Most jobs don’t designate the kind of underwear people have to wear, and those who work from home technically don’t have to wear any. (That’s probably true in offices, too, actually. Who’s going to know?) But two Formula E drivers are $6,000 poorer for wearing the wrong underwear to work over the weekend.
Star running back Le’Veon Bell’s years-long fight to extract a long-term deal from the Pittsburgh Steelers seems to have finally come to an end. Today was the deadline for the two sides to work something out, but no deal was reached and now Bell will play out a second year on the franchise tag, with an eye towards…
It’s been a few months since we’ve checked in on Sage Northcutt, the UFC action figure last seen turning into beef jerky before fighting some French guy in February. After winning that match, Northcutt said he was sick of cutting weight to fight at 155 pounds, so when he made his return to the cage this past weekend,…
Amazon Prime Day 2018 officially starts at 3PM ET today, but as per usual, Amazon has already started rolling out a few select deals that Prime members can take advantage of right now.
An update on our colleague Mike Fahey: Mike is now home and acclimating to a future of having to use a wheelchair. He’s exploring options for a van he could ride in or even drive with hand controls. They’re expensive, so we’re inviting people to contribute to his family’s GoFundMe to help get him back on the road.
D.C. United celebrated the opening of their new stadium last Saturday. Fans were treated to 32 minutes of Wayne Rooney, protests from disgruntled supporter groups, and a series of railings breaking and falling all over the place. D.C. United communications VP and sideline reporter Lindsay Simpson was apparently hit in…
Former UCLA standout and current Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen is part of a group that has announced its plan to offer an alternative to the NCAA’s current system of unpaid athlete labor.

One of my favorite villainous wrestlers when I was a kid was Rick “The Model” Martel. The gimmick was simple: Martel was a model, and he thought he was better than you.
The World Cup didn’t quite feel the same without Ian Darke to call it, but at least there was another month of (mostly) British announcers populating our soccer broadcasts. Here’s a celebration of the phrases only heard when watching the beautiful game.
As a rule, small countries do not play in the World Cup final. Only 13 countries on earth have ever even made the final, and aside from one of Sunday’s participants, only big countries have played for the cup in the modern era. It’s been over 50 years since there was a final that didn’t feature one of Brazil, Germany,…
French striker Antoine Griezmann—noted NBA and, specifically, Derrick Rose fan who unfortunately also once painted his entire body black while donning an afro and Harlem Globetrotters uniform—won a World Cup on Sunday. And he played a huge role in the final, delivering the free kick that led to France’s first goal …
I’m not sure a KitchenAid discount was high on my list of Prime Day expectations, but this Artisan series mixer is down to an Amazon all-time low of $210 today, or about $50 less than usual. No kitchen is complete without one.

There’s no lip reading required to figure out why Cubs manager Joe Maddon was pissed off in Sunday’s 7-4 win over the Padres. Home plate umpire Ryan Blakney’s strike zone was indecipherable all day—both teams complained about it—so in the eighth inning, Maddon had had enough.
Man, winning the World Cup in a country that gives a damn looks fun.
