Go Ahead And Enjoy Christian Pulisic Tearing Shit Up In A Meaningless Game
I’m not going to tell you that Christian Pulisic’s performance in today’s Borussia Dortmund-AC Milan friendly—in which he conjured two assists, won a penalty, and eeled his way past famously big and bad Serie A defenders more times than you could count—means that the Wonderteen is primed to take the...
Lonzo Puts The Ball Where It Needs To Go
Lonzo Ball ditched his kicks, and may not be all that explosive off the dribble, but ultimately will be just fine. For whatever it’s worth, he was named Summer League MVP yesterday. While earning this honor he averaged 16.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists and did many, many good passes, which are ...
MMA Fighter Loses After Barfing All Over The Cage

Cowboys Receiver's Missing Dog Returned By Rapper Boogotti Kasino
Yesterday, Cowboys wide receiver Lucky Whitehead alerted the world to the fact that his adorable dog, Blitz, had been stolen from his home and was being held for ransom.

What Is The Most Mentally Grueling Sport, And Why Is It Not Tennis?<em></em>
Last week our own Laura Wagner declared tennis to be the most mentally grueling of all sports, which greatly incensed the rest of us on staff who have borne witness to professional tennis players being tended to by an army of small child servants during matches. So what IS the most mentally grueling...
The Skins Really Couldn't Have Played This Kirk Cousins Situation Any Worse
The first thing you notice, once you look a little more closely into the Skins’ attempt to gain the high ground on Kirk Cousins, is that in the video meant to smear the quarterback as unreasonable, team president Bruce Allen repeatedly calls him “Kurt.”...
Bruce Allen Explains Why He Didn't Sign "Kurt" Cousins
Kirk Cousins did not get a new contract before the NFL’s franchise tag deadline passed this afternoon, which means he’ll play the 2017-18 season on a one-year deal before becoming a free agent next summer.

Hell Is Winning Free Tickets And Not Realizing It
Predators fan Andrew Fudge wanted some free tickets to see his team play the Penguins in the Stanley Cup, so he entered a promo that the team was running, once before Game 3 and once before Game 4. He’s not much of a Twitter user, and it seems that he forgot about the promo shortly after entering it...
Spurs Sell Kyle Walker To Man City, Will Probably Be Fine
The last time there was this much anxiety about Tottenham being a “selling club” was way back in 2013. In back-to-back offseasons, Real Madrid snatched away Spurs superstars Gareth Bale and Luka Modrić, both of whom had worked together to take Tottenham to previously unseen heights—most notably the ...

Yesterday, the Oakland A’s traded relievers Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson to the Washington Nationals in exchange for reliever Blake Treinen and two minor leaguers.

Showtime™ Presents: Misogyny, Racism, And Homophobia<em></em>
You don’t have to pick a side between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. Floyd’s an unapologetic abuser of women and the Internal Revenue Service, while Conor is a racist dipshit.

The Mikes of ESPN’s Mike & Mike will soon split apart and become simply Mike and Mike, and reports out of Mikeville have indicated that the Mikes don’t really like each other.

It’s Not Always A Good Idea To Wait For Your Pitch
