Brian Cashman Looks Pretty Chill For A Guy Who Just Had Ankle Surgery
So it turns out that Brian Cashman's skydiving mishap from earlier today probably didn't result in him suffering a compound fracture. That's good, because compound fractures are gross. Cashman did end up with a broken fibula and a dislocated ankle, though, and he just got out of surgery for the lat...
Matt Schaub Says The NFL Will Never Evolve Beyond The Pocket Passer
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Schaub thinks Wilson, Kaepernick, and RG3 are just aberrations....
This Fantastic Photo Captures The Moment A UFC Fighter Breaks His Opponent's Jaw
Mark Hunt knocked out Stefan Struve at 1:44 in the third round of yesterday's UFC event in Japan, but he didn't just knock him out. The left hook knocked out a tooth, and as Struve would later discover, broke his jaw....
Joe Flacco Continues To Be A Super Boring Dude
Anyone who was under the impression that Joe Flacco's father was being overly harsh when he described his son as "dull" will be changing their minds after reading this tweet from CBS Sports' Will Brinson:...
Stephen A. Smith Thinks Hockey Has Ties, Is Not As Dumb As People Who Expected Hockey Analysis From Stephen A. Smith
After weeks of increasing criticism of ESPN's less-than-comprehensive hockey coverage, the NHL finally made SportsCenter. After a 19-0-3 start, a record, the Chicago Blackhawks have finally become a "sports" thing instead of a hockey thing. But be careful what you wish for: on this morning's Sport...
Brian Cashman Looks Pretty Chill For A Guy Who Just Suffered A Compound Fracture
Yankees GM Brian Cashman went skydiving today in order to help raise awareness for the U.S. Army's Wounded Warriors project. Things were going fine until Cashman's second jump, when he broke his ankle so severely that the bone came bursting through his flesh....
The Golf Boys Have Returned To Rap Horribly At You
It was almost two years ago that the Golf Boys—a group consisting of PGA pros Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Ben Crane, and Rickie Fowler—released "Oh Oh Oh" onto the world. Their follow up, cleverly titled "2.Oh," sees the Golf Boys taking a huge leap forward in production value while bringing the w...
Jim Valvano Gave His Moving ESPYs Speech 20 Years Ago Today
Jim Valvano's famous ESPYs speech was 20 years ago today. Valvano had bone cancer and it was unclear if he would even have the energy to appear at the ESPYs. This is what former ESPN executive John Lack said about it in Those Guys Have All The Fun:...
What's Joe Flacco's Record Deal Really Worth?
Let's put this simply: Joe Flacco's six-year, $121-million contract is actually for three years and $62 million....
Patrick Kaleta Deserves A Long, Unpaid Vacation For This Hit From Behind
Noted Buffalo dirtball Patrick Kaleta has been somewhat quiet recently—slipping all the way to a career-low 10th on the most-hated players list, but he's angling to get back among the leaders after this brutal cross-check that sent New York's Brad Richards headfirst into the boards....
Kobe Dunks Like Kobe Hasn't Dunked In Years, And The Lakers Are At .500
After a stirring one-point win over the Hawks last night, the Lakers find themselves in a place they haven't been since Dec. 28: at .500. This means you can no longer objectively call them a bad team. You could call them an average team, but they've been on a quiet roll for more than a month....
Pitcher Forgets He Is Playing Baseball, Tackles Runner Trying To Score
This is pretty bizarre, even for Division III college baseball. While the pitcher (Berry College) is winding up—with the bases loaded—the batter (Hendrix College) calls, and is awarded, time out. The pitcher continues his motion and throws home....
Here's JaVale McGee Dancing In A Predator Mask
After this and this, and surely after this, we allowed ourselves to hope that, maybe, the Internet meme of the Harlem Shake would quickly fade and then die, because fuck the fake Harlem Shake and everyone who condones its existence....
Watch This Short UFC Fighter Beat The Living Shit Out Of This Huge UFC Fighter
Last night, 5'10 heavyweight UFC fighter Mark Hunt (9-7) took on seven-foot Dutchman Stefan Struve (29-6). Most casual spectators and diehards alike probably assumed that the larger, leaner Struve would beat Hunt, and maybe even make short work of the podgy kickboxer, because that's how fighting usu...
This Is One Of The Craziest Buzzer-Beaters You Will Ever See
I know I just posted a video of some sixth-grader hitting a buzzer beater to win the league championship. Forget about that stupid kid. He is meaningless. This shot right here might be the craziest thing I've ever seen. New Rochelle was trailing by 10 with three minutes to go and mounted a stron...
Sixth-Grader Hits Half-Court Buzzer-Beater
With two seconds left in a 33-33 tie in the Central Louden Loudoun (VA) Basketball League's championship game, Team Red attempted to inbound the ball but it was picked off by Alex, of Team White, who promptly drained it from half court....
Arsenal Fans Throw A Banana On The Pitch
It's being reported as a banana thrown at Gareth Bale, but that does not really make much sense. Not that racism makes sense, but usually the racist European soccer fan reserves his banana-related taunts for black players. As you see in the video, the referee clearly picks up a banana thrown on th...
A Performance Of The Ages
On Saturday, No. 3 Duke beat No. 5 Miami 79-76 in a revenge match for Hurricanes' January throttling—"they even slapp[ed] the floor in an apparent jab at the Blue Devils' tradition"!—and as Coach K. said, it was our privilege....
The NFL Appears Totally Ready For An Openly Gay Player, So Long As You Overlook Its Teams And Players
One of the most unintentionally hilarious sentences currently in print can be found on this SB Nation post by Robert Wheel, a.k.a. Bobby Big Wheel, called "What the NFL can do to support gay players." Beneath, a comma-spliced subhed reads: "The NFL is ready for a gay player, the problem is the rest ...
Alex Rodriguez Only Gave $5,090 Of The $403,862 He Raised For Charity To Charity
The Boston Globe dug through the world of shady athlete charities this week, and while many of their findings were disappointing (if not surprising), we'd be remiss if we didn't highlight one charge in particular. It's been a while since anyone thought Alex Rodriguez was a stand-up guy, but this see...
