The Crying Alabama Fan Gets The Last Laugh
You do remember the crying Bama fan, don't you? Dressed like Bear Bryant, a blonde sorority girl on his arm, moved to tears by an overtime loss in the Game of the Century.

Chronicling Brent Musburger's "Honey Badger" Obsession: A Video Compilation

This Is Not Actually The Halftime Score, ESPN
I mean, it is, but that team should have that much and that team should have that much. Close enough. The production truck's only half paying attention; field goals will do that....

Your Alabama-LSU BCS Championship Game Open Thread
One of the arguments often cited by supporters of the bowl system and the BCS is that every game counts. LSU had already defeated Alabama in this season's Game of the Century, but—presto!—it's like it never happened. Who needs a playoff with a system like that? One thing's for certain: an SEC team ...

Surfing Bro Surfs On His Moving Car's Windshield
This dude, far as we know, has no real back story to him yet; he is just some dude who chose to climb out of his car sunroof on a country road and surf on the windshield in his surfer shorts while his fellow dude filmed from below. He is known on The Internet so far as "Crazy Dude," and that seems...

Kwame Brown Says He Taught Andrew Bynum "Everything He Knows"
The public's relationship with Kwame Brown, the number one draft pick of the 2001 NBA Draft, has really evolved over the years.

Thierry Henry Scored For Arsenal In His Homecoming Match To Put Them Up 1-0 On Leeds
Call it a fairytale, call it destiny, don't call it offside (which he was, most definitely) but Thierry Henry scoring for Arsenal—where he scored a club-record 226 goals between 1999 and 2007—is a story from the pages of British pulp fiction. That he scored the deciding goal in the Gunners' FA Cu...

With New OT Rules, Demaryius Thomas Didn't Realize The Game Was Over
So, this new playoff overtime. It's more fair, but it's also confusing. This is because hypotheticals are confusing, and I would rather have Phil Simms orgasm an explanation after the fact than have to keep in mind multiple scenarios while the game is still going on. The new, non-sudden death OT can...

City Of New York Cancels Mutton-Bustin', Rodeo's Greatest Event
The scores of finance bros and curious onlookers who crowded into Madison Square Garden for the arena's annual dabble in rodeo over the weekend did not get an authentic picture of the tradition.

The boxing world was abuzz last week with the revelation that a gentleman in an extremely shady black hat might have interfered with judges' scorecards while ringside at the Amir Khan-Lamont Peterson fight in Washington, D.C. in December.
