Hatem Ben Arfa Is Straight Fooling On Dudes In France
This dribble is somehow even more ridiculous than the last time Hatem Ben Arfa popped onto our radar for doing something insane (in the good way, for once). If that little heel flick he did to get by the keeper wouldn’t have gotten cleared off the line, this would be an all-timer....
Rafa Benitez Couldn't Make Real Madrid What They Want To Be, So Now He's No More
It’s a pity that the wildly entertaining, back-and-forth, wide open 2-2 draw between Real Madrid and Valencia this weekend will be remembered more as Rafa Benítez’s Waterloo than as the thrilling spectacle it was in its own right. Real dominated the match for large stretches and, with a couple favor...
Report: Rafa Benítez Fired, Zinedine Zidane In As Real Madrid Manager

Ben Watson Gets Manchester City To Help Him With His Olímpico
Just a few days after Watford’s Ben Watson missed out on an Olímpico against Tottenham, he got his goal today (sort of) after bouncing it into Joe Hart’s goal off Aleksander Kolarov’s head. Watford lead 1-0 after an hour....
Christian Benteke Had Another Brutal Miss Today
Don’t click on the video just yet. Look at the image for a second. Christian Benteke, yards clear of any defender, strolls into the heart of the penalty box with only the keeper to beat. It was right about at that frame when, watching it live, I thought to myself, He’s definitely about to miss this....
Canadiens Goalie Ben Scrivens Saved By Magic Puck
The Montreal Canadiens lost 3-1 to the Florida Panthers last night, and the score would have been 4-1 if not for this strange bit of physics:...
Ben Simmons Did So Many Cool Dunks Tonight
The LSU Tigers lost tonight to Wake Forest in basketball while their football team was scoring a bunch on Texas Tech. The hoopin’ Tigers are 7-5, and don’t look like much of a threat to Kentucky for the SEC title, but for our purposes, that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that Ben Simmons, al...
Liverpool Storm Four Men On Open-Goal Fast Break, Still Don't Score
Liverpool beat Leicester City 1-0 at Anfield today, holding the league’s most surprising team scoreless for the first time all season. But it should have been a 2-0 victory, as a late open goal break somehow fell apart when Christian Benteke couldn’t find a net left vacant by Kasper Schmeichel. Schm...

So It Looks Like Rafa Benítez Is About To Get Fired Here Pretty Soon

Fresh off their humiliation at the hands of Barcelona last month, their humiliation at their own hands in the Copa del Rey a couple weeks ago, and their failure to keep pace with their two biggest rivals in the league by dropping points this past ...
Andy Dalton May Not Be Done
The Bengals have gotten relatively good news regarding QB Andy Dalton’s fractured right thumb: it won’t require surgery, so he’s not automatically out for the season. But Cincinnati won’t know when he’ll be ready until he is....
Cool, The Steelers And Bengals Hate Each Other
Pretty much everything went the Steelers’ way in yesterday’s 33-20 win over Cincinnati, a game that held both insult and injury for the Bengals. For the former, there was William Gay’s minute-long touchdown celebration, that continued up to and through an excessive-celebration flag. For the latter, ...

Steelers And Bengals Do Some Shoving At Midfield Before Game

CNN Makes Charles Barkley Talk Politics To Promote Debate; Chuck Trashes "Awful" CNN
CNN is the home of next week’s Republican debate, and tonight’s ever-encroaching instance of corporate synergy found Turner’s Charles Barkley being forced, hostage-proof-of-life style, to talk politics. And talk he did, slamming Donald Trump and trashing CNN—saying the network has “done an awful job...
Karim Benzema Suspended From France National Team Due To Sex Tape Scandal

These Are Fully Theo Epstein's Cubs Now
It still feels weird talking about the Cubs as a team trying to acquire the last few pieces for a championship run, rather than as one that needs to rebuild from the ground up, but that’s where we are: with the reigning Cy Young winner and some of the best young hitters in the game, Chicago doesn’t ...
Karim Benzema's Explanation For Role In Sex Tape Blackmail Plot Sounds Like Total Bullshit
When we last checked in on the most insane scandal going on in sports, the big news was that a transcript of a phone call between Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and a good friend of his strongly suggested 1) that the good friend was trying to blackmail Lyon midfielder Mathieu Valbuena over a sex ...
Ben Roethlisberger's Trying Really Hard To Pretend He Doesn't Have A Concussion
Ben Roethlisberger is a resilient guy who will generally try to play through just about any injury, but his brain bouncing off the inside of his skull is a bridge too far.
