NFL Removes Replacement Referee Assigned To New Orleans Saints Game Because He Is A Saints Fan

Chris Mortensen reported this one and it is truly amazing.

Arkansas' Season-Long Nightmare Is In Full Swing

Against Arkansas today, Alabama covered the over (51 points) without allowing Arkansas to score. This is a difficult thing to accomplish. Vegas didn't see it coming - the last line I saw was Arkansas +20.5 - but at least two Razorbacks fans knew this one was going to be the college football equivale...

The NHL Is Officially Locking Out Its Players After Sides Failed To Meet Today

It may have seemed like a forgone conclusion (NHL deputy comissioner Bill Daly said today, "I think it's fair to say there was no realistic expectation to avoid a lockout as of developments on Wednesday and Thursday") but the owner's self-imposed deadline was midnight tonight.

Here's Umpire Jerry Meals Trying To Avoid To A Ball And Instead Incurring The Wrath Of Yankees Fans

"Horse Crap": Oddly Enough, The Amazon Reviews For The Freeh Report Are Mostly Pretty Negative

That is to say, as negative as possible, in every case: the Freeh Report has 44 reviews on Amazon right now, and they are all one star. I mean, that sort of makes sense—who goes on Amazon to give a positive review of the report stemming from an extrajudicial review process?—but on the heels of Franc...

643 Rushing Yards And 10 Touchdowns Make For A Pretty Solid Birthday

What was your eighteenth birthday like?
