This Is How Sean Payton And Rob Ryan Talk To Each Other During A Win


The Saints beat the Steelers 35-32 and this is how Sean Payton and Rob Ryan speak to each other.  It's been a testy sideline all season between the two coaches and today was no different.

Payton, despite leading at the time, was clearly unhappy with Ryan and Rob was having none of it.





Colt McCoy Had An Amazing Scramble That Resulted In A Touchdown Pass


Colt McCoy and the Redskins got blown out today, but not without making one good play.  McCoy scrambled and avoided three defenders before throwing a strike for a touchdown.

McCoy made moves that we haven't seen from a Redskins quarterback since RGIII's rookie season.





Johnny Clipboard Getting A Taste Of The NFL



Brian Hoyer's struggles have put him on the bench in favor of Johnny Manziel.  The rookie quarterback got his first shot at the NFL in a mop up roll and it looks like he might be asking for his clipboard back.

Manziel drops a snap, then gets run over and fumbles, allowing the Bills to score.  He laid on the turf like he was dead.





Danieal Manning Destroyed Justin Hunter


Houston Texans defensive back, Danieal Manning, destroyed Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter.  A terrible pass that ended up intercepted led Hunter into the huge hit.

It's the biggest shot of the weekend so far and hitting is why we love the game.





Marshawn Lynch Followed Up His Yeah Interview With A Nope One


Marshawn Lynch answered one question from the media, after Seattle's victory of the 49ers on Thursday, with a "nope."  He then made it clear all of the answers would be nope and said "if that's what you want to do with yall's time."

That pretty much shut the interview down and Lynch thanked them and walked off, like a boss.  Or as some would say, an ass.

Either way I enjoy it.





George Mason Beat Manhattan With An Insane Buzzer Beater



It's early in the college basketball season but a buzzer beater is a buzzer beater.   Jalen Jenkins of George Mason rebounded a free throw miss and dribbled the ball just a couple of feet before launching a 75 foot shot.

The shot left his hand before the buzzer and went in for a George Mason victory.

Jenn Sterger Is Ready And In Her Bikini Cowgirl Outfit

Jenn Sterger hinted she was bringing her bikini cowgirl outfit back, almost ten years after she was discovered by Brent Musburger at a Florida State game.

Sterger appears to be delivering as she posted a picture wearing the outfit on instagram.






Louisville And Kentucky Got Into A Fight Prior To The Game



The Louisville players were upset that Kentucky players were stepping on their logo.  So naturally a fight broke out.

The surprising part was Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino getting physical with a Kentucky assistant coach.





If You Do Nothing Else This Weekend You Must Look At This: Jenn Sterger Bringing Back Bikini Cowgirl At FSU Game

Jenn Sterger took to instagram to announce her plans to bring back her bikini cowgirl outfit for Florida State's game Saturday against Florida.  Of course the cowgirl outfit helped her get noticed by Brent Musburger, as his first crush and helped jumpstart her modelling career.

Sterger had this to say along with the picture of her cowgirl outfit:

Florida.. I'll be in you this weekend. Also. This is happening. 💗💋 #Fsu #noles

Check Out The Butt Punt


Every once in a while there is a play so great, or as is the case with this one, so out of the ordinary it earns a special name.  The butt fumble has a butt related play to join it.

I give you the butt punt.





Ray Rice Won His Appeal, Reinstated By The NFL

Ray Rice won his appeal and former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones found that Rice had not misled Roger Goodell, via ESPN:
"In this arbitration, the NFL argues that Commissioner Goodell was misled when he disciplined Rice the first time. Because, after careful consideration of all of the evidence, I am not persuaded that Rice lied to, or misled, the NFL at his June interview, I find that the indefinite suspension was an abuse of discretion and must be vacated," Jones' decision stated. 
"I find that the NFLPA carried its burden of showing that Rice did not mislead the Commissioner at the June 16th meeting, and therefore, that the imposition of a second suspension based on the same incident and the same known facts about the incident, was arbitrary," Jones also wrote.
So Rice is free to sign with a new team, if any are willing.  Also it appears as if Goodell and the NFL are the ones misleading and hiding facts.

Dwayne Harris Started A Fight With A Dirty Hit


The Cowboys suffered their second worst Turkey Day beat down at the hands of the Eagles.  Dwayne Harris wasn't happy and took out his frustration by destroying Nolan Carroll.

The dirty hit was flagged and started a fight between the two teams.





Dude From Furman Forgot He Couldn't Dunk


This guy from Furman had the ball on a fast break against Duke and what happen next was pure comedy.  He must have forgot he couldn't dunk, then forgot how to shoot lay ups.  Hilarious.





Calvin Johnson Had A Big Game Against The Bears On Turkey Day


Calvin Johnson was almost unstoppable as the Detroit Lions offense got back on track against the Chicago Bears.  Johnson had 11 catches for 146 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Megatron also became the fastest receiver to record 10,000 yards as the Lions beat the Bears 34-17.  Here is his first touchdown between two defenders.





Happy Thanksgiving From Floyd Mayweather


Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving like a woman giving you a sponge bath.  Too bad I'm not filthy rich and could afford to spend money on a sponge bath.

Floyd Mayweather is rich enough and shared a video on instagram of a woman giving him a Thanksgiving sponge bath.

Bill Belichick Gave The Most Bill Belichick Answer Of All Time



Bill Belichick gave the most Bill Belichick answer of all time when he was asked about the similarities between Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.  He even amused himself enough to crack a smile.





This Is One Of The Worst Dunk Attempts I've Ever Seen


This Oregon player shows us why Oregon is a football school and not a basketball school.  He pulls of a nice steal and has a lane for the dunk and then this happened.





Colt McCoy To Start Over RGIII Against Indy

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Colt McCoy will be the starter this weekend against the Colts.  Schefter also says the Redskins are not giving up on Robert Griffin and he is still part of their long term plans.

So the McCoy era, despite being successful, could be short lived.  RGIII has taken huge steps backwards this season, when he's been healthy, and his teammates don't seem to like him.  So why continue to force him onto the field if you're Washington?





Richard Sherman And Doug Baldwin Held A Press Conference To Mock The NFL



Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin held a press conference to mock the NFL.  The duo took shots at NFL by taking on the NFL's policies and standing up for their teammate Marshawn Lynch.

I'm not sure where they found the time to put this together.  Especially with the Seahawks fighting for a playoff spot.  But I'm glad they took the time to put the NFL on blast.

Riley Cooper Takes Shots At Teammate Jeremy Maclin



Riley Cooper says he was joking when he said Jeremy Maclin wasn't subbing because Maclin wants a new contract.  He somewhat apologizes for his comments, but also seems to take another shot at Maclin before blaming the media for making a big deal about his comments.

“I’m supposed to sub every four or five plays, and that’s what I do.  Maclin, I guess, he’s a lot better player than me, so he doesn't have to sub.”

Maclin is currently on a one year deal and has played the most snaps at receiver for the Eagles according to CSN Philly, so there is probably something to what Cooper said.  He's likely trying to blow it off as a joke so he doesn't cause any problems in the locker room.





The Cubbies Have Offered Jon Lester A Six Year Deal

The Cubs have reportedly offered free agent pitcher, Jon Lester, a six year deal worth over $135 million.  They either really want the lefty or Theo Epstein, the Red Sox former general, wants to drive up Lester's value and screw his old team.






James Harden's Defense Is At Epic Levels


Okay that is a huge overstatement.  James Harden isn't even pretending to play defense any more.   During a fast break last night Harden just stood at mid court and watched as the ball went past him.





Rob Ryan Sums Up Last Night's Game Perfectly


Tough night last night if your last name is Ryan.  Both Rex and Rob Ryan's teams lost last night and both of their teams managed to give up 30+ points.

Rob summed up the evening for the brothers perfectly.  Yes he looks like a giant baby who got his juice taken away.

Enjoy!





Steve Smith Sr. Is Still Fighting



Steve Smith fighting during a game seems to happen at least a few times a year.  At 35 Smith is still fighting.  This time it was Kenny Vaccaro that got into it with the energetic wide receiver.

The little dust up helped to energize the Ravens to a 34-27 come from behind victory over the Saints.

Kemba Walker Shook Chris Paul Out Of His Shoes


The Charlotte Hornets have gotten off to a slow start this season, but have been playing well against the Los Angeles Clippers tonight.  Check out Kemba Walker shake Chris Paul and almost make him hit the floor.

Oh and he hit the shot!





Robert Woods Made A Great One Handed Catch


Robert Woods just threw his hand up and tipped the ball to himself then pinned the ball to his helmet.  Woods was able to maintain control and complete the catch.





Steve Smith Sr. Makes A Great Catch For A Touchdown


Steve Smith Sr. made a spectacular catch for a touchdown against the Saints.  Smith continues to prove the Panthers made a big mistake cutting him and he has a lot of game left.

This touchdown, falling down with a defender all over him, is awesome.





The Red Sox Are Attempting To Sign Every Free Agent

The Red Sox are apparently on a spending spree as they retool for the 2015 season. They've signed Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez and still have the return of Jon Lester in their sights.








Johnny Manziel's Agent Released A Statement About Incident With Browns Fan

Johnny Manziel's agent has released a statement about the alleged fight between Manziel's entourage and a hug happy Browns fan.

Post by Adam Schefter.



That story is much different than the one being told by the Browns fan.  The hug happy fan's brother also claims there is video that shows his brother being sucker punched by Manziel.




Johnny Manziel Punched A Browns Fan In The Face



Cleveland Browns' backup quarterback Johnny Manziel reportedly punched a Browns fan in the face when the fan attempted to hug him.  Because that's always a good reason to punch someone.  Following the punch the victim claims Manziel's crew began to beat him, via Scene:
The alleged victim, 33-year-old Sandusky resident Chris Gonos, reported to police that he and his girlfriend spotted Manziel while waiting for an elevator at the high-end apartment complex, where many Cleveland professional athletes live, and professed his love to the rookie quarterback.
Gonos told police he pointed Manziel out to his girlfriend: "That's Johnny Manziel." Then he approached him.





Pepsi Released A Katy Perry Super Bowl Halftime Show Hype Video



Yes that is a real thing they did.  Katy Perry is performing at Super Bowl XLIX on February 1st.  So naturally the event requires some publicity and definitely a hype video.

Thanks Pepsi.





This Play Pretty Much Sums Up How RGIII's Teammates Feel About Him


If there were any doubts about the feelings Robert Griffin's teammates have for him, they were cleared up on Sunday.  This play is the prime example.

Griffin gets destroyed on the play and two of his lineman just look at him, then one walks over his legs and leaves.  I'd say they're not fans.





Odell Beckham Jr. "Took A Flop"


Not only did Odell Beckham Jr. pull down one of the best catches of all time, he also became the first NFL player to get called for a flop.  A late hit flag on Beckham was picked up after it was ruled he flopped.

Or as the referee explained he "took a flop."

Marshawn Lynch Did A Post Game Interview



After the Seahawks took care of the Cardinals on Sunday, Marshawn Lynch did a post game interview.  The running back was fine 100k last week for failing to meet his media obligations.

Lynch gave a hilarious interview with most of his answers only one word.  I guess this is what the NFL wants.





Odell Beckham Jr. Made The Best Catch Of The Weekend



The Giants Odell Beckham Jr. made the best catch of the entire weekend, maybe the season.  Even after contact he was able to make the incredible one handed grab.

Not only was it a great catch he landed in the end zone for a touchdown.





Colts Receiver T.Y. Hilton Cried During Post Game Interview



The Colts got off to a slow start, but were able to beat the Jaguars fairly easily.  Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton had a pretty good game as well scoring a touchdown.

Earlier in the day Hilton's daughter, Gigi, was born and he really wanted to score for her.  During his post game interview Hilton wasn't able to hold back his emotion and cried.





Check Out LeBron Rethinking His Return To Cleveland



The Cavaliers dropped their fourth straight game on Saturday.  They blew a lead and ended up getting beat by double digits by Toronto.

The cameras managed to capture the exact moment that LeBron James started to rethink his return to Cleveland.  It's been a rough start to the season, probably a little more difficult than he originally thought.





Check Out Lou Holtz Giving Rece Davis Hell...Again



Lou Holtz is at it again.  He flipped out Rece Davis after they did some court thing they do where Davis serves as the judge.

This isn't the first time Holtz has flipped out during this type of segment.  But this time Holtz got a little personal with his attack on Davis.  And it's an entertaining thing for us.

Jameis Winston Pushed A Referee During Win Over BC



Florida State remained undefeated by beating Boston College 20-17.  The game had an odd moment that resulted in Jameis Winston pushing a referee.

For some reason a referee was standing behind the FSU center and put his hand on Winston to prevent him from going under center and starting the play.  Winston gently moved the referee, some would call it a push, but it was nothing.

There was no flag for the push and that caused haters to lose their mind on the internet.  Here is the push.

Javale McGee of the Nuggets ended up in the first row of stands on a woman's lap after hustling after a ball.  Before getting back into the game he kissed the woman on the cheek.

Jim Mora Doesn't Need A Bonfire To Get Ready For USC! Just F Bombs



UCLA takes on their rival USC on Saturday night, one of the very few college games worth watching this weekend, and held the annual pep rally last night.  They had to skip the bonfire portion of the evening because of lousy students protesting tuition hikes.

But that didn't stop Jim Mora.  Nope, he's no fool, he knows football is more important than class.  That's why he dropped an F bomb on mic.





Shaq Trying To Eat A Cookie Off Of His Face Is Why Inside The NBA Wins Awards



Inside The NBA is always providing the internet with content. Last night Shaq attempted to eat a cookie off of his face.

Adrian Peterson Doesn't Want To Be Compared To Ray Rice

Adrian Peterson did an interview with USA Today Sports and talked about his recent suspension and the events that led up to it.

During his interview Peterson says he's done using switches and will punish his children in other ways going forward.  He expresses remorse for leaving marks on his son and reveals he's been working with a therapist and a pastor.
"No one knows how I felt when I turned my child around after spanking him and seeing what I had left on his leg," Peterson said. "No one knows that Dad sat there and apologized to him, hugged him and told him that I didn't mean to do this to you and how sorry I was.




The Oakland Raiders Won A Football Game




The Oakland Raiders won their first game on Thursday night.  They beat a pretty good Kansas City Chiefs team 24-20.

The weather may have helped, it rained throughout the game.

If you didn't know better you would have thought the Raiders had just won a playoff game.  But that's what happens when you lose the first ten games of the season.





That Awkward Moment When An Assistant Coach Is More Excited Than The Players




This Duke assistant football coach was way more excited about playing North Carolina than the players.  It showed on the field too.

Duke laid an egg.  They came out an gave up 21 points right off the bat in the first quarter.  The final score was 45-20.

Tom Brady Welcomed Back LeGarrette Blount On Facebook


Nobody does Facebook like Tom Brady.  The king of Boston welcomed back LeGarrette Blount to New England with a video showing himself being left hanging until Blount gave him five.

Only Tom can do it like this,  Everything he touches turns to freaking gold.





MLB Just Crowned The Red Sox Because They're Attempting To Sign Sandoval And Lester

Sometimes you run across something you just can't make up.  The MLB twitter account just tweeted "Worst to first, Take 2?" about the Red Sox.  Because they're attempting to sign free agents Jon Lester and Pablo Sandoval.

There you have it, attempting to sign free agents means your team is now in first after finishing in last place.  It only takes two players too.  Wait didn't they have Lester for the majority of 2014?

So it only takes one, Sandoval.  Worst to first.






LeGarrette Blount Rejoining The Patriots

Just days after being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers the New England Patriots have announced they've resigned LeGarrette Blount.  Blount spent the 2013 season with the Patriots before heading to Pittsburgh as a free agent before this season.

Brandon Knight Missed A Game Winning Layup


The Bucks needed three overtime periods to beat the Nets last night because Brandon Knight missed a wide open game winning layup.  The miss came in the final seconds of the first overtime period.

Sure Knight missed a wide open layup, but my real issue with the entire thing is his dribbling.  Isn't he a professional basketball player?  He looks like a little kid dribbling on a fast break.





LeBron James Forgot How To Dribble With The Game On The Line



The Spurs came to town to take on Cleveland and LeBron James.  With the Cavs down by two points LeBron ended up with the ball in his hands and he blew it.

LeBron dribbled the ball off of his own leg and turned it over.  The Spurs just dribbled the time off of the clock and LeBron took the walk of shame.

Andrew Wiggins Misses Dunk Attempt


Timberwolves rookie Andrew Wiggins got to the basket for the dunk but missed pretty badly.  It's not his finest moment as a rookie, but he'll be fine.





Solomon Hill Made An Awesome Buzzer Beater To Beat The Hornets


The Hornets and Pacers went back and forth all night and in the final seconds of the game were all tied up at 86.  The Pacers had the ball with time running down when Rodney Stuckey put up an air ball.

What happened next was unreal.  Solomon Hill caught the air ball from under the basket and threw the ball over his shoulder as time ran out.  His shot fell and won the game for the Pacers.





Creighton Freshman Had A Beer Dumped On His Head


There is hustle and then there is this play by Creighton freshman Toby Hegner.  This is poor play disguised as hustle.  Hegner was not even close to saving the ball.

He was rewarded for his unnessary hustle by getting a beer dumped on his head and having a fat Yankees fan laugh at him.





The NBA Is Serious About Domestic Violence, Jeff Taylor Suspended 24 Games

Well it's a more severe punishment percentage wise, than Ray Rice's original two game suspension.  Damn you NBA for making me do math.

But yes it is.  Rice was originally suspended for 12.5 percent of his team's games and Taylor is suspended for 29 percent of his team's games.  But is that enough?  Does that really mean the NBA is serious about domestic violence?

Charlotte Hornets forward, Jeff Taylor, plead guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence.  This was the result of an incident where Taylor pushed his girlfriend into a hotel wall, causing damage to the wall.

The Hornets suspended him with pay the following day.  The punishment handed down by NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, states he will be credited for the 11 games he's already missed.

So essentially Charlotte suspended him for 11 games and the NBA will be suspending Taylor for only 13 games or about 16 percent of his team's games.

Is the NBA really serious about domestic violence?





Robert Griffin III "We're Focused On San Francisco"

(click on image to see press conference)

Redskins' quarterback, Robert Griffin III, answered many question in his latest press conference with, "we're focused on San Francisco."  He clearly didn't want to address his own struggles or the controversial comments he made following last week's loss.





Dwight Howard's Attorney Responded To Child Abuse Allegations

Dwight Howard is being investigated a second time for the same child abuse allegations. The allegations involve Howard's 7 year old son.  The NBA is aware of the investigation.

Howard's attorney responded to the child abuse allegations and claims the child's mother is attempting get money from his client, via USA Today Sports:
"The Florida Department of Children and Families thoroughly examined all of the evidence and determined that the claims of child abuse were not substantiated. The case was closed in September.






Nick Young Credits "Swag Effect" For Lakers Win



The Lakers won only their second game of the season last night.  It was the first game of the season for Nick Young, who credited the "swag effect" for the win.

Swaggy P, as Young is also known as, said in his post game interview that the swag effect just rubbed off on everyone and that's why they won the game.  Whatever it is I'm sure the Lakers would like more of it.
