Arsenal Just Took A Sledgehammer To Leicester’s Glass Slippers
You’d be hard-pressed to find a purer distillation of why Arsenal beat Leicester City yesterday 2-1, and of why the Gunners were always likely to eventually run down for the league title the greatest story in sports, than that final fateful sequence....
The Only Constant In The EPL Title Race Is Chaos
The Premier League season is a brutally long slog through 38 games from August to May, where teams must balance ambitions on as many as four fronts, while managing health and keeping everyone happy. It’s about not breaking down as much as it is about throttling every opponent. So it’s easy to lose t...
The Sixers Realize They're A Big Joke, Are Now Maybe Trying To Fix That
The Philadelphia 76ers, those smirking pioneers of a remarkably misguided, anti-fun, actuarial, game theory-ass approach to NBA basketball, are now starting to realize that you can’t exactly build a winning basketball team while ignoring, well, the basketball. Back in December, the NBA more or less ...
Liverpool Fans Get Their Wish As Club Agrees To Two-Year Ticket Price Freeze
Through staunch public opposition, a coordinated stadium walk-out, and a strongly-worded video critique of the squad, the powers that be at Liverpool have scrapped their proposal to raise the prices of tickets....
Uh, Can Anyone Catch Leicester City?
For the entirety of this EPL season, it’s never been a question if a big club could catch Leicester City and retake the Premier League lead, but which big club would. Eventually, the thinking went, this plucky group of upstarts would turn back into a pumpkin and they’d be eclipsed by the inevitable ...
Jay Glazer Claims Mike Francesa Has A Huge Cock
Thanks to Fox Sports NFL reporter Jay Glazer, we have the answer to one of the great mysteries of the world: How big is Mike Francesa’s dong? Glazer, who interned for WFAN at the start of his career, gave the details to CBS Sports Radio’s Gio and Jones....
So Leicester City Might Actually Do This, Huh?
Leicester City smashed Liverpool 2-0 today on the strength of a Jamie Vardy wonder goal, and a much less spectacular but almost as vital strike by Vardy 11 minutes later. Leicester City’s attack was absolutely humming—before the second goal came a Barcelona-esque sequence that should’ve resulted in ...
Jamie Vardy's Wondrous Volley Is One Of The Best Goals You'll See All Year
Yes, this is video of Jamie Vardy—who, despite all odds is still the Premier League’s leading scorer—sizing up a visionary pass by Riyad Mahrez—still one of the most dangerous players in all of England—and instead of doing the sensible thing and taking a touch to figure out what to do next, straight...
How Much Time And Money Would Bruce Springsteen Waste Trying To Trade Shoes For Sex?
Bruce Springsteen is on the road yet again, now playing The River in its entirety. That means he’ll be singing “Drive All Night.” I’ve seen it, and can report that it is, as it always has been, a really dumb song—the dumbest thing ever credited to Springsteen....
Lance Stephenson Dunks On Lakers, Destroys Their Souls
Holy crap. Did anyone know Lance Stephenson could do this? He just chokeslammed the Lakers back to whatever slop bucket they were dredged up from. Once again, the Lakers have proven themselves a valuable source for highlight reel raw materials....
Kristaps Porzingis And His Agent Wanted Nothing To Do With The 76ers' Process
Though a full accounting won’t be possible for a number of years, so far the breakout stars of the 2015 draft are Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis. Picking third, the Philadelphia 76ers missed out on a chance at Towns. But they passed on Porzingis, opting for Duke standout Jahlil Okafor, fo...
Vince Staples Is A Hilarious NBA Fashion Critic
Vince Staples is a very talented and funny rapper who also happens to be a big NBA fan. So, obviously, putting him on camera and asking him to make fun of the way NBA players dress was a great decision....
Stoke Defender Might Want To Retire After What Riyad Mahrez Did To Him
Like, Philipp Wollscheid at least should probably change his name after this. The elastico itself was disgusting, but that Riyad Mahrez flicked it through the poor defender’s legs, and that Wollscheid just stood their frozen, eyes cast downward looking like a child inspecting the damage after he’d j...

The 76ers Aren't Historically Bad Anymore, They're Just Bad
The Philadelphia 76ers clobbered the Portland Trail Blazers last night, winning 114-89 for their fifth victory of the season. At one point they were 1-30 with an average point differential of -13.3; now they’re 5-37 with an average point differential of -11.1. They still aren’t any good, but their f...
What Is That Thing On Stan Kroenke's Head?
Rams owner Stan Kroenke has been in the news lately for his part in a disgraceful shitbag scheme that involves him moving his team from St. Louis to Los Angeles. This makes it a good time to ask a question we’ve long been meaning to ask: What the fuck is that on his head?...
How To Win At A Casino
With all due respect to the good people of Thackerville, Okla., I am not currently aware of any defensible reason to rumble down their I-35 off-ramp other than to wander, aimlessly and awestruck, around the world’s largest casino. That is, unless you really like tornadoes or porno stores, the two th...
Liverpool Storm Four Men On Open-Goal Fast Break, Still Don't Score
Liverpool beat Leicester City 1-0 at Anfield today, holding the league’s most surprising team scoreless for the first time all season. But it should have been a 2-0 victory, as a late open goal break somehow fell apart when Christian Benteke couldn’t find a net left vacant by Kasper Schmeichel. Schm...
The <i>Star Wars</i> Chronology Melted Mike Francesa's Brain
Today, Mike Francesa talked Star Wars, and it was glorious. A simple question about how many Star Wars movies George Lucas actually directed led to one of his producers attempting to explain the chronology of the movies, and that’s when things got good:...
