s going to continue offering his pol...
