Boxer Throws A Whole Dang Table At Opponent During Press Conference
I’ll watch any press conference involving British boxers, because I am always delighted by the shit they talk. One guy will be like, “Oi, bruv, you must have me mistaken!” and then the other guy will be like, “Don’t make me knock your block off right here, mate!” This particular press conference, fe...
Kickboxer Who May Actually Be Captain Falcon Ends Fight With Flying Knee Strike
If you played as Captain Falcon in Super Smash Bros, you could K.O. opponents with a wild jumping knee strike lovingly dubbed the “knee of justice.” I never thought I’d see someone pull it off in real life, but here we are....
Of Course Andrew Bogut Has Bad Pizzagate Takes
A certain subset of the dumbest people alive are riled up over an unbelievably specious conspiracy theory that posits Hillary Clinton and her associates are secretly running a pedophilia and child trafficking ring out of the basement of Comet Ping Pong, a pizza joint in Washington D.C. It’s known as...
Novak Djokovic Parts Ways With Coach Boris Becker
Novak Djokovic, who had what you could call an “off-year,” if only by his obscenely high standards, split up today with coach and six-time Grand Slam winner Boris Becker. In the three years that he worked with the German, Djokovic tightened his chokehold on the entire men’s field, only slackening hi...

Powerful Republican Hates You
Even a cursory examination of the facts makes it impossible to reach any conclusion other than that the Republican Party takes inordinate pleasure in making your life worse. Take Virginia Foxx, for example. ...
It's Bryce Petty Time
The New York Jets still have four games left to play, but last night’s no-show against the Colts was an effective and fitting end to their season. The Jets are 3-9 now, and whatever combination of luck and competence that got them to a 10-6 record last season is nowhere to be found....
Bomani Jones Treats Us To A Litany Of Atlanta Falcons Failure<em></em>
The Falcons lost to the Chiefs yesterday thanks to a rock-dumb two-point play that they had no need to take. Falcons fan Bomani Jones went off on the team this afternoon on Highly Questionable and made a pretty convincing case that the Falcons are cursed losers who exist to torture their fans. In ca...
What The Hell Is <i>Westworld</i> Gonna Do Next Season?
Television’s best show about murderous sex robots, HBO’s Westworld, wrapped up its debut season last night in the way most prestige TV shows do. Characters died, twists were revealed, and the season ended on a somewhat ambiguous note....
Behold Everything Beautiful And Ugly About DeMarcus Cousins
The Knicks and the Kings played last night at Madison Square Garden, and at least for those of us who live in New York, it was a far more entertaining spectacle than the shit-ass game between the Giants and Steelers that it overlapped with for most of the early evening. The Knicks were victorious a...

When Did You Figure Out <i>Westworld's</i> Big Twist?
The most fun I had watching the first season of HBO’s Westworld, a show about a theme park full of murderous robots owned by an angry gamer, occurred during last night’s finale. Spoilers ahead, for anyone who has watched fewer than three episodes of this show and also doesn’t have an internet connec...

Hope Is Wearing Thin For The Vikings
Seemingly ages ago, the Minnesota Vikings were 5-0, sported the best defense in the league, and got a shocking amount of production from an offense led by the surprisingly competent Sam Bradford. Now the team’s 6-6 and losing ground in the playoff hunt, and Thursday night’s loss to the Cowboys offer...
Officials Missed A Huge Blow To Sam Bradford's Head On Game-Deciding Play
The Minnesota Vikings held Dak Prescott to his fewest yards passing in an NFL game and staged a late comeback against the Dallas Cowboys tonight, but they came up short on a late two-point conversion and lost, 17-15. After hitting Jerick McKinnon for a touchdown pass, Sam Bradford airmailed his two-...

Russell Westbrook On Rebounding Prowess: "I Just Be Chilling There, Act Like I'm Not Doing Nothing"
Russell Westbrook can go from stationary to licking the backboard in the span of one or two nonchalant steps. He’s just standing there, and then something unseen explodes, and the ball’s in his clutches. Aside from making him, at 6-foot-3, one of the best rebounding guards of all time, this tireless...
