News Dude Cries At The Sight Of Sharon Van Etten, Is A Good News Dude
Look, man, it's hard to be moved by things these days. Show me something that isn't Russell Westbrook going coast to coast for a two-handed slam in five seconds, and there's a good chance that my response is going to be, "That's butt." The problem is that a lot of things are butt, but what is defini...
Chris Paul Will Help You Clown Yourself
Last night, in Oklahoma City, Chris Paul turned the Thunder into a Swiffer.

How One Of America's Greatest Sportswriters Disappeared
It was almost endearing how an ink-smudged, deadline-addicted newspaper editor of yore would squint through the smoke from his cigarette and ask a bright young man why the hell he wanted to write sports. An editor like that was usually about as sensitive as a bolt cutter, but he couldn't resist th...
Racing Club's Ingenious Goal Is Why We Need More Free Kick Shenanigans

Ángel Di María Gets Ice Grill, Then Red Card For Grabbing Ref
About a minute before the GIF you see above, referee Michael Oliver gave Manchester United's Ángel Di María a yellow card for an obvious dive.
