Sam Gagner Tied Gretzky's Oilers Record With Eight Points Last Night
The last time an NHL player had an eight-point regular season game (1988), Sam Gagner wasn't born yet. That he tied an Oilers club record held by legends like Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey makes his performance last night against Chicago that much more glorious. Since we can't depend on you havin...
The L.A. Kings' Explanation For Last Night's Clock Discrepancy Is Bullshit. Here's Why.
The Los Angeles Kings' explanation (via GM Dean Lombardi) for last night's clock disaster that gave them a win over Columbus is ludicrous for two reasons. The first, and again quoting Lombardi in the Los Angeles Times:...
"Cut Back To A Wide Shot. Open The Skull": The <em>Faces Of Death</em> Guy Looks Back
John Alan Schwartz was on a California beach, trying to capture something life-affirming on camera. Or something that at least would contrast with death. He had a woman and a baby in a hot tub. This was going to be the final scene of his 1978 movie Faces of Death—a low-budget stunt project that wo...
A Kid Was Doing Something Weird With A Foam Finger In The Background Of Colin Cowherd's Show
We're not sure exactly what this is, but a spectator outside the set of The Herd With Colin Cowherd was engaged in some bizarre activity with a foam finger earlier today during Cowherd's conversation with Matt Forte. Is he playing guitar? Pretending it's a shotgun and he's on a rampage? Something ...
The Mavs Were So Fed Up With The Officiating, Rick Carlisle Kicked A Ball Off A Little Kid's Head
The Thunder took 33 trips to the line, and the Mavericks didn't think that was particularly fair. "We attack the basket strong and didn't get anything," said Shawn Marion. "They call ticky-tack down on the other end."...
Stephen A. Smith Did America A Favor And Flipped Skip Bayless The Bird
While I'm hesitant to praise ESPN First Take blowhard Stephen A. Smith for anything, an exception can be made for moments of distinguished valor—or at least doing something every single one of us has wanted to do on multiple occasions, like flipping Skip Bayless the bird. Last week Terrell Suggs ...
In Los Angeles, Two Seconds Last Forever
At the very end of regulation, with the Kings and Blue Jackets tied, L.A.'s Drew Doughty scored a gamewinner. It went to a video review, and Doughty was credited with a goal with 0.4 seconds remaining. Then they showed the replay, and all hell and confusion broke lose....
Clint Dempsey Has Issued His Immediate Rebuttal To Landon Donovan's Rebuttal
Five minutes after we published this paean to Landon Donovan's performance thus far in the Premiership, Clint Dempsey responded with a strike that broke the gridlock and gave Fulham a 1-0 edge on West Bromwich Albion. It's Dempsey's seventh goal in the last three matches at Fulham's home Craven Co...
Landon Donovan Offers A Rebuttal To Clint Dempsey Fans Worldwide
From now until the end of the season, we'll be posting a number of clips from the previous weekend's English Premier League games. If there's a goal, save, dive, lip-read profanity, or hocked sputum we should know about, drop us a line at [email protected]. (You might also enjoy our better-late-than...
Here's Aston Villa's Ridiculous Own Goal That Put QPR Up 2-0
It's been another mediocre season for Aston Villa, and no play may characterize the struggles of the claret and blue squad than this play, in which Stephen Warnock cleanly lands a header directly into his own net. Villa landed a goal of their own late in the first half to cut QPR's advantage to 2-...
At Least Eight 40 70 People Killed After Egyptian Soccer Fans Storm Pitch (UPDATE)
Supporters of Egyptian side Al Masry invaded the field after today's 3-1 win over Al Ahly in Port Said, attacking Al Ahly players and security personnel. Al Jazeera is reporting that eight people have been killed and more than 60 injured. [via 101 Great Goals]...
Aaron Rodgers Pisses Into Wind, Complains About Lack Of Effort At Pro Bowl

Give Them A Pretty Lady In A Tight Dress, And Reporters At Media Day Become Comic-Con Nerds
Doing the lord's work, the guys at Sports790 in Houston followed around Televisa Deportes sensation Marisol Gonzalez for a bit. Not to leer, but to see who might be caught leering. They were not disappointed. [via @sportsfeeder1]...
"Somebody Fucking Go": Broadcaster Mocks Dion Phaneuf's Girly Voice When He Thinks He's In Commercial
Ray Ferraro called TSN's broadcast of Leafs/Penguins tonight, and as sometimes happens with online streams (in this case, the NHL's GameCenter Live), viewers watching during televised ad breaks were treated to a live mic. And while we've heard announcers swear before, hearing Ferraro take a stab a...
If This Drunk Canadian Just Kept His Mouth Shut, His Hat Wouldn't Have Gotten Pissed On
Oh, this poor, poor Canadian chappie. He's 34. He calls out a kid with a Mohawk because "we used to shave our heads." Then, he confronts brochacho wearing sunglasses at night in homage to Corey Hart, more likely than not. He then pulls the surrogate-father line of meddlin'....
Sorry Giants Fans, Chad McGhee Thinks The Patriots Will Dominate Your Team In The Super Bowl
Chad McGhee, the dean of Texas high-school six-man football observation, has some thoughts he'd like to share about the NFL's biggest game of the year. Granted, he had predicted the San Francisco 49ers would face the New England Patriots on Sunday. But, that doesn't change his vision of the outcom...
A Madman Handcuffed Himself To The Goal During The Everton-Manchester City Match
We've no clue the protest this man is engineering (his t-shirt says something about Irish airline Ryanair) but the Everton-Man City match was put on hold for about five minutes as police attempted to unchain this hooligan from the goal. It's a good thing he chose the opposite end from Tim Howard;...
Russell Westbrook's Dunk Attempt Did Not Go As Smoothly As Blake Griffin's
This might be a bit tough to watch after seeing Blake Griffin consume and excrete Kendrick Perkins, but every yang needs a yin and if there's anything other than that dunk to serve as synecdoche for last night's 112-100 Clippers win over Oklahoma City, it's Russell Westbrook being stuffed by the ...
Blake Griffin Just Dunked On The Entire Perkins Family Tree
It's only halfway through the abbreviated NBA season, so I'm hesitant to dub anything dunk of the year. But here it is, dunk of the year—and of course it's from Blake Griffin. Kendrick Perkins's family requests no flowers be sent. [NBA TV]...
Hand Trying To Win Job
Here's the tail end of a package that ran on KSTP-TV in St. Paul tonight about Marlins pitcher Brad Hand, a Minneapolis native fighting for a spot in the Miami rotation. You can see a bit of a giggle in sports anchor Joe Schmit's voice as he realizes the unfortunate turn of phrase in the over-the...
