St. Louis Cardinals Release Statement Announcing That Giancarlo Stanton Has Owned Them<em></em>
Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday that baseball murderer Giancarlo Stanton will not waive his no-trade clause for the Giants or Cardinals. (The Astros and Cubs remain in the mix, albeit behind the Yankees and Dodgers.) Stanton’s refusal to go to St. Louis wasn’t a hypothetical one, according to the Ca...
The "Art Modell Law" Might Be Columbus's Best Shot At Keeping The Crew
The Columbus Crew’s season is over, but the fight over where they’ll play the 2019 season is becoming increasingly heated. Despite it being a horrendous breach of trust with the city of Columbus and an affront to MLS’ bizarre, artificially deflated business model, MLS czar Don Garber is apparently c...
Enjoy This Lovely Christmas Moment
Last weekend, Santa made a preseason appearance at the Tampa Bay Beach Bums Operation Santa Charity Volleyball Tournament to deliver a toy to a very lucky nine-year-old. He opted not to use a sleigh, instead skydiving into the beach but before that into a tree and a lightpole....

Report: Oregon Coach Dana Altman Might Have Known More Than He Disclosed<em></em> About Player's Rape Case
This June, the Daily Emerald reported that Oregon guard Kavell Bigby-Williams played the entire 2016-17 season while under a criminal investigation for rape, a crime he was accused of in 2016 in Wyoming.

Ball Brothers Sign With Agent And Will Apparently Try To Play Overseas
Less than a week after LaVar Ball pulled his middle son LiAngelo from UCLA after a vague disagreement with the school regarding discipline for the freshman’s shoplifting arrest in China, Ball told ESPN that both LiAngelo and 16-year-old LaMelo had signed with agent Harrison Gaines and would soon sig...
Nick Young Finds The Outer Limit Of The Pump Fake
Nick Young’s shooting form is just a bit outside the realm of what most would dub conventional, to say nothing of the times and places that he chooses to take his shots. He has a high release point, though he attains that altitude by jerking his body over to the left and casting the ball out relativ...
Oakland A's "Shocked" After Latest Stadium Plan Falls Through
The Oakland A’s have been trying to leave their sewage-logged digs for a new ballpark for what feels like decades now. In September, they expressed their desire to build a new, privately financed stadium near Laney College, right in the middle of Oakland next to Lake Merritt. They’ll have to pick a ...
Saints Get Special Teams Excellence From A QB Named Taysom
For a long time, the backup Saints QB has been a cushy gig. Aside from one emergency Luke McCown start in 2015, New Orleans quarterbacks other than Drew Brees have thrown 10 passes this decade. So, third-stringer Taysom Hill’s best chance to actually play is at a position other than quarterback. Thi...
Francis Ngannou's "Uppercut From Hell" Is Just The Beginning
With all due respect to the first minute of this weekend’s Alistair Overeem-Francus Ngannou fight at UFC 218, in which the two heavyweights hung out at the fence and just sort of idly touched bellies until the referee intervened, Overeem was essentially unconscious as soon as the fight began. In the...

Huge Chunk Of Boulder Breaks Off In Climber's Hands
Earlier this year, climber Brian Koralewski was working on a V6 problem in Little Rock Canyon, Utah, near Provo. The route he climbed was an established one, as several climbers have posted videos of themselves sending it in recent years. However, right as Koralewski was going to finish his climb, a...
<i>Lady Bird</i> Is As Honest As Teen Movies Get<em></em>
What do you remember about growing up? Was your tenure in high school characterized by grandiose, dramatic blowups and public betrayals, the sort you’ll see in, say, Riverdale? Or was it marked by subtler moments of inner tumult—smoldering angst rather than a bleeding heart? The version of teenage l...
Enes Kanter Celebrated LeBron James's Ejection By Getting Spicy Online<em></em>
Last night, LeBron James was ejected from a game for the first time in his 15-year NBA career. James claimed he’d reacted because James Johnson had fouled him “all the way up the court.” Referee Kane Fitzgerald explained he ejected LeBron because of a series of transgressions, including LeBron charg...

Blake Griffin Suffered A Scary-Looking Knee Injury And The Clippers Are So Fucked
Late in last night’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Austin Rivers fell onto Blake Griffin’s knee while scrambling with Lonzo Ball for a loose ball. Griffin fell to the ground clutching his knee and checked out for good after the next Clippers possession....
Tennessee AD John Currie Is Now Under Fire For Bungling The Greg Schiano Hire
The University of Tennessee athletic department is currently in full-on crisis mode thanks to the bungled hiring of Greg Schiano, and the apparent and baffling lack of vetting behind the decision-making process that led to that hiring. Not only is Schiano not going to be the next Volunteers coach, b...
Arkansas Fires Bret Bielema Immediately After Loss To Mizzou
Arkansas closed out a disappointing 4-8 season with a crushing 48-45 loss to Missouri tonight, and right after the game ended, they announced the long-anticipated firing of coach Bret Bielema.

Tennessee WR Jauan Jennings Dismissed After Ranting About Team's "Lying-Ass Coaches"
Tennessee receiver Jauan Jennings was kicked off the team earlier this week after he went on a expletive-laden rant against the school’s coaching staff.

Gifts For Climbers
Unlike many outdoor or outdoor-adjacent sports, climbing requires a lot of crap. When I just went on runs everyday, all I needed were some shoes, but now that I’ve been climbing, I need to maintain and prune a small army of very specific items. There is an essentially limitless arsenal of shit avail...
