T.J. Simers Trolled The Dodgers, And Matt Treanor Wanted To Fight Him
At the heart of it, a good percentage of sports columns are only about trolling. "What's wrong with Wes Welker?" "Jay Cutler just can't win."

Last night Andy Murry and Novak Djokovic played a 4 hour, 54 minute match, tied for the longest U.S. Open men's final ever. It was a gem.

Counterpoint: The Jets Brought The House Down
Let's get the ugly stuff out of the way first. I am a Jets fan. That makes me both very biased and not very bright. Now that that's settled, I would like to take umbrage with this, because it has been lodged in my craw all afternoon. Please note that this is not part of the the very excellent NFL R...

Look At This Asshole Yelling In Some Guy's Face Because He Wouldn't Sit Down At A Soccer Game
Apparently at Seattle Sounders games some people stand up the entire time as a show of support. That's cool, I guess. I'd prefer to sit in the seat for which I've paid, but to each his own.

Here's Rob Gronkowski Making An Ass Of Himself While Actually On The Field
We're used to seeing Gronk make a fool of himself on the dance floor or at bars, usually without a shirt on. Gronk flipped the script on us this week, though, after scoring a touchdown against the Titans. Gronkowski goes for his patented Gronk Spike and in all his excitement, it squirts out of his...

Camera Spontaneously Disintegrates While Cameraman Films Interview
