Gennady Golovkin Wins Again With A Devastating Knockout Punch
Marco Antonio Rubio only lasted to the second round before being eliminated by a brutal left from Gennady Golovkin. We're used to seeing this sort of waste being laid by GGG, but will anyone step up to present a real challenge to the Scariest Man Alive?...
Ebola May Force The Africa Cup Of Nations Host To Be Decided By Lottery
The Africa Cup of Nations, the biannual tournament to crown the continent's top soccer country, is scheduled to kick off in three months.

Justin Bieber's Latest Boxing Highlight Is A Sad Sham
Justin Bieber is bad at a lot of things, like singing and dancing and writing lyrics and dressing and soliciting prostitutes and driving and basketball and other things, too. For some, reason, though, boxer Floyd Mayweather, a very bad, 37-year-old man, has decided to befriend this child, and even...
Bruce Bochy Was The Anti-Matheny, And It Made All The Difference
If you're looking for an argument that having a smart manager in the dugout is integral to a baseball team's success, last night's Cardinals-Giants game is it. Not only did it feature Mike Matheny badly managing his club right into a walk-off homer, it had the manager on the other side of the field,...
How The Cowboys Have Made The Most Out Of Ex-Bust Rolando McClain
Remember Rolando McClain? The star Alabama linebacker the Raiders took with their first pick in 2010, hailed as a surprisingly wise move by then-owner Al Davis?

Giants Brief Players On Ebola Before Trip To Dallas

God Can't Save You From Ebola, But This Song Might
Not too long ago, I spent six months living in Dallas. I found it to be a horrid place full of old-school, overt racists and liberal champions who threaten to fuck young journalists in the ass. That said, I have a contingent of homies there that I love with all my heart. I enjoy waking up, poppin...
Lululemon's Buffalo Store Taunts Fans With "Wide Right/No Goal"
Being a Buffalo sports fan can be pretty depressing. The Bills are, at best, mediocre and remain the only franchise to lose four Super Bowls in a row while winning zero. The Sabres offer little relief, having also won zero championships and promising to be one of the worst teams in the NHL this seas...
NPR: Ebola Might Make Chocolate Expensive (While Killing Lots Of People)
Yeesh. Lotta scary Ebola news these days. Between the situation in Africa seemingly spiraling beyond anyone's control, a botched containment job at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, and exposed people breaking quarantine to go strolling around New Jersey, presumably barfing Ebola blood on school...
Mayor Of London Hacks Down Little Boy In Pick-Up Soccer Match

Cowboys RB Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Cologne And Underwear

Now, we've got this posthumous treat: The Getaway Car: A Donald Westlake Nonfiction Miscellany, published by the University of Chicago Press and edited by Levi Stahl. The book is a ton of fun.

Terrance Williams's Catch Was Great, But Tony Romo's Throw Was Better
The best and most important play on Sunday was Tony Romo's hookup with Terrance Williams on a third-and-20, keeping alive a fourth-quarter drive that would end in the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown against the Seahawks. There had been 55 third-and-at-least-20s to that point in the season, according to ...
