Man Arrested For ESPN.com Comment That Threatened To Kill Kids Over New LeBron Sneaker
We hate to use such cliched terms, but it's hard to describe the ESPN.com comment section without words like "cesspool" and "wretched hive of scum and villainy" and "somehow even worse than Yahoo's comment section." But that's an unfair generalization. Not everyone there is horribly racist or a ward...

Late in yesterday's embarrassing Jaguars performance at home against the Texans, a presumably beer-fueled fan took to EverBank Field to perform the usual jackassery of an Idiot On The Field.

It's qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations, and yesterday Algeria met Libya in neutral Morocco (since Libya's still not one of the more stable countries.)
