ESPN's Heather Cox After Postgame Interview With Stanford Coach David Shaw Cut Short: "Are You Kidding Me?"

The Nebraska Sideline Reaction To A Missed Georgia Field Goal Was Ridiculous
Today's Capital One Bowl (one of only a handful of bowls that are still on broadcast television) has been an exciting barnburner, tied at 31 as of this writing and featuring loads of offensive action.

The Sun Bowl Officiating Crew Botched A Missed Field Goal Call And It Had To Be Overturned On Replay
The Sun Bowl is scoreless midway through the first quarter, though if it were up to the bowl's Big Ten officiating crew, it would be a bit different. That's because they attempted to call a field goal attempt by USC's Andre Heidari good, even though it was obvious to viewers and everybody in the s...
Tony Sparano's Exit Plays Out Like World's Saddest Horse Race
Tony Sparano was a goner as soon as this game ended. He knew it, you knew it—we all knew it. So, rather than talk with reporters about another woeful Jets offensive performance, he just left. No "no comment," "sorry guys, I'm not talking" or "get out of my face, you hyenas"—he just calmly walked o...

Inbounding From Half-Court, 0.7 Seconds Left: No Problem.
Mattoon (Ill.) High School, which counts editor emeritus Will Leitch as a notable alumnus, won its game against Rantoul yesterday off a last-second inbounds pass in a tie game.

An Israeli Rapper Made A Song About Gregg Popovich, And Popovich Knows About It
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has an unlikely fan in X Beautiful, an Israeli rapper.

Dwyane Wade Kicked Ramon Sessions In The Nuts
It's easy to still think of Dwyane Wade as the reckless, wide-eyed young star who led Miami to the 2006 title. But he's almost 31 now, a wily veteran with a bag of tricks—like straight kicking an opponent in the groin and playing it off like an accident....

Your Worst Nightmare: Shark Tank Breaks, Sharks Flood Mall
This went down in Shanghai last week, at a shopping center that happened to have a decorative aquarium in the lobby.
