Northwestern Reaches New Low, Falls Down On Last Play, Loses
We told you earlier that Northwestern and Michigan were playing a hilariously bad contest today. Even with some points, the second half topped the atrocious first.

Northwestern And Michigan Are Playing One Of The Worst Games Ever

A YouTuber named Kyle Quinn gave some candy corn (which is garbage) to an outrageously cute sixth-grader in China. That sixth-grader thought it was a candle, and threw it in the trash. That sixth grader is the best sixth grader....
Does Banana Bread Belong In Your Beer?
Bananas are pretty good. I'm not sure if Deadspin has ever issued a ranking of the fruits (editor's note: duh), but they probably have, and it was probably wrong, because everyone always underestimates kiwis and pretends to be too cool for apples. But if I were ever consulted on such a project, I'd ...

Rob Gronkowski—whose skull houses one 14-oz. official NFL "The Duke" football, and whose circulatory system is chiefly responsible for the delivery of Natural Light—has been incredible for the last few weeks. Tom Brady's missed his best receiver at full speed, and they're making up for lost time. ...

Ole Miss athletics director Ross Bjork has written a letter to the editor of the Opelika-Auburn News, which caught a lot of shit this week for running a photo of Ole Miss receiver Laquon Treadwell suffering a season-ending injury during Saturday's game against Auburn on its front page. Bjork's lette...

Auburn Newspaper Defends Publishing Photo Of Laquon Treadwell's Injury
One of the most crucial and dramatic plays in college football this year also featured a season-ending injury that remains painful to look at.

Wes Welker's Back Got Mushed By Devin McCourty
Wes Welker took a nasty hit to his back from Patriots safety Devin McCourty, and the Broncos receiver stayed down on the field for a bit. (Meanwhile, Brandon Browner intercepted the tipped pass.) Welker got up on his own, and his return is probable, somehow. ...
Auburn Beats Ole Miss After Winning Touchdown Wiped Away By Injury
Fourth-ranked Ole Miss appeared to have scored the winning touchdown at home against Auburn tonight with 90 seconds remaining, when Laquon Treadwell crossed the goal line.

Did <em>NBC Nightly News</em> Go Live To A Man Who Was Taking A Piss?
