Ed Hochuli Reviewed An Un-Reviewable Play And Then Said He Did Not Review It Because It Was Un-Reviewable
Cleveland unexpectedly forced Dallas to overtime, and after an incomplete pass to Miles Austin with 8:35 left to go in the extra period Cleveland called timeout—presumably to force a replay from the booth.

Bart Scott Attempts to Lead Media Boycott After Jets Actually Win A Game
Yes, the Jets actually won this afternoon—and even scored some touchdowns doing so. But, these being the New York Jets, they could not avoid finding new and ever-dumber ways of making news unrelated to on field matters....
Orioles Prospect Needs To Find A New Superstition Now That Hostess Has Closed Up Shop
Orioles pitching prospect Kevin Gausman was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, signed to a $4.23 million signing bonus and pitched 15 innings of professional baseball this year. Because baseball players are weirdos, Gausman must eat four powdered mini-doughnuts prior to each inning he pitches. Obviou...
Michael Vick Still Can't Drive A Car Because Of Concussion Suffered Last Week
Nick Foles got the start today for the Eagles because Michael Vick is still recovering from a concussion he suffered against the Cowboys last week. Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder said "[h]e's had symptoms all week" and that he is "foggy."...
Will We Ever See A Return To The Glory Days Of Colts-Patriots?: Your NFL Late Games Viewing Guide
We have four more games left on the day and three more begin right now. OK, fine—due to some scheduling rejiggering this year, there is actually one more right now and then two more in the coming 20 minutes, but you get the point. We've actually got a pretty solid selection of quarterbacks this lat...
The People That Own Nets.com Are Now Redirecting The Page To The Knicks' All-Star Ballot
A while back, we looked into who owns Nets.com, and why that web address doesn't redirect to the NBA website's subpage for the Brooklyn Nets. Type in the name for any other team in the league, and you'll be redirected to NBA.com/TEAM. If you typed in Nets.com a few months ago, you were redirected to...
Miguel Angel Jimenez Becomes Oldest Player To Win On European Tour, Remains Coolest Dude In Golf
There are essentially two reasons for this post on the 48-year-old Spaniard. One is the video above. It remains as magnificently hypnotic as ever and should be viewed at least twice a year, as needed. The other is the quote below, following his win at the Hong Kong Open....
Jason Kidd Plus A Scalp Wound Plus A Headband Equals A Wes Anderson Character

Here Are The Three Flops That Have Led To NBA Warning So Far This Season
Just before the season began, the NBA outlined its new procedure for curbing flops, the habit of exaggerating contact that ran over Jeff Van Gundy's dog when Van Gundy was only a young boy....
Arizona Quarterback Returns From Concussion, Promptly Pukes Again
Remember Matt Scott? He's the Arizona quarterback who unleashed a flood of vomit after a helmet-to-helmet collision against USC a few weeks ago. Wildcats coaches asserted Scott was fine and did not, in fact, suffer a concussion during that game—but he did suffer one the next week against UCLA. Tha...

Alabama Is At The Center Of A Photograph As Horrifying As It Is Puzzling
We received this picture of a reveling goblin-man delighting in fire and emptiness under the subject "ROLL TIDE!" No further information was provided. Aside from the Nightmare at sea level to the right, we are unsure what we are looking at....
UNC Academic Scandal Continues, Reportedly Tolerated Cheating
While the actual "student-athlete" may have died a long time ago, the conceit somehow lives on. As college athletics has grown in popularity and profitability, the NCAA quietly killed the student-athlete and replaced him with an evil twin brother. It used to be a ringer was a guy who had no connecti...
Why Does Everyone Care Which Exit Lane Kiffin Used When He Left The Visitor's Locker Room Last Night?
Yesterday afternoon's much-hyped grudge match between USC and UCLA went in the Bruins' favor immediately, and for good; the score was 24-0 midway through the second quarter, and, despite a spirited comeback to bring the Trojans within three, UCLA won by 10. The Bruins have the better record in the P...
Kansas State Gets Blown Out By Baylor And Oregon Falls To Stanford At Home As The Top Two BCS Teams Get Their First Losses On The Same Night
A week from college football's end-of-season reckoning and Kansas State and Oregon, ranked first and second respectively in the BCS standings going into today's games, have taken their first losses of the season.

The University Of Maryland's Twitter Account Was Hacked, Kept It Pretty Real For About Twenty Minutes
Along with Rutgers, the University of Maryland looks likely to flee its current conference for the Big Ten, and some people—notably, the person who hacked Maryland's official Twitter account tonight—are pretty happy about it. At first it seems conceivable that the person who manages UM's social med...
The Marlins Specifically Promised Not To Trade Jose Reyes And Mark Buehrle, Traded Jose Reyes And Mark Buehrle
Need another reason to hate the Marlins? Let's add this to the list (there's seriously a list): not only did the Miami Marlins and their awful ownership trade away half the team—they did so despite promising at least two stars, who signed with the Marlins this summer hoping to stay in Miami for some...
