A Q&A With One Of The Best Sports Photographers To Ever Do It
The good people at Taschen have decided to show us more of sports photographer Neil Leifer’s work, and this is a very good thing. We’re in the thick of football season now, and I can think of no finer accompaniment than Leifer’s collection, Guts & Glory: The Golden Age of American Football, which tr...
Michigan State Wide Receiver Makes Wild One-Handed Catch Around A Defender
Michigan State is in the midst of what looks like it should be a comfortable home win against Maryland. Early in the second quarter, the Spartans’s Macgarrett Kings Jr. hauled in this left-handed catch in a tight window to give his team a first down....
Here's Ray Lewis Rapping, Sort Of, For Some Reason
Ray Lewis has dabbled in rap music before, but now he’s set his sights beyond the motivational football rap genre. Lewis has moved on to the Real Shit, one might say, and he’s got bars to spit about women and, uh, men, and like, uh, honoring women? I dunno, man, just listen:...
Joe Theismann Says He Did Not Tell A Man Looking For An Autograph To Grow Some Tits
On Nov. 2, someone on Twitter claimed that his uncle asked former Skins quarterback Joe Theismann for an autograph, and Theismann told the man to grow some tits. Wow, that’s harsh. Did Joe really do that? He responded today:...
That Feeling When You Think You Fucked Up But It All Works Out Anyway
I like to think that Philipp Schobesberger of Rapid Vienna helped an old lady carry her groceries up a couple flights of stairs last week and thus was karmically rewarded with this goal right here....
A More Honest Version Of Ben Carson's Rap Campaign Ad
As we noted earlier today, Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson has a rap campaign ad. We found the ad lacking a bit in some of the neurosurgeon’s more intellectual observations, though, and so we made him a new version....
Ben Carson Made A Rap Song For The Blacks
With the 2016 election now just a year away, presidential campaigns are finally getting down to serious business. As Barack Hussein Obama proved seven years back, there are oodles of black people in this country, and some even vote. The blacks are a valuable constituency, so it behooves each preside...
CBS Reporter Jamie Erdahl Reports Steve Smith Injury News She Got From A Fake Twitter Account
There’s nothing more ridiculous than fake Twitter accounts, but they persist because so many stupid people fall for them. One such person is CBS sideline reporter Jamie Erdahl, who quoted a fake Ian Rapoport report that Steve Smith’s injury was a torn Achilles tendon. The network had to quickly retr...
Pete Rose Is Leaving The World Series To Go Sign Autographs In Las Vegas
Did you like Pete Rose’s commentary work during the World Series? Well, either way, he didn’t work last night’s Game 4, and you won’t have a chance to see him work any more games for Fox. As it turns out, Rose left the booth rather suddenly—in the middle of the World Series—due to a “prior commitmen...
Steph Curry Is Even Better This Season
Last night, basketball’s best teeny-tiny point guard Steph Curry went up against the sexy pick to usurp him as league MVP, Anthony Davis, and put in the most impressive performance of this young season. He dropped 53 points on just 27 shots in 36 minutes, which is a gaudy efficiency, but remarkably,...
The Story Behind Bob Beamon's Miracle Jump And The Only Photo That Mattered
The man who took one of the most famous photos in Olympic history wasn’t a professional photographer. Tony Duffy was on vacation at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and with nothing more than an amateur’s bravado, he casually wandered into the Athletes’ Village—which should have been off limits to ...
This Is A Great Football Photo
The low-angle shot from behind a team deep in its own end is quickly becoming my favorite football photo. Here’s one from yesterday’s Patriots win over the Cowboys, taken by Getty Images’ Christian Petersen, showing God’s and Pepsi’s mighty grace shining down upon Touchdown Tom Brady. (I think there...
14 Times Jay Z Got Owned By Another Rapper, Usually On His Own Song
Sorry, but the Jay Z you all worship might not be as good as you think. Or maybe it’s just that he’s easily dwarfed by the guest verses on his own tracks. These days he’s more or less abandoned making new music, instead busying himself with buying up companies and brands and streaming services or, i...
Greg Hardy Made A Stripper-Heavy Rap Video While Suspended
Greg Hardy recently returned from a suspension that he earned for allegedly violently abusing his former girlfriend. He’s come back and has basically said all the wrong things, including that he’d return, “guns blazing.” You might recall he allegedly threw his then-girlfriend onto a bed covered in g...
Here Is What "Stuff" Means in Baseball
What is “stuff”? The New York Times devoted part of its Sunday front page to the question of what, exactly, the term means in baseball. It is, John Branch of the Times reported, an underexamined mystery of the game. ...
Watch The Mets Celebrate Clinching Through The Camera On Michael Conforto's Head
When a baseball team celebrates an accomplishment by spraying each other with gallon upon gallon of beer and champagne, there’s always a couple of players with some kind of camera strapped to their head. We see all sorts of media from these celebrations—high-quality photos, local news reports, even ...
EL-P On The New Cat-Rap Classic <i>Meow The Jewels</i>: "It's A Lonely And Strange Thing"
Embrace the moment: One of the most feverishly anticipated hip-hopalbums of the year is finally here, and it’s made up almost entirely of sampled cat sounds. It’s called Meow the Jewels, and you can download it for free right here, and its backstory is now the stuff of internet (and cat) lore. It st...
Maryland Cheerleader, Like The Terrapins, Is Getting Crushed
West Virginia is obliterating the Terrapins today, as the Mountaineers are already up 38-0 at the half. Taking things especially hard was this Maryland cheerleader who bore the brunt of Shelton Gibson’s 41-yard touchdown catch:...
The Smart Steelers Are Going To Continue Going For Two
After each of their first two touchdowns in Sunday’s beatdown of the 49ers, the Pittsburgh Steelers went for two. They converted both times, and are now 3-3 on the season. According to Ben Roethlisberger, they’re going to keep on going for two. Via ESPN:...
