NBC Director Cut Away From Ball-Pooping Celebration To Protect Us
On Sunday, Doug Baldwin celebrated his touchdown to put the Seahawks up 24-14 by pooping the football. (Seattle never scored again. Curse of the poopball? Hmmmm.) Only, the dozens of millions of people watching at home never saw it, because NBC abruptly cut away....

Baylor Woos Recruits With List Of Stores It Hopes Open In Waco Someday
Recruiting is about so much more than just playing time. It's about convincing an 18-year-old kid that your campus and its surroundings are fun place to spend the next four years. That can mean promising an In-N-Out when there's no actual In-N-Out on the way. ...
Let's Watch Gronk Read A Sexy Passage From The Gronk Erotica
Rob Gronkowski made the expected visit to Jimmy Kimmel's television program tonight, and after admitting that he "hadn't read a book since the ninth grade" (claiming it was, uh, A Mockingbird To Remember), the Super Bowl champion tight end read a bit from the erotica novel written about him....

NHL referee Tim Peel met with his fiercest critic Thursday night in New York City: Yahoo Sports NHL blog Puck Daddy's editor-in-chief Greg Wyshynski.

The Worst Tinder Pickup Lines I've Gotten
People have a lot of things to say on how to Tinder, but my main piece of advice would be this: Don't be gross. Yes, open with something more interesting than "Yo" or "Hey" or "Howdy." (Please don't use "Howdy.") But mostly, don't be gross. Also, please don't repeat any of these opening lines a few ...

NBC Cut Away From Doug Baldwin's Wonderfully Vulgar TD Celebration
Is this the Randy Moss moon? Or are we calling it Doug Baldwin pooping out a football? Who cares, this rules. Blame NBC for cutting away before we could see if Doug did the shimmy, but those are good mooning/pooping fundamentals either way. ...

Do The NFL's Anti-Domestic Violence Initiatives Actually Even Exist?
As long ago as it now seems, it was only this past July when Roger Goodell decided to suspend Ray Rice for two games after the Baltimore Ravens running back cold-cocked his future wife in an Atlantic City casino elevator.

Four Ways To Quit: Run Long Like The Kenyans
Justin Lagat, who lives in Kenya, in fact, is Kenyan, wrote a piece for RunBlogRun on the four ways in which Kenyans do their long runs. Since our very lean friends from the Rift Valley own distance running, this post, I thought, held great promise—secrets revealed, myths busted, the spleen-witherin...
Hey, Get A Load Of This Evil Doctor
The Washington Post has a profile today of Dr. Jack Wolfson, an Arizona cardiologist and holistic medicine, uh, doer or whatever, who's made something of a name for himself by providing a flimsy, fraudulent rime of expertish cover to the reprehensible, morally criminal anti-vaccination crowd in the ...
DeMarcus Cousins Gives Rock-Stupid Sportswriter A Much-Deserved Smack
Five years ago today, professional dumb person Clay Travis tweeted a bold-ass prediction. "There is a 100% chance that DeMarcus Cousins is arrested for something in the next five years. 100%. Write it in stone," he said. "Write it in stone," he said!...
