Nick Saban Gets Heated With Media, Offers Some Impromptu Marriage Advice
Alabama is playing FCS school Charleston Southern this week, a cupcake opponent that would be very easy for the Crimson Tide to look past. Well, some of those turkeys in the media might be overlooking Charleston, but Nick Saban sure as hell isn’t....
After All That, The University Of North Dakota Chose A Boring New Nickname

This Dion Waiters Attempted Layup Is The Saddest Thing I've Ever Seen
Dion Waiters has been better this season, I swear. He’s shooting an astronomical 48% from three on 2.5 attempts per game, and his rebounding is up too. But he’s still Dion Waiters, and so we’re still treated to moments like this:...
Nobody Makes Dirk Nowitzki Bleed His Own Blood

Andy Dalton and J.J. Watt have reached that point, and both men are standing down....
<i>AP Stylebook</i> Declares Which College Teams Get To Go By Their Initials
I said this the last time I blogged about the Associated Press sports styles, and I’ll say it again: I find this stuff fascinating, and it’s my blog, so if you don’t like it you can just go right back to the toilet you came from....
This Guy Walked Around The World With $6,000 And A Violin, And Only Had His Nuts Grabbed Once
As I understand it, a Bulgarian farm worker grabbed Andrew Siess’s nuts with his left hand while holding a gun in his right hand. He wasn’t pointing the gun at Siess, mind you, just holding it. Siess pushed him away, but the Bulgarian guy—speaking the international language of aggression—again grabb...
Cris Carter, Lame Dad Who Doesn't Know What Dabbing Is, Defines Dabbing
Okay, so we’re now into the third day of talking about Cam Newton dabbin’ on dem folk and this morning on Mike and Mike, Mike Greenberg and Cris Carter discussed what dabbing is.

New York Belongs To King Kristaps
Okay, yes, a 7-foot-3 rookie averaging 12 points and eight rebounds through the first 12 games of his career isn’t the wildest thing to ever happen.

The <i>Zoolander 2 </i>Trailer Makes It Look Tolerable, At Least

Zlatan Kills Denmark On The Field, Then Torches Them With Sick Burn
This version of Zlatan Ibrahimović is older and worse than the one we loved and feared. Not that a little thing like age could keep him from stomping out Denmark on his way to qualifying for Euro 2016, and dancing over the body in an interview after....

Tony Romo Is Back And Is Somehow Still Thinking Super Bowl
With the rest of the NFC East looking like a shambling mediocrity, the division seemed like it was the Cowboys’ to take. Then Tony Romo got hurt in the second half of Week 2, and the Cowboys haven’t won since. And yet, somehow, they’re not out of the playoff hunt yet, and Romo will return off IR to ...
