Pacman Jones Apologizes For Saying That Antonio Brown Faked A Concussion
When Antonio Brown suffered a concussion in Saturday’s playoff game from linebacker Vontaze Burfict’s hit, Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones thought the Steelers receiver was embellishing it.

ESPN's "Black Grantland" Hires Writers, May Eventually Publish Something
Today, two and a half years after the project was first announced, ESPN issued a press release about a fresh round of hires at its black-interest site, The Undefeated.

Greek Striker Puts In Strong Early Bid For Worst Miss Of The Season
It’s not even a month into the season yet and already Apostolos Vellios has to feel good about his chances of taking home the Anti-Puskás Award with this literally unbelievable miss. For all our sake, I hope nobody tops this....
I Want To Punt The Houston Super Bowl Mascot's Dumb Head
Super Bowl 51 will be in Houston on Feb. 5, 2017, and today, the city’s Super Bowl committee unveiled its mascot. His name is TD, and he’s a football dressed up in a football uniform. He also has a smile, I think. It could be a misplaced lace....

Fans Chant "Kroenke Sucks" As Blues And Cardinals Send A Message From St. Louis

Claire McCaskill Might Actually Do Something About The Publicly-Financed Stadium Scam
Missouri senator Claire McCaskill says that she is drafting legislation that would require professional sports franchises that skip town prematurely to refund the public.

Bougie Food Review: Partially Popped Popcorn
Food tastes better when you have to work hard for it—same with drinks. This phenomenon manifests itself in a number of ways. Ice-cold lemonade is never as refreshing as after you’ve spent all day working outside under the baking sun; produce from your own garden is always better than what you buy in...
Stan Kroenke Will Never Care About You
The thing that always strikes me about people’s reactions to the general fuckery carried out by pro sports owners is the genuine disbelief. You look at some galactically rich piece of puddy asking taxpayers to build him a new stadium and you can’t help but ask, “Is this guy fucking serious?” You see...
Russell Westbrook Ejected As Thunder And Mavs Get Into It
Mavericks-Thunder was never going to be close, not with Dallas resting all five starters after an overtime game the night before. And it wasn’t—OKC jumped out to a double-digit lead in the first quarter, extended it to 23 by halftime, and cruised to a 108-89 win. But not being competitive didn’t mea...
Full-Court Inbounds Hits Rim And Bounces To Teammate, Who Makes Game-Tying Shot
Down two with just 1.7 seconds left against Oswego State and inbounding from under their opponent’s basket, the D3 Brockport Golden Eagles needed some Grant Hill to Christian Laettner shit to even make it to overtime. That’s not exactly what happened, but somehow the ball Rube Goldberg Machine’d its...
What Is That Thing On Stan Kroenke's Head?
Rams owner Stan Kroenke has been in the news lately for his part in a disgraceful shitbag scheme that involves him moving his team from St. Louis to Los Angeles. This makes it a good time to ask a question we’ve long been meaning to ask: What the fuck is that on his head?...
Cristiano Ronaldo's Sister Wants To Exile The People Who Vandalized Her Brother's Statue To Syria
The enormous, bronze, big-dicked statue that stands in honor of Cristiano Ronaldo in his home town was vandalized Monday, as some rascals painted Lionel Messi’s name on its back. Ronaldo’s sister had some very, very, very strong words for the culprits....
Dimitri Payet Wasn't Supposed To Be A Star, Yet Became One Anyway
It’s not often that a player comes into the big bad Premier League and from day one treats the World’s Best League like a playground pitch for him to dominate the way he would any other. But that’s how West Ham’s Dimitri Payet has attacked England. He’s a nearly sui generis phenomenon who, having co...

A Special Message From Rams And Chargers Fans
Yesterday, the NFL approved a deal that will send the St. Louis Rams back to Los Angeles, with a second team joining them within a year, if not sooner. That second team will almost certainly be the San Diego Chargers, whose owner, Dean Spanos, will have to settle for a mere windfall instead of a bon...
The Torture Isn't Over Yet For Chargers And Raiders Fans
This morning, Rams fans are feeling angry, and sad, and betrayed. But at least it’s over. At least they know Stan Kroenke has officially ditched them for Los Angeles. There is no more dread or uncertainty, which can in many ways be even worse than just yanking off the band-aid. There is no such merc...
