Humorless Butthole Roger Goodell Concludes That Fun Is Good<em></em>
Good news for you, valued NFL customer! After a string of long, pizza-less nights, and after a handful of forced interrogations with acceptably polite NFL players, and after Jerry Jones probably ordered him around for a bit, commissioner Roger Goodell would like you to know that the league has decid...
The Boston Celtics Have A Moral Obligation To Get The Fuck Out
The conference finals have been crud. In the West, what should have been the Golden State Warriors’ first true test became a joyless, perfunctory mercy-killing a little over halfway through Game 1, thanks to a goon doofus’s misplaced foot. In the East, meanwhile, what should have been a deliciously ...
Zack Greinke Is Back To Humiliating Men At The Plate<em></em>
There’s no player in baseball—and maybe all of sports—quite like Zack Greinke. The man is a machine: efficient on the field, serious and direct off it, and constantly experimenting.

White Sox Announcers Have Inane Conversation
Chicago White Sox announcer Steve Stone has been one of the best color men in baseball for decades, and for half the year—the half he spends calling Sox home games with Jason Benetti—he remains one.

Steph Curry Calls Out Dewayne Dedmon For "Dirty Play"

The NBA's Push For Parity Backfired With These Garbage Playoffs
The NBA playoffs, in theory if not always in practice, is the best postseason system in all of sports. After a bloated and distended regular season, the playoffs come around and pit the great teams against the merely good ones, the former whittling down the latter until all that’s left is the very b...

The Celtics Won The Game
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, a game I definitely watched, was one for the ages. Due to the absence of Isaiah Thomas and the fact that the first two games of the series were huge blowouts, some basketball fans may have ignored the game and spent last night doing laundry and watching old e...
Team Celebrates Euroleague Title By Chopping Off Player's Man Bun
Fenerbahçe defeated Olympiacos to capture their first Euroleague title today, and the team opted for a celebration a little more cutting-edge than simply taking down the net.
