This Robot Wins At Rock-Paper-Scissors Every Single Time
In the coming robot war, the only advantage we humans will have against the machines is our irrationality. They won't expect us to smuggle the nuke into their underground server farm at the cost of our own lives. They won't expect us to throw paper again after throwing it three times in a row. Tha...
Tony Romo Thinks You Should Re-Measure That Spot
So Tony Romo was pretty great yesterday. (He's a pretty great quarterback.) Tasked with being nearly the entire Cowboys offense—55 designed pass plays to just eight handoffs—Romo made just one mistake against the Vikings, a fourth quarter INT, that simply set up a game-winning drive. But that's no...
Man Assaults Mascot During Game Of Musical Chairs Gone Wrong

GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period. The highlight was Ray Emery skating the length of the ice to fight Braden Holtby, who wanted none o...
Pascal Dupuis Pulls Out His Own Tooth
You should probably go ahead and not watch this if you're squeamish. Yes, the tooth was part of a bridge, so the pain might have been minimal, but self-dentistry is never pleasant....
Marshawn Lynch Had No Idea Buffalo Was Not In New York City
Marshawn Lynch was profiled on last night's E:60, and it was a fairly candid look at Lynch's upbringing in Oakland. But the single best moment was Lynch recalling his reaction to being drafted by Buffalo in 2007. The West Coast kid wasn't exactly up on his East Coast geography....
This Is Possibly The Biggest Wave Ever Surfed
That little speck in the distance is Brazilian surfer Carlos Burle, riding the storm surge off Nazaré, Portugal, a spot already notorious for big waves. Burle's might have been the biggest ever, but it wasn't even his biggest accomplishment of the day; He also saved a life....
Beards Caressed In Sensuous Slow-Motion
Jonny Gomes earned a facial hair-fondling on account of his home run last night that proved to be the game-winner. And, really, who on the Red Sox is more befitting of the beard than Gomes? He was likely born bearded. ...
<em>Hockey Night In Canada</em> Intro Set To Arcade Fire Is Most Canadian Thing
Hockey Night In Canada openings are always quality stuff—this one stands out. Tonight's intro used "Reflektor" by Montreal-based Arcade Fire. It's weird in an awesome way....
Colts Kicker Pat McAfee Breaks Down His Crushing Tackle
On Sunday night, Pat McAfee leveled Broncos return man Trindon Holliday. It earned him plaudits from kickers everywhere, and a "random" drug test. This week on the Indianapolis Star's "Pat McAfee Show," McAfee walked a live audience through the "the most athletic portion of my life."...
Lightning Defensemen Combine For Humiliating Own Goal
The timing couldn't have been worse. With 1:49 left in regulation, just 40 seconds after the Lightning had taken the lead on the defending champ Blackhawks, Matt Carle inexplicably and forcefully fired a pass back at Radko Gudas. It deflected off a surprised Gudas's skate, skittering past Ben Bishop...

Remembering Pat Summerall's Wonderful <em>Murder, She Wrote</em> Read
Yesterday's episode of A Football Life profiled longtime broadcaster Pat Summerall, who passed away earlier this year. It was loving without being hagiographical, devoting an entire segment to Summerall's alcoholism. But the most fun bit was this, noted and pulled out by Kissing Suzy Kolber....
Antti Niemi Makes A Ridiculous Leg Save On A Baffled Todd Bertuzzi
The NHL scoring leaders proved last night that they can win with defense—a 1-0 shootout win kept the Sharks undefeated in regulation, and it was capped off by this blatantly unfair save by Antti Niemi on Todd Bertuzzi....
Andrew Luck's Rushing Touchdown Led Wes Welker To Consider Mortality
Andrew Luck and the Colts spoiled Peyton Manning's homecoming in Indianapolis to the tune of a 39-33 win over the Broncos, and Luck's rushing touchdown in the third quarter made the changing of the guard as obvious as Manning's missed receivers and interceptions. ...
