What Is The Worst Store?<em></em>
As you know, shopping is a migraine. It is a brutal conglomeration of terrible parking spots, high prices, slow-moving old people, heavy bags, and shoddy merchandise. But which store is the worst of them all? Which store—and we’re talking about any store that sells any type of good—is the one that b...
Joel Embiid Plays At All-World Level After Being Removed From Glass Case<em></em>
NBA preseason games are not fun to watch, but when they give you the opportunity to see a singular talent whose appearances on the court are far too scarce, then it’s time to tune in. The 76ers’ Joel Embiid, ostensibly somewhat healthy, lent his game some value tonight when he hit the court for the ...

The USMNT Got Exactly What It Deserved
So here we are. After a shambolic qualifying campaign full of perceived nadirs, false dawns, and nearly constant disappointment, the USMNT has finished behind Mexico and Costa Rica and Panama and Honduras in the hexagonal table. The U.S. fell to Trinidad & Tobago last night, and will not compete in ...
Report: Joel Embiid's Huge Deal Lets The Sixers Dump Him If He Has A Bum Foot Or Bad Back<em></em>
When frequently injured Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid signed a five-year, $146.5 million maximum contract extension the day before yesterday, ESPN’s Zach Lowe quoted a source calling it “perhaps the most complex” contract in NBA history. Now some of that complexity is coming to light, and th...
Trinidad And Tobago's Golazo Adds To American Frustration
All the USMNT needed tonight was some sort of result in order to get peace of mind and guarantee World Cup qualification, but an own goal from Omar Gonzalez, and then, a stunning long-distance golazo from Trinidad & Tobago’s Alvin Jones has put the Americans down 2-0 at half....
What The Hell Is Going On With Markelle Fultz's Free Throws?
Have you ever found a caterpillar, fed and nurtured it in a jar, seen it through its cocoon phase, watched it emerge as a nice butterfly, and then released it into the wild with a happy little hop? Maybe Markelle Fultz did a lot of that back in the day because that’s how he shoots a damn free throw ...

Joel Embiid's Contract Will Be All About The Details
This isn’t a thing that you can often say about an NBA contract extension, given that they do not usually contain labyrinthian incentive structures or non-guaranteed money, but it’s hard to make any kind of value judgment on the five-year, $148 million extension the Sixers just gave Joel Embiid....
The Dodgers Are Going To The NLCS, But The Diamondbacks Made Sure That They Can't Go Swimming
The Dodgers completed their three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks tonight with a 3-1 victory, supported by a strong start from Yu Darvish and some offense from Cody Bellinger. The best regular-season team in baseball has also been the one to carve the smoothest path through the playoffs so far, as th...

The USMNT's World Cup Qualifier Might Be A Little Underwater
The U.S. Men’s National Team can all but clinch a place in the 2018 World Cup with any sort of result at Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday evening. Except: It’s now looking kind of questionable whether the match will be able to be played. The pitch at Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva is sodden and in places...
Egypt Qualify For The World Cup And No One Is Happier Than This Sweet Old Dad
Mohamed Salah was Egypt’s hero yesterday, scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Congo that officially stamped the Egyptians’ tickets to next summer’s World Cup.

Donald Penn Gets Into It With An Abusive Fan
The Raiders, without Derek Carr, dropped a 30-17 game against the scuffling Ravens that wasn’t even quite as close as the score would suggest. Everyone’s frustrated, as what was supposed to be a team capable of making a deep postseason run is now just 2-3. But here’s where I’d like to remind everyon...

Glove-Aided Dinger Helps Red Sox Stave Off Elimination
The Red Sox-Astros series was looking like a real turd heading into Game 3, with the Astros having outscored the Red Sox 16-4 in a pair of lopsided games in Houston. The Red Sox responded Sunday afternoon at Fenway with some overdue offense and managed to push the series to a Game 4....
