Caroline Wozniacki And Rory McIlroy Obnoxiously Remind Us That They Are Nos. 1 And 2 In The World

The Jets-Bills Game, In One Flinching Sanchez And One Steamrolled Bison
Mark Sanchez is not a wide receiver. He is a quarterback, a celebrity, a franchise, a patron of the arts, a deviant, and a pitchman, but he's not a wide receiver. So when he lined up wide in the wildcat (and as for why the Jets were running the wildcat up 16 with three minutes left, your guess is ...
Mike Wallace Intercepted Ben Roethlisberger Pass Intended For Antonio Brown, Scored Touchdown
What a play by all involved. Big Ben scrambled and kept the play alive while Mike Wallace followed his quarterback, adjusted his route and made a big play. That only leaves Antonio Brown.

Moments Later, Nick Saban Turned Green And Tore A Referee's Torso In Half
In what is turning out to be the most boring Biggest Game Evar, Alabama is tied 3-3 with LSU at the half in a game filled with hard hits and big mistakes—including three missed Crimson Tide field goals.
