For One Quarter Last Night, Steph Looked Like Steph Again
In the grand tradition of LeBron’s Heat and, uh, LeBron’s Cavs, the Warriors’ new superteam has gotten off to a bumpy start. There was that dumbfounding opening night massacre at the hands of the Spurs, but even Golden State’s next two victories—an eight-point win over the Pelicans and a six-point w...
Will You Remember Andre Johnson?
Yesterday afternoon, Andre Johnson walked away from the NFL. It’s the second such abrupt retirement by a one-time star of the Houston Texans who was living out the twilight of his career with a downtrodden franchise, and like Arian Foster, Johnson was, at best, a bit player on his new team in Tennes...
Trevor Bauer Had The Postseason's Best Baseball Butt
Trevor Bauer has been the Indians’ number two starter this postseason, and in that role he has been severely miscast. He didn’t exactly ask for such a responsibility—injuries to Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar necessitated it—but nonetheless Bauer has responded with a 5.54 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 13 ...
Darrelle Revis Is Still Getting Roasted
The Jets won yesterday, beating the Browns, which, okay. That makes two in a row for New York, which has slightly eased the suffering caused by a particularly disastrous four-game losing streak that triggered the brief return of Geno Smith. Still, you wouldn’t exactly call the victory over the Brown...
Vine Was The Best Highlight Delivery Machine Imaginable

Kill The "Spin Room"
You know the “spin room”: it’s the place where, at the conclusion of a debate, a horde of reporters and campaign employees/hangers-on gather en masse to chatter cheerfully about the ghastly horrors just witnessed by the rest of America. What is the point of these discussions? Some spin room particip...
"Traitors To Trump" Is A Website Created By A Democrat Aiming For "Republican Civil War"
In the wake of Donald Trump being caught bragging to the fourth-most famous Bush in America about the practice of grabbing women by their crotches, you have surely seen lists of Republican lawmakers who have finally abandoned their party’s nominee for president. Those lists have presented the newly...
Tom Brady Doesn't Want To Talk About Donald Trump
With all manner of Republican lawmakers revoking their endorsements of Donald Trump, it was only a matter of time before somebody asked Tom Brady where he stands after his “good friend” was caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women.

I Already Feel Bad For Adam Gase
Quarterback whisperer Adam Gase was the hottest name on the NFL coaching market the last couple of years. In 2014, he reportedly turned down the 49ers’ top job after being told he would have to keep Jim Tomsula on as defensive coordinator, and last year he interviewed with the Browns, Giants, and Ea...
This Rude Tweet About The Knicks Is Factually Wrong But Spiritually Correct
ESPN’s NBA-focused Twitter account @ESPNNBA has been doing that thing where a Twitter account counts down the days until the beginning of some new season with photos that correspond to whatever number of days is left until the start of whatever is being anticipated. Today, the account tweeted an ima...

Root For The Blue Jays In The Playoffs
The unruly Bat Flip Boys are at it again. A year after bashing their way through the AL East and into the hearts of scalawags everywhere, the Toronto Blue Jays have made the playoffs (or at least the watered down, expanded version of the playoffs) in consecutive years for the first time since winnin...
Michelle Obama Did Not Lovingly Embrace George W. Bush
You may have seen the above photo of Michelle Obama apparently hugging George W. Bush at the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture somewhere online this weekend. It was passed around as an image that was, in the words of MSNBC.com, “so moving.”...
José Fernández Was Why We Watch Sports
A funny thing to do as an adult is to explain to someone, out loud, why you care about sports. Why, with so many things to do on this planet, do you spend your free time watching people you don’t know play a game that will have no material effect on your life except, most of the time, to make you an...

Chris Bosh Has Escalated His PR Battle With The Miami Heat
The Miami Heat begin training camp in six days. It’s unclear, exactly, if Chris Bosh will be there, or if he is, to what extent he will be participating. Bosh, who believes he is healthy enough to play, has been applying pressure to the Heat this offseason, and he is now pressing even harder as the ...
USC Is Already A Mess
This past weekend, USC got stomped out by Stanford. That such a development is barely a blip on the radar is, as others have pointed out, alarming in an of itself from the USC perspective, and already first-year head coach Clay Helton appears to be cracking under the pressure....
