Tour De France Descends Into Chaos, Leader Forced To Run Up A Damn Mountain

Chris Froome appeared to have the Tour de France by the balls through most of this afternoon’s mountain stage up to Mount Ventoux, parrying away Nairo Quintana’s first attack and dropping everyone who posed a threat to his Tour on the final climb. While distancing Quintana and the rest of the genera...

Shaq's Large Adult Son Is Already A Beast

This is Shareef O’Neal, Shaq’s big-as-hell son. He’s a high school sophomore, but he’s already 6-foot-9 and can dunk over his massive father. Look at this dang dunk:...

Twitter Prankster Fools Sky Sports Into Reading Made Up Facts About Team From Gibraltar

Yesterday afternoon, Celtic lost a 1-0 stunner in Champions League qualifying to the Lincoln Red Imps, who are a semi-professional team from Gibraltar. A police officer scored the lone goal, and Celtic now have to win at home to avoid getting bounced by the best team from a country of 30,000....

Police Report: Draymond Green Acts Like That In Real Life, Apparently [UPDATE]

Draymond Green was arrested on Sunday for an alleged assault. Details started to trickle out that Green had slapped a taunting fan, who was later rumored to be Michigan State football player Jermaine Edmondson.

NBC Won't Air The Olympics Opening Ceremony Live

The Rio Olympics formally begin August 5th with the opening ceremony from the Maracanã stadium. Proceedings start at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, only you won’t be able to watch them on NBC until at least an hour later. At a press conference yesterday, NBC execs announced plans to broadcast the ceremony at ...

Former Penn State AD Timothy Curley Pleaded The Fifth To Nearly Every Question He Was Asked

The last question that former Penn State Athletic Director Timothy Curley gave a real answer to in a June 2015 deposition regarding his alleged protection of Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky was, “Are you currently employed?” He responded, “No,” and then refused to answer whether or not he was the AD....

Pissing Tour de France Rider Calls Peeping Cameraman A "Fucking Wanker"<em></em>

Highlights are hard to come by at the Tour de France. Cameramen are always on the lookout for weird little moments, like Taylor Phinney playing one of those weird shell helmets like a drum or Alejandro Valverde reading the newspaper. However, sprint genius Mark Cavendish stopping for a pee break isn...

All My Pokémon Are Boring Trash Idiots

This weekend, I walked around Central Park—a hub for Pokémon Go enthusiasts, apparently—for about three hours trying to catch some good pocket monsters. All I got was a flock of Pidgeys. I hate them....

Remember When Tim Duncan Almost Signed With The Magic?

Among NBA players who spent their entire careers with one team, only Kobe Bryant had a longer tenure with his than Tim Duncan. Duncan played 1,643 games for San Antonio, and no player and franchise are as synonymous as Duncan and the Spurs are. It’s easy to forget, then, just how close he came to le...

Stay Out Of Chris Froome's Way If You Don't Want To Get Punched

Heading into the first rest day of the Tour de France, Chris Froome holds the yellow jersey by a slim margin. Nairo Quintana, Adam Yates, and a few other plucky challengers are right there with him, but Froome and Team Sky have done what they do every year: wring the life out of every vaguely hilly ...

Ben Simmons Did Some Cool Passes Last Night

NBA Summer League isn’t a particularly useful venue for determining how good an NBA prospect will be (I remember when Donte Greene dropped 40 in the 2008 Summer League), but that doesn’t mean that these passes Ben Simmons threw last night aren’t dope....

Anderson Silva Will Fight Daniel Cormier At UFC 200

Last night, Jon Jones got pulled out of this weekend’s UFC 200 for failing a drug test. Daniel Cormier was devastated, bemoaning his lost chance to get revenge on Jones for beating him in 2015. Dana White said that he was looking for last minute replacements instead of scrapping the fight, and it tu...

Cubs Fan Carted Off Wrigley Field After Falling Onto Warning Track During Rain Delay

During a rain delay before the Cubs-Braves game this evening, a fan fell over the right field bleachers and onto the warning track.

Study: The Rio Olympics Went $1.6 Billion Over Budget

The upcoming Olympics have been marred by the Zika crisis, body parts washing up on a prominent beach, a lack of security, disease-ridden shitwater, and a political meltdown. All these extra-normal maladies have made it somewhat easy to wash over the fact that Rio has created the same boring problem...

Mayor, Congressman Disagree On Whether Or Not The NFL Draft Will Be In Philadelphia

The NFL Draft has been held in Chicago for the past two years. According to Congressman Bob Brady, who represents Pennsylvania’s 1st congressional district, the event will be in Philadelphia next year. According to Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney, no, it won’t. It’s not currently clear who’s right, wh...

Mark Cavendish Is Back To Kicking Everyone's Ass At The Tour De France

Sprinters don’t tend to have long peaks in cycling. For every Erik Zabel or Robbie McEwen who dominates the Tour de France for half a decade, you have bushels of Thor Hushovds and Alessandro Petacchis—who win one points competition and a decent amount of stages, but never hold onto the crown of “Wor...

Jon Jones Pulled From UFC 200 For Doping Violation

Jon Jones will miss this weekend’s UFC 200, where he was supposed to fight a rematch against Daniel Cormier in the main event, for a doping violation. The headliner of one of the UFC’s biggest cards of all time is now gone after he apparently failed a test three weeks ago....

The full conversation runs on E:60 tomorrow, but ESPN published a few choice excerpts in ad...

The Fight Between Berkeley's Academics And Its Football Team Is Getting Ugly

There’s this old joke around Berkeley that nobody actually knows what the town’s famous university is called. UC Berkeley, Cal Berkeley, California, and a few other permutations get tossed around—most notably “Berkeley,” which academic departments use to refer to the school, and “Cal,” the preferred...
