Steve Smith Suffers Catastrophic Leg Injury (UPDATE: Torn Achilles)
Steve Smith just secured a place on the top 10 all-time career receiving yardage list today against the Chargers, then went down with this gruesome injury to what appears to be his right Achilles later in the game on a seemingly routine tackle. He left the field with his head covered in a towel. ...
Kirk Herbstreit Scared Shitless By Zombies
Chris Fowler played a wonderful prank on Kirk Herbstreit tonight, surprising the ESPN analyst with some characters from the Eastern State Penitentiary haunted house during halftime of tonight’s Notre Dame-Temple game. It’s the first time a zombie has been on Saturday Night Football since Eminem’s ap...

Andrea Bargnani Shoots An Air Ball, Nearly Kills His Coach
Thank God for Andrea Bargnani, the most hilariously inept player in the NBA. Here we are, just one game into the new season, and he’s already blessed us with another fantastic addition to his career lowlight reel....
Crowd Howls In Laughter After Humiliated Striker Misses Open Net
Ah, the distinct charm of lower league soccer. One second you’re awed by an inch-perfect, outside-of-the-foot 40-yard through ball sending a teammate clear on goal, the next you’re doubled over in laughter when the striker can’t walk it into the net....
What The Hell Was Kyle Schwarber Doing In Left Field?
Kyle Schwarber wasn’t the reason the Cubs lost Game 4. ...
Chinese Soccer Player Accidentally Kicks The Living Shit Out Of Teammate
Li Jianbin only had eyes for the ball. The rest of the world faded away and there was only the ball, Li, and the necessity for Li to punt the thing into orbit. But when his bicycle kick was completed and he fell to the ground, the only thing Li had succeeded in clearing was his Shanghai Shenhua team...
Injured Greek Soccer Player Gets Headbutted And Dropped By Incompetent Medic
Last night in the Greek second division, AEL Larissa beat Ergotelis 2-1 on two late goals. Both goals came after this medic here delivered some staggeringly poor medical attention to an injured Leonardo Koutris....
Police Question Johnny Manziel And Girlfriend After Roadside Argument
Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and his girlfriend Colleen Crowley were interviewed by Avon, Ohio, police Monday night after multiple people called 911 reporting they saw a couple fighting in a car....
Howie Kendrick Is Probably Still Looking For A Jeurys Familia Slider To Swing At
Sports tactics are easier to judge after the fact, of course, and I am not a big-league lifer, so take this with a grain of salt. Still, I can’t help but imagine that in years to come, when members of the 2015 Los Angeles Dodgers reflect on this season, they will shake their heads sadly, look into t...
Rutgers Loses Mind, Spikes Ball On Fourth Down
Hapless Rutgers somehow found themselves with a shot to tie up fourth-ranked Michigan State and force overtime in New Jersey. But that shot was wasted when confusion reigned and quarterback Chris Laviano spiked the ball instead of organizing a hail mary attempt. It’s as if for 59 minutes and 50 seco...

Roy Hibbert And Trevor Booker Had A "Fight"
Roy Hibbert is a giant doofus whose sole marketable skill is his ability to raise his arms above his head without falling over. Inconceivably, this once made him the greatest threat to LeBron James’s championship aspirations, but nowadays he is a great big sad hat stand with six fouls to give, and s...
Kobe Bryant Is Back, Motherfuckers!
Kobe Bryant played in a preseason game against the Jazz last night, and it was the closest he’s been to real NBA game action in nine months. In case you were wondering, he’s still Kobe:...
Washington State Tries Fake Punt, Gives Up Touchdown Instead
Washington State’s still holding onto a narrow lead over 24th-ranked Cal today, but this thoroughly ruined fake punt put the Bears back in the game. We don’t blame the Cougars for trying the fake—4th and 1 at midfield is prime time to go for it, really—but punters are not running backs....
Texas Player Tweets About Transferring During Halftime Of Blowout
TCU is currently sleepwalking through the second half of a seismic blowout over Texas in Fort Worth. Texas, despite almost scoring an upset against Oklahoma State last weekend, is at a true low point. It’s not entirely (or even mostly) coach Charlie Strong’s fault, but he is feeling the heat after a...
Now It's Manchester United's Turn To Embarrass England With Some God-Awful Defending
I’m almost at a loss for words. Again, an English team meets a Champions League foe they should really be beating, and again they go down thanks to some horrendous defending....
Arsenal Keeper Fucks Everything Up, Scores On His Damn Self

Nationals Cannot Stop Beating Selves, Allow Inside-The-Park Grand Slam
The Nationals really have no one to blame but themselves for probably losing their way out of a chance at the playoffs, and this play from tonight’s game against the 57-96 Phillies is a great example. Here’s Aaron Altherr driving home all three baserunners and himself thanks to a misplayed ball by M...
