Boston Is So Embarrassing
By now you are surely aware of the fact that WEEI host Alex Reimer was suspended indefinitely after saying Tom Brady’s daughter was being an “annoying little pissant” in a scene of the first episode of Brady’s new Facebook reality show.

The Antarctic Expedition That Included Alex Honnold Sounds Frigid And Terrifying
Antarctica is mostly known as a snowy wasteland, an island at the bottom of the world with nothing but ice and the odd penguin here and there. While it is covered in a few kilometers of ice, there is a continent underneath it all, and a rather mountainous one at that. Where there are mountains, ther...

Caroline Wozniacki defeated top-seeded Simona Halep 7-6, 3-6, 6-4 to win the Australian Open Saturday.

The Blackhawks Are Just Showing Off
The Chicago Blackhawks have been skating the Red Wings out of their shiny new arena since tonight’s opening puck drop. They chased starting goalie Jimmy Howard after less than nine minutes, but they saved their prettiest goal yet for Petr Mrazek. Twenty-year-old native Michigander Alex DeBrincat, hi...
Simona Halep Has Weathered Everything
Simona Halep will play the Australian Open final. On its face, the fact of that doesn’t seem particularly remarkable or surprising. She is after all, the highest-ranked player in the world, the top seed at this tournament, and only a few months removed from her last major final. She has yet to lose ...
Arsenal Punked Out Of Yet Another Star Player
If you had to pick a single image to represent Arsenal’s enduring subjugation in English soccer’s hierarchy, you could do a lot worse than one showing Robin van Persie lifting the Premier League trophy. van Persie famously pined for that title after failing to win it with Arsenal after nearly a deca...
Here Is Hyeon Chung, The Last Kid Standing
Through all of 2017 and then through the first week of the Australian Open, Rafa and Fed continued their merciless march through what was supposed to be the next crop of tennis contenders.

Saint Mary's Beat Gonzaga And Now They're Not Just Some Weirdos
There’s been no stranger team in the current generation of college basketball than the Jock Landale-led Saint Mary’s Gaels. During Landale’s career (he’s now a senior), the small California school has run an offense that looks straight out of the 1950s. They give it to the tall guy under the basket,...
Jalen Rose Tells Paul Pierce He's Being Petty About The Isaiah Thomas Video Tribute Fracas
Paul Pierce has made a big stink about the Celtics having the audacity to briefly honor Isaiah Thomas with a short video tribute before the Cavs visit the Celtics next month, and now that Thomas has formally asked the Celtics not to thank him, Pierce looks like a selfish asshole. Rather, as Jalen Ro...
The Steelers Will Not Be Bringing Todd Haley Back
Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who somehow managed to make a 42-point showing against the Jaguars feel like a job-losing performance, will not be returning to the Steelers’ sideline next season....
No. 1 Simona Halep Practically Twisted Her Ankle Off And Still Won
On Day One of the Australian Open, top-seeded Simona Halep stretched for a ball in the second set of her match against 17-year-old Destanee Aiava and rolled her ankle over... and over, and then somehow over even more until her foot was roughly perpendicular with her lower leg. The video is above, bu...
Jalen Ramsey Was Born For This
Maybe this is stupid, but my first thought after the Jaguars beat the Steelers to advance to the AFC Championship game was, “I can’t wait to see what Jalen Ramsey has to say about this.”...
Kolten Wong Had An Especially Frightening Time During Saturday's Missile Scare
Saturday’s brief missile scare is destined to become an obscure bit of trivia, especially after our idiot president inevitably fires a nuclear missile at, like, Luxembourg, over construction delays in the building of another gaudy Trump property. It already seems surreal and dreamlike that just yest...
Hawaiians Watching Morning Sports Treated To Terrifying "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" Missile Threat Alert [UPDATES]
A false alarm missile threat emergency message went across the Hawaiian islands today, blowing up phones and triggering the Emergency Alert System, something most of us have only ever experienced in our lives as “this is only a test.” Hawaiians who got up early to watch soccer or basketball instead ...
Maybe This Local Lad Will Spice Up The Australian Open
Oh hell yes the Australian Open is set to begin this weekend. Time for two weeks of physically deleterious nocturnal sports enjoyment and photos of elite athletes cuddling marsupials.

Nick Kyrgios Played Nice And Won
The defining experience of watching Nick Kyrgios play tennis is waiting for his Moment—the bad line call, or double-fault, or unseen internal implosion that irrevocably derails a fine match. In that sense, and in that sense only, his first tournament of the year would have left you twiddling your t...
U.S. Soccer Only Has Itself To Blame After Losing Jonathan González To Mexico
The United States’ defensive midfielder of the future will not be Jonathan González. A few days after reports surfaced that Mexico would be mounting a serious effort to flip the 18-year-old midfielder, he’s apparently made up his mind and will leave the USMNT behind to play for El Tri. Univision Dep...
