D.J. Fluker Picked Up A Linebacker And Body-Slammed Him
This happened somewhere around 2 a.m. EDT this morning, so maybe you missed it. This is rookie lineman D.J. Fluker doing all he could—and then some—to make sure Raiders linebacker Sio Moore doesn't get to Philip Rivers on this play. Unsurprisingly, Fluker was flagged for a personal foul, but holy s...

What's More Improbable: The Jaguars' +28 Line Or An 11-Inch Penis?
The murmurs began last week, before the Broncos put up 51 points against the Cowboys and the Jaguars lost second-overall pick Luke Joeckel to injury. And when the dust of Week 5 had settled, sure enough, the betting line for Jaguars at Broncos was set at 28 points, which is a lot....
A's, Tigers Trade "Fuck You"s Then Shoves As Fight Breaks Out In Ninth
Grant Balfour's no stranger to brawls in the ALDS sparked by profanity, and he was at the center of one again today in the ninth as he attempted to close out a win for the A's against the Tigers. Alas, Victor Martinez was going to make sure today's bottom of the ninth would be punctuated with pugil...
When Should Dallas Have Allowed Denver To Score A Touchdown?
Once Demaryius Thomas crossed the line to gain at the Dallas 14 yard line with 1:50 to play, the Dallas defense should have intentionally allowed the TD. With 2 timeouts and 1:40+ to play, they would have had a better chance of winning than allowing Denver to choke the life out of them and kick an e...
Report: Lions Center Was A Dick To The University Of Wisconsin Band
It appears that Dominic Raiola, the starting center for the Detroit Lions, is a huge dick.

Here's Fred Couples Watching A Woman Streak At The Presidents Cup
There was a streaker at the Presidents Cup, which I guess means this should technically be tagged "idiot on the links," or "naked idiot on the links." ...
Running Uphill Is The Worst, But You Should Probably Still Do It
I am now mere weeks away from some kind of buffalo/cow/large land-mammal-themed relay race in Kansas City and a few weeks more removed from the Wine and Dine half-marathon in Florida. I'm also going on a booze sabbatical. Things are terrible lately. Come, join in the misery and music. Here's the Spo...

President Obama: I'd "Think About Changing" Redskins Nickname
President Obama clearly thinks it's time to switch the Washington nickname to something less slur-y and danced around outright saying so in a recent interview with the Associated Press.

The Injury History Of Everyone On The Field When Jake Locker Got Hurt
Four seconds into the play above, Jake Locker took an awkward double hit from Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples and had to be carted off the field with a hip injury. If anyone could sympathize, it was, well, everyone else on the field....
Return Of The Meme: McKayla Maroney Vaults Again
One year and three leg surgeries after London, McKayla Maroney has returned to competition on the vault. And from a performance standpoint, not much has changed. She does the two-and-a-half twister that made her famous (before the meme made her even more famous) just as well as she did at the Olympi...
Infographics: Every NFL Offense's Production, Visualized By Position
Instinctively, you know every team has strengths and weaknesses.
