An Actual Video Of 6-Foot-7, 410-Pound Motekiai Langi Playing "Football"
Yesterday I wrote that there was no video available of BYU’s newest recruit, Motekiai Langi, from the island nation of Tonga. As it turns out there is a very short video of Langi playing something resembling football at a Tuhulu football camp. It doesn’t show much, but the “light on his feet” com...
USA Track & Field: Our Sport Is Cool Because It's Real Basic

Tiger, What The Fuck, Man?
Holy shit! This is Tiger Woods's third shot on the par-4 tenth (his first of the day) at the Farmers Insurance Open. Jesus Christ, he just bangs this thing like a railroad spike, less like a chip shot than Miguel Cabrera rocking a line drive up the third base line, or any Dwight Howard hook shot eve...

No More, The NFL's Domestic Violence Partner, Is A Sham
The brands have spoken, and they want you to know that domestic violence and sexual assault are bad. In fact, the brands not only think they’re bad, but have a theory as to why they persist: the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault don’t have a strong enough brand. So, to help get America ...
Bobby Petrino Is Still Scum
Bobby Petrino's coaching career has been a series of escapes. Not even one year after signing a 10-year extension with Louisville, he jumped to the Atlanta Falcons; bailed on the NFL after 13 games; went to Arkansas, where got the boot after wrecking his motorcycle with his mistress on the back; hop...
Hey, Ricky Rubio Is Back And Making Fun Passes Again
Did you forget about Ricky Rubio? You probably forget about Ricky Rubio, because he's been out of action since Nov. 7, and nobody cares too much about what's going on with the Minnesota Timberwolves. But Rubio's back, and he is still his dazzling self....
<i>SI</i> Nobly Accepts Ad Money To Put Normal-Sized Woman In Swimsuit Issue
Sports Illustrated has revealed the cover of its annual issue of Boobs: The Great Subsidy, and all the predictable heavy breathing that comes on a day like this has been joined by another kind of "buzz," as one might call it.

BYU Signs 6'7", 410 lbs. Hulk Based On Two Year Old Pickup BBall Game
The most intriguing news out of signing day—at least for those who find tracking every tiny movement a bit weird—was that a 6'7", 410 pound manchild signed a letter of intent to play football at BYU. The problem was, nobody knew jack shit about Motekiai Langi. No grainy highlight reel, no photos of ...
Liverpool Are Back
Man, that formation change really did revitalize their season, didn't it? After idly futzing around with the ball for practically the entire first half of the season, unable to do the one thing they did so well last year—score—Liverpool now are back to booting 'em in every which way....

On Jan. 13, 2014, a person with the Twitter handle @BeatinOff2Night—his current handle is @ChickenColeman2—tweeted a three-panel shot of him and a kid playing what appeared to be NBA 2K14. The game was evidently one-sided, but the caption was the best part:...
<i>Empire </i>Is A Great Show With A Badly Outdated Soundtrack
The third episode of Fox's wildly popular new hip-hop drama Empire featured Gladys Knight—given no introduction, or even a fictional name, though maybe she's supposed to be playing herself—singing at the funeral of a character killed off in the pilot after less than five minutes of screen time. Mo...
