Here Is A Bunch Of People Insisting Notre Dame Would Have Won Last Night If Not For The Referees
The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated Notre Dame in last night's BCS Championship Game. This really is not debatable. Alabama beat the Irish on offense, on defense, and on special teams.

Here Is The Most Entertaining Moment Of Alabama's Dismantling Of Notre Dame
This game had nothing. It was dead on arrival. Maybe there were some moments—Brent Musberger salivating all over A.J. McCarron's girlfriend or McCarron getting shoved by his own center come to mind.

Carmelo Anthony And Kevin Garnett Got Into Some Kind Of Scrum In The Belly Of Madison Square Garden
The Boston Celtics beat the Knicks in Madison Square Garden Monday night 102-96 and it sounds like Carmelo was pissed.

Friends Successfully Use Twitter To Get Adrian Peterson To Call High School Kid With Cancer
At least, it appears they succeeded. The friend with cancer, Blake Cognata, is a senior lacrosse player from Fairport, NY who is also Minnesota Vikings fan.

Brent Musburger Is A Bit Too Infatuated With A.J. McCarron's Girlfriend, Katherine Webb
As often happens during boring, blowout bowl games, the cameras and commentary shifted tonight from the action on the field to the stands and Alabama QB A.J. McCarron's girlfriend Katherine Webb.

An Autographed Jason Campbell Jersey Exists, And This Guy Behind Erin Andrews Is Wearing It

Dr. James Andrews For Head Coach: Seahawks-Redskins, In Five GIFs
Seattle 24, Washington 14: It's fair to debate Mike Shanahan's decision to keep a hobbled Robert Griffin III in the game today: For much of the first half, it looked like a gamble in the process of paying off, and Griffin has been so stellar for so much of this year that it's hard to imagine Kirk C...

Th...

"When Marrone Interviewed, He Must Have Been Extremely Impressive": Six Writers Talking Themselves Into New Bills Coach Doug Marrone
Chan Gailey was pretty much a washout from the start for the Bills, and fans who withstood his 16-32 record there are understandably happy to have him gone. Still—who's the new guy?
