Somebody Please Tell The Colorado Rockies The Inning Is Over
When a team is nearly 30 games under .500 and in the midst of getting swept at home for the sixth time this season, it can feel like the misery never ends. So it was on Sunday afternoon in Denver.

Jerry Jones: "I Want Me Some Glory Hole"
Hoo fucking boy, this is wonderful. Jerry Jones, while discussing the sense of urgency and pressure of being a Dallas Cowboy, mentioned how he yearns for the glory holes of yesteryear.

NASCAR Announcer Cannot Remember His Broadcast Partner's Name

The Murdoch Mad Genius Who Gave Us Game Scores, A Dancing NFL Robot, And A Glowing Hockey Puck Is Leaving Fox Sports

Reporter Calls Mark Sanchez "Tim"
For a reporter, training camp is the worst. The rosters are huge, and a third of them aren't even going to break camp with the team, so unless you get a player in front of his locker and nameplate, you might have no clue who you're actually talking to. But if there's one screwup you don't want to ...

Bob Kraft's Girlfriend Didn't Get The Part In That Movie, Despite Her Weird Bikini Audition
It's important to remind everyone that Ricki Lander's audition for The Internship did not require a bikini, nor playing off a 71-year-old man, but she thought it would better her chances to include both.

Carlos Gomez Completely Rounded The Bases Before Learning His Home Run Sailed Foul
Brewers centerfielder Carlos Gomez had reason to be excited here.

Pac-12 Football In A Nutshell: Reporter Addresses Coach By Name Of Guy Who Left Ten Years Ago
After the madness of SEC Media Days, the other FBS conferences' pre-season football bazaars tend to be a bit more understated.

Martin Prado Swings, Misses, Stumbles, Falls On His Ass
No one's going to remember that Martin Prado drew a walk to lead off what turned out to be a scoreless seventh for the Braves last night.

A Comprehensive Video Timeline Of The WWF, WCW, And The Monday Night Wars
