John Gibson's Glove Save Was So Good, It Fooled Whoever Operates The Goal Horn
There’s a weird tic of hockey writers where every great save has to be framed as a “save of the year candidate.” I do this too. Was tempted to do it here. Why?

Old Guy Who Called Mayweather-McGregor A "Farce" Changes Mind, Asks For Fight
There’s no bigger meal ticket in combat sports right now than Conor McGregor. Everyone wants to fight him, from his fellow mixed martial artists in the UFC lightweight division, to fighters in his former featherweight division, to boxers who suck. The reasoning is simple: Fight McGregor and make a f...
The Minnesota Timberwolves Are Up To Their Same Old Bullshit
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 7-5, and 4-1 at home, and 11th in the NBA in offense, with a pair of wins over the hot-shot Oklahoma City Thunder already on their résumé. That’s good! On the other hand they don’t seem, today, like a team that’s having a very good time, fresh off a loss to the Phoenix...
Building A Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame Is A Lot Easier Said Than Done
In traditional competitive sports, the question of what makes a hall of famer, while fodder for heated arguments, is relatively straightforward.

This Is The Arc Of Joe Maddon's Anger
In the eighth inning of tonight’s 3-2 Cubs victory over the Dodgers, there was, for a few moments, a third-strike call on Curtis Granderson. Just until the umpires conferred for a bit and determined that Granderson had in fact fouled the ball off rather than swinging and missing. This made Cubs mana...
The Cubs Live Another Day
