I Ate Like A Football Player And Suffered Like A Blogger

South Florida Freshman Scores On Consecutive 98-Yard Kickoff Returns
Probably you are going to want to remember the name Terrence Horne. The 5-foot-7 receiver, a true freshman at South Florida, is both incredibly shifty and incredibly fast, and that makes him an absolute terror on kickoff returns. In the first quarter of today’s game against Georgia Tech, Horne retu...
Mike Hogewood Was The ACC
Growing up in North Carolina, there isn’t a whole bunch that precedes college basketball. God (yes, of course). Family (well, depends on the family). But always in that top-three, above friends, work, and health, sits ACC basketball....
Brandeis Cleans House After Investigation Into Basketball Coaching Abuse
After four months, the external investigative team hired to look into multiple accounts of coaching abuse at Brandeis University determined that former men’s basketball head coach Brian Meehan’s abusive behavior did indeed go on unimpeded by athletic department and university leadership for years, a...
Cole Hamels Has Been A Cub For A Month And He's Already Talking Shit On Brewers Fans
It’s September. Kids are going back to school, football is back on the TV—it’s still too darn hot, but we can’t have everything—and baseball games are starting to really feel like they matter. The slog of the season pays off with this. There’s a sound a crowd makes that only really occurs this time ...
Cole Hamels Looks Unbeatable Again
When the Chicago Cubs acquired Cole Hamels from the Rangers before the trade deadline, it looked like the team was just buying a lotto ticket. Hamels, who was putting up a disastrous 5.19 FIP with the Rangers in 2018, was just another formerly great but presently iffy arm who could join the rest of ...
Report: ESPN's Gutless Future Will Not Include Jemele Hill

Luke Heimlich Signs With Taiwanese Baseball Team, League Kicks Him Out
On Monday, the defending champion Lamigo Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League announced that they had signed former Oregon State pitcher Luke Heimlich, who pleaded guilty to molesting his 6-year-old niece in 2012.

The Nationals Are Cracking Down On Their "Iffy Clubhouse Culture"
Nationals reliever Brandon Kintzler was one of the team’s few trade deadline casualties on Tuesday, traded to the Cubs for a Single-A prospect, a relative pittance given the all-star set-up man’s production this season. The Nats were in a weird, hybrid, buyer/seller mode, one that necessitated consi...

Anthem Respecter Jerry Jones Doesn't Even Respect The Anthem By His Own Standards
Last week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his son Stephen boasted about the team’s expectations that every player stand for the pregame national anthem, or otherwise find himself out of a job.

José Aldo May Have Disintegrated Jeremy Stephens's Liver With This Body Shot
The body shot to the liver is basically the boogey man of all combat sports. One perfectly placed punch to the gut can set off a cascade of unimaginable pain that shuts down a fighter’s entire body. There’s really no coming back from it, as José Aldo proved during this weekend’s fight against Jeremy...

The Dodgers Waved The White Flag
The Dodgers ran out of relievers, and that was just fine with Trevor Plouffe. “I’m going to win the game right here,” Plouffe said to himself as he walked to the plate in the bottom of the 16th, set to face Dodgers outfielder Kiké Hernandez, whose appearance on the mound was somewhat inexplicable, g...
Bryce Harper Wins Extremely Kick-Ass Home Run Derby

After 17 Seasons In San Antonio, Tony Parker Will Join The Charlotte Hornets
There’s no particular reason why this should be received as bad news, but it is something of a bummer: Tony Parker is leaving the San Antonio Spurs after 17 seasons to serve as a backup to Kemba Walker in Charlotte....
