Here's An Awkward Tiger Woods Interview On CNBC
Tiger Woods is only on CNBC for this interview with Maria Bartiromo to plug Fuse Science, his new sponsorship. Considering Woods's taciturn personality, the segment should have been a glorified commercial, a break from lots of numbers and stuff. But Bartiromo lets her news instinct take over and tri...
Why Did LSU Airbrush Out The Crosses Painted On These Dudes' Chests?
What you see above are two different versions of the same photo. The photo was taken at a recent LSU football game and the students in the picture are members of a Christian cheering section known as the Painted Posse. The original version (on the bottom) shows the students with crosses painted on ...
Towson University Linebacker Accuses Coach Of Doctoring Practice Logs, Threatening To Fuck Up Jesus
Former Towson University linebacker Trevor Walker made campus conversation more interesting today when he and another unnamed former player published a column about head coach Rob Ambrose in The Towerlight, Towson's student newspaper. Walker's screed denounces Ambrose for resorting to blasphemy in ...
Texas A&M's Six Laterals With No Time Left Couldn't Beat LSU
Not often that an SEC tilt will give you flashbacks to a Div. III game from five years ago. But today the No. 20 Aggies started slinging laterals every which way but forward while down five and out of time against No. 6 LSU, almost raising the ghosts of Trinity vs. Millsaps....
Three Years Later, Sad Clemson Fan Rides Again
A little over three years ago, the ESPN studio crew could barely keep it together on the air (and didn't even try off the air) while watching the above display of raw emotion. Clemson came back from a 24-point deficit against Georgia Tech only to lose by a field goal, and one Tigers fan broke the ...
Quiz: Fat, Complacent, Loser Yankees Or Fat, Complacent, Loser Tigers?
We all know that the Yankees are fat, overpaid losers who can't hit the ball. What you may have forgotten is that the Tigers—who just swept the Yankees—were fat, overpaid, hitless losers themselves just a few months ago....
Delmon Young Is By Far The Worst Player To Ever Win The ALCS MVP
After his team completed their sweep of the New York Yankees last night, Delmon Young was awarded the ALCS MVP. Normally, this award isn't that big of a deal. It's a footnote that gets tacked on to the narrative of the series, and everyone forgets who won it a few days later. Young's award stands o...
The Detroit Tigers Are World Series-Bound After A Dominant Sweep Of The New York Yankees
There will be many dissections and analyses of just how much of a drubbing the Tigers laid into the Yankees during this 2012 American League Championship Series, but if you even watched an hour of any given game, you saw near-complete domination of the Yankees, something we probably haven't seen sin...
Your Belated MLB Playoffs Open Thread
The Cardinals-Giants game has already gotten underway, and they are taking a 2-1 nailbiter into the seventh inning. At 8 p.m. EDT, the Tigers-Yankees game will be getting underway, and Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson once again find themselves riding the bench. So what happens if the Yankees w...
The New York Yankees Have A Coke Problem
Detroit reliever Phil Coke put up pedestrian pitching numbers this year; a 4.00 ERA and 1.65 WHIP while averaging less than a strikeout an inning won't get the ladies into much of a sweat—especially in the AL Central, where the only decent hitting could be found on Coke's own team....
Yankee Fans Are Really Harshing Nick Swisher's Buzz, Bro
It was not a good weekend for the Yankees. Not only did they drop two games at home against the Tigers, they also lost Derek Jeter for the rest of the postseason and received minimal support from the fans in a sparsely populated Yankee Stadium. And you know who's really sad about that last part? Ni...
South Carolina Fan Arrested For Mooning The Crowd At LSU Game
You do get the feeling that Saturday night's game would have been extra-frustrating for a Gamecocks fan who traveled all the way from South Carolina only to watch his No. 3 team get upset in Baton Rouge. So that explains, but does not excuse, the actions of Charles Hattaway, a 34-year-old from Charl...
Jeter-less Yankees And McCarver Doing "Who's On First" By Himself: Your Championship Series Open Thread
It's the Tigers in the Bronx again at 4:00 p.m. on TBS, in a series that has so far been essentially bereft of story lines, and robbed of any dramatic potential. Oh here's a story line—why are there so many fat guys on the Tigers? The Cardinals play the Giants in game one of their series at 8:00 p....
Oakland A's Fan Mistakes Prince Fielder's Son For A Girl, Family Chews Him Out
According to the YouTube uploader, this all went down at Game 5 in Oakland. It's unclear why this A's fan, who may or may not be inebriated, was talking to the Fielder family but at some point a woman who looks strikingly like Prince Fielder's wife starts chewing him out for calling her son a girl....
The Yankees Lose Captain Luck
Somehow the Yankees lost last night, even though Raul Ibanez had tied yet another game with yet another ninth inning home run, and the loss was not even the worst thing that happened. Derek Jeter is done. Twenty-four hours ago I could not have imagined how deflating it would be, even if you'd laid o...
Here's The Insane Suplex An Alabama Defensive Lineman Laid On A Missouri Running Back
Missouri was basically running clock in the closing moments of its blowout loss to the Crimson Tide yesterday. After a 38-minute lighting delay in the second quarter—which came with Alabama already ahead 28-0—and a full day of getting pretty relentlessly pounded by both the weather and an Alabama ...
"Raul Can Definitely Lay Down The Pipe": Twitter Explains Ibanez
What cannot Raul Ibanez do? What situation cannot he handle? Of all the situations with the possibility of can, there is nothing he cannot....
Raul Ibanez Comes Through With A Game-Tying Home Run To Send Game One Of The ALCS Into Extra Innings
With fans filing out in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Yankees down to their last out, Raul Ibanez did what Raul Ibanez apparently does, hitting a game-tying home run to send the first game of the ALCS to extra innings. Jose Valverde had given up a two-run home run to Ichiro earlier in the i...
Good News, Everyone, A-Rod Is Back: Your ALCS Open Thread
Mr. October July? Rodriguez is back in the starting line-up (if you call "batting sixth" the starting line-up). Dog Fister and Andy Pettitte square off in chilly New York, and the ghosts of Orioles past will fly aimlessly through stadium, moaning resonantly and giving players from both sides the chi...
Justin Verlander And Kate Upton Are A "Good-Looking Pair," According To Justin Verlander's Grandfather
Say, did you hear the rumor that Tigers ace Justin Verlander is dating supermodel Kate Upton? Exciting stuff, no? Well, Celebuzz says it's true, and that "multiple family members"—Verlander's and Upton's grandfathers, to be exact—"have confirmed it."...
