Max Scherzer Pretends To Choke Bryce Harper
The Washington Nationals, the saddest and most dysfunctional team in the league, are somehow still playing baseball games. I kind of assumed that everyone had already packed up their shit and gone home for the winter, but nope! They’re still out there, pitchin’ and hittin’ and catchin’. At least Max...
This Is The Worst Of The Bad Opinions On Bryce Harper, But Only So Far
This teaser tweet is insane enough:...
Kevin Johnson’s Shitbaggery, Explained
Over the past year, our Dave McKenna has reported on a number of sordid scandals surrounding former NBA All-Star and current Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson, culminating in this painful account from a woman who has accused Johnson of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager. Even by the standards...
Nationals Suspend Jonathan Papelbon For Choking Out Their Best Player
Since MLB isn’t equipped to punish a player choking out his own teammate in the dugout, the Nationals gave a four-game suspension to fuming goblin Jonathan Papelbon for attacking Bryce Harper during Sunday’s game....
Nation Demands Pro-Jonathan Papelbon Takes; Fox Sports Provides Them
The trouble with a story like yesterday’s Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon fight in the Nationals dugout is that it does not contain much—any—ambiguity. It is unambiguously wonderful, that oh-God-this-is-so-fucking-stupid kind of wonderful, and also Jonathan Papelbon unambiguously is a belligerent too...
Enjoy The Matt Williams Farce While You Still Can
It is a testament to the Washington Nationals’ dysfunction that the dugout fight between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper almost made sense compared to everything that came after. A team’s for-hire closer trying to choke the league MVP is one thing, but it’s absolutely inexplicable that manager Ma...
Three Images From The Bears Game (So We Never Have To Speak Of It Again)
Already deeply flawed and lacking the injured Jay Cutler, the Bears weren’t expected to do much against the Seahawks. Chicago managed to surprise, though, accomplishing even less than that....
Jonathan Papelbon And Bryce Harper Brawl In Nationals Dugout
The Nationals are really deteriorating as their season comes to an end. They somehow have a winning record, but the dugout has gotten downright toxic. Just this week, Papelbon plunked Manny Machado then Bryce Harper called him out for it. Today, tensions boiled over and the two got into a fight in t...
Ex-Alabama St. Coach And Booster Get In A Fight During Deposition
Reggie Barlow was a decent NFL wide receiver for about a decade, where he played for some (somehow) good Jaguars teams and won a Super Bowl ring with the Buccaneers. After retiring, he quickly moved back home to Montgomery to coach his alma mater Alabama State football team. After eight relatively s...
<i>Empire </i>Is Back, And More Ridiculous Than Ever
The second season of Empire opens with a #FreeLucious concert staged as a show of support for incarcerated Empire Records CEO Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard). Bill Clinton is said to be in the crowd (“if he wants his wife to get elected”), Swizz Beatz is onstage, and Al Sharpton is backstage, along w...
Come On, Summer Is Obviously The Worst Season, Fight Me
Just what the fuck?...
Robert De Niro Redeems The Dopey Fantasy That Is <i>The Intern</i>
At a time when some romantic comedies are flexing an edgier, more smart-ass tone—They Came Together, Sleeping With Other People, even Trainwreck—perhaps it’s a refreshing palate-cleanser that Nancy Meyers movies continue to operate in their own storybook world. You know what to expect from the write...
Horny Bills Fans Continue To Have No Concept Of Shame
A reader sent along some photos from Sunday’s Patriots-Bills game, and we have to ask, why do Bills fans insist on utilizing their partners’ pants like dead Tauntauns?...
Ta-Nehisi Coates Needs An Editor, Says Editor Who Edited Like One Blog Post In 18 Months
Earlier this week, Atlantic writer Ta-Nehisi Coates published an enormous study of mass incarceration and its impact on African-American families in America today. The article is comprehensive, exhaustive, compellingly written, and reaches back into centuries of American oppression to come to the co...
The Yankees' "Biggest Hit Of The Season" Came From An Unlikely Rookie
After losing three of four to Toronto this weekend, the Yankees were nearly as close to being out of the playoffs as they were from the top of the AL East. Through seven innings against Erasmo Ramirez and the Rays last night, they didn’t manage a hit. They were down 1-0 with two outs in the ninth an...
Bryce Harper: Nationals Fans Leaving Early Was "Brutal"
Early-September series don’t get much more important than Mets-Nats, not with each game being a two-game swing in the standings and a wild card all but out of reach for the loser. The Mets came to Washington four games up, so for the Nationals, this is basically a playoff series. Bryce Harper wishes...
Bryce Harper Scores Four Runs Without Ever Recording An Official At-Bat
That’s Bryce Harper with what I assume is a bored look on his face while standing on base. He did that a lot tonight. ...
Doug Martin Is Still Not Really Down With That Whole "Muscle Hamster" Thing
Poor Doug Martin finds himself in the unenviable position of owning a very unique nickname that everyone else seems to enjoy, but that he himself despises. Martin started his Stop Calling Me “Muscle Hamster” campaign years ago, and God bless him, he’s still going strong....
DeAndre Hopkins And DeAngelo Hall Are Still Going At It
The first episode of Hard Knocks featured Houston WR DeAndre Hopkins and Washington CB DeAngelo Hall jawing at each other through a joint practice. The climax was Hall slipping and falling in coverage, and Hopkins treating it like he broke Hall’s ankles. The battle didn’t end with on-field taunting,...
You'll Forget About <i>The Man From U.N.C.L.E. </i>While You're Still Watching It
1. You need a pretty good reason to resuscitate The Man From U.N.C.L.E.—a ’60s television series that went off the air before Jay Z was born—and I’m afraid Guy Ritchie’s movie version doesn’t have one. Perfectly passable, generic, and inoffensive, it vanishes from your brain almost while you’re watc...
