    Best Thanksgiving Day Games by NFL Players

    Unlike in the NBA and Christmas, Thanksgiving isn’t about putting on the best games.

    Not all College Football rivalries are equal. Not in historical context and importance, and not in the quality of product they put on the field, with the latter varying yearly. Ohio State and Michigan might usually be voted as the number one rivalry in all of sports, but this year, there doesn’t seem to be a single game more important than the Iron Bowl, with Auburn and Alabama playing for state pride, division, conference and national titles.

Kevin Mirallas nearly ripping Luis Suarez to pieces and Wayne Rooney kicking violently at Jordon Mutch serve as another example of how the sport needs intervention involving video, replays and cameras.

    Worst Teams in World Cup History

    Almost every World Cup has a team, usually the champions, which remain carved into our memories forever. However, the same can be said about the worst teams to appear in these tournaments, who don’t only lose all three group matches, but look extremely terrible doing so as well.
