JaVale McGee Threw A Free Burrito Party, But Only One Dude Showed Up [UPDATE]
JaVale McGee invited 10 Twitter followers to a free lunch with him at Chipotle yesterday. And in typically JaVale fashion, the invitation was well-intentioned, but poorly thought out, producing a hilarious result. Given just five minutes notice, only one fan made it to Chipotle: Andy Mathisen, who d...
1,100 Households Watched The Astros Game On Sunday, The Team's Worst TV Rating Ever
The weekend Nielsens are in, and Houstonians are apparently enjoying the last of the summer. Nearly half-a-million households, or 44 percent of TVs in use, were tuned in to the Texans' boring win over the Dolphins. That's not great—worse than all but four games last year. But it's gangbusters compar...

Vikings Rookie Placekicker Forces Tie, Breaks Tie, Receives Tie
Week one of the NFL season was full of strong debuts. But the best rookie quote came, to no one's surprise, from the Vikings kicking unit. Blair Walsh nailed the first four field goal attempts of his career on Sunday, all of them coming after the third quarter. His third was a 55-yarder as time exp...

NBC Has Only Shown Four Total Hours Of The Paralympics, And The IPC Would Like To Know Why
It seems quaint now, bitching over NBC's lack of live Olympic broadcasts, when the International Paralympic Committee has its own complaints about the network's coverage: zero live TV, and what little there was shunted to the little-watched NBC Sports Network. And now the IPC president is openly won...
"Fuck You Tennis! I'm Trying To Watch <em>How I Met Your Mother</em>." Twitter Responds To The Novak Djokovic-Andy Murray U.S. Open Classic
Last night Andy Murry and Novak Djokovic played a 4 hour, 54 minute match, tied for the longest U.S. Open men's final ever. It was a gem. CBS scheduled the Monday match in the 4 p.m. slot to ensure tennis wouldn't bump into its primetime lineup. That didn't work. The nearly unprecedented match stret...
Chris Berman's Comb-Over Has Reached Ernie McCracken Levels
Chris Berman's much-ballyhooed turn at the mic to call a live Monday Night Football game came and went last night, and without much drama. He was better than last year's Mike & Mike experiment, at least, though his reliance on baseball terminology to call a football game was disconcerting and event...

The U.S. Open Finally Gets A Classic: Andy Murray Is A Grand Slam Winner
Andy Murray always said his favorite Grand Slam was the U.S. Open. Something about the noise, the music, the late nights. It was a weird thing for a Scotsman to say, since he was not so subtly turning his back on Wimbledon, and the British fans....
Jose Canseco Says You Were A Pussy If You Didn't Do Steroids
Jose has long been a personal muse, but things are starting to get a little out of hand and I'm worried we will have to part ways. For instance, this shirtless, mirrored-sunglassed, tits-bouncing video right here....
Libya-Algeria Soccer Brawl Featured A Perfect Flying Kick To The Head
It's qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations, and yesterday Algeria met Libya in neutral Morocco (since Libya's still not one of the more stable countries.) An Algerian strike in the 88th minute broke a scoreless draw and gave the Desert Foxes an all-important "away" goal. As the whistle blew on fu...
Sean Connery Approves This Message
Sean Connery is watching the Novak Djokovic-Andy Murray U.S. Open men's final at Arthur Ashe Stadium this afternoon. Connery has been out in New York all weekend rooting hard for Murray, a fellow Scotsman. And after Murray won a point in that delirious first set of today's match? You're the man now,...

Everyone, leave Syria, leave Afghanistan, the Pulitzer for breaking news photography is now a one-shot race.

Here Are The 21 Worst Replacement Referee Mistakes From Sunday
Despite management-friendly scribes swearing to the contrary, the NFL's replacement officials made some enormous errors yesterday—some of which affected the outcome of games and at least one that directly led to a starting quarterback being knocked out of the game. That's not to mention losing trac...
Everyone On Twitter Was Confused About Why Willis McGahee Didn't Say "The U" In His Player Intro Last Night
During Sunday Night Football, something weird happened. It wasn't that the quarterback with the misbehaving cervical vertebrae threw for 253 yards with two touchdowns and only seven incompletions, and it wasn't that the Steelers still hadn't learned how to cover Demaryius Thomas. Both of those eve...
Note To Coaches: Saying Your Students Wear A Rival's Colors Because "They Couldn't Get Into" That School Is Not A Good Idea
Western Kentucky's gearing up for a big football game at cross-state rival Kentucky this weekend. Part of the festivities: Hilltoppers players are carrying footballs around campus, and if any fans can steal the ball and bring it to coach, they'll get to travel with the team. (This is a recipe for fu...
