This Is One Angry Football Fan (Video)
Listening to this angry fan scream at the top of his lungs as he calls the injured footballer a “time-wasting twat” and a “time-wasting tosser” can be awfully annoying, however, I can’t help but credit the man for saying exactly what most of us find ourselves thinking 80-percent of the time we watch the game [...]

9 NFL Prima Donnas Who Didn’t Make The Playoffs
Not much of an intro is required here, except the Germans have a word for what you feel when these high-maintenance NFL prima donnas don’t get the glory they so desperately seek. It’s called schadenfraude, and it means “pleasure derived from the misfortune of others.” Yup. That’s what this list makes me feel. “Schadenfraude.” I [...]

It’s January 2 as I write this, and I’m beat. I can’t handle any more college football, despite the fact that the most important games are starting just now.

Old Marshall Fan Dances With His Middle Fingers In The Air (Video)
Some people will tell you that white men can’t dance. I’d argue that they can, just not in a very respectful manner. Take this Marshall fan for example, who was way too lazy to get up out of his seat and dance for the Jumbotron during Tuesday night’s Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl. However, he was [...]
