Hero Defender Refuses To Give Up, Somehow Thwarts Certain Goal
Sure, the striker in this Greek lower-league match who somehow didn’t score despite having nearly all the time in the world is the easy scapegoat here, but let’s appreciate the defender’s hustle and never-say-die attitude in the face of impossible odds. He is the true star here....

Todd Bowles Forgot To Tell Ryan Fitzpatrick He Was Benched For The Season
After Monday’s blowout loss to the Colts, Jets head coach Todd Bowles told the media that Bryce Petty, who had come on in the third quarter for Ryan Fitzpatrick, would be the team’s starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

It's Bryce Petty Time
The New York Jets still have four games left to play, but last night’s no-show against the Colts was an effective and fitting end to their season. The Jets are 3-9 now, and whatever combination of luck and competence that got them to a 10-6 record last season is nowhere to be found....

Rams Can't Even Fair Catch A Punt Without Incident
All the Los Angeles Rams’ special teams unit had to do was catch a punt. That’s it. Just wave for the fair catch so Jeff Fisher’s offense can figure out a new way to go three-and-out. Instead, Pharoh Cooper had to deal with his own teammate laying a hit on him....

Maybe Not The Best Time To Dap Up Your Friend, J.R. Smith
Jason Terry is a nice guy and a great shooter. Who isn’t amused by his insane sock habits and propensity for bold tattoos? I’d love to chat with him. But the worst possible time for that chat would be right in the middle of a professional basketball game in which I was responsible for playing defens...

Bryant Basketball Player Dribbles Out The Clock After Forgetting His Team Is Losing
Somewhere in this chaotic scramble to end the Brown-Bryant game tonight, Bryant freshman Ikenna Ndugba lost his handle on the score of the game.

Football And Officials Go Flying In Wild Grey Cup Play
Ottawa is stomping Calgary in tonight’s Canadian Super Bowl, which is one of the most entertaining football events of the year but which gets next to no promotion or notice by ESPN, the CFL’s U.S. broadcast partner.

This Is Literally The Worst Miss In Soccer History
We’ve brought you a whole bunch of terrible misses over the years, and while all of them were affronts to the notion of soccer as an elegant, highly skilled sport, they were also, when looked at with an exceedingly sympathetic eye, at least sort of understandable. The above miss, in some Serbian low...
