It's Opening Night, & Gregg Popovich Is Already Fed Up With Interviews

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....

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?

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

Hey, The Falcons And Lions Are Playing At 9:30 A.M. ET Sunday
Yeah, we did a post touching on Sunday's Lions-Falcons game in Wembley Stadium, but an informal poll showed that most of us didn't know it would air on the East Coast at 9:30 a.m. We thought it'd be at 1 p.m. like usual. Anyway, now you know. Double-check your fantasy team and start drinking earlier...
