Joe McKnight Is Really Sad About Having To Play Cornerback
The Jets lost all-universe corner Darrelle Revis to a torn ACL on Sunday, so—being a resourceful and depth-strapped organization—they're converting Joe McKnight, their kick returner and third-down running back, into a cornerback. Joe McKnight is not happy about this:...

This Is Not Golden Tate, ESPN
We get that things were a bit hectic after the final decision in last night's joke of a professional sports contest. But really, ESPN? Identifying Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson as receiver Golden Tate? That's almost as bad as misidentifying an interception for a touchdown catch....

Arkansas' Season-Long Nightmare Is In Full Swing
Against Arkansas today, Alabama covered the over (51 points) without allowing Arkansas to score. This is a difficult thing to accomplish. Vegas didn't see it coming - the last line I saw was Arkansas +20.5 - but at least two Razorbacks fans knew this one was going to be the college football equivale...

Which Rookie Quarterback Had The Most Poise After His First Start?
Mark Sanchez was the king of "poise" during his rookie season in 2009. That year, you'd have been hard-pressed to find any writers using any other word to describe him (seriously, you would).

Remember about 17 hours ago, when the Arkansas Razorbacks lost to 30-point underdog Louisiana-Monroe in Little Rock?

Bob Kraft's Girlfriend Didn't Get The Part In That Movie, Despite Her Weird Bikini Audition
It's important to remind everyone that Ricki Lander's audition for The Internship did not require a bikini, nor playing off a 71-year-old man, but she thought it would better her chances to include both. All for naught, as the part of Marielena went to someone else, an actual professional actress...

Rawlings Sues Wilson Over Brandon Phillips's "Gold" Glove
The Gold Gloves are mostly pointless, and largely a corporate gimmick. (They're officially the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, and have been since 1957, when they were thought up by a Rawlings sales manager for some free advertising.) They have cachet, because they're voted on by managers and coaches, a...

Australian Broadcaster Tries To Explain On-Camera Blowjob Gesture With Ridiculous Excuse
Reporter Jim Wilson was in the middle of speaking on Australia's Sky News when the broadcast unexpectedly cut back to the studio, where host James Bracey appeared to be mocking Wilson with what looked like a blowjob pantomime. It's caused a bit of a fuss Down Under, as explained by The Australian ...

Raise A Pint For The Short, Fat, Drunk, And Dead Darts Legend Jocky Wilson
On this week's excerpt from Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast, Mike Pesca tells the story of Scottish dartsman Jocky Wilson, who died in March. Wilson dominated the sport in the early 1980s, and spent the rest of his career as a wonderfully larger-than-life sort. Just one line from his obituary i...

C.J. Wilson Tweets Mike Napoli's Phone Number. It's Less "Good Prank, Guy" And More "Wow, Dick Move."
Oh good, I see we've reached that point of spring training where everyone's bored and ready for real baseball to start. Tis the silly season, when online personality and sometime pitcher C.J. Wilson takes to Twitter and posts former teammate Mike Napoli's cell phone number to the world....

Play-By-Play Man Loses His Mind On Three-Quarter-Court Buzzer Beater
Everyone loves a good game-winning buzzer beater, especially when it travels almost the entirety of the court and catches nothing but net.

The Winter Of A-Rod Continues: He's Dating A Wrestler/Playboy Model/Muscly Blonde
We always suspected Rodriguez's "blood-spinning treatment" was just a metaphor for nailing another toned blonde off the A-Rod girlfriend assembly line. (Hair color can be artificial, and come to think of it, so can the muscles.) Rodriguez has been out and about with Torrie Wilson, a grande dame of p...

Panther Kion Wilson was parked outside a Charlotte Best Buy on Monday afternoon when someone broke into his pickup truck and stole four guns.
