Please Enjoy This Brief Video Of Devin Booker Being A Pickup Weenie
In general, it’s fine to have informal house rules in a pickup basketball game. “Guard your man” is a good one, for example: Few things are more annoying or more ruinous to the flow of play than the lazy sack of crap who sags 20 feet off his man, substituting the aggregate strategic soundness of let...

All Elite Wrestling's Newest Signing Is As Divisive As Wrestlers Get

Zlatan Ibrahimović On MLS Playoffs: "I Think The System Is Shit"
Zlatan Ibrahimović’s summer of righteous discontent continues.

Wizards Signed Injury-Ravaged Point Guard To Mentor John Wall Through Injury Rehabilitation
NBA general managers will say a lot of things to hype up or defend or justify a personnel move. Every player who changes teams suddenly becomes a hard worker, a true professional, and a locker-room leader, if only during that initial flush of excitement. But this might be a new one: Wizards general...
Let's Remember Some Vince Carter Draftmates
Vince Carter is reportedly running it back with the Atlanta Hawks. Holy moly! He’ll turn 43 before the all-star break.

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores sure didn’t need long to determine he’d put the wrong man in charge of coaching his offensive line. Pat Flaherty had the job for less than six months—he was hired by Flores on February 8, and he was fired Monday, after just four training camp practices....
A Working Theory Of What The Mets Are Even Doing Right Now
On Sunday, the Mets did two unusual things. If you want to be rude, you can include them sweeping a series from the Pittsburgh Pirates as a third, but the first two are more notable and also let’s be nice. One of those unusual things was that, in a departure from the norm, the team did not use a “Su...
I Got The Last Laugh At Broncos Training Camp
For the past year, I’ve been dipping a mangled toe into the stand-up comedy waters around L.A. It’s hard, but not nearly so nerve-wracking as my very first gig: making fun of Mike Shanahan....

Maybe The Yankees Should Not Allow Masahiro Tanaka To Face The Red Sox
Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka got the start Thursday night in the first game of an important four-game series against the Red Sox.

Earl Thomas Says He Doesn't Regret Flipping The Bird At Pete Carroll

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Scores Hat Trick, Calls LAFC Coach A "Little Bitch"
Earlier this week, Zlatan Ibrahimovic did what Zlatan Ibrahimovic does best and decided to talk some shit.
