It Doesn't Matter Who The Browns' Quarterback Is
Let’s run it down. The Browns are 0-10 for the first time in franchise history. They’ve dropped 13 in a row, the longest losing streak in franchise history. They’ve given up at least 25 points in 11 straight games, the longest such streak in modern NFL history. So any midgame quarterback changes hav...
Steve Kerr Rips Donald Trump And The Whole Damn Election
The Warriors ran the Mavericks 116-95 in Oakland last night, but way more interesting and important were Golden State coach Steve Kerr’s pregame comments on the campaign and the new President-elect: “The man who’s going to lead you has routinely used racist, misogynist, insulting words. That’s a tou...
The Blackhawks Are Hot As Hell
We’re nearly a fifth of the way through the season (already!), and while the Canadiens have the best record, and the Rangers the best goal differential, there is no team hotter than the Chicago Blackhawks. It’s a bit of a surprise, given their roster turnover and the number of unproven young players...
Gisele To Tom Brady: Stick To Sports
Just as it was fair to ask Tom Brady about his support of “good friend” Donald Trump back in the primaries, it’s fair to ask him today, the morning after Trump won the presidential election and two days after Trump announced at a campaign rally he had Brady’s endorsement....
It's Been A While Since The NHL Had A Rookie Who Could Score Like This
If the 2015 NHL draft was a two-headed hype monster—McDavid and Eichel as a clear 1A and 1B—maybe it’s not to early to start thinking of 2016 not as merely the Auston Matthews draft, but as draft that brought us Matthews and Patrik Laine. The Winnipeg Jets rookie now leads the league in goals....

John Wall Ejected After Bumping Official
The Wizards are 1-5 after a 114-106 loss to the Rockets, and Bradley Beal, when asked what the problem is, said it’s “just heart.” So everything’s great in Wizardland! At least John Wall didn’t have to stick around to the bitter end of this one....
Browns Player's Startling Guarantee: We Will Win A Game Sometime This Season
It’s been common to hear that the Browns aren’t as bad as their record indicates, and that’s true. They’ve been in a number of games until late, and they’ve had major injuries and a lot of bad breaks, and anyway, no one could be as bad as the Browns’ record indicates. You’re not going to hear that r...
Very Good Dog Drops Puck, Yes He Does, Yes He Does
On “Military Appreciation Night” in Anaheim before Ducks-Flames, the ceremonial puck drop was conducted by Corporal Nero, a bomb-sniffing dog stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Who dropped a good puck? Who? Who?...
Where Is Jared Goff?
Los Angeles fans waited a long time for a football team, but they can’t wait any longer for a competent quarterback. As early as the second quarter, and multiple times in the Rams’ 13-10 loss to the Panthers, the Coliseum crowd struck up the chant: “We want Goff!”...
Kris Bryant Smiling Through The Final Out Is My Favorite Thing
I don’t really have anything add to this video of 24-year-old Kris Bryant grinning like an idiot as he made the throw to first to win the World Series, only a sincere wish that everyone reading this gets to experience a moment of similar anticipatory joy in their lives, and the observation that it i...

You Aren't Gonna Believe This, But Curt Schilling Used Some Theatrics To Make Himself Look Tougher
As much as I love a good conspiracy theory, I never seriously considered that Curt Schilling might have faked his bloody sock. Call me naive but I just couldn’t believe that anyone could be so petty or insecure or narcissistic to use fucking ketchup to fake an open wound, to either give himself an e...
Honestly, Joe Maddon's Idea For Twitter Sounds Boring
Joe Maddon did his best to explain his questionable bullpen usage, but this is way more important than the effectiveness of baseball’s best reliever in Game 7 of the World Series: Maddon wants to fix Twitter....
I Have No Idea How Braden Holtby Didn't Allow A Goal Here
The Capitals beat the Jets 3-2 thanks to Jay Beagle’s goal of his own faceoff win with 30 seconds left, but the star was goalie Braden Holtby, who made 43 saves. Four or five of them came on this one sequence:...
Joe Maddon, What Were You Thinking?
Fuck it, I’ll second-guess....
White Sox Didn't Want Giant Downward Arrow On Their Stadium; Corporate Sponsor Said "Too Bad"
When the White Sox announced a new, 13-year naming rights deal for their stadium (which you can continue to call whatever you’d like), the jokes were plentiful and justified: The name is awkward and bland, and could they really not do better than a medium-sized mortgage lender?
