Dez Bryant Trades Haymakers With Teammate At Training Camp

This training camp fight between Dez Bryant and Tyler Patmon is an ideal version of the form, I suppose. There’s a lot of bluster and some big punches thrown, but no actual damage done, so both parties get to walk away looking tough and cool....

The Royals And Blue Jays Hate Each Other And We're All Winners

So, here we go. The postseason series we’d get if there’s any justice in this world. Royals and Blue Jays, two newly resurgent franchises with big designs on October, and a sharp and abiding acrimony for each other that wasn’t satisfied by yesterday’s bench-clearing or name-calling....

American Pharoah Wins Again

Fast horse American Pharoah is still fast, as the Triple Crown winner walked away with another win—this time in the Haskell Invitational, claiming a winner’s share of the $1.75 million purse. Call us when he’s been entered into the Breeder’s Cup....

The David Foster Wallace Movie Gets Our Vision Of Him Right, At Least

The End of the Tour, a drama about a five-day interview/road trip that took place between novelist David Foster Wallace and Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky in 1996, has already received significant pushback from those closest to the late author, who committed suicide in 2008. Wallace’s estate an...

The First Photos Of Jason Pierre-Paul's Bandaged, Blown-Up Hand 

The Giants have no idea how many fingers Jason Pierre-Paul has left, and JPP hasn’t called to tell them. Reports earlier this month were that he’d lost his index finger, but that’s still unconfirmed. New photos from the NY Daily News don’t have hard evidence one way or another, but they make his han...

Truly I Say To You Today That Bono Is An Asswipe

At the intersection of all the annoying things a rock star can be—messianic, pretentious, vapid, dumb, old, creatively bankrupt, grandiose, utterly bereft of self-awareness, calcified into a grotesque oily wire-rack-in-the-grocery-store knockoff of himself, part of U2, et cetera—there sits Bono in h...

No Hops-Having Keeper Lets Pass Bounce Over His Head For An Own Goal

You had three options here, goalkeeper: 1) run out to the incoming back pass and meet it right after it bounces, 2) step back a few steps and take the ball off your chest after it took that towering though perfectly predictable skip off the turf, 3) loiter around in the box and find yourself standin...

Gilbert Arenas's LeBron Scouting Report Is Insane, But Also Perfect

Gilbert Arenas measured up as a rival to LeBron about as well as Ricky Davis did as a sidekick.

Report: The Mets Backed Out Of The Carlos Gomez Trade Because Of Money

After everyone finally got clear of the #LOLMets Twitter storm that whipped up around last night’s botched trade between the Mets and Brewers, we were given what seemed like a reasonable explanation for why the deal fell apart: the Mets were worried about Carlos Gomez’s bum hip. But a new report cla...
