Sio Moore To Colin Kaepernick At Halftime: "Bitch-Ass Motherfucker"
Raiders linebacker Sio Moore didn't just call Colin Kaepernick a "chump." At halftime of Sunday's 49ers-Raiders game, Moore jawed at the 49ers quarterback and called him a "bitch-ass motherfucker" as the teams went to their locker rooms....
Anderlecht Player Celebrates Goal With Unique Romantic(?) Gesture
We're familiar with the thumb-in-mouth celebration (usually aimed at the scorer's child), and the point-to-the-stands one (usually in acknowledgment of the scorer's friends and family), but Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrović's cunnilingis-inspired ode, ostensibly targeted to the lucky lady(s) in...
How Is Madison Bumgarner Even A Real Person?
If you were to judge Sports Illustrated's big Sportsman of the Year feature on Madison Bumgarner simply by the magazine's cover and Tom Verducci's lede—"In one of Earth's great hardwood forests, that wind swoops and soars through white pines, maples, oaks, chestnuts and poplars..."—you might roll ...
The Day John Lennon Was Murdered
Via Cathal Kelly's Twitter feed, dig Jimmy Breslin's column about John Lennon's death:...
The Golden State Warriors Still Love The CoCo (On The Low Low)
Yesterday, we learned that the Golden State Warriors were no longer allowed to celebrate victories by singing along to O.T. Genasis's head-knocking drug anthem, "CoCo." But judging by Steph Curry's latest Instagram post, pictured above, the team isn't letting the fun-hating puritans who rained on th...
Man Loses Fantasy Football Bet, Does Worst Al Pacino Impression
This reenactment of Al Pacino's famous Any Given Sunday speech has no business being funny, but it is, somehow. The reader who sent it along says the guy half-heartedly playing Tony D'Amato lost a fantasy football bet, and had to make this video as punishment....
The Biggest Two-Yard Run Of Week 14
Glancing briefly at box scores will tell you the Colts beat the Browns and Andrew Luck threw a go-ahead touchdown with 32 seconds remaining. But the box score won't tell you the leverage of the plays leading up to the touchdown, or that Boom Herron's two-yard rush immediately preceding the touchdo...
Sio Moore Calls Colin Kaepernick A "Freakin Chump"
After a win as big as the Raiders' crippling of the 49ers' playoff hopes, Oakland LB Sio Moore wasn't ready to stop crowing. He went home, went on Instagram, and continued smack-talking Colin Kaepernick with the irrational confidence that only a young player on a 2-11 team can muster....

Neymar + Suárez + Messi = Destruction
Having the world's fanciest dribbler weave past defenders and flick the ball out to the world's best all-around striker, who then chips a pass to the world's best player, who then pokes it past a defender, then past the keeper is a pretty foolproof strategy, it turns out....

Baylor's making its case for selection to the college football "playoff" today as College GameDay's in Waco. Here's the best signs we spotted on today's broadcast:...
Rajon Rondo's Free Throw Shooting Is Historically Awful So Far
Rajon Rondo has never been a great free-throw shooter. Coming into the 2014-15 season his career average was 62.1 percent—substandard for a point guard—but so far this season, Rondo has been a calamity. He's shot a horrendous 9-30 (30.0 percent) clip from the "charity stripe" in his 15 games played....
Why Does The Flu Vaccine Suck This Year?
Did you get your flu shot? I didn't really want to (I hate needles) but as an infectious disease physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, it would be exceedingly poor form if I opted out. My job requires it, and I recommend the vaccine to just about every patient, every day. The shot doesn't actu...
Argentine Woman Says She Was Brutally Beaten For Wearing Soccer Jersey
Above is a picture of Lorena Sabio and her daughter, wearing a River Plate shirt ahead of the club's match against archrivals Boca Juniors last Thursday.

Rap's Love Guru: Why Plies Is Smarter Than You Think
Plies's decade in the rap game—in which he navigated through his native Florida's underground, ascended briefly to mainstream fame via two Gold-selling albums, and has since returned to the Southern rap mixtape circuit—immediately calls to mind one word: "realness." There are the titles of his first...
UVA-Maryland Basketball Game Site Of Protest And "No Means No" Chants
A lot was going in College Park, Maryland, tonight, where the Maryland men's basketball team lost 76-65 to former-ACC rival University of Virginia in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. A group of students held a die-in outside of the XFINITY Center to protest the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, an...
Isolated, Unedited Vocals Of Mariah Carey's Awful Holiday Performance
Remember when Mariah Carey could sing? Most millennials probably can't. "All I Want For Christmas Is You," she sings, but we'd suggest adding "a new voice" to her letter for Santa. Only Rep. Peter King could vocalize something more tone-deaf in New York today....
