Dolphins Lineman Richie Incognito Is Big-Time Man-Crushing On Jake Long To Woo Him Back To Miami
Jake Long, the No. 1 overall pick by Miami in 2008, is presently an ex-Dolphin, via free agency. This does not sit well with Richie Incognito, the fellow Dolphins o-lineman (above, right). Long (above, left) may have been banged up with sundry injuries the past couple of years, but if he would come ...

The National Sport Of Afghanistan Is Called Bukkake, According To Clueless Pittsburgh Sports-Talk Hosts
Ron Cook and Vinnie Richichi hold down the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. slot on Pittsburgh's 93.7 The Fan. Four hours can be a lot of time to fill for five days a week, even in a town with a hockey team on a winning streak, an NCAA-bound college basketball team, the Steelers just being the Steelers, and someth...

Why Is One Of The NBA's All-Time Greatest Scorers Working As A Crossing Guard Now?

This Atlantic 10 Tournament Game Had One Of The Craziest Endings You'll Ever See
Shit got weird at the end of the Charlotte-Richmond game today. With five seconds remaining in the game, Richmond was up by three as Charlotte's Pierria Henry, who had just been intentionally fouled in order to prevent a made three-pointer, stepped to the line for a one-and-one. Henry sank the first...

"A Women Kissing A Nerd," "Beyonce Girating Her Vagina," And Other Angry Complaints To The FCC About The Super Bowl
Beyoncé is a "slut." She "gyrated her pelvis," "humping the air for 13 minutes." She "dressed like a stripper" dancing in "erotica fashion." Her "breasts protruded out, her butt almost completely showed." She "showed her vaginal area to all the world." Some people had very different reactions to the...

The "Icing The Kicker" Menace Has Spread To MLS
On Sunday, the Red Bulls found a new way to lose a game. (I don't know if MLS keeps that record, but New York surely owns it.)

MMA Fight Ends In Double-Knockout 14 Seconds Into Fight

Why Is Dennis Rodman At The Vatican? He's Being Paid By A Betting Company, Of Course
When Dennis Rodman flew to Rome on the heels of a Vice-organized trip to North Korea (a week later the DPRK abandoned a 60-year-old ceasefire agreement, so, strong work), we all kind of assumed that this was part of Rodman's new career as a diplomat. The selfless Worm, just working for international...

Dwight Howard Responds To Heckler With A Lame "Yo Mama" Joke
Dwight Howard did more than blow kisses at Magic fans last night. Late in the third quarter, Howard found himself being heckled by a fan seated near the basket, and he responded with a comeback from the always reliable "Oh yeah, well I fucked your mom!" catalog....

Dwight Howard Dunked, Then Blew A Kiss To Magic Fans
Naturally, Dwight Howard's season-high 39 points came in his only visit to Orlando this season, a 106-97 Lakers victory. Serenaded by boos and greeted by signs ("Dwight Coward" was a personal favorite), Howard returned the love after this slam, wholly set up by Steve Nash drawing two defenders. A ki...

Spring Breakers Arrested On Camera For Being Spring Breakers: "Roll Tide!"
This just might might be the most unintentionally hilarious important newscast of the year. It was the top story this morning on WJHG, the NBC affiliate in Panama City, Fla., and it's easy to see why: The arrest of "dozens" of people for the dastardly crimes of being young underage drinking and havi...

This Is Why Giving Gatorade Baths Indoors Is A Bad Idea
Not only did the Lady Knights fail to properly douse their coach in Gatorade after winning an NJCA district qualifying game, they placed him squarely atop a liquid death trap. At least they had enough sense to retreat from the puddle, unlike the would-be hero who comes dashing down from the bleache...

D-Backs Reliever Attempts To Buy Baseball Card, Gets In Testy Spat With Seller
You probably remember Brad Ziegler as the submarine-style reliever who pitched 39 consecutive scoreless innings to begin his rookie season with the Oakland A's. But what you probably don't know about Ziegler, who pitches for the Arizona Diamondbacks now, is that he is an avid baseball card collector...

Russell Westbrook Throws Up A Half-Court Shot That Is Total Nonsense
He was clearly trying to draw a foul here, and although he may have actually succeeded—Gary Neal's hands were right on Westbrook's chest when the shot went up—this shot was ill-advised. You can't really expect the referee to be ready to call a foul on a half-court shot with 18 seconds left on the s...
