New Touchback Rule Designed To Reduce Number Of Kickoff Returns Is Actually Increasing Them<em></em>
I do not like to say I told you so (I love to say it), but all my haters and doubters (there were none) can eat every last speck of my shit. ...
Skip Bayless Explains How To Argue When You Agree
Skip Bayless’s and Shannon Sharpe’s two-and-a-half-hour sports shouting show, Second Take, has apparently put a dent in First Take’s ratings, perhaps thanks to all those loyal Skipheads out there who just want to see their man yell. But what’s to do when Bayless and Sharpe agree on a topic and have ...
Team North America Wrongly Thought They Had Advanced
Nathan MacKinnon’s wonderful OT goal capped a dramatic win against Sweden, and—oh, hell, let’s watch that sequence again, it was so good. This time with Spanish commentary by the great Robert Abramowitz:...
Adam Jones Wants To Know Where All The Orioles Fans Are
The Orioles are right in the thick of things, holding on to the second wild card and, at least before dropping the first three of their four-game series with East-leading Boston, contending for the division. They just wish more fans were showing up to see it....
Nathan MacKinnon's Filthy Goal Wins It In OT For Team North America
You were watching like I said, right? Then you saw a hell of a 3-on-3 overtime, decided on a sequence that saw John Gibson stop Daniel Sedin, Johnny Gaudreau hustle to the loose puck and feed Nathan MacKinnon, who then absolutely flummoxed Henrik Lundqvist for the winner:...
Team North America Is Already Doing Cool Things (Update: They Can't Even Stop)
Hey! Go tell your boss to fuck off and put on North America/Sweden. Team USA is butt and already eliminated, but the U23 North Americans are so good and so fast and should be your favorite team unless you’re some weirdo from Canada....
That Might Be The Last You See Of Adrian Peterson As A Viking
Adrian Peterson tore a meniscus in his right knee on Sunday night, and announced today he’s going to have surgery tomorrow to repair it. In the absolute best-case scenario, he’ll only be back for the playoffs. Much more likely, he’s out for the season. And after that?...
Marshawn Lynch On Colin Kaepernick Is Very Good
It’s not that recently retired RB Marshawn Lynch doesn’t like talking. He just very much cares about choosing the time and place and topic, and when he does have something to say, it’s quite often worth listening to....
Team USA Sucked
The thing to remember is that last night wasn’t the failure. It was a failure, sure, falling 4-2 to Canada in a game that felt like a prolonged and particularly sadistic euthanization that eliminated Team USA from the World Cup after just two games. But Canada’s better. They have better players, and...
Look At This Map, America Is The Greatest Country In The World
I probably spent 40 percent of my time in grade school reading those cheap books on either strange local laws or dirty-sounding place names. This map was made for me....
Hell Yeah, Another Cool <i>Madden</i> Glitch
Madden NFL 17! Just like ‘16, but with a whole new year’s worth of glitches. Can’t say you’re not getting your $60 worth:...
Donald Trump's Charity Golf Tournament Was Apparently Rigged, And He Used His Charity's Money To Settle The Lawsuit
If highlighting Donald Trump’s xenophobia, racism, sexism, fascism, ignorance, temper, hypocrisy, or overall derangement hasn’t dented his popularity, it’s not about to start. Instead, there appear to be two stories with staying power: Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns, and what sure as hel...
Russia Beat Team North America At Its Own Game
Hockey is a young person’s sport. In Team Russia’s thrilling 4-3 World Cup group play win over Team North America, which consists of players 23 and under, all four of Russia’s goals were scored by players younger than 25....
It's Probably Time To Write Off The Bears
Maybe because in the Jay Cutler era the Bears have typically ranged from mediocre-bad to mediocre-good, spots on a relatively short continuum that usually requires the bulk of the season to pinpoint, this team gets treated as potentially relevant for far longer than it should. Let’s not fall for it ...
Report: The Browns Fired A Bunch Of Scouts Who Liked Carson Wentz
I do not know what the future holds for the careers of Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, or the buttload of draft picks the Browns received from Philadelphia for the rights to Wentz. I only know that Cleveland could desperately use a quarterback now and going forward, and that the Eagles firmly believe they...
Alex Boone's Gentle Suggestion To Vikings Fans: "Shut The Fuck Up A Little Bit"
It was a feel-good game all-around: the Vikings beat the rival Packers on national TV, moved to 2-0, witnessed a fantastic debut by Sam Bradford, saw a repeat star performance from Stefon Diggs, and opened their shiny, new, bird-murdering stadium....
Team North America Is An Absolute Blast
Team USA shit the bed, losing 3-0 to Team Europe. If they don’t get a point from Canada tomorrow night, their tournament is probably over. (So it’s probably over.) Bummer, after all that hype. But—ah!—the World Cup of Hockey had just this scenario in mind, when they created your perfect backup team ...
That Was Everything The Vikings Wanted From Sam Bradford
Even if there’s every chance he eventually gets injured, as is his wont, or lapses into mediocrity, as is his hallmark, it’s still OK to say it now: Sam Bradford was awesome last night....
Who's Going To Win The World Cup Of Hockey?
I don’t know. If I knew, I’d bet on it and be rich and not have to work this job....
