You Built That: How Mitt Romney Shook Down American Taxpayers For His Welfare Olympics

Is Da'Rick Rogers About To Set An (FCS) Receiving Yards Record? [UPDATE: No]
Da'Rick Rogers has hit a couple pot holes in his college football career: he committed to Georgia, but went back on that commitment and drew the wrath of the Bulldog fan base. He ended up at rival Tennessee, where he was the "plum of the recruiting class" and also charged with "disorderly conduct a...

Ichiro Cleverly Hits The Ball Inside Pitcher's Jersey
We hear plaudits for Ichiro Suzuki a lot. He's consistent, he's one of the best baseball players of the past decade, he curses hilariously in the clubhouse before all-star games.

The Mets Would Like To Offer You Two Bucks Off Detergent (If A Statistical Oddity Happens)
Two days ago, the Mets finished a series in a night game that had been rained out the previous Tuesday and rescheduled. Partly because of the rainout and partly because, every fall, fans do with the Mets what the sun does with the earth, there were very few people in attendance to see the Mets get ...

Rob Gronkowski Now Has A Cereal With An Imaginative Name
Our favorite human beer keg now has his own cereal, and look at what it's called. Grönk Flakes might seem like ordinary frosted corn flakes, but they come in a box with Gronk's likeness on it, so ... there. Sales pitch, you ask? (I know you didn't, but play along.) Don't worry, Gronk's got you cover...

"What's This Fucking Song?" How A Yankees Free Spirit Reluctantly Ushered In Baseball's Entrance-Music Era
Sparky Lyle's arrival in New York was nothing to get excited about. On March 22, 1972, the Boston Red Sox traded the good but nondescript lefty reliever to the Yankees for Danny Cater and a player to be named later. Ho-hum. But when he actually came into the games—that was something else. ...

Giants 36, Panthers 7: The Game In Three GIFs
This was a slow and deceptive win for the Giants, who run their record to 2-1. The defense played solid in the first half and allowed the Giants' offensive live to methodically dominate time of possession against the high-powered offense of Carolina. Even without starters Hakeem Nicks and Ahmad Brad...

New York Red Bulls Fans Struggle With Spelling
New York Red Bulls suffered a painful 2-0 loss at home to Sporting KC last night in a match played with little fire in front of few fans. A few supporters showed up, however, and they brought a massive banner using the most tired expression about Kansas since "Bleeding." (Yes, Sporting KC plays in ...

Rob Gronkowski's Ex-Porn Star Friend Posts Another Photo Of The Happy Pair (And Explains Why He Dropped So Many Passes On Sunday)
Until tonight, we hadn't really heard much from Britney Maclin, neé Bibi Jones, since she emotionally announced her retirement from pornography back in July. Of course, aside from her scantily clad on-screen exploits, she's also best known as an Official Friend of Gronk....

Santonio Holmes Played Call-Your-Own-Fouls On Sunday With The Replacement Refs
Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes did not do a very good job of getting open against Steelers corner Ike Taylor on Sunday. He had only three catches for 28 yards despite being targeted 11 times. Sometimes Holmes didn't make the catch because he was interfered with. And sometimes he didn't make th...

Even The Mets' PR Staff Is Giving Up
