Handball Player Freaks Out, Pulls His Pants Down After Opponent Kisses Him On The Cheek
We won't even pretend to know much about handball, but does this happen often? Ivan Stuffer was getting ready for some kind of handball play (we know that much!) when his opponent got very close to him. Close enough to smooch him on the cheek. As you can see above, Stuffer does not react well to k...
University of Minnesota Wide Receiver A.J. Barker Writes Scathing Goodbye Letter To Head Coach Jerry Kill, Alleging Abuse And Intimidation

Ed Hochuli Reviewed An Un-Reviewable Play And Then Said He Did Not Review It Because It Was Un-Reviewable
Cleveland unexpectedly forced Dallas to overtime, and after an incomplete pass to Miles Austin with 8:35 left to go in the extra period Cleveland called timeout—presumably to force a replay from the booth. Cleveland thought the play was a catch, fumble and Browns recovery. Almost immediately, CBS ...

Why Does Everyone Care Which Exit Lane Kiffin Used When He Left The Visitor's Locker Room Last Night?
Yesterday afternoon's much-hyped grudge match between USC and UCLA went in the Bruins' favor immediately, and for good; the score was 24-0 midway through the second quarter, and, despite a spirited comeback to bring the Trojans within three, UCLA won by 10. The Bruins have the better record in the P...
The Mismanaged, Crazy Jets Might Be Keeping Tebow On The Bench Because They Can't Afford The Incentives In His Contract
One of the great things about the Jets this year—the only great thing, perhaps—is that by dealing for Tim Tebow, emphasizing the extent to which they'd use him (they said it would 25% of snaps), and not using him nearly that much (it was 10.1% before week ten and inched slightly higher after), they'...
Hey, David Canter? Peter King Is Trying To Get In Touch, So Here's His Phone Number
Yeah, we called. It rang only once, and then straight to voicemail: "It's Peter King. Leave a message." Very mellifluous. Maybe David Canter will have better luck?...
A Frustrated Neil Everett Muttered "Son Of A Bitch, Goddammitdangit" Live On <em>SportsCenter</em>
An apparently rough episode of SportsCenter got the best of anchor Neil Everett tonight, as going to break a hot microphone caught the personality muttering some mildly inappropriate language at the end of tonight's 1 a.m. show....
Four Months Later, ESPN Still Hasn't Cleaned Up Lynn Hoppes's Wikipedia Plagiarism
This isn't the proudest period for ESPN's news division. We've spent a lot of time talking about First Take and Tim Tebow, but there's another little something that ESPN still hasn't dealt with: What's up with all those Lynn Hoppes stories?...

We Love You, Verne Lundquist, But It's Time To Go
On this week's excerpt from Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast, Josh Levin makes a simple, fair case for why cuddly Verne Lundquist, CBS's lead college football play-by-play announcer, ought to call it a career. Lundquist makes a lot of mistakes on air. Levin captures many of them here. Listen up:...
Boston College Suspends Women's Soccer Player For Tweeting Penn State Sandusky Jokes
Boston College is scheduled to play at Penn State tonight in the second round of the NCAA women's soccer tournament.

Philly Weatherman Who Got Roofied And Robbed By Latvian Escorts Allegedly Shit His Pants
John Bolaris is nothing but a former Philly weatherman with a Twitter account. His real skill has always been his ability to keep his name in the city's gossip pages by turning up at some Center City nightspot with pretty young ladies on his arm. Bolaris is now unemployed and engaged to be married a...

Police Officer Suspended For Dunking His Head In A Bucket Of Urine At A Browns Game
Is your pride worth $450? That's how much one Browns fan earned from his friends for sticking his head into a bucket of human piss, before Cleveland's Week 6 game last month. He was none the worse for wear, and the Browns won, so it seemed like the man identified only as "Phil" wouldn't regret his...
Even ESPN Deportes Is Subject To The Tebowization Of The Worldwide Leader
ESPN's Tebow obsession—one that even weaves its way into college basketball broadcasts—is so broad, it even extends to affiliate networks, as we saw yesterday during Cronómetro, the ESPN Deportes version of Pardon The Interruption. Stuffed into the rundown amongst coverage of soccer and baseball ne...
Steve Young Gamely Tries To Explain That He Was Just Giving Rick Reilly A "Bro Stare"
Safe to say the one person who emerged from Rick Reilly's "I had that first on Twitter" debacle relatively unscathed was Steve Young, who at least had the presence of mind to get (by all appearances) seriously pissed off at Reilly's crowing over due credit, misguided as it was, with a death stare f...
Now Even ESPN's Announcers Are Mocking ESPN's Tebow Obsession
Bob Wischusen and Dan Dakich were calling Butler-Xavier game on ESPN this afternoon as part of the network's tip-off marathon coverage and—naturally—Tim Tebow came up.

The University Of Washington Has Put Twitter Restrictions On Media Members
Are you a college basketball or football writer who constantly tweets while covering games? Cut that shit out when you're at the University of Washington.
