Baseball Team Cruelly Loses Game Eight Innings After Celebrating Championship

Robert Griffin III And Santana Moss Are Sniping About Mike Shanahan's Firing
Former Washington wide receiver Santana Moss, who retired in 2014, went on 106.7 The Fan in Washington D.C. yesterday morning and dredged up some good gossip from the early-2010s Skins teams.

Josh Donaldson Wants You To Know: This Wasn’t A Catch
It was a pretty good night for Nick Pivetta. Despite giving up back-to-back homers to open last night’s game against the Dodgers, the pitcher with an ERA approaching 7 didn’t allow any more runs and ended up getting the win against Clayton Kershaw, thanks to an Aaron Altherr hit a grand slam in the ...
No Justice For Good Boys
“WHORE the ramparts, weeee watched...” Some lady was singing the national anthem. “WHORE the lan-nnddd of the freeee...” We don’t care about that. We don’t care about any of that. We only want the Grade-A violence, now. ...
The Matt Harvey Situation Is So Damn Sad
To look at Matt Harvey’s year is to see everything that could be and has been wrong with the Mets rotation lately: bad luck and bad health, managed rather poorly, resulting in bad pitching when there is any pitching at all. Individually, each of these factors typically gets reduced to a dumb punchli...
Washington Ends Su'a Cravens's Season Before He Gets A Chance To Show Up
Roughly two weeks ago, Washington safety Su’a Cravens abruptly told management that he planned to retire from the NFL. He didn’t say why, but the team apparently convinced him to change his mind for a little while and placed him on the exempt/left squad list, which would give him a month to decide w...
Carlos Carrasco And Trevor Bauer's Baseball Versions Of Their Cleveland Teammates, Ranked
A little more than three months ago, Cleveland pitcher Carlos Carrasco revealed some breathtaking artistic skill in the dugout as he transformed an ordinary baseball into a remarkable sculpture of José Ramírez. (With the help of some of his rotation mates, of course.)...

Ken Zampese’s 18-game tenure as Bengals offensive coordinator effectively ended late Thursday night, when star wide receiver A.J. Green went off about the unit’s rather staggering ineptitude so far this season....

Avatar Of Discontent Turns Out To Be Mets Fan
The Yankees have adopted the thumbs-down as a tool of positive reinforcement, ever since an unhappy man in the stands gave the gesture to Todd Frazier’s homer in last Monday’s game against the Rays. As it happens, the fan responsible for the gesture loves the other team in New York....
The Shovel Pass To Travis Kelce Is A Cheat Code
Two weeks into the season, the Kansas City Chiefs have the most entertaining offense in the league. They shoved 42 points right into the Patriots’ faces by using a read-option scheme, letting Alex Smith sling it, and deploying rookie running back Kareem Hunt like prime-era LaDainian Tomlinson. Yeste...
Ezekiel Elliott Quit On A Play And Some People Are Aghast
The Broncos manhandled the Cowboys 42-17, just a thorough annihilation in every aspect of the game. But almost immediately, most of the blame for the loss—or at least the loudest of the criticism—fell upon Ezekiel Elliott, who had the worst game of his life....

Matthew Boyd took a no-hitter into the top of the ninth today against the Chicago White Sox, with the Tigers winning 12-0. Boyd had allowed one base-runner all day, on a third inning walk. Adam Engel led off the bottom of the ninth with a pop out to third; Kevan Smith, hitting for Rob Brantly, groun...

Remember Ryan Vogelsong?...
Kareem Hunt Is Still Fast
Rookie sensation and Patriot-defeater Kareem Hunt didn’t have a blisteringly fast start to his second career game today, but luckily, he’s got some pretty good acceleration. In the third quarter against the Eagles, Hunt sliced through the Philly defense and made himself impossible to catch, giving K...
