Ronnie Price Loses Shoe, Turns Over Ball, Throws Shoe, Gets Technical
Via @cjzero, here's Lakers point guard Ronnie Price losing his shoe, turning over the ball, and throwing the shoe at Andre Iguodala in an attempt to play defense. The shoe throw didn't work, of course, and Price received a technical foul for his innovation....
Gronk On Patriots' Offensive Line: They "Should Get Laid Tonight"
Gigantic talking muscle Rob Gronkowski spoke with Tony Siragusa after the Patriots' win over the Bills, and he wanted everyone watching to know that the Patriots' offensive line played like sexy, sexy men today. They did give Tom Brady enough time to find his receivers, while allowing only two sacks...
Triple Coverage? Not A Problem For Brian Tyms
OK, so the Bills' "triple coverage" is more like "1.5vle coverage."...
Tom Brady Rolled His Ankle But He's Good To Go
When Tom Brady was added to the Patriots' injury report on Friday, it seemed like another serious factor to consider in this whole What's wrong with Tom Brady?/Oh nothing actually debate of the last few weeks. Or at least some patented Bill Belichick tomfoolery:...
Man With Patriots Helmet Tattoo Arrested On Synthetic Weed Charges
You may remember Victor Thompson, the man with a Patriots helmet tattooed on his head, from back in 2012. I interviewed him a few days before the Patriots played the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, since he lived roughly 20 minutes from me in New Hampshire. Thompson was in jail at the time for willful co...
Buck Showalter Can't Stop Pushing The Right Buttons
It's a results-based business. And Orioles manager Buck Showalter—who, if he doesn't precisely rely on his hunches, at least tends to make decisions questionable enough that you notice they were decisions at all—finally has a playoff series win to call his own....
Who Gets To Spike The Football?
When the Patriots are doing well, Tom Brady doesn't get mad, and instead does fun stuff like play hot potato with Julian Edelman before spiking the ball....
Orioles Win Game 2 By Thiiiiis Much
This here is Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy eluding Tigers catcher Alex Avila—by, hell, an inch?—to give the Orioles a 7-6 lead in the bottom of the eighth. Hardy was the third run to score on Delmon Young's pinch-hit, bases-clearing double. ...
Oregon QB Marcus Mariota Catches Trick Play Touchdown
Oregon's quarterback Marcus Mariota is a leading Heisman candidate because he can throw better than most college quarterbacks and run better than all of them. Now we can add receiving to that list, as he hauled in a 26-yard touchdown to put the Ducks up 7–3 on Arizona Thursday night. Mariota pitch...
Orioles Win, Pound Tigers With Eight Run Eighth Inning
Max Scherzer was right. When Tigers manager Brad Ausmus strolled to the mound to pull him out of Thursday night's ALDS opener, Scherzer was observably unhappy. Sure, he'd yielded four runs across 7 1/3 innings to the Orioles, and Alejandro De Aza had just ripped a double off of him. Scherzer is th...
Report: Aaron Dobson Benched After He "Mouthed Off" To Josh McDaniels
The fact that second-year WR Aaron Dobson has suited up just once this season is extra-weird in light of the Patriots being woefully short on receivers. A Boston Globe report today may answer that question; it says Dobson has been benched the last two weeks because he's run afoul of offensive coordi...
Bill Belichick Really Just Wants To Talk About Cincinnati
Bill Belichick was in excellent press-conference form two days after the Chiefs demolished the Patriots. Reporters kept asking him about the Patriots' roster, Tom Brady's age, and concerns for the team's current state. Belichick wasn't interesting in talking about anything else but Sunday night's ...
Aaron Hernandez's Lawyers Want His Trial Moved From "Biased" Boston Area
Aaron Hernandez appeared in a Bristol County court yesterday, as his lawyers filed a motion requesting that one of his murder trials be moved "outside the boundaries of the Boston media market." Their reasoning includes a poll finding that most people in Bristol County already think he's guilty....
Chiefs Fan Celebrates By Faux-Face-Fucking Nearby Patriots Fan
As the Chiefs drubbed the Patriots last night, Grant Hinkle, a poker player and Kansas City fan, rubbed it in the face of a Pats fan sitting next to him. He had a series of celebrations planned out....
Don't Ask Bill Belichick If It's Time To Think About His Quarterbacks
The Patriots were bad, bad, bad last night, getting beaten soundly on both sides of the ball in a 41-14 road thumping at the hands of the Chiefs. But a good part of the attention is naturally going to settle on Tom Brady, who's been so consistently great over the course of his career that this sea...
