Kent Bazemore Gets Emotional While Discussing Decision To Return To Atlanta
It wasn’t so long ago that Kent Bazemore was the scrub on the end of the Warriors’ bench who wasn’t known for anything other than his enthusiastic celebrations.

Arm Yourself Against The Mosquito, Your One True Enemy
It is a time of war. We are under attack, and every woman, man, and child must fend for themselves. They are coming for us, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them. We must fight until we can fight no more. I’m so tired I could cry. ...
Chelsea Settle Former Team Doctor's Lawsuit Against Club And José Mourinho
After José Mourinho blew up on then-Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro during a game back in August, apparently for her unforgivable sin of tending to an injured player, and after he then demoted her for said unforgivable sin, and after Carneiro was like “Screw this, I’m out of here, and I’m suing all...
Staycation Out Of Bed
A long weekend approaches. Let’s say that you have not been blessed with the kind of friends or family who plan nice things for your lazy self to do (while smoothly handling all the tedious logistics), or that you have purposefully blocked this space of time out to do nothing and be with no one. Slo...
Chelsea Literally Own "José Mourinho"
If you’re wondering why it’s been taking Manchester United and José Mourinho to seal their inevitable marriage, you’re not alone.

NFL Breaks Up Pete Morelli's Entire Officiating Crew After Bizarrely Terrible Season
There really is no way to describe Pete Morelli’s 2015 season other than as a nightmare. Blown calls—lots of them, and in very visible situations—led to the Morelli crew unsurprisingly being left out of the postseason, and now the league has come down with its strongest censure short of termination:...

It is difficult, for a number of good reasons, to wake up on any given day and resolve to visit the 9/11 Museum. That it is struggling to lure local visitors may not surprise you.

Who's Behind The Louis van Gaal Smear Campaign?
We’re reportedly only hours away from Manchester United’s beleaguered manager Louis van Gaal finally getting the ax, and maybe only days away from the similarly inevitable announcement that José Mourinho’s ass will replace van Gaal’s in that gilded though bloodstained manager’s seat at Old Trafford....
Here's The Prettiest Goal Of The Weekend, By Far
John Quenneville’s fake/between-the-legs goal is the highlight, but Ivan Provorov’s long pass to set it up is also worth admiring. Hell, just enjoy the full sequence, because it’s gorgeous and I’ve already watched it seven times....
Make A Ham Sandwich, Dunk It In Cream Sauce, And Call It A Croque Monsieur
I often wonder whether the infamous French grouchiness isn’t born of resentment over the fact that the most fertile, bountiful turf in all of the Western world has given them only the third-best cuisine, behind both Spain and Italy. That’s gotta blow. Everything grows in France, and beautifully, and...
