Lil' Texas A&M Fan Lets George Niang Have It
Texas A&M beat Iowa State this afternoon after ending the game on a 16-4 run. Cyclones star George Niang fouled out with 15 points, but was apparently too slow getting off the court for this lil’ fan....

Texas Attorney General Declares Daily Fantasy Illegal Gambling, And The End Is Nigh
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued an opinion today that daily fantasy sports constitutes illegal gambling under Texas law. “It is prohibited gambling in Texas if you bet on the performance of a participant in a sporting event and the house takes a cut,” he said in a statement. “Paid daily ‘fa...
Bill O'Brien Had No Choice
Yesterday, Brian Hoyer played one of the very worst games by an NFL quarterback in the playoffs that I’ve ever seen. He threw four picks, lost a fumble, and I counted at least two other throws that could easily have turned into interceptions. By some metrics, it was one of the worst such games of al...
Jeremy Maclin And J.J. Watt Both Leave Game With Injuries On The Same Play
J.J. Watt, who’d just spent a little bit on the sideline right before this play nursing a groin injury, had to stop his rush halfway through due to a flare up. Right after he went down, Chiefs lineman Eric Fisher got a cheap shot in on the neck of a defenseless Watt. Watt went into the locker room, ...
Brandon Weeden Roasted Jerry Jones
Brandon Weeden began this season as a Cowboy and is going to end it among the thicket of, oh, let’s say, imperfect QBs leading the Texans into the playoffs (unless the Colts somehow beat the 3,300:1 odds stacked against them). I’m sure he didn’t imagine he’d play much this season, let alone start fo...
LSU's D.J. Chark Goes 79 Yards, Scores Touchdown On First Career Touch
D.J. Chark’s at the end of his second year in an LSU uniform, but it took until tonight’s Texas Bowl for him to ever touch the football in a real game. We’ll expect he touches it plenty in the future after taking his first touch 79 yards and for a touchdown....
DeAndre Hopkins To Ref: "What The Fuck You Looking At?"
Texans - Colts is one of the few close games taking place this afternoon, and it’s been pretty ugly. T.J. Yates tore his ACL and viewers can now enjoy a Matt Hasselbeck vs. Brandon Weeden duel.

Former First Overall Pick Matt Bush Is Out Of Prison And Coming Back To Baseball
The San Diego Padres selected Matt Bush with the first overall pick in the 2004 MLB draft. He was a local boy, born and raised in San Diego, starring at shortstop and pitcher for Mission Bay. But he never got any higher than AA ball, as a string of injuries then legal problems derailed his career. H...

What's Going On At Texas A&M?
This summer, Kevin Sumlin dismissively quoted the hoary old football platitude that “if you have two quarterbacks, you really have none,” bragging that with Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray on his team, both young, former five-star recruits, the Aggies were in pretty good shape. He maybe shouldn’t have t...
