Bad Molly Takes Colorado State Student On Insane, Masturbatory Rampage
We've heard of poppin' some molly and sweatin', but not popping molly, snorting some coke, car-jacking an ambulance, careening every which way through traffic, and then jerking off in the police station. That'd probably make for a better song, though....

The Rams' Balls-Out Special-Teams Play Was Brilliant Fun
Let's take the time to praise the enormous stones on the Rams' coaching staff for calling two of the most exciting and least anticipated trick plays of the season: a fake punt and, before that, a fake punt return. Each played a huge part in St. Louis's upset win over Seattle....
Rams Fake Punt From Inside Their Own 20 Is The Most Brazen Play Of 2014
We already saw the Rams fake a punt return today, but that's nothing compared to this silly fake punt pulled off with less than three minutes remaining, inside their own 20, and up by only two. If this doesn't work, it goes down in history as one of the stupidest decisions made on a football field...

The Rams Will Wear Those Sweet 1999 Throwbacks Tonight
St. Louis is breaking out the 1999 throwback uniforms for Monday Night Football tonight, and goddamn, it brings back some fond memories.

Denver Mayor Doesn't Know CSU Coach's Name; CSU Coach Gets All Sad

ESPN Was Dumb, But Michael Sam's Showering Habits Do Matter
The player didn't want to shower with his team. He was from the wrong side of the culture, and while he could share a field and a depth chart with his teammates, the locker-room shower was too intimate and thus too fraught a space. ...
"You're Gay?" Michael Sam Asked The Writer, And Then The Mask Dropped
Earlier today, we republished a profile of Michael Sam that originally appeared in Out Magazine. Within the story, there is a moment when Sam realizes that the reporter he's talking to—grudgingly—is gay. The mask drops, and you can almost feel his relief radiating off the page. From the story:...
