Jalen Ramsey Suspended After Throwing Fit Over Reporter Doing His Job

Tiger Woods Is Back
Tiger Woods didn’t win, which is how I’ll remember this year’s PGA Championship. But he was close, which is what made it to me the most exciting and memorable PGA Championship in a decade. Because I don’t care about golf, don’t find it interesting as a sport. (Complaints can be directed here.) But I...

Tre Boston Thinks NFL Teams Are Colluding To Underpay Safeties
Statistically, Tre Boston was one of the NFL’s better cover safeties last season, when he played for the Chargers.

Paul Pogba's Weirdo Penalty Is The First Premier League Goal Of The Season
At the start of a game that probably shouldn’t be played right now (I mean really, the World Cup ended less than a month ago for chrissakes, don’t these guys deserve some rest?), a player that probably shouldn’t be playing (Paul Pogba had a big role in that World Cup right up till the end, you might...

That Time An Ass Exam Scuttled The Sixers' Chances Of Signing Pete Maravich
Basketball what-ifs can be a fun game to play, so here’s one that wouldn’t have significantly changed the course of NBA history but is nonetheless odd: Did you know an in-his-twilight “Pistol” Pete Maravich might have picked the Celtics over the 76ers because of a threatened ass exam?...
Why Your Team And Pizza Mogul And Claymation Furniture Pitchman And Tech Mogul Suck
As a great American thinker has honked: We’re back.
