FBI: Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam's Company Engaged In A Lot Of Fraud
Pilot Flying J, the truck-stop empire of which Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is the most prominent scion, had its Tennessee headquarters raided Monday by the FBI and IRS. Today, we know why: The Bureau says the company engaged in a five- to seven-year fraud, and that Haslam knew what was going on....
The Boston Bombing Witch Hunt Bags Another Innocent Kid
On Monday, the New York Post doggedly stuck to its claim that 12 were killed in the Boston Marathon bombings. On Tuesday, CNN (among others) reported that a suspect had been arrested, before walking that all the way back. Today, the Post wrests back the "what the fuck are you doing?" crown by puttin...
Today's Boston Bombing Media Shitshow, In 90 Seconds
Our friends at Gawker already took a stab at this, but we thought we'd condense today's mess of media reporting into something easily consumable for the crowd that may have been working and thus wasn't privy to the disaster taking place on television airwaves....
Marcus Vick Is Still Acting Like A Dumbass On Twitter
Why does Marcus Vick still have a Twitter account? You would think that somebody from Michael Vick's camp would have forced him to shut it down after he went on a "Trade my brother!" rant back in November. But no, Marcus is still using everyone's favorite social media platform to say horrible and st...

Sean Hannity Set A Boston Marathon Disaster Montage To Dr. Who Music
We thought it was bad enough when Sean Hannity led off his Fox News program tonight with a montage of Boston Marathon devastation that looked and sounded like the trailer for a Bay/Bruckheimer collaboration. Then we learned where the music came from....

At Deval Patrick's 9:00 press conference on today's bombings, the first question, the very first question, contained the words: "Is this another false flag attack staged to take our civil liberties?"...
Tony Gwynn Jr. Shows Us How Hecklers Should Be Dealt With

Brian Kenny Loses His Shit On Hawk Harrelson
Hawk Harrelson is the play-by-play announcer for the Chicago White Sox, and he is the worst. During Wednesday night's broadcast of the White Sox-Nationals game, Harrelson said some dumb things about Sabermetrics that essentially boiled down to this: Sabermetrics don't work and the only way to build ...
After Brawl, Matt Kemp Confronts Carlos Quentin In Parking Lot
Nobody was angrier about Carlos Quentin's decision to charge the mound and break Zack Greinke's collarbone last night than Matt Kemp. He was so angry, in fact, that he confronted Quentin in the parking lot after the game, and the two had to be separated by police officers. Thankfully, an AP photogra...
Tiger Woods Drops His First F-Bomb Of The Masters
Tiger Woods wasn't exactly angry at the result of his approach shot on the eleventh hole of his opening round at the Masters—I'd say he was more bemused—but that didn't stop him from dropping a big ol' f-bomb in range of NBC's CBS's microphones. Looks like he's having a good time out there, though!...

This Is The Best Photo You'll Ever See Of A Nats Fan Puking On His Friend's Shoe
This lovely picture comes to us courtesy of Noah Scialom, who shot it at the Orioles' home opener. There's just so much to like about it: the stream of vomit frozen perfectly in mid-air, the soft glow of the oncoming twilight, and the caring look of concern on the face of the puker's friend—who see...
Central Figure In Selena Roberts's Nothingburger Auburn Story Pleads Guilty
Mike McNeil, the central figure in Selena Roberts's much-bruited story about the University of Auburn football program, has pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery. He will serve at least three years in prison, nothing like the 21-years-to-life sentence he'd faced on the original charges. That brings...
Let's Watch This Drunk Blue Jays Fan Vomit Like A Champ
Man goes to baseball game. Man spends nine innings consuming what must have been copious amounts of alcohol. Man sends forth a river of vomit while trying to leave stadium. Man saunters off like nothing happened. Man probably feels much better....
Steelers Player Tweets Really Dumb Photo
Last October, Steelers nose tackle Alameda Ta'amu got wasted and decided to play bumper cars with several parked vehicles on Pittsburgh's South Side. Thursday, Ta'amu was sentenced to just 18 months' probation for it all. Last night, Ta'amu's friend tweeted the photo you see here, and Ta'amu re-twee...
Bob Knight Won't Speak About Mike Rice, And ESPN Says No Problem
This has been a terrific week for ESPN. Outside The Lines's bombshell on Mike Rice on Tuesday still has legs two days later.
