U.S. Soccer Still Needs Jurgen Klinsmann, But Maybe Not As Manager
We’ve been here before. Another disappointing USMNT loss, this time an especially egregious pants-shitting at Costa Rica, more tactical madness and puzzling formation choices, more hints of behind-the-scenes acrimony, and again, more calls for Jurgen Klinsmann’s job. None of that is new. What is dif...
The USMNT Got The Ass Whooping They Deserved
The United States Men’s National Team is in a bad place right now. A few days after losing the opening game of the final round of World Cup qualifying 2-1 to Mexico, they traveled down to Costa Rica and got played off the pitch by Los Ticos from the first whistle. Costa Rica are a perfectly fine tea...
Fuck Everything And Blame Everyone
Blame white people. Blame white men in particular, but reserve plenty of blame for white women. Blame old people, too. Blame rich people, as always. Blame the public at large for Donald fucking Trump getting more votes than Donald Duck. Democracy enacts the will of the public; this is what the publi...

Tonight’s Ohio high school football game between the Greenfield-McClain Tigers and Hillsboro Indians featured this embarrassing banner presented by the Greenfield-McClain cheerleaders, promising a “Trail of Tears Part 2" for Hillsboro.

WikiLeaks Emails Show Clinton Aides Cowering In Fear Of Seeming To Care About The Poor
Here is a remarkable bit from the recently WikiLeaked emails of John Podesta, chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. If it doesn’t quite reveal some nefarious master plan for technoligarch world domination, it at least provides an opportunity to goggle at some extremely dumb campaign s...

Root For The Baltimore Orioles In The Playoffs
The Baltimore Orioles gave up their chance at a glorious regular season in fits and starts, but mostly in one four-day span from Sept. 19-22, when they hosted the first-place Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards for a four-game series in which they were swept, losing by scores of 5-2, 5-2, 5-1, and 5-3.

Team North America Wrongly Thought They Had Advanced
Nathan MacKinnon’s wonderful OT goal capped a dramatic win against Sweden, and—oh, hell, let’s watch that sequence again, it was so good. This time with Spanish commentary by the great Robert Abramowitz:...
Nathan MacKinnon's Filthy Goal Wins It In OT For Team North America
You were watching like I said, right? Then you saw a hell of a 3-on-3 overtime, decided on a sequence that saw John Gibson stop Daniel Sedin, Johnny Gaudreau hustle to the loose puck and feed Nathan MacKinnon, who then absolutely flummoxed Henrik Lundqvist for the winner:...

Lindsey Graham Wants To Destroy America
Nary a single flag-humping horse’s ass, badge-licking fraud, or smarmy nostalgic thinkfluencer in the Western Hemisphere passed up the chance to display performative patriotism in the wake of Colin Kaepernick’s ongoing national anthem protest. Here in 2016, national fabrics both figurative and liter...
Team North America Is An Absolute Blast
Team USA shit the bed, losing 3-0 to Team Europe. If they don’t get a point from Canada tomorrow night, their tournament is probably over. (So it’s probably over.) Bummer, after all that hype. But—ah!—the World Cup of Hockey had just this scenario in mind, when they created your perfect backup team ...
