On A Special Night, Kobe Bryant Delivers In The Clutch Like Only 2015 Kobe Can
Indiana led the Lakers by three with ten seconds left at Staples Center. On the night Kobe Bryant announced his retirement, there was no question which player would take the game-tying shot to force overtime....

I Could Play Better Defense Than James Harden On This Play
Look, James Harden is an elite NBA player, who maybe should have been the MVP last season. He’s good and fine on offense, despite his early slump, but I am saying to you now that he is so bad as a defender that I could put forth, at a minimum, the effort to foul Lance Thomas in this specific instanc...

Butt Goal
Cambridge United beat Notts County 3-1 in League Two yesterday, thanks in part to Ben Williamson’s butt, which scored the go-ahead goal. The butt in question is the second-highest scoring ass of League Two, after Josh Windass, who has 10....

Someone Please Teach Blake Bortles The Rules Of Football
Blake my friend, you have to pass it before you go past the line of scrimmage. I understand that the blue line on the broadcasts isn’t on the field, but c’mon man, this is at least four yards past the line. You got it? Cool....

Illinois AD On Coach He Just Rehired: "It's Not Ideal"
Illinois ended their football season with a 24-14 loss to in-state rival Northwestern yesterday. At 5-7, they won’t make a bowl game, but the school re-upped the contract of head coach Bill Cubit after the loss for two more years. Illinois’ interim athletic director Paul Kowalczyk was, uh, not enthu...

Eli Manning Throws A Pair Of Tip-Drill Interceptions In Rapid Succession
Man, this is some piss-poor luck from Eli Manning. Shane Vereen is one of the best pass-catching running backs in the NFL, so this first pick is pretty inexcusable. The second toss maybe should have been picked, but Will Blackmon redeemed himself and scooped it up anyhow....

Good Sketch
I watched W/ Bob & David this week and went on a run of old Mr. Show sketches. The pre-taped call-in show is genius....

Senior Offensive Lineman Takes Carry, Uses Stiff-Arm, Scores Touchdown
Michigan State senior center Jack Allen lined up in the backfield today in the Spartans’ blowout over Penn State, and the 300-pounder made the most of his opportunity in finding the end zone while showing off some elite rushing skills. Happy Senior Day!...

Jerry Jones Says Rushing Tony Romo Back Was Worth it
Way back in September, when the Cowboys were 2-0 and looking like they could win a weak NFC East, Tony Romo broke his collarbone. The injury held him out for eight weeks, during which the Cowboys went 0-7. With the NFC East a shitpile at that point (for the record, it’s still a shitpile), the 2-7 Co...

Stoops Rhymes With Poops: Your Stillwater <i>College GameDay</i> Sign Roundup
ESPN sent the College GameDay crew to Stillwater for Bedlam, and the miserable weather led to what we can only assume was a smaller-than-usual crowd. They brought signs, though! Here are some of them:...

"Ahh...FUCK!" Audio Issues Lead Football Game TV Director To Broadcast Own Meltdown
Comcast SportsNet Chicago had some issues before today’s telecast of an Illinois state high school championship game between Auburn and Tri-Valley, and the director’s in-truck audio ended up going out over the air—which led to some very NSFW language being broadcast to the dozens and dozens we’re su...

That Makes No Sense, John Saunders
We’re all a little loopy today due to overindulgence, but we’re pretty sure John Saunders butchered whatever he was trying to say about LSU riding Les Miles out of town on a rail—which has nothing to do with trains, anyway....

Western Michigan defensive back Asantay Brown left the field on a stretcher after being targeted with a blindside hit to the head by Toledo’s Alonzo Russell....

Report: Johnny Manziel Told His Friends To Lie To The Browns About Partying Video
Last weekend a video surfaced of the Browns then-starting quarterback Johnny Manziel holding champagne while at a party. Normally that’d be no big deal—who cares that he’s having fun during the bye week—except that Manziel went to rehab earlier this year, presumably because of a drinking problem....

How Towson University Handled Its Locker Room Recording Scandal
Forty days after members of the Towson University women’s swimming and diving team discovered a phone recording them in their locker room, most details about the incident remain unknown to the public. But behind the scenes, the school was working feverishly—and not always entirely effectively—to dis...

Crying Browns Fan Gets Real Emotional Over Johnny Manziel
What we have here is a Browns fan named Bill calling into the Bull & Fox sports radio show in Cleveland and getting choked up on the air....

Here's What To Do When You Barf In The Car
My guest this week on the official Ask a Clean Person podcast is Freddy Hernandez, a/k/a Tavarish, of Jalopnik fame, who joined me in the studio to lend his expertise to more of the messes you all are making of your cars. And boy, are you ever making some messes!...
