It's Impossible To Take A Bad Photo At The Monte Carlo Masters
Novak Djokovic lost today to Dominic Thiem. It went three sets. Nice match. Wouldn’t have been able to pay much attention had I watched it from the stands.

MMA Announcer Fucks Up Fight Decision Not Once, But Twice In The Span Of 15 Seconds
David Booker won a decision against Elijah Terrell last night at regional MMA event Alaska Fighting Championship 139, which was good news for him.

How Stories About Mundane Things Taking Over Locker Rooms Took Over Sports Media
If you’ve consumed even a tiny bit of sports media in the past few years, you’ve no doubt come across a particular kind of story. It’s a lighthearted one, and the hook is something like, “Hey! Did you know that [group of athletes] are really interested in [non-sports related object or activity]? Isn’t that kind of…
If We Had a Liberal Media We Wouldn't Have Had a Paul Ryan
Farewell, Paul Ryan, you smirking fraud. Thank you for fucking off back to Wisconsin, to be with your family, at least until you accept one of the consulting or shadow lobbying jobs you are already being offered, which will inevitably bring you back to the Washington area, where you will actually spend the rest of…
The Thunder Are Being Shady About Steven Adams's Possibly Injured Arm
To refresh your memory, Steven Adams rammed in an alley-oop in Game 1 of the Thunder’s playoff series against the Jazz that made a satisfying thunk, but also rendered his right arm unusable. It just sort of hung there for awhile.

Boston's Weather Broke Scores Of Elite Runners, But Not Old Man Abdi Abdirahman
Despite miserable weather, 95 percent of of the 27,042 common folk who started Monday’s Boston Marathon eventually crossed the finish line. The whippets up front proved less stalwart: two-thirds of the elite men’s field dropped out. One who didn’t was 41-year-old Tucson resident, Abdi Abdirahman. He finished 15th,…
Pete Carroll Needed New Players Because He Exhausted His Supply Of Motivational Anecdotes
The Seattle Seahawks have nine players from their 2014-15 Super Bowl season left on their current roster. Two of them, Cliff Avril and Kam Chancellor, might be so injured that they’ll never play again. Two former players say that the significant turnover might in part be because head coach Pete Carroll had already…
Soccer Player Tries To Beat His Manager's Ass For Subbing Him Out Of Game
We’ve all seen players stomp off the pitch in barely suppressed anger after their manager has subbed them out of a game. A far less common sight is a player communicating his post-subbing displeasure by walking off the pitch and straight over to the coach and attempting to kick his ass:
Horrendously Sucky Reds Fire Bryan Price After 3-15 Start
The Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals have each won three games this season. Royals manager Ned Yost earned some slack since he’s three years removed from winning the World Series. Reds manager Bryan Price ... said the word “fuck” 77 times after losing a game in 2015. The team fired him today.
The Mess and the Murders
There’s an image stuck in my brain that’s been haunting me. It’s a matter of public record, and has even been published in the New York Times, but it’s my instinct to refrain from describing it here. On the off chance that you haven’t read much about the Krim children, Lucia and Leo, 6 and 2, who were stabbed to death…
Preorder And Save On Wool Coats That Are Pretty Much Weatherproof
I have raved about the insanely cool material that Mia Melon coats are made out of (waterproof cotton that’s not waxed) and they’ve just rolled out a groundbreaking new textile: wool.
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1987 Baseball Guys
When we introduced a gum component last week on Let’s Remember Some Guys, the payoff was kind of weak. David Roth remembered all but one guy, so he only had to pop in one piece of thick, stale gum. In this week’s episode, however, he experiences several lapses in memory and consumes approximately two pounds of Dubble…
