A <em>Clash Of Clans</em> Addiction Nearly Sank The Royals' Season
A baseball season is long enough that any successful team will invariably slump, break out of it, and with hindsight be able to point to the year's largely symbolic turning point. For the Royals' narrative, that turning point was the clubhouse valiantly overcoming its crippling addiction to mobile g...
Croatian Boxer Viciously Attacks Referee After Match
Croatian boxer Vido Loncar took on Algirdas Baniulis at the European Youth Boxing Championships in Zagreb, and the match was stopped after Loncar started getting lit up by Baniulis. Loncar was not happy with that decision, and vented by beating the shit out of the referee....
Escaped NYC Carriage Horse Hassled By The Fuckin' Pigs
This extremely chill carriage horse escaped from his oppressors in New York City this weekend, and proceeded to take advantage of his freedom by going on a morning jaunt down 11th Avenue. ...
Tony Romo Calls Out LB Jameel McClain As The Mike; McClain Disagrees
Quarterbacks call out the Mike linebacker all the time in football. The purpose is so the offensive line knows which defensive players to block, using the Mike as a starting point. (Here's a quick, good explanation for the unfamiliar.) When Tony Romo identified Giants linebacker Jameel McClain as ...
Report: Percy Harvin Fought Teammates, Checked Out Early Vs. Cowboys
As usual in the NFL, sources are pushing out Percy Harvin's past misdeeds to explain the Seahawks' unexpected decision to trade the receiver to the Jets. The Seattle Times picked up a few instances, including a couple of fights with teammates—like the time he reportedly gave Golden Tate a black ...

Royals Fans Celebrate Pennant With Long, Sloppy Victory Kiss
The YouTube description accompanying this video claims that these two lovebirds are total strangers, which seems a little hard to believe, but I guess anything is possible when two people are a few beers deep and the Royals make the World Series for the first time since 1985....
This Woman Wants You To Help Her Bone Sergio Romo
We got a lot of emails this week, but none were better than the one we received on Wednesday from a woman who calls herself K.G. We want to share it with you, not only because we admire K.G.'s free-spirited outlook on life, but because she is seeking assistance....
Jets Fan Reacts To Loss Not With Anger, But Complete Emotional Shutdown
This guy's probably reacted to Jets losses with fury and/or screaming in the past, but maybe he's just sick of it, it being everything. Last night, as the Jets' field goal attempt for the win failed, our Jets fan wasn't able to do anything but promptly walk into the bathroom so he could pretend he...
No, The Refs Didn't Illegally Help The Patriots Line Up Last Night
This is a silly thing, but it's gotten enough traction on Twitter, and enough tipsters have emailed us Zapruder breakdowns of it that we may as well address it. No, the ref nudging a New England linebacker out of the infraction zone on the Patriots' game-winning field goal block wasn't enacting a le...
Bruce Bochy Was The Anti-Matheny, And It Made All The Difference
If you're looking for an argument that having a smart manager in the dugout is integral to a baseball team's success, last night's Cardinals-Giants game is it. Not only did it feature Mike Matheny badly managing his club right into a walk-off homer, it had the manager on the other side of the field,...
The Jets Invented A Whole New Way To Lose Last Night
One of the new jack football axioms is that you run when you win, not win when you run. It's insulation against the backwards idea that successful offenses are built around a dominant running game, and more of a guideline than a hard truth. Leave it to the Jets to stretch even benign football wisdom...
How To Race 26.2 Miles, Chicago-Style
Some of the most exciting moments in marathon racing have happened in Chicago. Not sure why Chicago. Maybe it's because the Chicago Marathon has the financial means to lure big talent with borderline crazy fearlessness—the ingredients of epic races. Maybe, it's because Chicago's infamous weather a...

Official Jets Hype Video Features Climactic Typo
The New York Jets suck, but that didn't prevent them from putting together a neat little hype video in advance of tonight's game against the New England Patriots. The video was posted on the team's Facebook page, and it features all kinds of slick editing and Inception noises and hot guitar licks. I...
Report: Tom Brady Coulda Been A Jet
From the Daily News' Gary Myers comes an alternate history worthy of Harry Turtledove: A source who was in New York's draft room in 2000 claims one scout aggressively urged Bill Parcells to select Tom Brady with the Jets' sixth-round draft pick....
Amar'e Stoudemire Bathes In Red Wine, For Some Damn Reason
This morning, Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire posted a photo of himself bathing in red wine on his Instagram page. At the time, I honestly did not believe he was actually bathing in red wine, because why would a person do that? I was wrong. Amar'e Stoudemire bathes in wine all the damn time....
