Connor McDavid's Anger Shows The NHL's Concussion Protocol Working Like It Should

A Nasty Sergio Agüero Tackle Got Everybody Fighting In Manchester City-Chelsea
With Manchester City losing 3-1 to Chelsea in stoppage time, Sergio Agüero apparently wasn’t ready to start taking things easy.

Hope Is Wearing Thin For The Vikings
Seemingly ages ago, the Minnesota Vikings were 5-0, sported the best defense in the league, and got a shocking amount of production from an offense led by the surprisingly competent Sam Bradford. Now the team’s 6-6 and losing ground in the playoff hunt, and Thursday night’s loss to the Cowboys offer...

The Minnesota Vikings held Dak Prescott to his fewest yards passing in an NFL game and staged a late comeback against the Dallas Cowboys tonight, but they came up short on a late two-point conversion and lost, 17-15.

Boomer Esiason Alleges Ex-Agent Planted Story About Darrelle Revis Wanting To Retire
Late last night, New York Daily News Jets beat writer Manish Mehta reported that an anonymous “confidant” of Darrelle Revis’s had told Mehta that Revis wishes to retire. Here is the exact quote as it appeared in Mehta’s story:...
MLB Will No Longer Allow The Oakland A's To Pretend To Be A Small-Market Team
If you’re fed up with hearing about the Oakland Athletics’ half-assed quest to find a new stadium, MLB and the MLBPA want you to know they’re right there with you. A stipulation in the new collective bargaining agreement reclassifies the Athletics as a major-market team, which does away with the exc...
Isiah Thomas Gleefully Hoists Disembodied Crying Jordan Head As Tribute To Hoosiers' Win
No. 13 Indiana hosted No. 3 North Carolina last night in a game in which members of the 1981 Hoosier team—the Isiah Thomas-led bunch that won the championship that season by whipping the Tar Heels in the final—were on hand 1) to be honored for their past triumph before this game, and 2) to watch a ...
When The Vandals Took North Africa, They Had Their Way With The Roman Empire
North Africa was one of the heartlands of the Roman Empire. It produced most of the grain that fed Rome, the olive oil that burned in lamps from Sicily to Spain, the pottery that sat on every dinner table from Britain to Greece, and the tax revenue that kept the Roman government flush....
County That Is $1 Billion In Debt Goes Looking For Money To Pay For Cavaliers' Arena Renovations
What happens when an NBA team wants to steal tax dollars in order to pay for arena renovations, but the county it wants to steal from is literally out of money? Does the billionaire who owns the team just go ahead and pay for the renovations himself? Of course not!...
Get A Load Of This Ascot-Wearing, Wine-Toting Anti-Trump Philadelphia Vandal
Last week, two men spray painted “FUCK TRUMP!” on the wall of a Philadelphia Fresh Market. (That’s like a cut-rate Whole Foods.) They were a bit haphazard with their vandalism and got caught on security cameras by the grocery store. This is not a particularly notable case on its merits, and would be...
The English Soccer Sexual Abuse Scandal Is Growing Into A Colossal Nightmare
Andy Woodward, a former defender for fourth-tier English soccer team Crewe Alexandra, told The Guardian two weeks ago about the repeated sexual abuse he had suffered at the hands of convicted pedophile Barry Bennell, who was a Crewe youth coach in the 1980s and 1990s. Since then Bennell has been cha...
Kind And Gentle Aussie Goalkeeper Rescues Seagull That Took A Ball To The Face
Born to a sun-scorched land whose cruelly blistering climes have weeded out all but the most terrifying and murderous critters (and, somehow, koalas), it makes sense that Australians would be better equipped than most to interact with the rare friendly creature that crosses their paths with respect,...
It's Always Nice To Get Another Peek At LeBron James's Genius
The “LeBron as cyborg” trope may get old with repetition, but it’s also just ... true? It is true. We’ve been presented with more evidence that he is a post-human basketball genius than otherwise. And while it’s hard to add anything truly novel to the conversation about James, it does happen occasio...
Dabo Swinney Thinks Reporters Should Be Fired For Doing Their Jobs
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has a bone to pick with all those unethical reporters out there who don’t cover his team exactly the way he wants them to. ...
