We Have A Contender For Worst Play Of The Season
Son, we recruited you to Western Kentucky to do one thing: punt the football. And you’ve done a hell of a job of punting that football this season. But what you did right here tonight, well, you did everything that wasn’t punting a football....
Lane Kiffin Has A Video Of Nick Saban Dancing At Karaoke And Selfishly Hasn't Shared It
There are several interesting tidbits in ESPN’s profile of Lane Kiffin today, but the best ones are those on Kiffin’s relationship with former boss Nick Saban. There’s this one, about Kiffin continuing to text the Alabama coach even though he knows he’s not ever going to get any response: ...
Opposing Goalkeepers Spend Game One-Upping Each Other's Tremendous Boners<em></em>
Saturday’s Sunderland vs. Millwall match finished 2-2, and all four goals were scored thanks to an array of increasingly mind-boggling goalkeeper boners that almost beggar belief. This is either the worst example of high-level goalkeeping ever, or an impressive display of just how shameless match-fi...
Giants Find Yet Another Way To Fail
Perhaps tired of seeing Eli Manning’s leadership of the New York offense come up dreadfully short, Giants coach Ben McAdoo called a toss for running back Shane Vereen and hoped he could give the team a lead with a tricky pass play. It went as well as any other McAdoo decision this year, with Vereen ...

The USMNT's Newest Teen Sensation Provides Hope, Teammate Snatches It Away
Today is the USMNT’s first game back on the pitch since The Loss. From the ashes of such a debilitating defeat, the young and relatively unheralded group interim manager Dave Sarachan put out to face Portugal had a chance to win back some of the fan base’s faith. Which they did! Until they didn’t....
Red Sox Player Has Perfect Game In World Series
Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts on Sunday bowled a perfect game at the World Series of Bowling, a Professional Bowlers Association tour event. The two-time All Star—who ESPN called a “bowling aficionado”—told ESPN he’d estimated it was his 10th perfect game in his life (but his first at a PBA event)...
The Year's Best Slapstick Comedy Is This Video Of Three Bumbling Soccer Ladies
Kudos to the lowlight reel maker here for backing this hilariously embarrassing moment from Wednesday’s Barcelona-Gintra Women’s Champions League match—which features one sort of big screwup followed by a ginormous one—with an appropriately vaudevillian score. We present: The Three Stoogettes....
The Giants Gave Up A Touchdown On Third And 33
It doesn’t get any easier for a defense than third and 33. Play as conservative as possible, keep everyone in front of you, and there’s no way the offense should be able to gain all they need....
Bundesliga Keeper Confidently Kicks An Old Memory Of The Ball
Sure-footed and not at all hungover Mainz keeper Robin Zentner made a curious and nearly catastrophic blunder today after lingering on possession for a beat or two too long in a match against Mönchengladbach:...
Todd Bowles Learns Of Jets Trade From Reporter At Press Conference
Right at the NFL trade deadline yesterday, the Jets acquired cornerback Rashard Robinson from the 49ers in exchange for a 2018 fifth-round pick. Also right at the NFL trade deadline yesterday, Jets head coach Todd Bowles held his daily press conference with reporters. Bowles wasn’t prepared to talk ...
The Cavaliers Stink!
Append all the ordinary caveats, of course: It’s October; they’re without Isaiah Thomas; they’re integrating what seems like a small army of new players; the East is so godawful shitty there’s basically no floor to playoff contention; and so on. Fine. But still. The Cleveland Cavaliers are not just ...
Team Concedes Penalty With Head-First Tackle
Berwick Rangers, a team that is actually based in England, plays in the fourth level of the Scottish Professional Football League. Yesterday they beat Cowdenbeath FC, 1-0, on a successful Michael McKenna penalty on the 80th minute. Normally not news that would make the sports blogs, if not for how B...
Travis Benjamin's Terrible Decisions Led To One Of The Worst Punt Returns Ever<em></em><em></em>
Los Angeles’s Travis Benjamin could have had only a minor miscue on his record if he had stayed where he was on the field after he picked up his own muffed punt, but nah, he had to try and create something better. In doing so, he inexplicably ran backwards almost 10 yards into his own end zone, gett...
Like Butch Jones's Career, Tennessee Hail Mary Pass Falls Just Short
Jarrett Guarantano connected with Jeff George on a 48-yard hail mary on the final play of Tennessee’s game at Kentucky Saturday night. The problem? The Volunteers started the play 51 yards away from the end zone....
Jake Allen Is Rudely Reminded That Ice Is Slippery
Blues goalie Jake Allen was doing just fine through the first half of last night’s game against Calgary, holding down the fort while his team took a 3-1 lead. But just when you think you’re safe, that’s when some devious frozen water will turn you into a fool. While trying to play the puck behind hi...
Innocent Beer Cruelly Destroyed By Neglect, Quincy Acy
What’s with this Nets fan, who just sits there and lets his beer get blasted to hell by an errant Quincy Acy pass? Hey, look alive, buddy!...
