How To Cook Bivalves, The Life-Affirming Pain In The Ass
Listen. Life is hard. You're tired all the time, you're overworked and underpaid, you never have enough time for anything and no one loves you and your hair, seriously, what are you even going for with that look, because it is not working. Most evenings, it's all you can do to doze off into a bow...
<em>Crowd Goes Wild</em> Has A Tebow Jar

How To Make A Decent Goddamn Margarita, For Once
People avoid all sorts of boozes for all sorts of reasons. Maybe you're too broke for Scotch or too smug for vodka. Maybe beer bloats and disappoints you. Perhaps the smell of bourbon reminds you of Grandpa's special beatin' shoe. Or maybe you're like I used to be, and you associate tequila with fr...
Here's Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Beating Hulk Hogan At Arm Wrestling
This really did happen this morning at Fan Expo in Toronto. Rob Ford, who smokes crack cocaine, somehow didn't trip on his shoelaces as he removed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves. And while there's no way to know for sure, I kinda think the Hulkster took a dive....
What The Fuck Is Mike Florio Talking About?
Florio is on an absolute roll today. After spending the morning carrying the NFL's water up and down the page like a good shill is supposed to, he went and dumped this pile of crap on his website....
How ESPN Pulled A Bullshit Colin Kaepernick Story Out Of Thin Air
By pulling out of its partnership with Frontline, ESPN reminded us, yet again, where its newsroom stands. It's second fiddle to the company's business interests. So, let's show you what the flagship show of ESPN's newsroom does in lieu of participating in a documentary that the NFL is afraid of. It...
Confused Hawk Harrelson Gives His Best Home Run Call
In the 12th inning of last night's White Sox-Royals game, White Sox third baseman Connor Gillaspie sent a shot deep into right field. After watching the ball clear the fence but carom back onto the field of play, White Sox play-by-play man Hawk Harrelson was unsure about unleashing his signature hom...
ESPN Producer: We Made "Conscious Decision" To "Get In Bed" With PBS
So why the hell did ESPN pull out of its collaborative relationship with PBS and Frontline? PBS's statement says that ESPN news executives were supposed to have "editorial input" into the League of Denial documentary. ESPN's statement says the network backed out because it had no "editorial control"...

ESPN Pulls Out Of <em>Frontline</em> Concussion Investigation [UPDATE]
For a while now, ESPN's big alibi, the thing Bristol would trot out any time someone questioned the company's journalistic bona fides, was its joint investigation into NFL head injuries with PBS's Frontline. Now that's done with. PBS announced the news. It reports:...
Here's Bill Cowher Wearing Eye Liner In His Girlfriend's Rock Video
Bill Cowher has a girlfriend. She fronts a hard rock band. Her name is Queen V. Below is a video Queen V released in June. Bill Cowher is in the video. Bill Cowher is wearing eye liner. I can confidently speak for Yinzers everywhere when I tell you nothing makes sense anymore....
How Jadeveon Clowney Became A Folk Hero
South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney got The New York Times long-form treatment yesterday, with writer Greg Bishop hieing himself to Rock Hill, S.C., to get a snapshot of Clowney's upbringing. It's an important story, because it finally attaches a prologue to a figure whom most of the coun...
Last Night On Fox Sports 1: The Worst Sports Panel Discussion Ever
Above, Donovan McNabb, Andy Roddick, and Gary Payton discuss Ichiro's legacy and—I don't even know. This is such a mess. Roddick can barely speak. McNabb is really into doubles? I'm not convinced they know who Ichiro is. Everyone had a stat or fact or two to memorize and they can't pull that off. F...
Here's How The Jets Train Their Players To Be Boring With The Media
Yesterday Jets players went through media training, where they were taught things like "body language." During the session, they were also handed a list of "media bridges," which I'm guessing are a bunch of really horrible, studiedly dull transitions to use in conversation with reporters. The photos...
Kevin Smith "Didn't Want No Fucking Bitches" In Lions Locker Room
We ran the "Why Your Team Sucks" preview for the Lions a week or so ago, featuring the usual assortment of aggrieved fan email. But one story, in particular, was too good to bury in that post. Here now is a reader describing her encounters with former Lions running back and eternal PUP lister Kevin...
Paul Konerko Scores Because Wall At Kauffman Stadium Eats Baseball
The White Sox are last in the AL Central, and last in the AL in runs scored. Perhaps they should have thought of this strategy sooner....

Pedro Alvarez Scored On His Own Single
Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez, all 6-foot-3, 235 pounds of him, is not known for his baserunning—or for much of anything besides hitting home runs and striking out. But he managed to circle the bases last night on an ordinary single because Padres right fielder Chris Denorfia did this. ...
Twins Third Baseman Betrayed By Own Glove
Trevor Plouffe made a damn good play here, at least initially. He dived to his left to stop Juan Lagares's sharply hit grounder, then ... nothing. Plouffe's glove refused to give him the ball....

Ball Girl Forgets She's Not Supposed To Catch Foul Balls
I suppose, in the heat of the moment, it's possible to forget that a pop-up is still playable when it is in foul territory. Once baseball players start running right at you, though, I kind of feel like you should know to get out of the way. Not this lady....
