Stop Dropping The Fucking Ball Before The Goal Line, You Idiots
One would think that the habit of dropping the football before crossing the goal line in a real-life game would be easy enough to not develop. Yet, since DeSean Jackson’s infamous early celebration against the Cowboys in 2009—just two weeks into his NFL career—it’s been a terrible tradition that has...

SafeSport Bans Taekwondo's Steven Lopez, But Will It Last?

Let's All Be Really Wrong About The 2018 NFL Season
For all the things that there are to love about the NFL—idiotic and wholly unaccountable leadership, a profoundly malfunctioning moral compass, the new rules that no one even knows how to enforce, the whole Nathan Peterman Thing—the purest pleasure it offers is the chance to be wrong as hell about ...

Men Should Play Best Of Three Sets, And Anyone Who Says Otherwise Is A Weenie Like ESPN's Brad Gilbert
At the grand slams—Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and U.S. Open—men play best-of-five set matches, and these matches are often too long.
