Hockey Team's Logo Was So Bad, They Changed The Whole Damn Team Name
Yesterday, we predicted that the Lake Erie Warriors, a junior club in the brand-new NCPHL, would apologize and change its logo. It happened fast.

Juventus's Ungodly Fee For Gonzalo Higuaín Is Well Worth It

Silvio Berlusconi To AC Milan's Players: Stop Sucking Or I Won't Pay You
Libidinous tangerine peel, AC Milan owner, and proto-Trump Silvio Berlusconi is mad.

Talking to the players ahead of the biggest match of the season, Berlusconi mad...

Here Are All 36 Goals From Gonzalo Higuaín's Amazing, Record-Breaking Season
As inarguably great as Gonzalo Higuaín has been for the better part of a decade now, he tends to be overlooked when it comes time to rhapsodize about the great pure strikers in the world.

The Pharaoh Stephan El Shaarawy Is Back From The Dead
It’s easy to forget that not all progress follows a smooth curve.

Gustav Nyquist's No-Look Backhander Ties Up Colorado Stadium Series Game
