Did The Warriors Break LeBron James?
The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t winning the NBA title this season. You know it, I know it, and somewhere deep down, Cavs forward and baldness cure test subject LeBron James has to know it, too. He has to know that he’s only got a few more years left in him, and those years are likely to be spent watc...
Irritable Bearded Men Fight At Blue Jackets Game
Two clowns at Tuesday’s Red Wings-Blue Jackets game argued and threw punches at each other before security intervened. It’s unclear what prompted the brawl, but it was most likely very important....
Ned Yost, Friend Of The Bees, Rights Past Wrongs
On March 8, 2015, Royals manager Ned Yost was forced to witness the ruthless destruction of a bee hive during a spring training game against the Angels. One year later, Yost found himself in exactly the same situation, but this time our good man helped save the bees....
Eagles-Dolphins Trade Could Be Off Because Of Byron Maxwell's Shoulder
The NFL’s two-day “legal tampering period,” on top of having a silly name, is a silly idea. It’s designed for teams to talk to agents before free agency officially opens, but they’re not supposed to agree to deals, not even in principle. They always do, of course—that’s why those deals are officiall...
Donald Trump Shouts Out Paul O'Neill At Press Conference, Gets His Endorsement
Former Yankees outfielder Paul O’Neill showed up at the press conference turned Home Shopping Network program that Donald Trump, a short-fingered megalomaniac, held in Florida tonight, and even got a shoutout during Trump’s speech. John Kasich will be torn up about not getting his fellow Ohioan’s su...
Let's Watch Some Diego Maradona Highlights For No Good Reason
The other day I went down a YouTube rabbithole trying to find a song to pair with a video to make a meme (don’t ask), and ended up watching Diego Maradona highlights for an hour. I know all about la mano de Dios, his absolute filleting of England during the 1986 World Cup, and of course the absurdit...
Keith Olbermann Bodyslams Donald Trump Through The Core Of The Earth
Ever since Keith Olbermann left the ESPN airwaves eight months ago, there has been a conspicuous lack of uppercutting people into volcanoes and dropkicking them through glass doors in our lives. But there was no way the man who made his post-SportsCenter name exchanging haymakers with the Bush admin...

Olympian Nick Willis Talks About Beating Porn

Eagles' Trades Show Who's Really Running The Team
It was a year ago, in the span of one crazy week, when the Eagles signed DeMarco Murray and Byron Maxwell and traded for Kiko Alonso. They were the crown jewels of Chip Kelly’s first offseason after winning a power struggle for control of Philadelphia’s personnel decisions. Now, in the span of a day...

Man Who Tries To Grab Home Run Ball From Kids Gets What He Deserves

Ben Carson's Presidential Campaign Was A Big Success
Hear me, O Americans. If lots of people want to give you lots and lots of money to go stand on stages and just kinda sleepily free-associate whatever pops into your mind in response to prompts from strangers, and want to treat you like a rock star for doing it, and will support you in this behavior ...

Get A Load Of This <i>Chicago Tribune</i> Columnist's Bad Steph Curry Take
Whatever your opinion on the Golden State Warriors—whether you think they can eat shit, or believe that their haters should shut the fuck up, or [untangleable mess of puns], or you love them—it’s inarguable that they are good at basketball. That’s sort of a ridiculous premise to have to establish, b...
Pachuca Commemorated Pokémon's 20th Anniversary With Some Great, Strange Tweeting
