This Is Pretty Terrific

Female Ex-Coaches Accuse UMD Of Discrimination, Harassment, Anti-Canadian Sentiment In Lawsuit

Three former women’s coaches at the University of Minnesota Duluth sued the state’s university system in federal court today, all saying they were victims of discrimination while working for the university.

ESPN Says Curt Schilling Will Be Back For The Playoffs. Let's See What He's Been Up To. [UPDATE]

ESPN baseball commentator Curt Schilling, who earned himself a fairly lengthy suspension for sharing a crazy-ass meme about Muslims and Nazis on his Facebook and Twitter pages, will be back in the booth studio for ESPN’s MLB playoffs broadcasts. So, does this mean Schilling has stopped putting insan...

"Eat A Whole Can Of Chewing Tobacco," And More Terrible Reader Dares

On Friday, we asked you to tell us about the craziest dare you ever accepted. You all came back with stories of eating things you shouldn’t have eaten, getting naked in places you shouldn’t have gotten naked, and doing various things you definitely shouldn’t have done—especially since in many cases,...

Gregg Popovich Hilariously Fucks With An NBA TV Reporter

NBA training camps are starting up this week, which means it’s time for lots of relatively useless soundbites about what great shape everyone is in and how good everyone’s jump shot looks. This is a natural environment for the notoriously salty Gregg Popovich to be as cranky as possible in, and that...

Nationals Suspend Jonathan Papelbon For Choking Out Their Best Player

Since MLB isn’t equipped to punish a player choking out his own teammate in the dugout, the Nationals gave a four-game suspension to fuming goblin Jonathan Papelbon for attacking Bryce Harper during Sunday’s game....

Ben Revere Blows Water Jug Bath, Dumps It All Over Himself

Josh Donaldson’s solo home run gave the Blue Jays a walkoff win over the Rays Sunday, and that’s lovely, but let’s talk about Ben Revere’s water-dumping skills. The outfielder was so excited about the opportunity to dump the jug on his teammates that he totally fucked it up....

EL-P On The New Cat-Rap Classic <i>Meow The Jewels</i>: "It's A Lonely And Strange Thing"

Embrace the moment: One of the most feverishly anticipated hip-hopalbums of the year is finally here, and it’s made up almost entirely of sampled cat sounds. It’s called Meow the Jewels, and you can download it for free right here, and its backstory is now the stuff of internet (and cat) lore. It st...

Nation Demands Pro-Jonathan Papelbon Takes; Fox Sports Provides Them

The trouble with a story like yesterday’s Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon fight in the Nationals dugout is that it does not contain much—any—ambiguity. It is unambiguously wonderful, that oh-God-this-is-so-fucking-stupid kind of wonderful, and also Jonathan Papelbon unambiguously is a belligerent too...

Son Of Jets Coach Caught Talking Shit About Players In Locker Room

The son of Jets tight ends coach Jimmie Johnson learned a valuable lesson about Twitter yesterday. The lesson, as always, is to never tweet....

Things Did Not End Well For This Daring Browns Fan

The photo above was taken by a reader who was tailgating at yesterday’s Browns game, in an area aptly named The Pit. We’ll let him tell you what happened next:...

Brandon Marshall Says His Failed Lateral Was "The Worst Play In NFL History"

That’s hyperbole, of course. Mark Sanchez was right there on the Eagles sideline for this one, and he could tell you about a worse play that took place in this same stadium. But Marshall’s lateral attempt that donked directly off an opponent’s facemask was momentous in the same tragicomic way....

FanDuel Ads Use Georgia Tech Football Players' Images Without Permission Or Compensation [UPDATE]

As if daily fantasy sites weren’t loathsome and exploitative enough, we learned last week that FanDuel has, for weeks, been using an image of former Georgia Tech football stars Roddy Jones and Jason Peters without their knowledge, their compensation, or permission from Georgia Tech’s athletic depart...

Cam Newton: Ed Hochuli Said I Wasn't "Old Enough" To Get A Call

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton stirred up some drama during his postgame press conference yesterday, claiming that muscle-bound referee Ed Hochuli told him he wasn’t “old enough” to earn a personal foul call....

Enjoy The Matt Williams Farce While You Still Can

It is a testament to the Washington Nationals’ dysfunction that the dugout fight between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper almost made sense compared to everything that came after. A team’s for-hire closer trying to choke the league MVP is one thing, but it’s absolutely inexplicable that manager Ma...

Three Images From The Bears Game (So We Never Have To Speak Of It Again)

Already deeply flawed and lacking the injured Jay Cutler, the Bears weren’t expected to do much against the Seahawks. Chicago managed to surprise, though, accomplishing even less than that....

Miko Grimes Allegedly Arrested At Dolphins Game [UPDATES]

Miko Grimes, wife of Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl defensive back Brent Grimes, appears to be getting arrested by Miami-Dade Police Department officers in a video posted this afternoon to YouTube. ...

Jonathan Papelbon And Bryce Harper Brawl In Nationals Dugout

The Nationals are really deteriorating as their season comes to an end. They somehow have a winning record, but the dugout has gotten downright toxic. Just this week, Papelbon plunked Manny Machado then Bryce Harper called him out for it. Today, tensions boiled over and the two got into a fight in t...

Tom Brady Becomes Fourth Quarterback To Throw 400 Touchdowns

With this easy one-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Danny Amendola in the second quarter of today’s game against the Jaguars, Tom Brady joined Dan Marino, Brett Favre, and Peyton Manning as the fourth quarterback to throw 400 or more touchdown passes in an NFL career....
