Rex Ryan's Tattoo Is Real, And He Might Just Change The Number If Mark Sanchez Doesn't Improve

Add Slovakia To The List Of Places NHLers Would Rather Play Than Long Island
As hockey's wandering sons, scattered to the four winds by the lockout, converge back on the NHL, veteran defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky wants to say put in Slovakia. After being traded to the Islanders over the summer, he'd rather stick with his KHL team than come back and get paid millions of dollar...
Carmelo Anthony And Kevin Garnett Got Into Some Kind Of Scrum In The Belly Of Madison Square Garden
The Boston Celtics beat the Knicks in Madison Square Garden Monday night 102-96 and it sounds like Carmelo was pissed. The hostility began when Garnett and Anthony got into it a little bit in the fourth quarter during a dead-ball period that resulted in double technicals for the two. At the end of t...
Kate Upton Throws Some Shade At Notre Dame And The Jets During BCS Championship
Kate Upton just destroyed the Jets and Notre Dame on Twitter. As of this writing, Alabama is dominating Notre Dame 42-7. So, really, there's no sense trying to say something biting here because she's right. She's goddamned right....

University Of Texas Track Coach To Step Down Following Investigation Into Relationship With Former Student-Athlete
Bev Kearney has been the women's track and field head coach at the University of Texas since 1993 and has overseen six National Championship squads in that time. In October, Kearney was placed on paid administrative leave when, it now seems, a former student-athlete with whom she had a "consensual i...

During Washington's 31-28 victory over the the Ravens five weeks ago, Haloti Ngata brought down Robert Griffin III during the fourth quarter, leaving Griffin limping.

The NHL Lockout Is Over; Play To Start Within The Next Two Weeks [UPDATED]
Five days short of a January 11 deadline that would have scuttled the entire season, the NHL and NHLPA have reached a deal that, pending approval from a player vote, will end the lockout and allow for a condensed 50-game season. Teams will likely only play other teams from within their own conferen...
MLS Isn't Interested In Citi Field, Because When You Can Plow A Massive Park To Build A Soccer Stadium, You Do It
The opening of the Barclays Center hasn't been without its challenges. Even after most of the ideological debate—lawsuits over eminent domain stalled the project for years, affordable housing advocates vociferously protested the development—dissipated in the wake of the arena's opening, structural ...
Your NFL Wildcard Open Thread
Cincinnati at Houston (NBC), 4:30 p.m.: The Texans may have the superior record but they backed into the playoffs, losing three of their last four, while the Bengals haven't lost a game by more than one point since Week 9. Plus, it'd be more fun if they won, so root for them....
The Bengals Really Could Break Their 8,400-Day Playoff Winless Streak Today
For a summer in college I interned for the sports department of the Columbus Dispatch, which sent me for a few days to cover Cincinnati Bengals training camp. The 1990s had just come to a close—a dismal era even by the Bengals' standards—and the beat writers killed time during practice by stumping o...
A Group Of Bros Infiltrated The Knicks Locker Room, Asked Gregg Popovich About J.R. Smith, And Got Kicked Out After Snapping A Picture Of Half-Naked Carmelo
On Thursday night, Peter and his friends had courtside tickets to Knicks-Spurs, a gift from a family friend that meant an up-close view of the game in which Stephen Jackson injured himself tripping over Mike Bloomberg's waitress and J.R. Smith did this. After it ended, they did what anyone would do ...
Mike Francesa Cannot Work In This Filth
Via Awful Announcing, WFAN's sports talk radio creature from the black lagoon Mike Francesa decided to start yesterday's show with the one thing he knows his listeners care about most: how messy the previous show's hosts left his desk. It's a fun rant though, especially coming from a guy who knows...
Mercifully, Tony Siragusa Will Not Appear On Your Televisions This Playoff Season
Tony Siragusa's book entertained us, even though he lied in the course of promoting it. But he consistently fails to entertain us on NFL telecasts. He also consistently fails to inform us, about football or, for that matter, anything else. This sweater was the high point of his 2012. Kenny Albert an...
J.R. Smith's Reverse Alley-Oop Shouldn't Be Humanly Possible
The game was out of hand at this point—San Antonio, playing their fourth in five nights, had benched most of the starters, and the Knicks had followed suit. That doesn't take a thing away from the athleticism required to put home this reverse alley-oop, fired by Pablo Prigioni from about 15 feet a...
Rex Ryan Has A Tattoo Of His Wife Wearing A Mark Sanchez Jersey
As the media waits patiently at Florham Park for comment on one of the all-time worst and weirdest seasons ever, Rex Ryan is just living it up in the Bahamas. Sun, sand, surf, just him and his wife. And no lousy reporters. This is paradise. ...
Passed-Out Drunk Guy Forces Fiesta Bowl Officials To Evacuate Women's Restroom
Even with Oregon's offense out on the field tonight in Glendale, it sounds like there's been nonstop excitement in the stands as well. Arizona NewsNet has just passed along word that the women's restroom in one part of the stadium had to be evacuated for a medical emergency:...
Stephen Jackson Injured When He Trips Over Courtside Waitress Serving Mayor Bloomberg
Spurs veteran wing Stephen Jackson suffered a bizarre injury at Madison Square Garden tonight when he appeared to trip over a courtside waitress in the first quarter of San Antonio's bout with the Knicks. Even stranger, it appears the waitress was serving Mayor Bloomberg himself. Of course, we hav...
