Young Hockey Fan Gives Zero Fucks
Kid! There's some hockey going on right over there. Look at the hockey. Just turn your head a bit and...no? OK. The Metropolitan kind of sucks, I agree. And if I had a Brad Richards jersey, I'd be mad too. But seriously, those seats cost a ton of cash, you ingrate....

Missed Penalty Gave Pittsburgh A Touchdown (And Broke A Punter's Jaw)
Kevin Huber was a lock for the Pro Bowl. But the Bengals punter's tremendous year was cut short with a fractured jaw, suffered when he was blindsided by Steelers LB Terence Garvin.

Steelers Lineman Shoves Hand Into Opponent's Taint During Fumble Scrum
Steelers center Cody Wallace resorted to gross tactics during a scrum for a fumble, shoving his hand into the ambiguous butt/crotch area of Dolphins defensive tackle Randy Starks. (It happens at the 0:16 mark.) As you can see from the video, Starks obviously felt it....
Steelers Try To Return Missed FG For TD, Fail, Are Amusing Anyway
Perhaps inspired by Auburn's miracle win over Alabama, the Pittsburgh Steelers attempted to return a missed Caleb Sturgis field goal at the end of the first half today against the Dolphins. It didn't work, but it was hilarious....
Thornton Didn't Mean To Hurt The Guy He Tripped And Punched In The Face
When forward Shawn Thornton tripped Brooks Orpik and repeatedly punched him in the head, it sure looked like he knew what he was doing. How could he not have? Did the soul of Matt Cooke momentarily possess him? Did Angela Lansbury wave a queen of diamonds in his face? Is there any scenario in which ...
Brooks Orpik Carted Off After Shawn Thornton Punches Him Into The Ice
Brad Marchand was tripped in front of the Bruins bench and, as he skated by, James Neal drove his knee right through Marchand's head.

The NFL fined Mike Tomlin $100,000 for getting in the way of Jacoby Jones's kick return. The Steelers were not fined, but they may have to forfeit a 2014 draft pick or have their draft position altered. In the meantime, let the memes continue. Please enjoy Tomlin tripping the Islanders' Andrew MacDo...
New Footage Shows Mike Tomlin Stepping Toward The Field

UMaine Would Like To Pretend Jovan Belcher Was Never A Black Bear
The banner below currently hangs at the University of Maine's Alfond Stadium, proudly displaying the names and likenesses of some of UMaine's former players that made it to the NFL. A similar banner has been displayed for several years but according to a reader it was updated this year to remove the...
Why Wasn't Unconscious Le'Veon Bell Given A Touchdown?
Your first thought is, Oh man, he's dead. His head came off or his brains are scrambled and Heath Miller is trying to cover up the on-field camera because he's dead. And then your second thought is, What do you mean it's not a touchdown? His limp, vacated body totally collapsed across the plane! Foo...

Worst Coaching Staff Ever Stole Playbooks, Vandalized Own School
Last week, an assistant coach at a Tennessee high school was arrested after it emerged that he had vandalized his own fieldhouse in an attempt to fire up his team before the big game. He's not the only Keystone Kop on staff. Three assistants were apparently involved with the vandalism, and one is ac...
A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...

Before today's Lions-Steelers game, Pittsburgh let some of its opponents know that their pregame music hype session was goddamn annoying....
Football Coach Arrested For Vandalizing Own School To Inspire Team
The football rivalry between Marion County and South Pittsburg, both outside of Chattanooga, is a fierce one.
