"OMG! He's Got A Gun!" The UMass Post-Super Bowl Riot, As Commentated By Two Very Sheltered Young Ladies
We're not sure what's the best part of this video: the UMass students rioting because the Patriots lost, or the two women commentating on the action. (That they couldn't figure out how to shut the camera off should tell you all you need to know about them.) We're told this is actually the second r...

Mike Brown Earned His Ejection With This On-Court Meltdown
The rage came forth from Lakers coach Mike Brown in the final period of L.A.'s 96-87 loss to the Jazz tonight in Salt Lake City.

Youth Basketball Coach Tells Kid Wrong Time To Show Up For Playoff Game Because He Stinks

"Dumb Fuckers" Attend University Club Fair, Student Paper Reports
Unlike the inexplicable floating fuck in the Greenville News's story on the SEC Title Game, we have a pretty good idea of how the Suffolk Journal ended up running this subhed yesterday.

Here's Aston Villa's Ridiculous Own Goal That Put QPR Up 2-0
It's been another mediocre season for Aston Villa, and no play may characterize the struggles of the claret and blue squad than this play, in which Stephen Warnock cleanly lands a header directly into his own net.

Ray Ferraro called TSN's broadcast of Leafs/Penguins tonight, and as sometimes happens with online streams (in this case, the NHL's GameCenter Live), viewers watching during televised ad breaks were treated to a live mic.

Bill Belichick Was Once A Starter Jacket Model
Bill Belichick has been so successful as the head coach of the Patriots, it's easy to forget he spent five years in charge of the Browns in the early 1990s. Or that four of those seasons in Cleveland ended with losing records, including '95, when the team more or less mailed it in after then-owner ...
A Madman Handcuffed Himself To The Goal During The Everton-Manchester City Match
We've no clue the protest this man is engineering (his t-shirt says something about Irish airline Ryanair) but the Everton-Man City match was put on hold for about five minutes as police attempted to unchain this hooligan from the goal. It's a good thing he chose the opposite end from Tim Howard;...
