Vivek Ranadivé Deflects Almost All Blame For The Kings' Problems In Surreal Interview
The Sacramento Kings have been hilariously incompetent for a long while now, but especially since Vivek Ranadivé and a group of investors bought them three and a half years ago. They have shuffled through front office decision-makers (Pete D’Alessandro, Chris Mullin, Dean Oliver) and coaches (Keith ...

Mike McCoy Is Running Out Of Ways To Lose
Let it never be said that the Chargers lose boring. Dating back to the start of last season, 13 of San Diego’s 16 losses have come by a single score.

Western New York Win NWSL Championship In A Shootout After Stoppage Time Equalizer
The Western New York Flash defeated the Washington Spirit in a shootout to win the NWSL title. The Spirit took the lead early into extra time, with Crystal Dunn scoring in the 92nd minute, her second of the night. But Western New York’s Lynn Williams headed in a Jessica McDonald cross four minutes i...
Chargers Line Up For Game-Tying Field Goal, Crap Themselves
The Chargers squandered an eight-point advantage in the second half and allowed the Raiders to claw back and take a 34-31 lead late in the fourth. No worries, however; San Diego had an opportunity to tie the game with a field goal. Surely nothing disastrous could happen on an attainable, 36-yard att...
The Dodgers Were Completely Hapless With The Bases Loaded Sunday

What In The Hell Happened To Roman Britain?
Part of our shared culture is a basic, generally unspoken assumption that things are supposed to get better. Oppressed groups will have more rights in a few years than they have now. The economy overall will grow, even if an individual’s share might not. We’ll have cooler and more useful gadgets as ...
Washington Gets First Punt Return Touchdown Since 2008, Misses Extra Point
Washington wide receiver Jamison Crowder scored a touchdown after an 85-yard punt return against the Ravens, but naturally, the team couldn’t pull off a dazzling highlight without screwing something up....
The Washington Post is reporting that NBC News had the recently-leaked footage of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault four days before the tape was released. But NBC was holding onto the footage while lawyers finished reviewing it—meaning that they were scooped by the Post, who vetted the sto...
University Professor Arrested For Yelling "Fuck You" At Arkansas Coach
Shortly after No. 16 Arkansas’s 49-30 loss to No. 1 Alabama was official Saturday night, a fan decided to make his displeasure with head coach Bret Bielema known—allegedly opting for shouting the simple and direct, “If I had your record, I’d be fucking fired. Fuck you.”...
Baseball Players Get Really Deep When Their Teams Are Down 0-2<em></em>
Three of the four MLB division series have one team in an 0-2 hole. This isn’t a great spot to be in a best-of-five series, but it’s a very great spot for hearing the emptiest and most hackneyed postgame platitudes that athlete speak has to offer. Some highlights from this weekend, grouped by team s...
Pinch-Hitter Madison Bumgarner Ends Up On Second In The Weirdest Way
With the Giants already down 1-0 in the NLDS, Jeff Samardzija was rightly yanked after just two innings tonight, having given up four runs on six hits....
Tennessee's Magic Only Goes So Far
Tennessee almost followed up last week’s Hail Mary-fueled victory by overcoming a three-touchdown second-half deficit in order to defeat Texas A&M in double overtime. “Almost” is the operative word there. The Vols fell behind early and stayed that way for most of the game, hitting a low point by tra...
Tennessee Forces Overtime With Improbable Comeback
This season’s cardiac kids performed magic in College Station again today as Tennessee forced overtime against Texas A & M thanks to forcing a fumble on what could have been a game-sealing play, marching 80 yards for a touchdown in just over a minute, then—we’re guessing here—using mind control to f...
