A-Rod starts makeup for men product line, and we're all for it!
Maybe it’s the break-up, maybe it’s Maybelline. Look, we all handle heartbreak differently. Some of us change our hair color. Some of us go on soul-searching trips. I sob uncontrollably for a few hours while I re-download Tinder for the 30th time. For former MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez, launching ma...
The biggest “snubs” from the NBA Awards finalists
Y’all are already mad over ‘Player X’ not appearing on at least one of these ballots, so we’re gathered here today to commemorate those unable to join their peers as NBA Award Finalists. ...

Still think Rodgers could've run it in?
Down eight points and with just over two minutes remaining in the NFC Championship Game, Packers head coach Matt Lafleur opted to kick a field goal instead of going for the tie. The entire NFL world collectively scratched their heads and muttered, “Huh?” at the sight of the NFL’s MVP, Aaron Rodgers,...
The 21 best multi-sport athletes of the 21st century (yes, there are that many!)
Tim Tebow is attempting a return to football, attending minicamp with the Jacksonville Jaguars, this time as a tight end after he ran out of chances as a quarterback in 2015 when the Philadelphia Eagles cut him. In the interim, Tebow pursued a baseball career, making it as far as Triple-A in the Met...

It’s impossible to do this as a “greatest” list because there were too many stand-out Macho Moments throughout the course of Randy Savage’s storied career....
Home cookin’ won’t be equal for all NBA playoff teams
For the first time in two years, we might actually get to talk about home-court advantage in the NBA playoffs, but in a weird, 2021-ish kind of way....
Nathan MacKinnon is unplayable
Everyone knows that after his 105-point-in-a-56-game season that Connor McDavid is the best player in the world. But what my book presupposes is... maybe he isn’t? (an old joke, and I’ve come to have no use for Wes Anderson over the years and you likely have to, but it’s still a good one). ...
The gators are out at the PGA Championship!
ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt only needed to say two words to set the scene for Jason Scrivener’s second shot on the par-4 sixth at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island, South Carolina....
Stephen A. Smith and baseball, always an incredible combination
Just over a quarter of the way into the MLB season, it’s pretty safe to say that Shohei Ohtani has been insane. Ohtani currently leads Major League Baseball in home runs. He’s 3rd in slugging percentage, 15th in OPS, 18th in wOBA, and a partridge in a pear tree. Oh, he’s also been pretty damn good a...
Leave Kwame Brown alone

Sorry, Phoenix: The reward for your historic season is a first-round series against the world's best player and his championship team
Man, the Phoenix Suns are fantastic, so this isn’t to say they can’t do it, but it sucks that awaiting them in the first round after their fifth-best regular-season ever are LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers....
The boys of… spring? Full-season baseball back in Brooklyn for the first time since 1957
Tuesday was a big night for the Brooklyn Cyclones, as they played their first home game in more than 600 days, celebrated their 2019 New York-Penn League championship, and, after 20 years as a short-season affiliate of the Mets, brought full-season baseball back to Brooklyn. The Cyclones’ 4-3 loss t...

When I'd rather watch 'Schitt's Creek' than ANOTHER no-hitter, you know baseball has a problem
Last night, I was scrolling Twitter as the dulcet tones of Schitt’s Creek provided a backdrop to my evening. In short, I was doing nothing. As the late night baseball game out west between the Seattle Mariners and and the Detroit Tigers wore on, I started seeing familiar tweets in my timeline — we w...
As Rudy Giuliani’s kid runs for governor of New York (yes), let’s revisit his ridiculous lawsuit after getting dumped by Duke golf
Andrew Giuliani has been an obnoxious twit for so long that when his father Rudy was elected mayor of New York in 1993, it wasn’t out of line for Saturday Night Live to lampoon him by having Chris Farley portray the out-of-control seven-year-old....
Tony La Russa sold out his own player, and for what?
This Tony La Russa sociology experiment on the South Side of Chicago is going exactly as anyone familiar with the White Sox team and La Russa figured it would. And really, the only thing bailing La Russa out is that this roster was so turn-key when he took it over that even the injuries to Luis Robe...
More Tony La Russa ‘the right way’ B.S. — he’s mad his player hit a home run
White Sox manager Tony La Russa is stuck in an outdated philosophy full of unwritten rules and other bullshit that needs to go away if baseball has any chance of not dying with the dinosaurs that still run it. Last night, the White Sox were thumping the Minnesota Twins, 15-4, with two outs in the to...
Who’s got the best odds to walk away with NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?
Let me start by saying that I am no betting wizard. However, when it comes to NFL rookies, I like to think that I know my shit. I have studied these players endlessly, have spent entirely too much time thinking about their landing spots and their potential impacts on the field, and have daydreamed a...
