Reports out of the various shit-stirring tabloids in New York are that Geno Smith will take over as the New York Jets starting quarterback.

The Return Of Johnny Manziel: Counting Money And Refusing Autographs
Johnny Manziel returned to action this afternoon after his half-game suspension and quickly started making noise. After a 23-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter—which put A&M up 38-21—Manziel seems to celebrate by counting theoretical (spiritual?) cash. ...
Politics Is Dirtier Than Usual In Virginia
This is a delicious bit of political gamesmanship in the race for Virginia governor. The University of Virginia hosts BYU today at 3:30 p.m. and at 5:30 p.m. Virginia Tech and Alabama will kickoff at the Georgia Dome. Naturally, both games provide large, captive audiences for the candidates to infl...
Patriots QB Tim Tebow: A Remembrance

How To Barbecue Ribs: A Guide For The Perplexed
Pork ribs are to Serious Barbecue—which is something distinct from the burgers-and-dogs routine for which your average Suburban Dad-type unfurls his "Kiss The Cook" apron on the odd sunny July weekend—what the four-seam fastball is to pitching....

For close to eight minutes Olbermann does to Pete Prisco what Prisco does on the john and calls a column. ...
Yu Darvish Is Just Toying With Batters Now
You might think this clip came straight out of a Gas-House Gorillas-Tea Totallers game, but it only looks like a cartoon. Yu Darvish so thoroughly confounded Trevor Plouffe with this lazy curveball that he began his swing on Thursday....
Trapped In The Water Closet, Featuring Fernando Rodney

Here's Video Of A Man Swallowing A Human Toe
The Downtown Hotel, in Dawson City, Yukon, has a tradition. For $5, patrons can order the Sourtoe Cocktail, a shot of whiskey containing a severed, preserved human toe. You must let the toe touch your lips. You must not swallow the toe, on pain of a $500 fine. On Saturday, a man swallowed the toe....
I Kind Of Like Tim Tebow Now
The hatred of Tim Tebow and the hatred of the attention lavished on Tim Tebow are wrongly, if understandably, mixed.

Redskins LB Tackles Two Bucs At The Same Time
