Capivariano FC beat Oeste 2-1 on Wednesday in some hot Campeonato Paulista action down in Brazil, but I don’t care about that and you don’t care about.

Hallelujah, A College Football Coach Has A Sensible Position On Transfers
There is a litany of asinine and unfair NCAA rules, but perhaps the most blatantly unfair are the transfer rules.

Mediocrity Has Revitalized Boxing's Heavyweight Division
Among all of the big men in boxing right now, there is one genuinely good heavyweight.

Johan Cruyff, The Man Who Invented Modern Soccer, Dies At 68

Thinkfluence Man Pretends To Think Empathy Is Bad
“Against Empathy” makes a hell of a title for a video. It’s bold and spicy! Empathy is bad is quite a strong take, after all, given that empathy—broadly speaking, the capacity to relate to and share the feelings and perspectives of others—is a core, defining trait of humanity, which will tend to be ...
Where In The World Is Sean Miller? (Not In Pittsburgh, Sorry Guy)
In the world of scoop-driven transaction reporting, it’s OK for a reporter to be wrong. It is not ideal, of course; it’s bad for credibility. But it’s inevitable.

We’re still all trying to figure out how UNI blew a 12-point lead in 44 seconds, but in the meantime here’s the entire sequence compressed into less than a minute of painful, painful video. (Unless you’re an Aggies fan, that is, or one of those insufferable people who cheer for “the SEC.”)...
The Greatest Comeback In The History Of College Hoops Is Still Unthinkable
“I wish I could get some time back,” said Northern Iowa’s Paul Jesperson, but the problem for the Panthers wasn’t really that there was not enough time, was it?

Aleksandar Mitrovic Celebrates With Idiot On The Field After Scoring A Late Equalizer
