Bol Bol Can Apparently Shoot Threes Now, Which Seems Unfair
At this point in basketball history, the idea of a big man shooting three-pointers would shock only the most neolithic 1990s basketball-purist weirdo. The simple fact that three is more than two has radically rearranged the court to prioritize space above all else, and that has upended old norms to...
Washington Claims Former 49ers Linebacker Reuben Foster After Domestic Violence Arrest
Two days after the San Francisco 49ers released linebacker Reuben Foster, a move prompted by Foster’s arrest over the weekend on misdemeanor domestic violence charges, Foster has a new team.

Ass Team Of The Week: Oh Yeah, The San Francisco 49ers Still Play Football
Every person that cares about NFL football was freed from having to pay any attention to the San Francisco 49ers at the moment quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo tore his ACL in Week 3.

49ers Release Reuben Foster Hours After Second Domestic Violence Arrest Of 2018
The San Francisco 49ers announced Sunday morning that they have released linebacker Reuben Foster.

Barstool Sports Chud Has Heated Gaming Moment, Tells Virtual Joel Embiid To "Go Back To Africa"

The 49ers And Giants Are Playing Monday Night Football In Some Very Nasty Air
The Camp Fire started in Butte County last Thursday, and it’s already become both the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history.

Let's Remember Some Candidates: 1992 Election Card Guys Part Two
When last we visited Wild Card’s inexplicable and weirdly conscientious set of trading cards from the 1992 presidential election, we were taunted. Not just in the usual way that the past tends to taunt in a Remembering Some Guys scenario—all the reminders of things come and gone, the wreathing ambie...
Jon Gruden, After Humiliating Primetime Loss: People "Want To Be A Part Of This"
The Raiders suffered their most humiliating loss of the season Thursday night, a dismal 34–3 pounding to a one-win 49ers team that came into the game with a bottom-ten scoring offense, a bottom-ten scoring defense, and a rookie quarterback making his first career start. The Raiders opened up with a ...
Let's Remember Some Candidates: 1992 Election Card Guys
Where Wild Card’s set of trading cards for the 1992 presidential election is concerned, the question is less how the set came to be than why. The how part is easy: Given a smallish photo budget, a sufficiently defective sense of judgment, and no meaningful pressure to sell any of the cards, a compan...
Nick Mullens Kicked Ass And Then Cried And It Was Awesome
Perhaps it was giving too much credit to a pathetic Oakland Raiders squad to have thought that 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens, who started last night’s game despite never having taken a snap in regular-season NFL action, was going to have a hard time. But even though it came against a team as lifele...

Raheem Mostert Leaves Game With Gut-Churning Arm Injury [Warning: Graphic]
Raheem Mostert left Thursday night’s totally awful and pointless contest between the 49ers and Raiders in the third quarter, after he was tripped on an inside run, tried to brace his fall, and had his right forearm bend in several wrong directions. This video is extremely unpleasant:...
German Soccer Player Bites Off (And Maybe Eats?) Chunk Of Opponent's Nose

The Packers' All-Out Blitz Won The Day
The focus is rightly going to be on the final two drives, Aaron Rodgers leading the Packers a combined 139 yards for two scores in a total of just 2:12, including a textbook 10-play, 81-yard drive that used up every last second of the 1:07 remaining. “It’s part of going against the best quarterback ...
Aaron Rodgers Adds Another Career-Defining Victory To His Résumé
Aaron Rodgers did what Aaron Rodgers does best on Monday night, leading the Green Bay Packers to a brilliant comeback over the 49ers at Lambeau Field.

Everything That Happened After The Fight Was Great For Conor McGregor
When Khabib Nurmagomedov vaulted out of the octagon to try and beat up Dillon Danis for supposedly talking wild, racist shit on Saturday, he did more than cost himself a ton of money, earn a suspension, and line himself up to get “smashed” by his father. He also saved Conor McGregor’s ass....
