Surviving The Lockout: Boris Diaw's Extreme Umbrella Commercial
Today was payday. November 15th was to see players receive 1/12th of their 2011-2012 contracts, but with nuclear winter coming on, they're out the equivalent of a month's salary—$220,000 on average. Actually losing money for the first time is hard on some players, like Samardo Samuels....
Louisville Players Weren't Prepared For Pitt Because They Were Busy With The New <i>Call Of Duty</i> Game
So, this is the thing: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is awesome, and everyone rushed out to buy it when it came out on Tuesday. The NCAA probably should have just canceled all games for this weekend, because crucial Big East showdowns feel a lot less crucial when the Russians are invading Lower Man...
Yesterday: The Greatest Catch That Never Officially Happened Of The NFL Season
There hasn't been much to be happy about recently in Kansas City, save Todd Haley's beard. Yesterday the Chiefs lost to Tim Tebow, who completed but two passes all day, and his third-string running back, Lance Ball....

Santonio Holmes Gets Vocal About A Pass Interference No-Call
As far as incidental broadcasts of sports profanity go, this is pretty tame (the only less-offensive being your Bobby Knight "chickenshit") but Santonio Holmes' complaint about the no-call on this pass in the second half of the Patriots-Jets SNF matchup is still amusing—especially the belated atte...
A Brawl Broke Out In Chicago
If you were watching the game, you saw this coming somewhere around the end of the first quarter, but the bitterness between the Bears and Lions finally came to a boil when a frustrated Matthew Stafford threw Bears defensive back D.J. Moore to the ground after tossing yet another interception, the...
Teams Should Probably Stop Punting To Devin Hester
The Detroit Lions brought in a new punter this week and apparently no one gave him the memo that Devin Hester is really good at returning punts. Robert Malone made the mistake of kicking it in Hester's vicinity and, well, you can see what happens from there....
Buffalo's David Nelson Scores Touchdown, Gives Ball To Cowboys Cheerleader Girlfriend
You might have read this week about Kelsi Reich, Cowboys cheerleader and longtime girlfriend of Bills receiver David Nelson. So of course when Nelson caught a touchdown pass in the first half of Buffalo's matchup with Dallas today, he sprinted to the other side of the field in order to give her t...
Watch Jarius Wright Make A Catch That Defines Ridiculous
There really are no words to describe Arkansas Razorback Jarius Wright's catch in the first half tonight against Tennessee, except "concentration." Even though he can't even see the ball for half of the play, he seems to know exactly where it is and how to come down with it cleanly. This is sick....
BBC Uses Extremely Unfortunate Abbreviation For "Assistant Coach Sandusky"
The BBC drags the name Sandusky through the mud. You wouldn't believe it if we didn't have video, so check it out. ...
The Taiwanese Animation For The Penn State Scandal Is Batshit Insane, Even By Taiwanese Animation Standards
Did you know these videos aren't even aimed at Taiwanese people? Next Media Animation knows their twisted takes on Western news play well in America. It's been a while since we ran one of them, because by pumping them out almost daily they've watered down what was once a special treat. But their v...
Swedish Hockey Player Snaps Stick On Breakaway, Improbably Scores Anyway
Jonte Berg is a winger for Västerås, in the second-highest tier of Swedish hockey. As he got set on a breakaway last night against Malmö , the last thing on his mind was that his stick might snap. After the stick broke, the last thing on his mind was that a Malmö defender would kick it into the ne...
You Will Never Be As Excited About Anything As A HS Football Announcer Is About This Field Goal
The big Marist/St. Patrick game came down to the final second. We presume all of Chicago stopped what they were doing and pulled their cars off the road to watch a field goal try for the win. What they got: Pyrotechnics. [Awful Announcing]...
Watch A 101,300-Ton Bin Laden-Dumping War Machine Become A Basketball Court
Love time-lapse videos. Love them. Nothing better for the arrested attention span than to compress a week's worth of construction on the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego into a handy YouTube video. And on the eighth day, they balled. [via SBNation]...

Self-Proclaimed World Champion Gets His Ass Handed To Him By 61-Year-Old Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Charlie Zelenoff is an internet legend. An unstable, unemployed Californian, he has spent the last few years living the online persona of an undefeated boxer. He's made fake belts for himself, refers to fights against heavyweight champions that never actually happened, and most hilariously, "edited"...

Here's Video Of Rioting Penn State Students Flipping A News Van (And Other Fun Videos)
The scene gets intermittently ugly on Beaver Avenue, with the first casualty the WTAJ news van. It's fair to say most students on the streets are well-behaved, just coming outside to see what happens. There are also a lot of shitheads out there tonight....
Here's The Highest Wave Ever Surfed
Off the Portgual coast, the Nazaré Canyon is an undersea chasm the size of the Grand Canyon that funnels enormous waves directly to Nazaré Beach. That's where American Garrett McNamara caught and rode one estimated at 90 feet—a world record. And best of all, while you watched him ride it you proba...
