Romney Supporter Who Ran Onto The Field Before Last Night's NLDS Game Has History Of Bizarre Behavior
Cincinnati cops charged Rives Grogan with trespassing and resisting arrest after his stunt last night in which he ran onto the field at Great American Ball Park with a Mitt Romney sign that read "ABORTION IS SIN" on the other side. It turns out this is only one of many such stunts for Grogan, who ...
What The Best Pitcher In Baseball Taught Me About Prep School, Socrates, And The Art Of Not Selling Out
At my old high school, Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, there is a large multi-purpose hall with high ceilings. The hall features large hanging glass panels that extend nearly from the ceiling to the floor, engraved with famous quotations and the image of the speaker. I remember two of the pane...
Roger Goodell Reinstates Saints Bounty Program Suspensions, Writes Prickish Letters To Those Involved
Roger Goodell, having tripped all over his dick as regards the Saints' bounty program, is back to swinging the stupid thing in our faces again. Today, he reinstated the suspensions of all four players, although three of them were given more lenient punishment this time around. Scott Fujita's suspen...

Tonight's Giants-Reds NLDS Game Was Delayed By A Fan Who Ran Onto The Field With A Mitt Romney Sign [UPDATE]
Tonight's NLDS Game 3 at Great American got off to a late start tonight thanks to an Idiot On The Field bearing a Romney-Ryan sign. The reverse of the sign had a difficult-to-read message about abortion on it, and the fan made it from right field to left-center before being corralled by police of...
No, Seriously, Will Someone Help Out Jason Whitlock?
We blipped about the vile, unrelenting hack of Jason Whitlock's Twitter account earlier, but evidently our blip did not get anything done, because this just came into email inboxes here at HQ....
Vince Young Just Wants To Talk, Sends Really Sad Tweet To The Titans
Vince Young is broke and out of work, so you'll forgive him if he retweets the occasional encouraging note. Today, for instance, he retweeted a picture from his Titans days, showing him handing the ball off to Chris Johnson. The fun memory became a desperate plea, however, when VY took the picture a...
Red Bulls Youth Soccer Coach Is Murdered, Has Ear Cut Off In Manhattan
Michael Jones, a 25-year-old youth soccer coach, was fatally stabbed early Monday morning in Manhattan, police said. Jones was from Liverpool and worked for Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls as a coach in the team's youth mentoring program....
Don't Despair, NHL Fans: You Can Watch Imitation Pro Hockey On ESPN! Here's How.
There's still no NHL hockey. It won't be coming back for a while. (But you knew that already.) So what is a despairing puckhead to do? You could always watch college hockey, which starts its national TV schedule this weekend. But you're probably not going to find the skill you're looking for there. ...
Ichiro's Run Last Night Was Everything You Love About Ichiro And Everything You Hate About The Yankees
This is one of the things about the Yankees, one of the reasons the New York Yankees are a sickness on the soul of baseball, this play from Ichiro Suzuki last night. Ichiro! Honestly, if you root against the Yankees—which is to say, if you are not a native of the Bronx or a depraved human being—thi...
Mark Sanchez's Quarterback Rating Is 66.6 Because Of Course It Is
This is almost too good to be true. First, Tim Tebow let us know that last night was the 666th Monday Night Football game in history, and then Mark Sanchez went out and played like Mark Sanchez as the Jets fell victim to the Houston Texans....
The TBS Sound Level Meter Readings Were Thrown Off By The Loudness Of Craig Sager's Suit
In an attempt to demonstrate the madness at Camden Yards late in last night's Orioles win over the Yankees, foppish TBS reporter Craig Sager wielded a sound pressure gauge, informing viewers that the crowd in Baltimore was even louder than the famously-vocal Thunder crowd in Oklahoma City. We have ...
Your MLB Playoffs Open Thread
There are two more division series games for you to watch today, and this is the place to contribute your trenchant baseball analysis and dick jokes while you do so. The Nats and Cardinals have already started their game, and the Orioles will be taking on the Yankees at 8:07 p.m. EDT....
Maryland State Troopers Asked The Yankees For Autographs During The Game
Camden Yards beefed up security for the Orioles' return to the playoffs, as is customary. In Baltimore's case, they've retained the services of Maryland State Police, who line the field, sit in the dugouts, that sort of thing. But two troopers, stationed in the Yankees' dugout, make the rookie mista...
Here Is Your Rasheed Wallace Being Hilarious At Knicks Camp Update: Sheed Is Boxing
Today's update comes courtesy of Adam Zagoria, who tweeted out the above picture of Rasheed Wallace boxing while at practice....
Did TBS Crap Out On You During The Playoffs? Blame The Sun.
Ah, the sun. Giver of life. Grower of crops. Sworn enemy of the MLB Playoffs on TBS. For Cardinals fans watching their team begin a championship defense, and for Nationals fans watching their first playoff game ever, yesterday's broadcast was a frustrating one. On multiple occasions, TBS's feed froz...
The Jets Are In Line For An Attendance Debacle Tonight
It's been reported that as of Friday, the Jets had 12,000 tickets remaining unsold for tonight's game against the Texans. It's understandable. MetLife Stadium is a remarkably joyless place to watch your team lose 59-6. But there have been no whispers of a blackout, so we can assume Woody Johnson has...
The Colts Discount Double Checked And B.J. Raji-Shuffled All Over The Packers: Your Sunday NFL GIF Roundup
Here's where we're putting the GIFs of the week, from Donald Brown triumphantly trolling the Packers to Brandon Lloyd dancing around like no one's looking....
Twitter Lets Bud Selig Know That The Teams With Better Records Are Getting Screwed
SI's Jay Jaffe had it pretty much pegged in August: the MLB's Division Series format this year makes just about no sense, and as a result, we're seeing teams with superior records (and more exciting stories, like the upstart A's) wading into unfriendly waters for their first two games. It's already ...
NFL Network Reports That Jets Have Unsold Tickets For Monday Night, So Naturally It's A Tebow Thing
The backup quarterback is always more popular than the starter because he is an unknown quantity; he theoretically could be better than the starter. Tim Tebow is not an unknown quantity. We know exactly what his strengths and weaknesses are. His strengths include things like "being a teammate" and ...
