Caroline Wozniacki And Rory McIlroy Obnoxiously Remind Us That They Are Nos. 1 And 2 In The World
We should only be so cynical about young love, but young love should only give itself so many insufferable personalized nicknames and offer so many reminders that the young people in question—the Wozz in "Wozzilroy" is 21 years old and the Ilroy is 22—hold the best and second-best world rankings in ...

You Must Watch This Long, Bizarre Video Résumé For Free Agent Cuban Defector Yoenis Cespedes
Maybe you remember Aleksey Vayner, the man whose video résumé took the snarking corners of the internet by storm in 2006.

Jerry Sandusky, Joe Paterno, And Why "Good" People Fail To Do The Right Thing
At some point in the coming weeks, Joe Paterno is gonna step down as the head coach at Penn State, and the reason why is because there's no possible way to reconcile the statement he issued yesterday with the details from the grand jury report that say, specifically, that Peterno was told that Jerry...
Alabama Waited Until Sunday To Give Students SEC Championship Ticket Info
There's poor timing, then there's sending out a schoolwide email telling Bama students to get on the waiting list the day after their overtime loss to LSU. This isn't as wrong as it seems, though. Crimson Tide fans have just as much right to purchase tickets to the SEC Title Game as do fans of the s...
The Woozy, Barfy Aftermath Of The New York City Marathon: A Video
The finish line at the New York City marathon is a strange place to be: There is a general air of triumph, of course, but physical despair and agony nearly overshadows it.

Andrei Arlovski Hasn't Knocked Out A Top Fighter In Years, But Good Lord Did He Knock Out This Guy
There was a time when Andrei Arlovski stirred fear in the hearts of other heavyweight fighters.

Joe Frazier Is Not Dead Yet, Despite One Australian Paper Desperate For A Scoop
As tends to happen when famous people are very ill (and even when they're not), Twitter killed Joe Frazier last night. It just takes one person jumping the gun, or one person misinterpreting another's tribute. A retweet here, a failure to wait for a legitimate source there, and the deed is done. The...
The Jets-Bills Game, In One Flinching Sanchez And One Steamrolled Bison
Mark Sanchez is not a wide receiver. He is a quarterback, a celebrity, a franchise, a patron of the arts, a deviant, and a pitchman, but he's not a wide receiver. So when he lined up wide in the wildcat (and as for why the Jets were running the wildcat up 16 with three minutes left, your guess is ...

Mike Wallace Intercepted Ben Roethlisberger Pass Intended For Antonio Brown, Scored Touchdown
What a play by all involved. Big Ben scrambled and kept the play alive while Mike Wallace followed his quarterback, adjusted his route and made a big play. That only leaves Antonio Brown.

Eli Manning Beats Tom Brady, Will Still Not Be Considered Elite: Your Sunday NFL Roundup
For whatever reason, Eli will always be considered just an "OK" quarterback. Maybe it's because he is a contemporary of some very, very good quarterbacks—one of whom is his big brother—or maybe it's because he is kind of a doofus. Either way, here's your Sunday roundup. Enjoy....

As Recently As 2009, Jerry Sandusky Was Running An Overnight Football Camp For Kids On Penn State Campuses
Of the child sexual assault charges against former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky, the fact that stands out most is that Joe Paterno, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz were aware of incidents as early as 2002.
