Sour Beer: The San Francisco Treat
Is beer food? That's a deceptively complex question. At first, you're like, "Of course beer is food, because it's made of barley and wheat and other edible plants," but then you realize that you don't chew beer, and food is something strongly associated with chewing. But wait, soup! Soup is definite...
Times Of Day To Have Some Damn Peace And Quiet Around Here, Ranked
When you are a Sad Dad, one of the things you spend the most time pining for—after, like, an actual grown-up date with your spouse, a window of more than five minutes in which to take a shower, and relief from the constant background awareness of your own bottomless inadequacy—is some damn peace and...
Report: Dwight Howard's Son Showed Signs Of Abuse, Per Doctor
In August, Dwight Howard's ex-girlfriend went to children's services in Orlando to claim that Howard had used a belt to punish their six-year-old son. Yesterday, it emerged reported that Howard had been cleared after an investigation, but documents obtained today by TMZ indicate that the doctor who ...
The Best NBA Players Win 50 Or More Games By Their Third Year
Outside of the occasional planetary destruction of a Beast Mode run or five-inning save in Game 7, football and baseball don't really lend themselves to pinning a team's wins and losses on a single player. But basketball is a little different. Quarterbacks don't play defense and baseball actually is...
My Kid’s Insane List Of Reasons To Be Thankful, Annotated
I have an 8-year-old who has something of an overactive imagination, which is a good thing for a child to have, in theory. There are entire 10,000-word think pieces and scientific studies now about how all playgrounds should be replaced with an open field and a giant barrel of sticks so that kids...
“Fuckin’ Adrian Peterson, Man.” Fun With Chris Pratt!
I did a whole big cover story on Chris Pratt for GQ (which you can read right here), but if you're one of those people who reply THA GOD to every single Instagram photo of him and you need more Pratt in your life, there will be a shitload of extras from the article posting there online tomorrow. Fo...
Take One For The Team, Or Take The Money And Run?
On Sunday, Brian Shrader, a relative unknown, won the US National 12K Championship in Washington D.C., for which he earned a $20,000 prize. It's a big purse for running, but Shrader may not see a nickel of it. Why? Because of the NCAA....
Kevin Durant To Dwight Howard: "You're A Pussy"
I don't think you can really call what happened between the Thunder and Rockets last night a "basketball game," what with both teams shooting under 30 percent and the Rockets winning 69-65 (even the mid-90s Knicks would blanch at that score). An ugly game like that tends to breed contempt—both sides...
"Hail To The Redskins" Is Obscene; This Man's Belly Is Here To Prove It
We've highlighted the sad and obscene history of Washington's fight song, but that still didn't convince all of you that it's not fit for public performance. So here's video of a shirtless guy with a mammoth gut dancing to "Hail To The Redskins," sent to us by reader Ben....

Odell Beckham Jr. Makes Circus Catch, But All For Naught
It's really a shame Odell Beckham Jr. went to all the work required to bring in this catch, because the Giants went and turned the ball over instead of scoring anyway....
