One-Handed Safety Makes One-Handed Interception
Identical twin brothers Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin committed to UCF today, but the two DBs—Shaquem's a safety, Shaquill's a cornerback—were on the field for one final high school game last night. The International Bowl, pitting American prep stars against the world's best, saw Shaquem dive for t...
Tuesday Night Fights: Philly Stripper Ogles Exotic-Dancer Brouhaha, Assesses Blame
Welcome to Tuesday Night Fights, a weekly celebration and analysis of street-fight videos found on YouTube. Tonight's fisticuffs: the since-deleted "Strippers Fight Over A Dollar."

Mario Balotelli Does Thing
Things seemed to be looking up for Mario Balotelli. First, he won a transfer to AC Milan, putting the Italian striker back in his home country. Then he scored twice in his debut for i Rossoneri....
Liverpool Could Score Only Once Against A Goalkeeper Trying To Give Up Goals
When Europol announced it had found evidence of 680 matches that might have been fixed by gamblers, investigators teased us with the good stuff. Champions League ties were among the questionable matches, including at least one in England. It took about a day for it to come out, and while the English...
Two Weeks After Bizarre Radio Show Appearance, ODU Basketball Coach Blaine Taylor Fired
Old Dominion fired head basketball coach Blaine Taylor today following last night's loss to George Mason that dropped the Monarchs to a very un-regal 2-20 record on the season. While at first glance the firing isn't a surprise given the team's record, you'd expect a coach who has achieved so much—...
Is America Ready For Gus Johnson, Soccer Announcer?
Last spring, Gus Johnson showed up in the unlikeliest of places. Less than a year removed from parting ways with CBS and joining Fox, Johnson was decidedly out of his comfort zone. A familiar voice over college hoops, and with Fox the NFL and college football, here was Johnson, on the radio, calling...
Lindsey Vonn Was Airlifted From The Slope At The World Championships After This Brutal Crash (UPDATE)
Lindsey Vonn, the 28-year-old American skier and Olympic gold medalist, was airlifted from the slope at the World Championships in Austria this morning after a hideous, sudden crash in the Super-G. Her injuries are still unclear, though the AP reports that it appeared to be her right knee. If fe...
Here's A Pretty Between-The-Legs Bounce Pass
Paul George executed this slick between-the-legs bounce pass in the first quarter of the Pacers game against the Bulls. George found fellow Pacer George Hill for a an easy layup....
Here's Video Of Newcastle's Danny Simpson Unconscious and Bleeding After A Late-Night Street Fight
Perhaps Danny Simpson is best known as a former Manchester United youth player, or as the boyfriend of a pop star and X Factor judge, rather than for his soccer skills. Now he can be the Newcastle defender who got knocked out outside a Manchester club late Saturday night! Surely that's an accompli...
How Many Boobs And Nut Shots Were In The Super Bowl Commercials? A Sex-And-Violence Supercut
Another year, another 70-plus multimillion-dollar round of hyper-produced spots for the Super Bowl featuring silent women in bikinis, abused consumers, and CrAzY CoLLiSiOns. May we never forget the two magic words—sex and violence—and may we never evolve....
John Harbaugh Shoved A Photographer Just Before The Postgame Handshake
So, wait. Let's make sure we have this straight:...
Here's Will Ferrell's Bizarre Old Milwaukee Super Bowl Ad That Only Aired In Sherman, Texas; Ardmore, Okla.; and Glendive, Mont.
Will Ferrell's strange Old Milwaukee ads that no one sees are rapidly becoming a Super Bowl tradition. Last year's aired in North Platte, Neb., the second-smallest TV market in the country. Last night's—a solid minute of Ferrell making out with an Asian lady as Chinese music swells and the camera ...
Watch CBS Herp And Derp Its Way Through The Super Bowl Power Outage
Drew already highlighted how last night's Super Bowl blackout led to some spectacularly bad television. From repeated assertions that the game would resume "in about 15 [or 20] minutes" to sideline reporters fumbling for words, the Tiffany network spread fecal material all over the Superdome and ...
Shirtless Ravens Fan Celebrates By Jumping Off Building Ledge, Landing In Tree, Falling Out Of Tree
There was certainly more idiotic revelry taking place in the Federal Hill section of Baltimore last night, but a consolation prize may be in order for this genius. I mean, what must this person have been thinking, filming a ridiculous moment like that vertically on a smart phone?...
A Brief Reminder From Last Night's Celebration In Baltimore: Don't Hang On Street Signs, Idiots
Baltimore's Federal Hill raged in "mostly peaceful" celebrations last night, with only one recorded near broken back on the corner of East Cross Street and This Seemed Like A Really Good Idea Five Minutes Ago Boulevard....
This Is The Most Mesmerizing Video From The Super Bowl
This year's Super Bowl was heavy on the dramatic build-up but short, at times, on the execution. (The lengthy power outage delay didn't help.) There was one moment, though, that both inspired numerous emails from readers and captivated everyone's attention, if only for a few seconds. We have Frank...
A Profane Joe Flacco Thinks Winning The Super Bowl Is "Fuckin' Awesome"
We're inclined to agree, though not having ever won the Super Bowl ourselves (even vicariously, having grown up Browns fans) we'll have to take his word for it. [CBS]...
The Lights Went Out In The Superdome
What a weird Super Bowl this has been. The Ravens are all over the 49ers, but it's been a handful of big plays rather than methodical domination so it almost feels like San Francisco is still in it. A fake field goal, a kickoff return, a 56-yard tumbling bomb of a touchdown, an exploding guitar an...
Jacoby Jones Just Returned The Opening Kickoff Of The Second Half 109 Yards For A Touchdown
According to CBS that is an NFL record. The Ravens won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half. The decision allowed Jones to break an NFL record and toss his hat in the ring for Super Bowl MVP alongside Joe Flacco. NFL record and two pretty exciting touchdowns? We like his chances. ...
The Ravens Dig The Deep Ball: Joe Flacco And Jacoby Jones Connect For The Play Of The Super Bowl (So Far)
We've previously mentioned Baltimore's affinity for the deep ball and here is Joe Flacco, once again, successfully going long. He may have underthrown it just a bit (give him a break though, he did throw it 50 yards downfield), but Jacoby Jones helped his quarterback out. He caught the ball as h...
