Every Cold-Weather City Should Host The Super Bowl
Despite the objections of Joe Flacco, next year's Super Bowl will be played in lovely northern New Jersey. It might be windy. It might snow.

Another Buzzer-Beater For Another High School State Championship
Here we have Mercy star senior Maria Weselyj hitting a three point shot as time expires to give her team a 54-53 win in the Connecticut Class LL state final. Had Weselyj not made the shot, Mercy would have lost four consecutive Class LL finals, making her Mercy's very own Jim Kelly. ...
The Play-By-Play Of Elvis Dumervil's Contract Mishap Sounds Pretty Agonizing
Yesterday, it appeared that Elvis Dumervil's failed contract negotiation with the Broncos was thwarted by a fax machine, a piece of technology rendered obsolete some 11 or 12 years ago by the advent of .pdf documents and email.

"A Women Kissing A Nerd," "Beyonce Girating Her Vagina," And Other Angry Complaints To The FCC About The Super Bowl
Beyoncé is a "slut." She "gyrated her pelvis," "humping the air for 13 minutes." She "dressed like a stripper" dancing in "erotica fashion."

Matt Cassel And Kevin Kolb Are Getting Cut
It's the end of two eras. Two sad, frustrating eras marked with wasted promise and ill-advised trades and inept quarterbacking.

Buzzer-Beater Celebration Runs Over Recently Vanquished, Mascot Tries To Console Him
As far as buzzer-beaters go, this is OK, I guess. Nothing quite like last week's, but still: it's a buzzer-beater. On Saturday, Batavia picked off Olean in the New York Class B western regional on a mad-dash last possession ending in a desperation three. What makes this one special is how the shot...
Alabama's Trevor Releford Beat The Georgia Bulldogs On A Nice Little Floater From Beyond Half-Court
At this point, it's useless to compare buzzer-beaters. This one's the best, that one's the best, the one with the chunky Canadians is the best—it's all relative. But if you're a fan of unexpected end-of-game twists, graceful floaters from about 55 feet away, and jubilant hometown crowds, we recomm...
