Las Vegas NHL Team Is Going To Choose Some Bland-As-Hell Name

Billy Butler Beefs With Catcher, Crushes Huge Dong, Flips Bat
Last night, Oakland A’s DH Billy Butler spiced up a dull 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians by getting into an argument with catcher Chris Gimenez, taking a ball off the plate, socking a 442-foot tater, and then laying off an equally huge and authoritative bat flip. It was great....

O.J. Mayo received an at-least-two-year ban from the NBA today, for repeat violations of the league’s anti-drug program. This is not exactly important news for the NBA, because O.J. Mayo is busted and terrible and probably was on a plane to China when the decision was made anyway. However, it’s an o...
