Gronk, On Asian Fan: "They Told Me He Could Only Cook Fried Rice"

Chart: How The Braves' Atlanta Exodus Compares With Other MLB Moves
Earlier today, the Braves announced that they'll be leaving Turner Field in favor of a new stadium in Cobb County, north of Atlanta.

Cobb County Taxpayers Won't Get A Say On Funding The Braves' Stadium
Funny thing, this: A new Braves stadium in Cobb County was announced as basically a done deal, without mentioning how much public money would go toward it, or asking taxpayers for their approval. The answer to the former is apparently "a lot." As for the latter: those taxpayers won't get a say....
An Emotional Shannon Sharpe Rips The Dolphins Locker Room
On CBS's pregame show, Shannon Sharpe had some very strong words for the Dolphins, less about their handling of the Incognito-Martin fallout, and more about a locker room that let things get to the point where a white player can call a teammate a "half-nigger" and it's supposed to be taken in good h...
Florida State Running Back Demonstrates How To Run Over A Defender

"That Moment Before It Starts When You're Scared": Tyson In His Prime
Before he became the main attraction at the freak show, and before he became a kitsch icon, Mike Tyson was the youngest heavyweight champion in history, and a fighter of seemingly limitless promise.

Tex
I come from a bookish family but didn't much like reading as a kid. Then in middle school, like so many other kids, I tore through S.E. Hinton's four novels. Later, I saw all of the movie adaptations, but the one I like most was the first one, Tex....
