Jets Fan Reacts To Loss Not With Anger, But Complete Emotional Shutdown
This guy's probably reacted to Jets losses with fury and/or screaming in the past, but maybe he's just sick of it, it being everything.

No, The Refs Didn't Illegally Help The Patriots Line Up Last Night
This is a silly thing, but it's gotten enough traction on Twitter, and enough tipsters have emailed us Zapruder breakdowns of it that we may as well address it.

Sports Radio Caller Gets Robbed While Rapping On Air
Will in Baltimore was working the graveyard shift at 7-11 last night, and decided to call into Damon Amendolara's CBS Sports radio show to commiserate about the Orioles dropping a third straight game to the Royals in the ALCS.

Baseball Battle For Lorde's Approval Continues Unabated
Update: Apparently I'm an idiot/pop culture recluse, and the shirt actually references the hook from Chris Brown's song "Loyal" which goes "these hoes ain't loyal." In my defense I rarely listen to that women-beating moron, and I'm really annoyed by all of those Lorde cover songs. Anyways, look at t...

The English FA can't really be this uptight, can they? Today, the Premier League's governing body has announced that it has charged QPR's Rio Ferdinand with misconduct for a Tweet of his, without mentioning the specific one.

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.

Buck Showalter Can't Stop Pushing The Right Buttons
