Big Ben Claims The Steelers Haven't Been Cursed By Justin Bieber
On Saturday, Justin Bieber and the Pittsburgh Steelers were both at a worship service. Cam Heyward and Bruce Gradkowski took photos with the amateur basketball player, who was wearing a Yinzer-tastic shirt. The next day, the Steelers lost to the Jets, 20-13. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I find ...
One Of The Weirdest Moments Ever On <em>Monday Night Football</em>, Made Weirder

Canadian College Football Fans Are Adorable Berserkers
Sixty years ago, LIFE magazine tapped into the joys and tortures of football fandom by traveling north of the American border, where collegians in Ontario were positively freaking out over a rare win on the gridiron.

A Total Eclipse of the Sonny: The Night 'The Greatest' Was Born
This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Rumble in the Jungle. A lot has been written about that fight. Movies have been made about it.

Jay Bilas Gets Into The Most Boring Twitter Fight Ever
ESPN talking head Jay Bilas often leads the good fight against the NCAA. It was he who almost singlehandedly forced the NCAA to stop selling athlete jerseys, and he applied a good deal of the pressure that forced Kansas State to let Leticia Romero and Alabama to let Daisha Simmons transfer schoo...
Cristiano Ronaldo Likens Ugly Tackle To Rugby; Rugby World Turns Stupid
Cristiano Ronaldo was none too happy about his early exit from last week's Champions League match between Real Madrid and Ludogorets, necessitated by this late challenge in the final minutes.

Music Video Made Of Madden GIFs Is Really Stupid And Funny
I don't know if it's just because it's the late afternoon and I'm feeling a little loopy, or if it's the unexpected presence of Evanescence—anyone knows what's good with Evanescence these days?—or the triumphant vibe of Geno Smith's spike, but this dumb video is making me laugh a lot. I hope it make...
Zinedine Zidane Pretends He Doesn't Manage Team He Obviously Manages
Real Madrid have been fast tracking club legend Zinedine Zidane to the manager's chair for a while now. He's gone from first team assistant to reserve team head coach in just over a year.

How Is This Photo Of Nicki Minaj's Allegedly Fake Butt Not A Photoshop?
Some people think this is a fake butt. Others thought it was a photoshop, but the photo is from the Getty wire, which is not where you usually find conspiracy-driving photoshops. It doesn't look especially physiologically possible, one way or another. ...
We Made Some Really Stupid Madden GIFs, And So Can You
For some reason, EA thought it would be a good idea to let the internet make GIFs using Madden player models. They made a site for it and everything, underwritten by the NFL, NFLPA, and Google. We spent 15 minutes trying to make them regret it. Here's what we came up with, but we're sure you crimina...

Sexologists Masters And Johnson Were Cardinals Fans. Duh.
"Particularly for young people," Thomas Maier noted in a recent essay, "unaware of Masters and Johnson, it's difficult to appreciate how much has changed between the mid-'60s and today. But at the time they were becoming famous, the couples' graphs, charts and photos of human sexual response—learnin...
Sigh. Here Is Johnny Manziel Kind Of Doing The Nae Nae.
Well, we really boned ourselves here. Our non-exhaustive list of Johnny Manziel dirt that we will actually pay for included a $325 bounty for a video of Johnny Manziel doing the Nae Nae. (Why $325? Who the fuck knows.) Naturally, a tipster reached out to us with a video of Johnny Manziel doing the N...
If Ted Kluszewski's Guns Could Speak . . .
Theodore Bernard "Big Klu" Kluszewski played in the majors for two decades, more than half of those years with the Reds. He was big — well over 6 feet and around 230 pounds, give or take — and he was strong. Like, Harmon Killebrew meets Joe Adcock by way of Josh Gibson strong. He wasn't Hall of Fame...
