A Mascot Showed Up At Adrian Peterson's Court Hearing Today

Hunter Pence Slams Into Fence To Rob Jayson Werth Of A Hit
It's not easy playing right field at AT&T Park. The wall is 24 feet high (in honor of Willie Mays), and it is made up of three different surfaces: brick, fence, and padding. A right fielder trying to play the wall has to figure out which surface the ball is likely to hit, and how hard (and where) it...

Adrian Peterson Blames Media For Reporting On Charity-Funded Orgy

It Took 36 Browns QBs 28 Seasons To Match Peyton Manning's 500 TDs
Peyton Manning reached 500 touchdown passes yesterday. Five hundred is an arbitrary number. (A nice, round number that enshrines him in the elite company of one, but arbitrary nonetheless.) How can you truly grasp the weight of an arbitrary number? Set it as the constant, and see how extreme the oth...

How Much Charity Did Adrian Peterson's All Day Foundation Do? [UPDATE]
Adrian Peterson's All Day Foundation has been described as focusing on at-risk children, particularly girls. But there's an interesting tidbit buried within a lengthy Star Tribune takeout on the indefinitely suspended running back that's worth a lot more attention than his sex life, which is the foc...
Bucs WR Louis Murphy Flagged For Inappropriate Language
The NFL's battle against words continues. Buccaneers receiver Louis Murphy was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after a Tampa Bay touchdown. Here's the on-field audio. Can you figure out when Murphy uses inappropriate language? We don't hear it....
Yusmeiro Petit Was Essentially The Giants' Second Starter Last Night
Yusmeiro Petit has a weird position on the Giants. He was passable as a spot starter, but couldn't earn a place in a strong San Francisco rotation. The Giants don't need him to close out games, either, and Petit is capable of pitching longer than only an inning. But last night, in the longest MLB ...

How To Make Roast Pork Tenderloin, The X-Rated Cut Of Meat
There's simply no way around it: The pork tenderloin is weird-lookin'. It's shaped—well, dammit, it's shaped like a big ol' penis. You unwrap it from the butcher paper and you step back and you go, damn, man, this pork tenderloin looks like a dong. Can I manipulate this giant dong? This seems ...
Cardinals-Dodgers Game One Was An Awesome Thrill Ride
The two National League playoff series finally kicked off yesterday, and while the Giants-Nationals opener was a solid appetizer, we'll really only be remembering the satisfying main course between St. Louis and Los Angeles, a 10-9 win for the Cardinals. ...

Seventy-two years to the day from the first man-made object being sent into space, Bryce Harper mashed one hell of a tater....
Royals Catcher Salvador Perez Loves Annoying Lorenzo Cain
Royals catcher Salvador Perez has a habit of pestering teammate Lorenzo Cain by taking videos of Cain and posting them to his Instagram account. Occasionally, Cain reacts like Adrian Beltre does when someone touches his head. He really doesn't like when Perez calls him "hermanito."...
A Field Guide To American Truthers
There were no truthers back in the 20th century. I grew up in the Golden Age of Kennedy Assassination Conspiracies, but the word "truther" was never used to describe Oliver Stone or any of the other folks who decried the Magic Bullet theory. (DISCLOSURE: I saw JFK when I was in high school and took...
How Hulk Became The World's Most Underappreciated Superstar
If there's one good thing about the handful of great players plying their trade in Russia—and it would be the only good thing, mind you—it's that their home Champions League ties often start a few hours before the rest. That timeslot gives their abilities at least a modicum of the attention they des...
