Britt McHenry Plays To Type
When last we checked in with Britt McHenry, the former ESPN employee who found an opportunity with a Fox News web-based venture and ran with it, the Washington Post spent a lot of space to consider her as a person with depth, one who thinks carefully about the arguments she makes. Last weekend, she ...
Fox News Completely And Predictably Botches Report On Caster Semenya

Surely This Video Of Steve Kerr Being Annoyed At Draymond Green's Loud Music Won't Be Turned Into A Thing

Mike Trout Extends On-Base Streak, Makes Amazing Catch As Angels Lose Yet Again
Mike Trout went 0-for-3 in Wednesday’s game against the Yankees, but he still drew a walk, which meant that in all 22 of the Angels’ games he’s played in this season, the outfielder has gotten on base. While it’s still worth gawking at his .510 OBP, feel free to also gawk at how he made this center-...

Stephen A. Smith Defends The Honor Of Co-Host And Alleged Farter Max Kellerman
Stephen A. Smith isn’t the prime suspect in the First Take Fart Mystery, but he’s still getting grilled for it. On Smith’s radio show Thursday, a caller started off with a comment about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but turned it into a thought on Max Kellerman’s allegedly stinky rear....

Benches Clear After Royals Plunk Tim Anderson On The Ass For Enjoying His Homer

The Cardinals Were Dumb Enough To Pitch To Christian Yelich Again
How did they not learn? One day after Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich smacked three taters and dropped seven RBI on them in a 10-7 win, the St. Louis Cardinals chose to pitch to him again. Why, idiots?...
A 23-year-old assistant coach and a Cheektowaga (N.Y.) under-18 player have been suspended for a year for their roles in this extremely racist shit at a Jan. 20 game.

Who Farted On <i>First Take</i>?
Here it is, the only reason to ever discuss First Take in a serious manner. During a characteristically loud discussion about Kevin Durant in Monday’s episode, it very much sounded like someone coughed as a maneuver to cover up a fart. But who was the culprit?...
There's A Lot Going On In This Jason Vargas Interview
Everyone’s eyes will naturally be drawn to the colonial-seeming fellow sliding into the background of Saturday’s postgame scrum for Mets pitcher Jason Vargas. Fine, that’s understandable. This blog will get to him shortly, but there are other things to appreciate here, too....
Brand Digs Up Jackie Robinson's Corpse To Sell Beer
If people would stop accepting ads like this as being anything beyond an ad, there’s a chance they might stop being made that way. In the meantime, a brand used Jackie Robinson, who didn’t drink alcohol, according to his wife Rachel, and a two-toned baseball (yecccch) as a prompt to sell beer. They ...
Guy Who Publicly Threw Le'Veon Bell Under The Bus Wants Former Steelers To Stop Airing Dirty Laundry
It works in Ramon Foster’s favor that most offensive linemen aren’t well known and rarely grab attention, so when he issues a call for civility to former Steelers players like he did today, it’s seen as a sign of leadership and not a desperate measure by the worst union rep in the NFL....
