Bless This Oafish Koch Heir And His Hideous Shirts

Because it is so cruel and so stupid, so petty and also so astonishingly vast, it is difficult to fully get a handle on the $1.5 trillion tax bill that the Republicans pushed through the House and Senate on Wednesday. A disconcerting number of little fees and insults in the bill are only now becomin...

Uh Huh

$13 Billion Industry Uses Folded-Up Piece Of Paper To Determine Outcomes

The Cowboys earned a first down tonight in a play so ridiculous it made the Steelers’ loss look positively pedestrian.

The NFL’s Concussion Protocol Can Work, But Only If It’s Enforced<em></em>

What you see above is Texans quarterback Tom Savage experiencing what’s known as the fencing response after getting his head slammed into the ground, as obvious a sign of a brain injury as there can be.

Argentine Soccer Club Suspended A Year And Relegated After Savagely Beating Three Referees

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports has repor...

And Now For Some Stupidly Bad Defense From Karl-Anthony Towns

Joel Embiid is talented and charming and big, a combination of qualities which can reasonably be quite daunting in anyone, but especially so in a basketball player. Karl-Anthony Towns’s strategy for handling all that during the second quarter tonight was just to panic-jump, arms outstretched, at a r...

Quinton Jefferson Restrained From Fighting Bad Jags Fan

Seahawks tempers were running hot when their loss to the Jaguars was all but over, and a dust-up with the Jags in victory formation led to an unsportsmanlike conduct ejection for Seattle’s Quinton Jefferson.

The Army-Navy Game Is A Tradition Living On Borrowed Time

In the fall of 1893, Joseph Reeves got some bad news. A midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, he also played for the school’s football team, busting wedges and butting heads as an undersized lineman whose nicknames—“billy goat” and “bull”—aptly described his on-field style....

Steelers' Mike Mitchell Rails At The NFL's Inconsistency On Suspensions For Hits
