Browns: Don't Worry, Our Trade Fuck-Up Wasn't A Strategic Move, It Was Just A Fuck-Up
It requires a pretty deep trust in the Browns’ incompetence to believe that their attempt to trade with the Bengals for A.J.

Clayton Kershaw's Quotes About Postseason Failure Are Killing Me
The narrative of Clayton Kershaw’s playoff failure was always something bigger and more intense than it had any logical right to be. It conveniently ignored key context of managerial decisions and bullpen strength, not to mention brushed aside the number of perfectly fine and even good postseason st...

World Temporarily Deprived Of President's Death Penalty Takes For Eleven Minutes [Updated]
For six or so glorious minutes this evening, the president’s personal Twitter account—@RealDonaldTrump—was gone.

The traditional season for candy corn is coming to a close, but before it does, Washington State head coach Mike Leach is here to offer his thoughts: it’s bad. This is why it’s only served once a year, much like fruitcake or mint juleps, which are similarly terrible in Leach’s mind:...
Rich Hill Took His Sweet Time To Let Dodger Stadium's Boos For Yuli Gurriel Sink In
It’s been four days since Yulieski Gurriel made a racist gesture after homering off Yu Darvish, and Dodgers fans have been very clear in expressing their dissatisfaction with him tonight.
