Tim Duncan And Tony Parker Mock-Executed Their Referee Nemesis Joey Crawford On Halloween
From what we can tell, this photo only started making the rounds yesterday, even though the Spurs night out on Halloween had been well-documented otherwise. These are the same costumes Tim Duncan and Tony Parker wore then—Duncan as the Punisher, because of course he'd pick a relatively obscure comi...
Bill Murray Is Better Than The Oscars
About 10 months ago, Gawker's Rich Juzwiak put together on his personal site what has to be the most useful, repeatedly entertaining animated GIF I've ever seen. It's simple, basic, and genius: merely a look at the reaction shots of every Best Actor and Best Actress nominees in the seconds after the...
For Some Reason, Here's A Picture Of Larry King And His Wife Hanging Out With Chan Ho Park And Psy
Why are legendary talk show host Larry King and his wife hanging out with "Gangnam Style" creator Psy and baseball pitcher Chan Ho Park? The noted Dodgers fan clearly likes hanging out with superstar Korean rappers. One swept the world with his hit "Gangnam Style," and the other poked himself in th...
Man Gets Kicked Out Of Bills Game, Dies
A man who'd been ejected from Ralph Wilson Stadium last night was found dead early this morning, the Buffalo News is reporting....
Tony Parker Crossover Leaves Raymond Felton Confused
In fairness to Felton, it looks like he was anticipating the screen from Tim Duncan, and that he was trying to avoid it. Felton eventually figured out where Parker was going about an hour later, but the Knicks still won. They're now 6-and-fucking-0....

The Wizards Went To Six Flags, And Emeka Okafor Was Too Tall To Ride The Roller Coaster [UPDATE]
Last night saw a party for Washington season ticket holders at Six Flags America—a night spent going on rides with and getting autographs from all their favorite Wizards, and Cartier Martin too. Reader Mike was there, and he saw something he'd never seen before: a person being turned away from a rid...
The Giants' Pennant Run Ended Right As Rain
How many LCS clinchers, not involving your team, do you actually remember? Carlos Beltran standing stock-still, Aaron Boone going deep, Sid Bream's slide, Chris Chambliss's homer...and that's probably about it. It's probably fair to add last night's Giants win, a 9-0 drubbing that was decided by th...
Beer Of The Week: Australia's Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale
When I dropped the six-pack of Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale on the counter at the liquor store, the clerk immediately began singing its praises, in what sounded like an Australian accent. This was pure happy coincidence, best I could tell....
Russell Wilson Getting The Football Snapped Into His Ass Summed Up The Seahawks' Offense
San Francisco 13, Seattle 6: Oh, this was not for the faint of heart. Yet another low-scoring NFC West scramble for yards, points, and general attention span of all those who bore witness to this borefest. Alex Smith and Russell Wilson both threw ill-timed and sloppy INTs that could've titled the re...

Bobby Valentine Fell Off His Bicycle Into A Waterlogged Ditch
Bobby Valentine was riding his bicycle around the Central Park Reservoir and then—what do you know—he fell into a ditch:...
13 Years After Safeco Field Opens, The Mariners Move The Fences In
The Mariners announced today that they're moving the fences in at Safeco Field. 13-year-old Safeco Field. The same Safeco Field where Ken Griffey and Bret Boone and Edgar Martinez played. The stadium that hosted Cal Ripken's last All-Star Game. Weird, right? But it's actually the thing to do now....
Bill Belichick No Longer Owns A Park Slope Brownstone; Bill Belichick Owned A Park Slope Browstone
Ah, Park Slope: where diligently hip mothers push extravagant strollers into studiously low-key coffee shops, where you're nobody if you don't get your kale at the most organic of the four farmer's markets on your block, where you retire at 45 after your loosely-defined art collective produces no a...
Tonight's <em>South Park</em> Featured Tom Brady And Peyton Manning In Taking On Concussions And Replacement Refs
On the night we learned replacement officials are finally getting the heave-ho, Trey Parker and Matt Stone sent up Monday night's disgrace in Seattle alongside the brain injury debate in an NFL-themed South Park that also featured Tom Brady drinking semen and a mockery of Cee-Lo's shitty new NFL ...

ESPN Personality Rob Parker Pissed Off Every Intelligent Baseball Fan On The Internet Today [UPDATE]
Do you know who Rob Parker is? You probably don't because there's really nothing special about Rob Parker. He currently exists as a member of ESPN's stable of chuckleheads who are periodically rotated into duty on First Take, where their main job is to sit there and let Skip Bayless do his thing....
Ichiro Cleverly Hits The Ball Inside Pitcher's Jersey
We hear plaudits for Ichiro Suzuki a lot. He's consistent, he's one of the best baseball players of the past decade, he curses hilariously in the clubhouse before all-star games. Add a new one—he has such pinpoint control of the ball as it comes off his bat that he can make it essentially unfield-a...
"What's This Fucking Song?" How A Yankees Free Spirit Reluctantly Ushered In Baseball's Entrance-Music Era
Sparky Lyle's arrival in New York was nothing to get excited about. On March 22, 1972, the Boston Red Sox traded the good but nondescript lefty reliever to the Yankees for Danny Cater and a player to be named later. Ho-hum. But when he actually came into the games—that was something else. ...
The Quasimodo Of Fenway: A Creation Of The Devil, Keeper Of The Monster, Sad About The Red Sox
He keeps his watch at night, working the ancient machinery that signals to the public the fortunes of the times. Some call him a monster, but it is within the Monster he hides from the visitors who curse him for the bad news he brings evening after evening. Some say he has gone deaf from the vitrio...
Another Giants-Dodgers Series, Another Fan Assault
Despite the heightened police presence at AT&T Park, a regular measure since Bryan Stow was beaten into a coma in Los Angeles last year, there was another incident over the weekend. Christopher Torii Smith, 26, was arrested after assaulting a fan in the bathroom during Sunday's game against the Dodg...
