Finally, Here's The All-Borat Episode<em></em>
When we recorded this Deadcast, Sacha Baron Cohen’s Who Is America had yet to premiere. To the extent that we or our extra-lanky returning guest Patrick Redford knew anything about the show, it was through a series of brief promotional videos in which Cohen himself didn’t even appear, although it se...

In the days and hours before the 4 p.m. trade deadline on July 31, contenders across baseball will make their moves.

Per the News 4 JAX I-...
Carlos Gomez Can't Hit The Ball, But He Can Hit This Water Cooler
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez is hitting .197 on the year, and the strikeout he picked up in his first at-bat of today’s game won’t help matters. But at least Gomez is batting 1.000 against stationary water coolers....
Rays, Marlins Inflict 16 Innings Of Rays-Marlins Baseball On A Few Degenerate Fans
In a 16-inning battle between the Rays and the Marlins that started a little after 7 p.m. on July 3 and carried on until 12:42 a.m on July 4, it was a double from Tampa’s Jake Bauers that broke a seemingly never-ending 4-4 deadlock and eventually led the Rays to an exhausting 9-6 victory.

The NFL Concussion Settlement Keeps Failing People It's Supposed To Help

Dayton Moore Is Being An Idiot
The tell is how little Dayton Moore is trying. The Royals’ general manager could point to the statistics that show Luke Heimlich is highly unlikely to reoffend. He could go into detail about how sex-offender registries and similar banishments don’t work, especially for juvenile offenders. He could e...
Jameis Winston Suspended Three Games For Groping Uber Driver

The third man who was hanging out with Jameis Winston and Ronald Darby the night in March 2016 an Uber driver says the Buccaneers quarterback groped her has been revealed, and it’s Brandon Banks—the former Vanderbilt player currently serving a 15-year sentence for his role in raping a woman in 2013....

Thanks To "Mike Litoris," CM Punk And Colt Cabana Win Lengthy Defamation Case
On Tuesday morning, as defense attorney Laura McNally of the firm Loeb & Loeb made her closing argument in Amann v.
