The World Beard And Mustache Championships Is A Place To Be Seen
If you watch the Westminster Dog Show on television, what you’ll see is the best of groups—like toy or hunting—and ultimately the best in show. But earlier in the day, in a warehouse on a pier, judges pick the best in breed. This is my favorite part. Since dog shows grade canines on their adherence ...
Superman Metaphors Are Jerry Jones's Kryptonite
The Arkansas Razorbacks are remaking their football team’s alternate uniforms in the style of the Dallas Cowboys, in honor of alum and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Washington Ends Su'a Cravens's Season Before He Gets A Chance To Show Up
Roughly two weeks ago, Washington safety Su’a Cravens abruptly told management that he planned to retire from the NFL. He didn’t say why, but the team apparently convinced him to change his mind for a little while and placed him on the exempt/left squad list, which would give him a month to decide w...
Nick Kyrgios Took A Beating
Given the prim tone of the sport, genuine trash-talking is an unlikely sight in tennis. When Alexander Zverev visibly uttered “fuck” while starting down his vanquished opponent, fans in the gallery may have dropped their champagne flutes and lost their monocles due to violent eye-popping. That was f...

Ken Zampese’s 18-game tenure as Bengals offensive coordinator effectively ended late Thursday night, when star wide receiver A.J. Green went off about the unit’s rather staggering ineptitude so far this season....
Gareth Bale's Still Got It
It’s more than a little insane to think that Gareth Bale—after four seasons at Real Madrid in which he has played 150 matches and amassed a mind-boggling combined 118 goals and assists, in that time asserting himself as a perennial top 10 player in the world with an unrivaled combination of speed an...

Adalaide Byrd Will Now Only Be Issuing Baffling Scorecards In Unimportant Fights

Ezekiel Elliott Quit On A Play And Some People Are Aghast
The Broncos manhandled the Cowboys 42-17, just a thorough annihilation in every aspect of the game. But almost immediately, most of the blame for the loss—or at least the loudest of the criticism—fell upon Ezekiel Elliott, who had the worst game of his life....
Adalaide Byrd Must Have Slept Through The Middle Rounds
Saturday night’s middleweight bout between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez was a good one. The two judges who didn’t shock and appall viewers with their scorecards had it as a close one—Dave Moretti had it as a narrow (115-113) Golovkin win, while Don Trella had it as a 114-114 draw. All three j...
Dante Pettis Does It Again; Returns Punt For TD In Third Straight Game

Mother Of Plano Mass Shooting Victim: "It Was Her Reclaiming Her Life"
She was reclaiming her life.

The gathering was to watch the Atlanta Falcons gam...
Report: NBA Would Prefer Teams Lie About Injuries

New Mexico Quarterback Lamar Jordan Struggles Off Field After Brutal Hit

How Can Anyone Say Rafael Nadal Is Playing The Best Tennis Of His Life?
This much is true: Rafael Nadal won the U.S. Open, and he’s playing exemplary tennis. In the present, soft field, the tennis is so good that it brought Nadal back to world No. 1 for the first time in four years, with two slams, two masters, and a 56-9 record. But all the hyperbole does make one wond...
