Bree Horrocks Is Ready To Play Her Game
Panel discussions like the one that Bree Horrocks took part in at Purdue University in spring of 2015 tend not to make national news; they may not even make the school paper. For Horrocks, it was a different story. By participating in the Purdue LGBTQ Center’s panel on inclusion in sports, Horrocks ...
Tony Pulis Has Once Again Lost His Job For Being Too Good At It
When Tony Pulis was named West Brom manager back in January of 2015, the club gave him a single task—one he’s demonstrated for years to be better at accomplishing than practically anyone in English soccer: keep the team in the Premier League, and make sure they stay there. In his just about three ye...
The Broncos Are A Mess
The Broncos started the season 3-1 and looked decent while doing it. But Week 6, after the bye week, brought an embarrassing loss to the Giants, and things have somehow gotten worse since then. Yesterday’s 20-17 loss to the Bengals has them at 3-7 and in last place in the AFC West....
Penn Coach Sorry For Costing Fans A Shot At Free Cheesesteaks, Vows Future Culinary Satisfaction
The University of Pennsylvania Quakers men’s basketball team took on Penn State Brandywine at the Palestra on Saturday, and I was in attendance.

Drew Brees Led A Truly Improbable Comeback
Drew Brees and the ascendent New Orleans Saints were having a decidedly “meh” game for most of the day against Washington. They weren’t getting completely destroyed, but with a little over four minutes to go, with Washington up 15, it seemed safe to just call this an off day for New Orleans....

Donald Trump Wishes He'd Left UCLA Teens In Chinese Prison Because His Feelings Are Hurt

LaVar Ball Burns President Trump For Supposed Intervention In China
LiAngelo Ball and two other UCLA freshmen shoplifted some expensive sunglasses while in Hangzhou, and were arrested for it.

UFC Moron Gets Hit With A Boomerang After Calling Brazilians "Filthy Animals" [Update]
UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington has fashioned himself as a heel, although unlike, say, fellow heel Michael Bisping, Covington’s idea of a good troll is to just call the champ in his division a scared girl until he agrees to fight him. He’s also into shitting on Brazilian fighters and call...

Pizza Has Opinions On NFL Player Protests, Nazis
If you were, for some reason, left hungering for more after the latest installment of the NFL’s unbelievably dumb pizza drama—remember Papa John claiming that revenue was down due to football players protesting during the national anthem, followed by speculation that he’d been put up to it by none o...
NCAA Rules Braxton Beverly Immediately Eligible To Play For NC State

LiAngelo Ball And Fellow UCLA Shoplifters Are Coming Home
After just under a week of speculation of how the legal process would play out for a trio of UCLA freshmen caught shoplifting in China, LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill are on their way back to America.

Enes Kanter, After Getting Punked: "Nobody Out There Gonna Punk Us"
There was nothing wrong with the Knicks getting all riled up over LeBron James’s assertion that the team would have been better off drafting Dennis Smith Jr. over Frank Ntilikina.
