Remember When Congress Used To Hold Dumbass Baseball Hearings?
Reason.tv, looking for a way to celebrate opening day, put together this fun video recounting the United States government’s odd affinity for holding very official hearings to discuss the issues plaguing Major League Baseball. ...
Ref Cancels Penalty, Brings Back Red Carded Player After Change Of Mind
This whole situation is pretty nutty, so we're going to have to get into this. The short version is, referees getting calls right is good, but not after they've already made a wrong call and definitely not when it's thanks to an assistant doing something he shouldn't....

Shaun Livingston Swings His Arm Into Dirk Nowitzki's Junk
Hmmm. Shaun Livingston is not someone you typically associate with goonish behavior, but here’s Livingston taking a swing at Dirk Nowitzki’s brat and two veg during the Mavs-Warriors game Saturday night. ...
Goalie Doesn't Know Shootout Started, Still Makes Save
Former and maybe future NHLer Paul Bissonnette is currently playing in the AHL for the Manchester Monarchs. He posted a pretty funny video on Instagram from the team’s shootout against the Hartford Wolf Pack earlier today. Apparently it was so loud at Hartford’s XL Center that the Manchester goalie—...
Professional Soccer Team Somehow Fails To Score On 5 vs. 1
Down 0-1 in stoppage time yesterday in a Swiss Super League match against Young Boys, FC Vaduz sent nearly everybody forward in attack. When that attacked was repelled, it left Vaduz facing what you see in the thumbnail above: an unprecedented five on one for Young Boys. But with a wealth of profita...
Andrew Brandt Has Another Unfunny Twitter Joke
In September we were tipped off to the Twitter account of then-ESPN reporter Andrew Brandt (it isn’t clear where he works now, but he’s popped up at MMQB a lot lately), where he made the same joke about over and over and over and over again. We said he needed to find a new Twitter joke, and it seem...
This Tim Howard Save Is Amazing
Tim Howard has earned a good amount of criticism for his play this season, but there’s no denying his save in the first half today against Southampton was top-class: ...
Radio Dummy On Female NFL Ref: "It's The Wrong Place To Put A Woman"
Kevin Kiley hosts a morning sports radio show in Cleveland, and today he wanted to talk about the NFL’s decision to hire a female referee for the first time ever. The first few minutes of the conversation, embedded below, are nothing special. Kiley just kind of dances around the topic for a while an...
No One Invited You, Chris Brown
Something kinda weird happened yesterday: A remix of Beyoncé's "Jealous" featuring none other than known garbage man Chris Brown randomly popped up on the internet. It's odd, because Beyoncé would presumably and rightfully never work with C-Breezy. His bland verse offers nothing to the song, and the...
Dong Pizza With Mushroom Balls Makes Way To South Bend Television
South Bend NBC affiliate WNDU covered bigoted pizzeria Memories Pizza on its evening newscast tonight, highlighting the hundreds of thousands of dollars anti-gay extremists have donated to the restaurant’s GoFundMe campaign as well as the vandalism that tolerance-seeking enthusiasts have posted to M...
Colin Cowherd Has Some Thoughts On Concussions And Knee Injuries

<i>Another</i> Soccer Team Gets Scored On While Celebrating A Goal Of Its Own

Former Bucs GM: We Spied On Justin Blackmon's Favorite Bar For A Week
I rolled my eyes at the claim that an unnamed NFL team had shadowed Jameis Winston on a flight—surely lots of teams had scouts flying into and out of Indianapolis around the combine. But maybe it’s not so crazy. Former Tampa GM Mark Dominik admitted that in 2012, the Buccaneers dispatched a scout to...
Bo Jackson Had To Explain Who He Was To This Dumb Child
Bo Jackson has been hanging out at the White Sox spring training facility this year, acting as an instructor and imparting wisdom on dumb young people. Today’s lessons was for Drake LaRoche, the teenaged son of White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche, who needed a little crash course on who exactly Bo...
<i>Golf Digest</i> Embraces The Power Of Men Leering At Boobs
The cover of this month’s issue of Golf Digest features LPGA tour golfer Lexi Thompson wearing a—golf towel? Cut up shirt? Weird scarf?—and not much else. It’s the “Fitness & Power Issue,” which I guess has something to do with side boob....
Brazilian Player Red Carded For Flipping Double Bird At Booing Fans
Internacional's Fabrício is sort of like the Brazilian soccer league's Ron Artest, apparently. In his newest display of losing his mind on the pitch, the full back stopped playing in the middle of a game to shout at fans for booing him, then waved two middle fingers at his verbal assailants before t...
Anthony Bennett, My Friend, What Are You Doing?
You know, it’s been a while since we’ve checked in on former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett, the guy who last year turned in one of the saddest rookie campaigns in history. Maybe things are finally starting to look up for him! ...
How To Get A Chill Cat
So you’ve decided to get a pet. Maybe you’re hankering for some furry companionship to perk up the lonesome evenings. Perhaps you’re attempting to plug an emotional gap in your life by saving some of god’s non-edible creatures. Or maybe you just want to strike back at those people clogging up your I...
Heroic Chicagoan Escapes Tyrant Tow Truck
We are all born into and struggle against the confines of a system that denies our individuality and seeks to limit us. Some struggle more effectively than others....
