Classic Man: Make Your Own Deodorant
Frequently in this space, we will consult a different entry in the 1987 book The Modern Man’s Guide to Life to see how the advice therein has aged. Previously, we talked baths for girls; today, we’re exploring the idea of homemade deodorant. ...

And Now, The Rare Sacrifice Fly Scored By A Man From Second Base
Tigers center fielder Anthony Gose caught a long fly from Josh Donaldson during fourth inning action in Toronto today and casually started jogging back to the dugout. That’d be fine, except it wasn’t the third out of the inning—and the Blue Jays had Ryan Goins on second base....

Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Carolina Panthers

MLB Wins Barry Bonds Collusion Case
In 2007, Barry Bonds earned $19.3 million, led the league with an OBP of .480, and hit, by his Olympian standards, a meager 28 home runs. The San Francisco Giants did not offer him a contract the next season, which was understandable given the amount of very public shit Bonds and the team has gone t...

Madison Bumgarner Cannot Stop Hitting Home Runs
Last night Madison Bumgarner won his 15th game, good for a tie with Jake Arrieta atop the National League. Perhaps more impressively, he took Jeff Locke deep in the second inning. His two-run dinger made the difference in the Giants 6-4 win, and at 415 feet, was longer than debutante Marlon Byrd’s h...
Dez Bryant To Handwringing Columnist: "You Are A Sucky Writer"
David Moore of the Dallas Morning News played Preseason Concern-Trolling Mad Libs today, filling in enough blanks to wring out a take on Dez Bryant, who’s conveniently been involved in two training camp fights.

It Should Be A Crime To Hold Your Fantasy Draft This Early
Kelvin Benjamin, the Panthers’ obscenely talented sophomore receiver (and quite possibly the Panthers’ only talented receiver), will miss the entire 2015 season with a torn ACL suffered in a freak, non-contact practice injury. This is bad for Carolina, and bad for Carolina’s fans, but who cares abou...

UFC fighter Anthony “Rumble” Johnson has an extensive history of domestic violence. This pleading no contest to putting his girlfriend in a headlock and dragging her up the stairs in 2010, and the mother of two of his children getting a restraining order after claiming that he knocked out two of her...
Madison Bumgarner Is The Giants' Best Pinch-Hitter
Madison Bumgarner threw an absolute gem Sunday night, flummoxing the Nationals for all nine innings while giving up only three hits and striking out 14. According to game score it was the sixth best starting pitching performance this season, but almost more impressive for the pitcher was his day at ...
