Derek Jeter Denies Giving Gift Baskets To One-Night Stands
The fun and beauty of Derek Jeter gossip isn’t in its truthfulness—it’s that it can go so far while still remaining plausible, which says more about the Jeter mythos than an accurate rumor ever could. Jeter’s engaged now, but he took a minute to finally address one of the more famous rumors from his...
Soccer Star Gets Police Called On Him By People Thinking He Was A Terrorist
It’s perfectly understandable how one might look at Radja Nainggolan and imagine him a strange character. It’s also understandable why one might hold the belief that he should be locked up for his numerous assaults on opposing players’ legs. What isn’t so reasonable is seeing the Roma midfielder jus...
Frozen-Food Smackdown: Totino's Pizza Rolls Vs. Hot Pockets Snack Bites
Dweezil Zappa’s dad memorably declared that a country’s legitimacy is predicated upon its having its own airline and its own beer, and maybe a football team and a nuclear arsenal for good measure. With all due respect to the groovy and departed, I’d like to suggest that in this more enlightened age,...
The Rams Finally Bench Nick Foles
That it’s taken this long for the Rams to make the switch from Nick Foles, who has led St. Louis to league-worst marks in just about every passing metric, is more a testament to the fact that Plan B isn’t very attractive either. But at 4-5, they aren’t out of things yet, so why not put up a Hail Mar...

Police: Brawling, Hospitalized Cowboys And Eagles Fans Are Brothers (UPDATE)
In the video above (via The Big Lead), you can see a pretty good right hook from a Cowboys fan take down an Eagles fan at last night’s game in Dallas. Just another example in a long list of football fans exhibiting uncivilized behavior and beating the shit out of each other at a game, right?...
This Shot May Not Have Counted, But It's Still Cool As Hell
Unfortunately for Celtics forward Jae Crowder, there’s some sort of rule against heaving a full-court inbound pass straight into the bucket. This rule is clearly stupid, and Crowder should have been awarded five points. ...
Andre Drummond Is A Hilarious Monster
After scoring 25 points and yanking down 29—twenty-goddamned-nine!—rebounds against the Pacers last night, Pistons center Andre Drummond’s per-game numbers are looking downright stupid. He’s averaging 20 points and 19 rebounds per game, and he’s the first player since 1985 to score at least 80 point...

Raiders Owner Mark Davis Cheered By Fans He Wants To Abandon Or Steal From
The NFL held its third and final town hall meeting on relocation last night.

Remember When Joe Dumars Didn't Want The Pistons To Tell Him About His Father's Death?
Edinson Volquez’s father Daniel died of heart disease yesterday, hours before Edinson started Game 1 of the World Series. It seems that Volquez did not know about his father’s death as he pitched six innings, but there were a lot of conflicting reports. ...
This Is The Best New Pumpkin Beer
Booze and leisure bloggers have no need for calendars, but we do require many of the same ointments, detergents, and jerkies that bring the rest of you into Walgreen’s on a regular basis. That trip is also how I know that Halloween hasn’t passed yet: The salted-pomegranate candy corn has yet to give...
Russell Wilson And Ciara Channel Supposed Sexual Frustration Into Costume Party
R&B singer Ciara’s 30th birthday was Sunday, and to celebrate, her boyfriend Russell Wilson threw her a party. The couple dressed up as Catwoman and Batman, and Wilson strengthened the theory that it’s incredibly difficult to not look like a dork in a full Batman costume. (Sure, you feel cool, and t...
