That time came in the third quarter of Friday night’s game against the Miami Heat; in related news,...
We Talked To Marshall Faulk About Retirement, Donnel Pumphrey, And Angry Pats Fans
Marshall Faulk picked in an inopportune time to dredge up his 2002 Super Bowl beef with New England.

Goodbye To Javier López, The Giants' Unsung Badass<em></em>
The San Francisco Giants won three World Series between 2010 and 2014, and each was nerve-wracking in its own way. In 2010 they qualified for the postseason on the final day, and had an inordinate amount of playoff games decided by a single run; in 2012 they went down 0-2 in the NLDS and 1-3 in the ...
Let Us Now Praise The Patriots' Super Bowl Defense
Much of the blame for the Falcons’ monumental choke job in Super Bowl 51 fell on Kyle Shanahan for his aggressive play-calling, and that’s fair.

Austrian TV's Super Bowl Highlight Reel Is Much Better Than Anything Fox Produced
Super Bowl LI was an incredible game that featured a historic comeback and two of the greatest catches in Super Bowl history. But you might not get a sense of how bonkers the Patriots’ unholy comeback was from watching the limp highlight reel that FOX played at the end of the game. If you want the g...

Donald Trump Is The Ultimate Frontrunner

Gisele Was The Only Good Fan
Think back to last night’s broadcast: Did you see many crowd shots that didn’t focus on celebrities? Did you see any? You did not, and you never do at the Super Bowl, because the NFL allocates the vast majority of tickets to corporate sponsors. There just aren’t that many actual fans of either team ...
