Another thing to envy about Chrissy Teigen: She managed to escape the hellsite that is Twitter
Supermodel Chrissy Teigen is aspirational for a lot of women for a lot of reasons: Her beauty, her self-deprecating sense of humor, her intelligence, her relationship with “Sexiest Man Alive” John Legend, her adorable children, the exotic locales from which she often posts to social media.

Barfstool reads Deadspin editor’s new book aloud on YouTube (and, uhh, that’s illegal)
Barstool Sports is not only a company that straight-up promotes online harassment, racism, misogyny, and blatant sexism – they are built upon such a foundation. They use social media platforms to stir up their mouthbreathing cronies against a perceived enemy, and then use that hatred and gross behav...

Derek Jeter won’t rest until the Marlins are as boring as he is
For a team that’s won two World Series, the Marlins existence has been rather unspectacular. Other than those wins, all they’re known for is trading players away. First in 1998, then Marcell Ozuna, Giancarlo Stanton, and Christian Yelich. Whatever happened in between has been covered by the sands of...
Tanks a lot! Rockets going from 44-28 to 11-28 is putrid, but not most historic NBA drop-off ever
On Feb. 4, the Rockets went to Memphis and beat the Grizzlies by 12 points for their seventh win in eight games, moving to 11-10 for the season. Certainly, Houston was outperforming expectations after trading away James Harden, but nobody knew how bad things were about to get....

Don't give DeShaun Watson the benefit of the doubt just because you want him to play QB for your team
At the time of writing, there are now three lawsuits against Deshaun Watson from women who say they were assaulted by the (currently) Houston quarterback. All of them have been met, mostly, with claims of tenuous connections between the lawyer representing the women, Tony Buzbee, and some billboards...
Top scorers in Tournament include all-time greats and one other guy ...
The list of all-time leading NCAA Tournament scorers is a who’s who of legends. Guys who threw teams on their backs and hacked a trail with a machete to a title.
