Rockies Turn Just About The Easiest Triple Play You'll Ever See
Triple plays are incredibly difficult to pull off. There needs to be at least two runners on base with no outs, a ball hit to precisely the right spot, and flawless execution from the fielders. Normally they occur about five times per season. ...

Black Jesus is dead....
The Royals Have Chickenpox
Two Royals players have been infected with chickenpox and have been quarantined, and the team is monitoring other potentially at-risk players. It’s sort of funny—it’s the last thing you’d expect a ballplayer to miss extended time for—but it can seriously affect adults, and with the playoffs a month ...
The Six Best Teacher Gimmicks
Before we get to the Funbag, I gotta talk about how shitty this Will Smith concussion movie looks. I swear it got made strictly because Will Smith wanted to try out a new accent. It looks like 120 minutes of people warning Accent Will Smith about stuff....
Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Dallas Cowboys

Rob Manfred Kicks Shoeless Joe Jackson Back Into The Grave
The appointment of a new MLB commissioner is always a good time for certain special interest groups—spitball enthusiasts, Montreal baseball fans, Pete Rose truthers—to begin seeking favors. “Maybe,” they think, “the new commissioner will be more reasonable than the last!” This is presumably why the ...
Nice Going, Shane. Look What You Did. Do You Have Any Idea How Much This Is Gonna Cost?
Great, Shane. This is just fucking great....
RGIII Denies Liking Anti-Skins Instagram Post, Blames Intern
Good lord, that’s a silly headline. It’s a silly story. But it’s been a silly three years, and there’s something microcosmic about the last 24 hours in Robert Griffin III’s preternatural inability to have a single thing go right or painlessly. Yesterday it was about losing his job. Now it’s about cl...
DeAndre Jordan Drops Agent Who Maybe Sorta Pushed Him To Sign With Mavs
Hey, remember all that shit with DeAndre Jordan back in July? No? Let me briefly remind you....
Are The Red Sox Confiscating Signs Supporting Don Orsillo Or Not?

Meet The Owner Of Track's Most Brutal Event
Here’s Kenyan steeplechaser Ezekiel Kemboi after winning that 3,000-meter barrier-and-pond race at the Track and Field World Championships in Beijing. This was his seventh gold or silver World Championship performance. He’s got two Olympic golds at home in the drawer, stacks of others too, and, wond...
Kevin Kiermaier Gets Way The Hell Up To Rob A Homer
Manny Machado can be forgiven for believing he had a sure thing leadoff home run, but Kevin Kiermaier’s Vince Carter-like ups and impeccable timing insisted otherwise....
Tyga, We Get It
Tyga has a new video for his song “Stimulated,” featuring his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, who up until three weeks ago was 17. The song is an ode to the fact that the youngest Kardashian is barely legal and too young for the 25-year-old rapper. It’s the anthem of a predator. We get it. Enough already....
Eras To Live In, Ranked
The past was awful. It was a time of choleric ignoramuses flopping around in their own shit and killing each other for entertainment. I feel bad for everyone who lived before today....
Jeremy Guthrie Is Trying To Put Ballboys Out Of Work
Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was relaxing in the bullpen over the weekend series with the Rays, so he started a competition with one of the Tampa Bay ballboys to see who could wrangle more foul balls. The ballboy won two out of three, but Guthrie hustled in Sunday’s game....
Kirk Cousins Named Starter Over Robert Griffin III
We were all expecting Kirk Cousins to be named Washington’s Week 1 starter, because there’s no guarantee Robert Griffin III will pass his concussion tests by then. But coach Jay Gruden made the announcement today: Cousins is the man for 2015, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Griffin’s health...
The Cubs Celebrated Jake Arrieta's No-Hitter With A Pajama Party
Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta ended his no-hitter against the Dodgers last night in the most badass way possible. First, he struck out the side in the ninth inning, putting Justin Turner, Jimmy Rollins, and Chase Utley away with a nasty combination of fastballs and sliders:...
Fantasy Football Loser Forced To Take Walk Of Shame
Reader Thomas sent along these photos, taken during Friday’s evening rush hour in Minneapolis. Without knowing anything else, I’d say someone finished last in their fantasy league last season....
Look Away From Dan Snyder's Mess, Nothing To See Here
If there’s one thing the Skins are good at (and there may be just the one), it’s leaking to the media. After an ESPN report had owner Dan Snyder clashing with his football people on the future of Robert Griffin III, it took mere hours for sources to run to both local and national reporters and insis...
