I dunno man, the sport loses a lot of credibility to a lot of people when total clods like Chuck Liddell - who got his start brawling with drunk UCSB bros in college bars - and Brock Lesnar can win UFC titles. Yeah, I know they were both accomplished collegiate wrestlers, but how much does it say about the "technique"…

Billy Haisley [scolding Croats after eliminated in group play]: See, this is what happens when you waste time with bullshit football. The EPL is clearly[gets knifed]

Kickstarter idea: Send Haisley down to Rio so he can berate fans of every national team except Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy, and the Netherlands for supporting inferior football.

I get the outrage, but what the hell does Al Jolson have to do with Vanderbilt athletics in the first place?

Shut up about poorly written troll pieces that intentionally antagonize [insert overly sensitive fanbase]

Egypt could be, but they'd need a stable political system for at least a decade before FIFA would even consider them given everything that's happened. I can't even imagine a scenario where a country undergoes a revolution months before hosting the World Cup and cancels everything. Even then, they've had some nasty…

Honestly, I think FIFA will just dig in. Blatter's comments about the West not owning soccer is a preview to the defense they'll be using from now until 2022. Critiques of Qatar not having the infrastructure, the weather, or the human rights record will be rebuffed as ethnocentric and not allowing the World Cup to be…

Then again, wearing an opposing team's sweater next to a bunch of troglodyte Jersey fans is pretty much the safest place to be in Newark.

Yes, I'm sure there were some great stories

Disagree on Aaron Craft. He mugs the shit out of opposing players and gets away with it. He plays for an insufferable fanbase who claim they're all "huge basketball fans" when they never gave a shit about the team during the Jim O'Brien era. He gets totally undue credit for the Buckeyes' success and none of the blame…

True, but Utah is a unique breeding ground for this kind of stuff. Case in point:

"Nice try, but needs a few more y's in there."

Tim, you know damn well the only committed students at EMU are traveling each weekend at speech tournaments, where they forgo the thrill of watching college athletics to visit scenic locales like Peoria, Bowling Green, and Bloomington.

I was gonna go rationallytalktomyhusbandabouthisloveofNascarandmaybeseeamentalhealthspecialistaboutthevoicesIkeephearinginmyhead,

I agree, the schools shouldn't be cutting the checks. That's why I don't understand their insistence that athletes not be able to make money on their own. If Nike wants to pay AJ McCarron to endorse their products in a commercial filmed outside of the school year and Bryant-Denny Stadium, they should. If anything, the…

The biggest sticking point, both from CAPA and other previous lawsuits, is in allowing athletes to make money off their likeness outside of their respective team. It'd cost no extra money from schools as it would be provided by private businesses. It would mean that the NCAA Football video game series could be…

Muschamp: After hearing first-hand reports, we're confident the window will be a centerpiece of our offensive line years to come.

Unfortunately, Chuvashev came to an untimely and violent demise when the harness operator gleefully slammed him into the top of the M, as he thought Chuvashev would easily fit but was actually off by one space.

It's annoying to Americans because it's also called soccer in Canada, South Africa, and Australia, yet curiously they seemingly never get any guff over it. Also, as it has happened countless times here on Kotaku, it invites some idiot who's obviously never watched more than a minute of gridiron/American football to…

In keeping with the theme and locale, the United States just announced Max Payne as their official World Cup mascot.
