Sports Radio Host Loses His Mind When Nobody Can Answer His Dumb Trivia Question
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo was once the broadcast partner of Mike Francesa, our other favorite sports radio goober, but now he’s just a dude who yells a lot on his own radio show. “Yelling” can mean different things depending on who is doing it, and in Russo’s case it means, “Man who is clearly at the en...
Karl-Anthony Towns, Who Is Awesome, Did A Bunch Of Cool Shit Last Night
I’m sort of embarrassed at how little we’ve talked about Karl-Anthony Towns on this here website. We’ve heaped plenty of deserved praise on fellow rookie Kristaps Porzingis, but Towns has been just as thrilling (and more productive) in his first NBA season. So, let’s drool over some of the things he...

Radio Dummy On Female NFL Coach: "There's No Place For A Woman In Professional Sports, In Football, Coaching Men"
Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley clearly has a problem with women. Last year, he shared some extremely dumb thoughts about the NFL’s first female referee, saying that the NFL was the “wrong place to put a woman.” He has very similar thoughts on the Bills’ decision to hire Kathryn Smith as a f...
ESPN Screwup: "Umm... I Think I... Yeah, Something Happened There."

Philly Radio Dipshit Calls Jason Kelce A "House Negro"
Sports radio is full of terrible morons who use their short tempers to draw out a two-minute topic into a 10-minute segment. (Examples can be found here, here, here, and here.) The only acceptable sports radio is Mike Francesa taking 40 minutes to name all the stops on the 7 train, and presumably th...

In an unforeseen twist, things calmed down considerably after one of the coaches rushed onto the i...
Kevin Durant To The Media: "I Actually Do Love You Guys"

Kenny Florian Plagiarizes For UFC Article; Fox Sports Calls It An "Oversight" [UPDATE: Florian Suspended]

CNN Anchor Talks Powerball, Is Extremely Bad At Math
There’s a good chance that at some point this week your dumbest Facebook friend—Craig, I’m guessing—shared that stupid meme claiming that the $1.3 billion powerball jackpot could in fact solve poverty in America. Turns out CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo is just as dumb as that poor idiot Craig....
