A Full-Speed Marcus Mariota Makes Oregon Look Like Oregon Again
The Oregon Ducks' 30-7 trouncing of Texas in the Alamo Bowl tonight was no real surprise, given that Vegas pegged the Longhorns as two-touchdown dogs, and that Marcus Mariota is back, iffy knee and all. Mariota finished 18 of 26 for 253 yards and 133 yards rushing, his best overall game since before...

Rafael Palmeiro Was The Ideal Steroids Scapegoat
Rafael Palmeiro was going to stroll into the Hall of Fame. It's sort of unbelievable to remember this fact, as we try to gaze back over the ruptured fault line between the Steroids Era and the Steroids Recriminations Era. There wasn't really anything to argue about, back then. He was in....

The Least Efficient Way To Call Tom Brady A Princess
So, this guy thinks Tom Brady is a princess, right?

Then, he wore it all to an NFL game. Without context, will someone who sees thi...

LeBron Wanted To Kill Mario Chalmers Again
I get it. Sometimes we all want to yell at Mario Chalmers. He's the annoying little brother who means well, but doesn't think and often makes things worse. He's eminently shoveable. Little kids practice endless jumpers in their driveways, dreaming that someday they'll make the NBA and be able to pus...

Andre Iguodala Almost Made The Coolest Play Of The Year
The box score will tell you that Andre Iguodala's return to the Warriors last night was uneventful. Iggy came back from injury to play just 17 minutes and score two points while shooting 1-of-4 from the field. The box score will not tell you that he came this close to bringing the damn house down....

Tom Brady Blames Loss On "Shitty Plays" During Live Presser
After losing to the Dolphins, Tom Brady was a bit grumpy, talking about how the Patriots made some good plays, but also "plenty of shitty plays." WBZ was televising the postgame live, and apparently didn't expect Tom Brady to say "shitty" on TV. We appreciate the effort of the incredibly delayed cut...

Rob Gronkowski Also Has A Concussion, Is The NFL's Latest Nightmare
When Browns safety T.J. Ward sent his shoulder crashing into Rob Gronkowski's outstretched right leg, everyone had the same two thoughts: "Holy shit, Gronk just tore his ACL!" and "Ward only went low because he didn't want to concuss Gronk and get fined for doing so." Well, try telling that second ...
