Thanks To Chris Kluwe, Gay-Baiting Maryland Legislator Decides NFL Players Have A Right To Say What They Think After All

Look At This Asshole Yelling In Some Guy's Face Because He Wouldn't Sit Down At A Soccer Game
Apparently at Seattle Sounders games some people stand up the entire time as a show of support. That's cool, I guess. I'd prefer to sit in the seat for which I've paid, but to each his own. Some find it annoying because of the whole "better door than window" thing. I am also capable of understandi...
Serena Williams Won Her Fourth U.S. Open Title In The First Good Final In 17 Years
Hope you tuned in when we warned you—it ended up being pretty great. For the first time since 1995, a women's U.S. Open final went to a third set, and it was a closely contested one at that. After breezing through the first set in only 34 minutes, Williams was turned back just as easily by Azarenka ...
The Return Of Peyton Manning: Your Sunday Night Football Viewing Guide
Pittsburgh at Denver: Usually I get a little pukey about "story lines" in big games.

Arkansas's Drop Out Of The Top 25 Is Second Only To Michigan's After The Appalachian State Debacle
Remember about 17 hours ago, when the Arkansas Razorbacks lost to 30-point underdog Louisiana-Monroe in Little Rock?

Nate Washington Scores Touchdown, Does Willie Beamen Dance From <i>Any Given Sunday</i>
Nothing quite like an homage to a 13-year-old film. But there's Nate Washington of the Tennessee Titans doing the Willie...Willie Beamen dance after cutting New England's lead to 21-10 (after PAT; now 28-10). Lot of embarrassing celebrations out of this one. [CBS]...
Here's Rob Gronkowski Making An Ass Of Himself While Actually On The Field
We're used to seeing Gronk make a fool of himself on the dance floor or at bars, usually without a shirt on. Gronk flipped the script on us this week, though, after scoring a touchdown against the Titans. Gronkowski goes for his patented Gronk Spike and in all his excitement, it squirts out of his...
Robert Griffin III's First Touchdown Pass Was An 88 Yard Strike
There’s a lot of excitement in Washington, D.C. these days and here is the primary reason. The Saints scored on a quick play of their own and Griffin comes right back and hits Garcon for 88 yards. With three minutes left in the first quarter Griffin has 123 passing yards (12 rushing) and one touchd...

Lance Thomas May Have Bought Improper Jewelry While Starting For Duke's National Championship Team
In 2009, Lance Thomas, then a forward for Duke (now a New Orleans Hornet), bought $97,800 worth of jewelry at Rafaello & Co. in midtown Manhattan; he paid $30,000 upfront and the store expected him to pay off the remaining balance in 15 days.

Camera Spontaneously Disintegrates While Cameraman Films Interview
Peek-a-boo is not just a fun game for babies. It's also good fun for adults watching some boring rugby interview or whatever when a cameraman disappears as quickly as he pops up on screen when his camera falls apart and he drops it all over the place....
Florida State Didn't Cover Against Savannah State Because They Played With A Running Clock And Ended The Game Halfway Through
Yesterday, we talked about Savannah State football throwing itself on the altar of an increased budget for the school's athletic department; today, we see the absurd fallout that can result from a cupcake game no one is particularly invested in. The Tigers had been slaughtered 84-0 by Oklahoma State...
Are The Dolphins Really Super Bowl Contenders?
Oh my goodness, no. No, no, no. But it's the first week of the season! Anything is possible. In a few hours football becomes a reality, but for now, we can still dream.
