The Strange Case Of John Scott And The NHL All-Star Game
John Scott is an NHL player (well, sort of) whose most marketable skill is that he’s 6’8” and willing swing on anyone. He’s bounced around between six teams in as many years, and he’s scored five goals in his career. And yet, Scott is the leading vote-getter in NHL all-star game fan voting due to a ...
Sixers Mascot Gets Robin Lopez A Christmas Present, Catches His Hands In Return
Franklin the dog, much like the team he represents, got walloped on by Robin Lopez last night. I can’t feel bad for ole Franklin here, when he asked for the asskicking....
Here's Your Ready-Made NFL Officiating Conspiracy Theory
In the wake of a string of very visible officiating blunders—and a perceived increase in the number of zebra screw-ups—the NFL this week announced a potentially big change to its postseason procedures, one that will expand the types of disputed calls on which officials will be allowed to consult the...
What Does This Headline Mean?

New York Giants Cut Damontre Moore After He Fought Cullen Jenkins Over Headphones
Damontre Moore is no longer a New York Giant after getting cut yesterday. Now why would the Giants cut a third-round pick in the middle of a *stifles laughter* playoff push? Well:...
Chowderhead ADs Bemoan How College Athletes Choose To Spend Their Own Money
Those in charge of college athletics attempting to exert incomparable levels of control over the athletes they barely pay is nothing new. But even by the very low standards by which athletics directors should be held, Alabama’s Bill Battle and North Carolina State’s Debbie Yow said some some dumb sh...
These Are Fully Theo Epstein's Cubs Now
It still feels weird talking about the Cubs as a team trying to acquire the last few pieces for a championship run, rather than as one that needs to rebuild from the ground up, but that’s where we are: with the reigning Cy Young winner and some of the best young hitters in the game, Chicago doesn’t ...
Even NFL Trash Talking Has Its Limits
Just before halftime of the Jets’ 23-20 OT win over the Giants, WR Brandon Marshall got into it with DT Cullen Jenkins.

The 49ers' Front Office Is Still A Huge Mess
It’s hard to imagine a football team having a worse season, top-to-bottom, than the 2015 San Francisco 49ers. Things stayed messy last night, with various reports stating that team president Paraag Marathe is being shuffled off to a lesser role within the organization, a move that will apparently ta...

Calvin Pryor Blames Rishard Matthews's Injury On Ryan Tannehill's Bad Throw
On the Dolphins’ third play from scrimmage in their 38-20 loss to the Jets, Ryan Tannehill threw a short pass behind Rishard Matthews. When Matthews turned for the ball—it went past him—Jets safety Calvin Pryor slammed into Matthews’s torso. He would leave the game with what were described as rib an...
Odell Beckham's Catch Was Absolutely Ridiculous, Again
It makes you wonder how the Giants ever lose a game, when they can seemingly just throw a football anywhere within his gravity well and he’ll pull it in....
Eli Manning Throws A Pair Of Tip-Drill Interceptions In Rapid Succession
Man, this is some piss-poor luck from Eli Manning. Shane Vereen is one of the best pass-catching running backs in the NFL, so this first pick is pretty inexcusable. The second toss maybe should have been picked, but Will Blackmon redeemed himself and scooped it up anyhow....
