The Denver Broncos Are Now Living In A World Of Piss
The Denver Broncos are one of three 0-4 NFL teams (assuming no tie, there should be one more after Bengals-Steelers tonight), and they’ve achieved that record thanks to generous helpings of incompetence and rotten luck. Also, they’ll now have to ride out the rest of this season without one of their ...
Bruce Bochy's Retirement Ceremony Was—Holy Shit, It's Tim Lincecum!
The final game of the San Francisco Giants’ season was the final game of manager Bruce Bochy’s career.

You Probably Shouldn't Be Able To Strangle A Guy On A Football Field
On Sunday, the Browns finally looked like the team everyone hoped they would be in 2019, beating the Ravens 40-25 while putting up 530 total yards of offense. Even more impressive is that they were able to do all that without much of a contribution from Odell Beckham Jr., who finished the game with ...
Nick Chubb Pantsed The Ravens' Defense And Shoved Them Into A Puddle
A quiet reality of this season’s Ravens roster was that the defense had lost significant pieces that would be quite hard to replace, regardless of how they drafted or approached free agency with finding replacements in mind. The reason behind the low volume on that issue had a lot to do with Baltimo...
Sean McDermott Had To Chase Bill Belichick's Son Off The Field During Bills Warm-Ups
The Patriots stay Patriotsing.

Lorenzo Cain Put On A Damn Show, Bad Leg And All<i></i><i></i>

Texas Tech's Eli Howard On His Dangerous Hit: I'm Sorry To My Coach, My Athletic Director, Oh, And Also The Guy I Injured
With just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter of Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Red Raiders defensive lineman Eli Howard V delivered a dangerous low hit to Sooners running back Kennedy Brooks on a return. While the hit would have been considered to be dirty regardless of the context, it was made signifi...
Maddeningly Slow Golfer Says He Has Evidence To Prove He Isn't Slow, But Can't Share It
Bryson DeChambeau has long been considered one of the slowest pros on the PGA Tour. In August, after taking over two minutes to hit a simple eight-foot putt (which he missed, badly) and a 70-foot approach wedge at the Northern Trust, he drew the ire of golf fans and fellow players, including No. 1 B...
Brandon Graham Shows His Enemy's Face To His Mother, Who Surely Shall Taste Sweet Vengeance
Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham made one of the more impressive, albeit statistically unrecognized, plays to thwart the first of Green Bay’s two important fourth-quarter red-zone drives Thursday night. On second-and-goal from the one-yard line, Graham sniffed out a play-action bootleg play, cut ...
This Guy Truly Has No Idea What He's Talking About
It is a problem for President Donald Trump that it’s often impossible to tell what the hell he’s talking about. This is not one of those signature Trump defects that can readily be spun into a secret strength or as a subtle bit of advanced dealcraft that only experts and initiates can appreciate. H...
Second Player Of The Night Stretchered Off Following Brutal On-Field Collision
Thursday night’s Eagles road win over the Packers was bookended by a pair of scary head injuries suffered by players who’d eventually be strapped to backboards and stretchered off the field.

Jamaal Williams Taken Off On Stretcher Following Brutal Late Hit From Derek Barnett
On the Packers’ first play of the game, Aaron Rodgers completed a pass to running back Jamaal Williams. After a group of Eagles defenders stood him up on what appeared to be a pass for no gain, Derek Barnett made his way over to the group of bodies and charged at Williams to make an entirely unneces...
Report: Robert Kraft And Bill Belichick Disagreed On Whether To Cut Antonio Brown
No one on the Patriots wants to talk about Antonio Brown’s brief stay, which was cut short following a handful of reports detailing multiple sexual assault accusations. Bill Belichick has mostly dodged questions about the matter, and Tom Brady talked about how we live in a society. While it’s been r...
We Have A Wet Bag Problem, And We're Going To Look Into It
There is nothing funny about lower-body injuries in baseball. Upper body injuries, sure—a “strained oblique” sounds just vague enough to get an eye-roll, and Mets-scented mystery injuries like the Out With An Entire Left Side Of Body ailment that sidelined prized Mets free agent Jed Lowrie for virtu...
Some Pitchers You Probably Forgot About Are Carrying The Brewers To The Postseason
Reigning MVP Christian Yelich was lost for the season after taking a foul ball to the knee two weeks ago, but the Milwaukee Brewers didn’t collapse in their quest to make the playoffs for the second year in a row. To the contrary, they shook off the loss of their best player and surged down the stre...

Find Something You Can Enjoy As Much As Brian Dozier Enjoys Twerking While Soaked In Budweiser
The Nationals clinched a National League Wild Card berth Tuesday, via a doubleheader sweep of the Phillies. It’s not exactly a towering accomplishment—it earns them one do-or-die game and nothing more—but it’s worth remembering that the Nationals were at one point 19–31 on the season and looking tot...
Even In Defeat, Bryce Harper Owns The Hell Out Of Hunter Strickland

NFL Rules Are Just Suggestions
Tom Brady was watching Titans-Jaguars Thursday night and, like every other person with functional eyes, did not enjoy the experience. Only he overcame his revulsion and fear of being found out, tweeting about it and saying all the holding penalties were ruining his fun....
