And if you're like me, you're hoping that Florida State los...
How Much Madison Bumgarner Are We Going To See Tonight?
It took the Royals about an hour to put away Game 6 last night, leaving us all plenty of time to start thinking about how each team plans to set itself up in Game 7. One question looms larger than all the others: How much is Madison Bumgarner going to pitch?...
Oh Man, The Lakers Are In Big, Big Trouble
Yep, the Lakers really are going with this whole "play terrible basketball on purpose" thing. Last night against the Rockets, they attempted 10 three-pointers as a team—two more than Houston's Trevor Ariza fired up by himself—and sent the Rockets to the free-throw line 50 times. They did both of t...
Kobe And Dwight Howard Talk Shit To Each Other, Get Double Technicals
Dwight Howard left the Lakers a season ago, but because of Kobe Bryant's achilles injury, the two haven't played against each other since their ill-fated partnership blew up in everybody's face. If you thought things between the two were all good, well, you don't know Kobe Bryant very well....
Anthony Davis Still Improving Should Terrify Opponents
LeBron James's return to Cleveland was the biggest story of the 2014 NBA offseason, but in the not-so-distant future we may be referring to it instead as the summer of Anthony Davis. With almost none of America's big stars playing in the FIBA Basketball World Cup, the 21(!) year old power forward an...
It's Opening Night, & Gregg Popovich Is Already Fed Up With Interviews
It's no secret that Gregg Popovich is no fan of the in-game interview, but we figured he'd make it through at least one of them this season without the whole thing breaking down into a postmodern farce. We were wrong....

Where Does Aaron Lewis's Rank Among The Worst National Anthems Ever?
Aaron Lewis, lead singer of Staind, butchered "The Star-Spangled Banner" ahead of last night's World Series game. He has since apologized, but he needn't; his rendition immediately goes down in history as one of the most memorable. ...

All Of Madison Bumgarner's Game 5 Strikeout Pitches, At The Same Time
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner's line last night was filthy, and in the course of earning the complete game he picked up eight strikeouts while walking zero. Here is a video featuring a composite of all eight of those strikeout pitches, similar to what we did with Clayton Kershaw's no-hitter....
Madison Bumgarner Was The Best Version Of Himself Last Night
Madison Bumgarner, who now owns one of the best World Series résumés of any starting pitcher in history, was a monster last night. He's been a monster throughout the postseason, of course, but last night gave us a good look at the scariest version of the stoic lefty. ...
Madison Bumgarner Should Be Illegal
Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner's biggest weakness is the start of the game. He holds a 5.73 ERA in the first inning this season, and a 2.49 average in the rest of them. The Royals did not get to Bumgarner early. They did not get to Bumgarner at all....
World Series National Anthem Botched By That Asshole From Staind

Hunter Pence's Catch Was Good, But His Face Was Better
Giants outfielder Hunter Pence made an excellent catch in the ninth inning of Game 4 last night, but please watch the slow-mo replay. Look at Pence's crazed face. It's a combination of the Michael Jordan tongue wag and the eyes of someone who locked eyes with Medusa....
Michigan Gets Asses Kicked After Defacing Spartan Stadium With Spike
Can we talk about how weird and stupid this is? This is the Michigan Wolverines football team—awful in every way, from the tactical to the executive to the medical—shoving a spike into the Spartan Stadium turf and celebrating like a bunch of morons just prior to getting their shit kicked in by Michi...

B1G Officials Lose Minds, Award OSU An INT On Obvious Incomplete Pass

Lawsuit: NCAA Athletics Violate Labor Laws
