You Probably Won't See Ben Simmons Play This Season
The Philadelphia 76ers confirmed this afternoon that Ben Simmons’s foot injury was a Jones fracture. This was the most-feared scenario for the rookie, not only because the history of big men with foot problems is not full of happy endings, but because a Jones fracture in particular is a tricky injur...
I Can't Stop Watching Luisão Completely Disrupt This Wall<em></em><em></em>

Ben Simmons Fractures A Bone In His Foot

Woof, Ryan Tannehill
I will come clean and admit that there was a time, not even two years ago, when I thought Ryan Tannehill was going to be a very good NFL quarterback. I have submitted my resignation to Tim Marchman, and will step down as a sports writer-abouter if it’s accepted....
A.J. Green Will Catch Anything You Throw At Him
For a good chunk of tonight’s game against the Miami Dolphins, Bengals star A.J. Green had more receiving yards than the Dolphins had total yards. Were it not for a flukey touchdown on Miami’s first possession of the game, his 173 receiving yards would have outpaced them. Green has made the Pro Bowl...
I Can't Tell If I Like Or Hate This DeAngelo Williams Quote
The Steelers-Bengals rematch from that brawl of a wild card game is this Sunday—and as Drew wrote, the NFL is dumb as hell for scheduling it for before Vontaze Burfict returns from suspension—and Pittsburgh running back DeAngelo Williams sounds ready as hell. Check this quote:...
Ben Cherington Is Back In Baseball As Not-A-GM For The Blue Jays

The Jets Dragged Andy Dalton All Over The Field And Still Couldn't Win
By the end of today’s game, Andy Dalton and the turf were close pals. The New York Jets’ defense sacked the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback seven times, the most in one game in Dalton’s career. Despite that, he still tore up the opposing coverage as the Bengals won, 23-22....
Christian Benteke Probably Made Crystal Palace Sign His Little Brother, Who Sucks
It’s often difficult for small teams to convince players at big clubs making big bucks to forgo the glory and riches of the game’s destination clubs in favor of being the star at the little team, even when said player has found himself latched to the big team’s bench. Thus small clubs must pull out ...
Ben Carson Abandons Live Interview To Chase After His Luggage
Ben Carson took Donald Trump to his childhood home in Detroit today—one now occupied by a Hillary Clinton supporter—but his live interview on CNN came to a halt when the former presidential candidate had to go chasing after his luggage. We don’t know what’s in Carson’s suitcases; perhaps his dignit...
Why Your Team Sucks 2016: Cincinnati Bengals<em></em>

Andrew Benintendi May Have Just Made The Catch Of The Season
David Price pitched a gem for the Red Sox this evening, striking out eight men and only giving up two hits in eight innings of work. His night would have been a lot less spectacular, had Andrew Benintendi not flown across the outfield to leap up on top of the wall to rob Steven Souza of a dinger....

Brazilian police cast doubt on Lochte’s story, and earlier to...
