On Jan. 13, 2014, a person with the Twitter handle @BeatinOff2Night—his current handle is @ChickenColeman2—tweeted a three-panel shot of him and a kid playing what appeared to be NBA 2K14. The game was evidently one-sided, but the caption was the best part:...

The NFL season is over, which means it's probably a good time for big-time NFL writers to go home and take a nap.

Russell Wilson Thought He Had It
You look at it again and again, on video taken from the field, in a still image from above, and you still can't quite grasp how it played out the way it did. Ricardo Lockette seemed wide open.

NBC Director Cut Away From Ball-Pooping Celebration To Protect Us
On Sunday, Doug Baldwin celebrated his touchdown to put the Seahawks up 24-14 by pooping the football. (Seattle never scored again. Curse of the poopball? Hmmmm.) Only, the dozens of millions of people watching at home never saw it, because NBC abruptly cut away....
Chris Pratt Photobombed Super Bowl Fans With A Sandwich Dick
Jimmy Fallon roped Chris Pratt and Chris Evans into a goofy bit where they snuck around and photobombed Super Bowl fans on some sort of red carpet. The results are actually pretty funny, but no moment was more inspired than Pratt busting out the sandwich dick. The sandwich dick always plays....

Last Night's Clippers-Nets Game Set A Record For Free Throw Futility
If you were fortunate enough to be in attendance at Barclays Center for last evening's Clippers-Nets matchup, you witnessed history.

NHL referee Tim Peel met with his fiercest critic Thursday night in New York City: Yahoo Sports NHL blog Puck Daddy's editor-in-chief Greg Wyshynski.
