Massive Brawl Breaks Out At High School Football Game In Texas
A huge melee broke out at last night’s game between conference rivals Westfield and Spring, in Spring, Tx.

Book Claims Louisville Provided Basketball Players And Recruits With Escorts
Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports has gotten his hands on a copy of a book written by self-described madame Katina Powell and journalist Dick Cady.

The Beer Idiot Hits The Hard Stuff: Tales From The Nashville Whiskey Festival
The strangest person you can possibly encounter at a whiskey convention is someone who doesn’t like whiskey very much. Anecdotally speaking, it is also unusual to be a woman or black—the attendees of the Nashville Whiskey Festival, which I attended a couple weeks ago, made me worried that I’d wander...
Tell Us About Your Bad Tattoos
Oh, you have a tribal band around your bicep? I can tell you were cool in 1997. Maybe it’s a butterfly on the small of your back or a shamrock on your foot to celebrate your shred of Irish heritage. They might call up feelings of regret, but bad tattoos are nothing if not stories to tell. So tell us...
Kevin Durant Says Stephen A. Smith Is A Big Fat Liar
Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to saying wild shit on TV, but it’s always more fun when he tries to add some legitimacy to his takes with his insider credentials.

<i>The Bank Job</i> Is A Great Jason Statham Flick, Even Though He Hardly Kicks Anybody
The Bank Job is a movie that stars Jason Statham, but it’s not a Jason Statham movie. The chief attributes of his persona, as established in a long line of mostly-pretty-great action B-movies (like, say, this one or this one), are just not there. We don’t get the cold-eyed and square-jawed stare, or...

Max Scherzer Pretends To Choke Bryce Harper
The Washington Nationals, the saddest and most dysfunctional team in the league, are somehow still playing baseball games. I kind of assumed that everyone had already packed up their shit and gone home for the winter, but nope! They’re still out there, pitchin’ and hittin’ and catchin’. At least Max...
Kevin Kiermaier Delivers 100 MPH Fastball From Center Field To Nail Runner
You don’t need MLB’s Statcast to understand that this is a great throw from Rays’ center fielder Kevin Kiermaier; that much is apparent by the ease with which he throws out the foolish runner. But it is pretty cool to see that his throw clocked in at 100.4 MPH—a speed that only a dozen or so pitcher...
It Doesn't Sound Like Flip Saunders's Fight Against Cancer Is Going Well

Watch The Mets Celebrate Clinching Through The Camera On Michael Conforto's Head

How To Be A Gracious And Fun Wedding Date
Fifteen years ago, signing up to be someone’s wedding date might have only meant giving up a couple of hours of your life.
