The Fatally Flawed Rangers Went Out With A Bunt And A Whimper
On August 31, the Rangers were sitting pretty. First in the division, a hefty wild card lead if it came to that, Texas had a 98.12 percent chance of making the playoffs. September was unkind—even with a seven-game winning streak that earned them a one-game playoff, they went 12-16 over the month, ge...
Texans Fans Engage In Very Sad Matt Schaub Jersey-Burning Ritual
These Texans fans are not too happy with Matt Schaub after he crapped yesterday's game away with a back-breaking pick-six. They are also not very good at being financially responsible or lighting things on fire....
The Rangers Win, And We're Getting Game 163
Coming into today, the last of the MLB season, three AL teams—the Rangers, Rays, and Indians—were vying for the two remaining playoff spots. Thanks to a late rally by the Rangers, that fight isn't yet finished, and the Rangers and Rays are set to play game 163....
Seahawks-Texans Brought Us The Day's Craziest Ending

Rays Win In 18, Set Stage For Wide-Open Wild Card Finish
I gave up on this game in the 16th. If only the Orioles were so sleepy, they could have been spared two further innings and grief. And, who knows, maybe if it ends in 16, Kelly Johnson here doesn't get drilled with DeJesus's helmet after a celebratory heave. But that's baseball: unpredictable. Somet...
Joe Nathan Goes All <i>Joe Nathan</i>
The Rays just came back to tie the Rangers at three in the 11th inning at the Trop thanks to this base-slap that just missed Joe Nathan's glove. Just one pitch after Freddy Guzmán stole second and one strike away from his 40th save, Nathan gave up the game-tying run to David DeJesus. We've seen thi...

A.J. McCarron's Stability Tops Johnny Football's Flying Circus
A.J. McCarron gets slapped with the pejorative "game manager" label, as if taking care of the football and involving the ground game are bad things. Johnny Manziel? Spectacular as always....
Ole Miss Fans Make Blowjob Faces Behind Longhorn Network Set
It's been a rough week for Longhorns fans. At least the pain of last week's blowout loss to BYU can be soothed by a nice home game broadcast on Texas's own personal ESPN network, right?...
