A Look Inside NBC's Playbook For The Super Bowl Broadcast
With 18 seconds left in the first half of Super Bowl 43 and the Cardinals on the doorstep, James Harrison picked off Kurt Warner and barreled 100 yards for a touchdown, dancing along the sideline as he went and narrowly breaking the plane of the end zone before Larry Fitzgerald dragged him down. As ...
Stephen A. Smith Did America A Favor And Flipped Skip Bayless The Bird
While I'm hesitant to praise ESPN First Take blowhard Stephen A. Smith for anything, an exception can be made for moments of distinguished valor—or at least doing something every single one of us has wanted to do on multiple occasions, like flipping Skip Bayless the bird. Last week Terrell Suggs ...
Gisele Bundchen Sends Email
Gisele emailed some people about the Super Bowl, which her husband is playing in. One of those people forwarded it to the Post, which is how we got to where we are today.

In Los Angeles, Two Seconds Last Forever
At the very end of regulation, with the Kings and Blue Jackets tied, L.A.'s Drew Doughty scored a gamewinner. It went to a video review, and Doughty was credited with a goal with 0.4 seconds remaining. Then they showed the replay, and all hell and confusion broke lose....

Apparently Darko Milicic Never Invests Any Of His Money, Or Even Puts It In A Bank

Dear Brian Cashman, I Am Wearing Your Pajama Pants In Your Mistress's Living Room
Back in October, Deadspin acquired photos that showed Brian Cashman, general manager of the Yankees, meeting with an alleged girlfriend in February 2009.

Man Named Tom Brady Says Thing, Radio Station Reports
"I'm Tom Brady, I'm from Staten Island and I predict Giants will prevail," Tom Brady told some poor reporter at 1010 WINS who drew the short straw. When you're scraping the bottom of Rick Reilly's barrel for Super Bowl week stories, it's probably time to rethink things....

Clint Dempsey Has Issued His Immediate Rebuttal To Landon Donovan's Rebuttal
Five minutes after we published this paean to Landon Donovan's performance thus far in the Premiership, Clint Dempsey responded with a strike that broke the gridlock and gave Fulham a 1-0 edge on West Bromwich Albion.

Charles Oakley And Anthony Mason Had Some Profane Opinions On Those Awful Raptors Jerseys
Flash back to the '95-96 season, when the Toronto Raptors entered the NBA wearing their cartoon dinosaur jersey. (It's incredible that this was only 16 years ago, and someone thought these were okay. I mean, they were mocked at the time, but not enough. Not enough.) A former Raps employee recalls a ...

Here's Aston Villa's Ridiculous Own Goal That Put QPR Up 2-0
It's been another mediocre season for Aston Villa, and no play may characterize the struggles of the claret and blue squad than this play, in which Stephen Warnock cleanly lands a header directly into his own net. Villa landed a goal of their own late in the first half to cut QPR's advantage to 2-...

All The Photos Other Reporters Took Of Ines Sainz At Super Bowl Media Day
There is nothing more predictable than TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz attending Media Day, except maybe a rush of other reporters commenting on how Ines Sainz is attending Media Day. To illustrate how she's only there for attention, a large number of these reporters either pose for photos with her, o...
Here's To The Lovable, Impish Bill Belichick
There are two schools of thought on Bill Belichick. One is that he's a humorless football Jawa devoid of empathy or any animating purpose save destruction or creeping MILFs. The other is that he's probably all those things, and that rules, because "he wins games for us!" That latter opinion is proff...
