Whether you love it, you hate it or are simply amused by it, we can probably all agree that House of Cards is rarely boring. This is a television program that manages to make even the most mundane acts at least slightly compelling, whether it’s frying some eggs, tossing back a shot of super expensive vodka or even taking a leak on the gravestone of your dead dad.

The summer may be almost over but The Knuckles are forever. This week, we’ll give the Red Sox a respite from our piling on and devote an entire page worth of Knuckles to the NFL, the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to pure, unadulterated knuckleheadedness. Within, you will learn about stupid helmet-to-helmet hits, players getting caught driving a car baked and not understanding why that’s illegal and salaciousness/ridiculousness masquerading as legit TV reporting. But don’t take my word for it. Read on and shake your head solemnly at this week’s well-deserving winners of The Knuckles! More
Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. The Knuckles lives on, this week tackling our nation’s biggest tackle football league, the NBA, it’s absurd rules and the knucklehead teams who break them and, as will more than likely be the case every week until the leaves start turning, the local nine, your defending World Champion Boston Red Sox. The Sox may be playing better over the past few days, but being a knucklehead stops for no man, woman or baseball team. More
The Knuckles return just in time for the NFL’s preseason to be up and running. Did you know that there are more knuckleheads per capita in the NFL than in any of the other three major American pro sports leagues combined? Of course you did – you’re all experts in identifying knuckleheads! Not to be outdone though, it is still baseball season and around these parts, the Red Sox have provided an ample amount of Knuckle nominees over the course of the year. Why should this week be any different? So without further ado, let’s get into this week’s winners! More
Fresh off the slowest week of the sports calendar, there’s no shortage of knuckleheads. Coaches and players alike can barely go one full 24-hour news cycle without doing or saying something ridiculous/asinine/pick your adjective, which is why The Knuckles not only survives week after week, they thrive. This week features angry losing pitchers, buffoon NFL coaches and homophobic hypocrites. So bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled knuckleheads. We’ve got room for ’em all! More
On the heels of Monday night’s Home Run Derby and last night’s endless, “Martian Chronicles”-length retirement party for Derek Jeter masquerading as the MLB All-Star Game, we could have had a lot of fun at baseball’s expense in this week’s Knuckle Awards. But that fruit hangs a little bit too low, so in an effort to challenge ourselves, and you, our faithful followers/award show flunkies, we decided to examine another prevalent, ongoing occurrence in the world of sports this past week, NBA free agency . Thus, without further ado, we present to you an all NBA edition of the Knuckles. Ball don’t lie. More
Back after a break for the holiday, but the layoff barely phased the Knuckleheads of the sports world. Independence Day be damned, The Knuckles are stronger than ever. This week we stay on an international level, tackling bad World Cup officiating, and some more domestic and local Knuckleheads as well. One thing is for sure: Even with a week off, there’s no shortage of worthy Knuckles recipients. Knuckleheads are everywhere and we know where to find ’em! So without any further ado, let’s get right into this week’s winners. More
We’ve made history here at The Knuckles.
Thanks to the actions of renowned soccer supervillain Luis Suarez during yesterday’s World Cup match between Uruguay and Italy, we have an example of knuckleheadedness so egregious, so outrageous and so over the top that it rendered all other nominees and potential winners of a Knuckle Award this past week obsolete. Suarez took the act of being a knucklehead to a new, heretofore unforeseen level, the likes of which we may never see again (at least until the next time he takes the field). So with that, let’s not waste any more time. Here’s the first ever Knuckle Awards clean sweep. More
The Knuckles go global again this week, everyone. It’s not enough just to showcase the finest in Knuckleheadery here in the the United States. Since we’re always on the lookout for ways to add culture and different perspectives to The Knuckles, to do that sometimes you just have to look southward, all the way to a certain futbol tournament happening below the equator. The World Cup always delivers at least a handful of powerful knucklehead moments and this year’s edition, despite being less than a week old, already stands out. So with that, let’s get to this week’s Knuckles, international style. More
In the illustrious, one-month history of The Knuckles, we’ve yet to see a week so lush with talent. In compiling this week’s winners, it took us about five minutes to make the list of those who displayed just the right combination of skill, heart and determination to be crowned bronze, silver and gold medal winning Knuckleheads. Know this, aspiring winners: There’s no science to being a Knucklehead. Just work hard, eat your Wheaties, say your prayers before bed every night and maybe you can bring home a Knuckle of your own. So with that, let’s take a look at this week’s winners. More
