Barcelona Take A Penalty The Normal Way, And Of Course Miss It
What some people who don’t pay close attention to the team may have missed regarding Barcelona’s trick penalty play this weekend is that, while primarily driven by a desire to do cool shit, it was also probably a reaction to the team’s general penalty woes this season.

Cleveland Radio Dummy Cries Censorship
When the Buffalo Bills made Kathryn Smith a full-time coach in January, Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley did not like the hiring. “She couldn’t possibly be qualified to the same level that a man could be qualified to do that,” Kiley said on his Jan. 21 show on 92.3 The Fan.

Hey How'd Your Fantasy Puppy Bowl Team Do? Mine Was Mostly Useless Garbage Dogs.
My cool team of puppies turned out to be a team of Star and two total losers.

Houston Rockets Decide As One To Just Not Play Defense

Doofus Caller Shows Up On Jim Rome's Set, Gets Run From Show In Person
The Jim Rome Show is still trudging along, a shadow of its former self ever since Rome’s choice to sign with CBS Sports Radio.
