Giants Have Too Many Questions For Teddy Bridgewater To Be The Answer
No quarterback receives more excuses for his interceptions than Eli Manning–which isn't at all to say those excuses don't have some validity.

Report: Gronk's Return Could Have Come Sooner Without Arm Surgery

So Many Manningfaces: Your Giants-Bears Roundup
Bears 27, Giants 21: A game on short rest was the least helpful thing to the Giants' 0-5 woes. New York actually held it together for the most part, though, and their defense gave the team a chance.

How Those Painfully Awkward Local Commercials With Athletes Are Made
You've probably seen a local commercial with one of your area's athletes, and it was most likely awful and unnatural. For me, nothing will beat Dustin Pedroia's cringe-worthy Sullivan Tire ad. ("I don't believe it. It's Jim Rice.") This funny video featuring Scott Hartnell proves that there's a scie...
This Umpire's Strike-Three Call Is "Whoomp There It Is!"
Via former MLB pitcher Mark Mulder, who told Busted Coverage that Bobby Crosby, his former A's teammate, sent it to him. Crosby's brother, a scout in Northern California, took the video. There it is....

Major Wright–But <em>Not</em> Terrance Williams–Sued For African Diamonds Loan
So, which is the better story here? TMZ's report that Bears safety Major Wright's diamond trading company is being sued for not repaying a loan that carries 100 percent interest? Or that TMZ's initial report claimed Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams was in on it too, but quickly removed him after h...
Sources: Magic Johnson Left ESPN Because Of Bill Simmons
So, why did Magic make his sudden announcement that he's leaving ESPN, less than three weeks before the NBA season begins? An announcement so sudden that the newest addition to NBA Countdown, Doris Burke, appears to have had no idea it was going down?...
Rick Reilly's American Indian Father-In-Law Says Reilly Misquoted Him
Last month, ESPN's Rick Reilly came out in support of the Redskins' name. The backbone of his argument? Father-in-law Bob Burns, a Blackfeet elder, who supposedly said he doesn't care about the team name. Burns has written a response for Indian Country Today Media Network, and oh man. ...

Why Your Cardinals Suck
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates last night, because the Cardinals don't like it when another team like the Pirates or Nationals dares to threaten their self-appointed status as America's Baseball Sweethearts. They'll move on to face the GLORY BOY Dodgers in the NLCS, and somehow ...

Daniel Snyder Hires The One Man In Washington Worse Than Daniel Snyder
A man so badly fucked that he'll hire Lanny Davis is a man who's finished, and so everyone who detests Daniel Snyder, the imperious prick who owns the Washington Redskins and claims he'll never change their name, can rejoice.
