Report: Bad Call At End Of Patriots-Bills Game Was Because Official Forgot He Wasn't In College
The inadvertent whistle is justly getting most of the attention, but the Patriots’ 20-13 win over the Bills was a terrible game all around for the zebras. And the Boston Globe has a source in the referees’ union who blames the blown call on the final play of the game on an official who mixed up a co...
The Lame Andy Dalton-J.J. Watt Beef Has Come To An End
Following the creation of any beef, there comes a time when the parties involved in said beef have to make a choice: Will they escalate things with another dose of burnsauce, or will they leave the kitchen altogether? Andy Dalton and J.J. Watt have reached that point, and both men are standing down....
J.J. Watt And Andy Dalton Engage In Just The Lamest Beef
Houston beat Cincinnati 10-6 Monday night, in a game that was about as entertaining as that score indicates. Backup Texans quarterback T.J. Yates threw the only touchdown of the game, entering in the third quarter after Brian Hoyer suffered a concussion. With the loss the Bengals fall to 8-1, while ...
Bougie Food Review: Maple Water
Water has gotten too complicated. It’s just two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, clear and basically tasteless. It is nourishing and life-giving. It is perfect....
Vikings Angry At "Cheap" Rams After Late Hits On Teddy Bridgewater
Vikings players and coaches had strong words for the Rams—and especially defensive coordinator Gregg Williams—after Minnesota’s 21-18 overtime win, completed without QB Teddy Bridgewater, who left early in the fourth after being knocked unconscious by a shoulder to the head from CB Lamarcus Joyner....
Teddy Bridgewater Left Momentarily Unconscious After Taking A Vicious Hit
Teddy Bridgewater was attempting to slide for a first down when Lamarcus Joyner ran into him and knocked him unconscious with this vicious elbow strike. The tackle drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. Bridgewater laid there unconscious for a while, before leaving the game to be evaluated for concu...
Sammy Watkins Is Sorry For Calling His Detractors Losers
Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is injured, which means it’s time for unbalanced fans to go on Instagram and yell at him for not being tough and strong enough to play. Watkins got fed up with those comments this morning, and posted the now-deleted screed above to his Instagram account....
The Dumbass Buffalo Bills Invented A Dumbass Quarterback Controversy
On Thursday, Sammy Watkins asked for the ball. It’s now Sunday, and the Bills have the beginnings of the dumbest quarterback controversy in the league. ...
Billy Beane Is One Of The Biggest Water Wasters In The Bay Area
You may have heard that there is a pretty serious drought in California. Starting this summer, water restrictions went into effect across the state. For customers of the East Bay Municipal Utility District (East Bay MUD), the restrictions include only being allowed to water your lawn twice a week (a...
Sammy Watkins Doing This Dumb Drill Is My New Favorite Football Highlight
I have no idea if this drill is something a lot of football players do, or if it’s just Sammy Watkins’s thing, but I do know that I love it....
I Hope The Cubs And Pirates Hate Each Other Now
A day after the Astros advanced with a pitching performance as boring as it was dominating, the Cubs and Pirates figured out how to up the entertainment value even as Jake Arrieta shut Pittsburgh down: a fight!...
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....
Texans Owner: J.J. Watt Wouldn't Have Destroyed His Cell Phone
Is today the day? The day of the judge’s ruling that’ll deliver us from the seven-plus months of emetic debate over deflated footballs? (Or leads to an further arbitration or an appeal, in which case there may never be an end to Ballghazi.) Better cram in all the peripheral news while we still can. ...
An Adult's Guide To Learning To Swim
I truly believe swimmers are not born, but are made (excluding Michael Phelps and his insane body, of course). If you got past childhood without learning how to swim, it’s very possible that you’re now stricken with fear/embarrassment at the prospect. That makes perfect sense; it’s really hard to le...
Bubba Watson Tried To Lawyerball Some Ants
On 5 yesterday, Bubba Watson’s ball came to rest against an anthill. That led to a genial discussion with a rules official over whether Watson was allowed to take a drop. The official classified the anthill as a “loose impediment”; Watson countered that ants, technically, are “burrowing animals.” Bo...
2016 Olympians Will Be Competing In Poop Water, And The IOC Doesn't Care
Following in the grand tradition of pre-Olympic fuck-ups, the International Olympic Committee and 2016 Summer Olympics host city Rio de Janeiro have teamed up to bring us the summer games’ first big problem: shit water....

<i>Go Set A Watchman </i>Isn't A Good Book, But It Is An Important One
If it weren’t for the circumstances surrounding Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman, the novel’s deep flaws might pass by unnoticed. It began life as a private manuscript that, after much editing, became 1960’s critically acclaimed and universally beloved To Kill a Mockingbird, and the two share the same...
This Water Slide Is So Long I Think I'd Get Bored Halfway Down
Action Park, in northern New Jersey, unveiled this absurd 1,975-foot water slide last week, and it has since been verified by Guinness as the longest in the world. Water slides are great, of course, and you’d think the longer they are the better. But about a minute into this ride, I’d already be won...
Hey, You Don't Have To Read Harper Lee's New Book
So Go Set a Watchman, the second book about the main characters from the 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird, comes out today. That’s the safest way to write that sentence: It permits, I think, all the abundant uncertainty and controversy. This is a book, written by someone, about those characters, and...
