Which Hoodie Brings Bill Belichick The Most Success?
Mike Dussault, also known as @PatsPropaganda, looked through 160 games since 2003 and tracked the types of hoodies worn by Bill Belichick to determine which one yielded the best record. He also specified hoodies with and without sleeves cut off. We thank him for his hard work....

Bill Belichick Is Fed Up With All These Wrong-Ass Meteorologists

Bill Belichick Likely To Study Tape Of His Slaying Of Reporter
We've gone over this before, but Bill Belichick's adept at letting reporters draw out their questions before he shuts them down with curt answers.

Anthony Davis Still Improving Should Terrify Opponents
LeBron James's return to Cleveland was the biggest story of the 2014 NBA offseason, but in the not-so-distant future we may be referring to it instead as the summer of Anthony Davis. With almost none of America's big stars playing in the FIBA Basketball World Cup, the 21(!) year old power forward an...

You Get Three Questions Before Bill Belichick Changes The Subject
On Tuesday, Darrelle Revis was late to work, so Bill Belichick sent him home—or at least held him out of practice. It wasn't exactly clear. In his first time meeting with the media since then, Belichick was not about to make things any clearer....

Damn, Millennials, Pizza Hut Thinks You're Super Boring
Much of the content of this Washington Post report on the diverging fortunes of delivery pizza giants Domino's and Pizza Hut—the former is thriving, the latter not s'much—passes harmlessly overhead, as remote and incomprehensible as solar wind washing harmlessly over the Earth's magnetic field. Dom...

Chart: Relief Pitchers Earning The Most Postseason Decisions In 50 Years
This chart from yesterday by High Heat Stats MLB shows decisions are being earned by relievers in these playoffs at the highest rate since 1964.

Can The Chicago Marathon Get Back In The World-Record Game?
Man, it's rough work to make a world record happen in the marathon. Dennis Kimetto's freshly minted 2:02:57 took a whopping 26 seconds off the previous mark, but think about it—that relatively large improvement works out to a blink per mile, one step in a pothole, a hamstring twinge, a gust of wind....

Bill Belichick Really Just Wants To Talk About Cincinnati
Bill Belichick was in excellent press-conference form two days after the Chiefs demolished the Patriots. Reporters kept asking him about the Patriots' roster, Tom Brady's age, and concerns for the team's current state. Belichick wasn't interesting in talking about anything else but Sunday night's ...

Don't Ask Bill Belichick If It's Time To Think About His Quarterbacks
The Patriots were bad, bad, bad last night, getting beaten soundly on both sides of the ball in a 41-14 road thumping at the hands of the Chiefs.

CFL Linebacker Talks Trash To Opponent During Halftime Interview
I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the CFL, but I will say that I am now a fan of BC Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian. That's because during halftime of yesterday's game between the Lions and Calgary Stampeders, he did some great on-camera shit-talking....

Phillies Fans Mimic Craig Kimbrel's Stance To Mess With Him
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel has an odd stance before he pitches. He hunches over and stretches his arms out, resembling a bird of prey defending itself. As he worked in the ninth inning last night, Phillies fans behind home plate decided to imitate his habit. From the view on the pitching mound, i...
