Look, I’ll just tell you exactly how this is gonna go down. So Super Bowl Sunday 2016, it’ll be Panthers-Patriots, obviously, and when halftime comes around, the Panthers will be up, oh, let’s say between 60 and 80 points, and then Coldplay will do a little set. ...
Don't Use Your Child As A Business Opportunity
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan did not write a letter to their daughter yesterday. They issued a press release, and called it a letter. I can point at my cat and call it a dog, but guess what, it’s still a cat. One of the richest entrepreneurs in the country took their daughter’s birth announcem...
Reports: Rob Gronkowski Is "Going To Be OK"
Like some sort of reverse Christmas morning, where the presents are torn ligaments and the tinsel is an early playoff exit (I’m still working on the analogy), Patriots fans had to be dreading waking up to details on Rob Gronkowski’s scary-looking knee injury, which caused the star TE to be carted of...

Vince Carter Nails Buzzer-Beater From Three-Quarter-Court
Vince Carter has played a mere 101 minutes this year and has only hit seven threes, but this one should count double. The Grizzlies lost, but the Hawks didn’t hit any shots nearly as cool as this. ...
Jason Kidd Tossed For Slapping Ball Out Of Ref's Hands
The Milwaukee Bucks—a popular preseason pick to make some noise in the Eastern Conference after signing Greg Monroe—fell to 6-9 Wednesday night after losing to the DeMarcus Cousins-less Sacramento Kings at home.

Report: Teams Are Already Lining Up To Bring Peyton Manning Into The Front Office
Peyton Manning has such a comical litany of injuries that it’s amazing he was playing NFL football into 2015.

Aaron Rodgers's Throwing Shoulder Is "Banged Up"
If this doesn’t fully explain Aaron Rodgers’s (relative) struggles this season, it sure goes a hell of a lot further than hypotheticals about his girlfriend. Rodgers appeared on the injury report for the first time this week with an unspecified injury to his right shoulder, and since there was no ob...

But at 4-5, they aren’t out of things yet, so why not put up a Hail Mar...

With it all tied up 68-68, Loyola inbounded from under their own basket. They looked to have a good layup or dunk attempt, but Jerome Frink sent the shot packing...
Peyton Manning Needs To Sit
Peyton Manning is racking up injuries almost as fast as interceptions. (Almost.) Two weeks ago, it was his right, throwing shoulder. Last week it was his right foot, the one he’s clearly struggling to push off of and floating weak, underthrown balls. Before yesterday’s terrible 29-13 loss to Kansas ...

NFL Admits It Fucked Up With Pajama Uniforms That Ruined Game For Colorblind Fans
