The Rockies don’t have Troy Tulowitzki anymore. They do have Trevor Story, a 23-year-old rookie shortstop who just became the first player in MLB history to hit a homer in each his first three career games. He went deep twice in his first game, making him the only player in history to mash four tate...
What Is The Best Non-Meat Sandwich Filling?
We had sandwiches for lunch at the office today, and they were all really delicious, except for the vegetarian options, which were frankly kind of weak and unsatisfying. Which got us to thinking—briefly—how to best construct a sandwich without meat....

Yankees Protest Game Over Confusing Baserunning Call
I, for one, am excited that 2016 has kicked off as the season of baserunning controversies. ...
Sixers Win Game, Make History
The Philadelphia 76ers—a misshapen experiment in gaming the NBA Draft lottery, who, weirdly enough, play actual basketball games—won their tenth game of the season tonight. Pity the poor Pelicans, who came into the year as a sexy pick to win 50 games, but had to stand by as Carl Landry (who had 22 p...
If Atlético Madrid Don't Beat Barcelona Next Week, Nobody Will

Of Course Adam Schefter Bought Into Greg Hardy's Bullshit
By now you know that Greg Hardy sat down for a VERY SERIOUS conversation with ESPN this week and turded up the joint the way only Greg Hardy can. He denied any wrongdoing, insinuated that these pictures could have been manipulated, and tossed in an empty Bible shout-out for good measure. Keep in min...

An observant reader has alerted us to the existence of Kelly Tripucka’s 1986-87 Fleer basketball card, which certainly appears to feature a bit of Tripucka’s sac. ...
D-Backs Manager Chip Hale Is Mad The Media Was Excited About Opening Day
The Diamondbacks’ season got off to a rough start last night. Newly acquired ace Zack Greinke, who signed for $206 million this offseason and could very well help the D-Backs become a wild card contender, got knocked around by the Colorado Rockies and Arizona lost 10-5. After the game, Diamondbacks ...

Every now and then, you see some shit so crazy that you momentarily forget where you are and what you’re supposed to be doing. We’ve all been this security guard before:...
Marcus Paige's Shot Deserved Better
A truly remarkable sports play can meet no crueler fate than to have its significance snuffed out by an even bigger play moments later. Marcus Paige’s game-tying three with four seconds left joins Tim Duncan’s prayer and Jermaine Kearse’s circus catch in the sad fraternity of indelible but ultimatel...
Villanova's Buzzer-Beater Required A Mop And A Choice
Past results do not guarantee future performance, the SEC forces funds to tell investors. It’s good advice. But in a final two games in which Villanova shot an unreal 63-of-97 from the field, if it came down to one shot—if it came down to Kris Jenkins with an open look—the Wildcats had to feel prett...

It Looks Like Someone Slugged UNC's Mascot After The Championship-Winning Shot
If things weren’t bad enough for the North Carolina mascot after Kris Jenkins stole Tar Heels fans’ hearts, it appears Rameses got decked in the aftermatch. Here’s a pair of video angles—one from CBS’s Seth Davis—that show the mascot getting into some sort of tussle after the shot went in....

Villanova's Little Guys Dominated UNC's Big Guys
This year’s NCAA Tournament opened with as crazy of an opening weekend as you’ll ever see, before settling into a boring procession of blowouts, which abruptly ended tonight, when Villanova beat North Carolina in a genuinely bonkers National Championship game. Hell, Kris Jenkins’ game-winning buzzer...
