Man Loses Fantasy Football Bet, Does Worst Al Pacino Impression

Trainer Picks Worst Time To Claim His Fighter Will KO Pacquiao
Manny Pacquiao beat the hell out of Chris Algieri on his way to retaining his welterweight world title this weekend. Pacquiao won a unanimous decision, thanks in large part to the fact that he knocked Algieri down six times in 12 rounds. One of those knockdowns was accompanied by some ill-timed yet ...

Where Were You For "Malice At The Palace?"
It was 10 years ago tonight that the Pacers and Pistons came to blows, sparking the strangest, scariest, and still, today, the most improbable NBA happening of our lives. Players fighting fans in the stands; fans fighting players on the court. It was unforgettable....

I mean, they tried. They really did try....
Suit: Seattle Arena Soccer Team Owner Sexually Preys On Cheerleaders

Mike McCarthy Trips Over A Cord, Loses It
This is just proof that tripping over a cord really is one of the most aggravating things in the world. Even when you're watching your team sail to a 55-14 victory, a poorly placed cord can turn you into Bobby Knight....
Brett Favre Was The Third Choice For <em>There's Something About Mary</em>
Brett Favre's memorable cameo in There's Something About Mary wouldn't have happened if the Farrelly Brothers had gotten their way (and if Drew Bledsoe hadn't injured a woman stage-diving at an Everclear concert)....
The SEC Really Does Benefit From Media Bias In Polls

Paul George Recovering Quickly, Already Swishing Jumpers
After Paul George horrifically broke his leg on August 1st, all reports said that he was expected to miss the entirety of the upcoming season.

The Packers Are Laying The Beatdown Of The Season On The Panthers
Carolina-Green Bay is into the third quarter, and the Panthers are just about flatlining. Green Bay went up 21-0 in the first quarter, and have it at 35-3 in the third. Short of the miraculous, this is already one of the blowouts out of the season. ...

Not Even His Receivers Knew Aaron Rodgers's Fake Spike Was Coming
It wasn't quite a Dan Marino redux in Miami, as Aaron Rodgers's fake spike, which fooled as many Packers as it did Dolphins, didn't come on the winning touchdown. (It merely put Green Bay in prime position for that on the next play.) But we'll never not stop to appreciate an elegant bit of footb...
Pac-12 Officiating Coordinator Tony Corrente Resigns

This Demented Letter About A Packers Party Is In Comic Sans, Of Course
Green Bay Press-Gazette editor Amy Bailey wrote her Oct. 1 column about an incident at a Packers viewing party she attended. It was straightforward: A man said, "It's a big ol' nigger pile," during a fumble, and Bailey called him out for saying a racist thing. Because yes, calling a scrum for a foot...
