The Dos And Don'ts Of Divorce
Roughly 27 months ago, I separated from my wife of 10 years; early last year, our divorce was finalized.

Atlético Madrid Are A Miracle
Because Atlético Madrid have been consistently really good for a handful of years now and truly great for about two or three, we’ve almost become numb to the fact that they are once again legitimate contenders in the Spanish league.

Eagles' Jason Peters Goes On Rant Against Bengals Lineman For Making All-Pro Team
Eagles lineman Jason Peters is never one to shy away from giving his opinion about something. A few weeks ago, he pulled himself from a loss to avoid risk of injury and was open about it.

The Brooklyn Nets Are Cleaning House
The Brooklyn Nets are the most aimless team in the NBA. They’re old, bad, and they don’t have any of their draft picks, on account of trading too much for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, then watching them tailspin into irrelevancy. This morning, they fired coach Lionel Hollins and “reassigned” GM Bi...

Steph Curry Hit One Of The Most Disrespectful Shots I've Ever Seen
You want to know how much Steph Curry was feeling himself during the Warriors’ 128-116 victory over the Kings?

Steelers Move On After Winning Field Goal Set Up By Attempted Antonio Brown Assassination
Vontaze Burfict’s head shot to Antonio Brown and a subsequent penalty on Adam “Pacman” Jones earned the Steelers and a hobbled Ben Roethlisberger enough yardage to set up a game-winning field goal—one that erased what had been a stunning fourth-quarter Bengals comeback....

The Houston Texans’ plan to leverage home field advantage and an at-times terrifying defense fell through when they allowed Kansas City’s Knile Davis to return the game’s opening kickoff 106 yards for a score.

How To Win At A Casino
With all due respect to the good people of Thackerville, Okla., I am not currently aware of any defensible reason to rumble down their I-35 off-ramp other than to wander, aimlessly and awestruck, around the world’s largest casino. That is, unless you really like tornadoes or porno stores, the two th...
This Toronto Raptors Executive Had An Extremely Tight Wedding
I’m fully aware of the fact that rich people’s ridiculous weddings get written up in places like Vogue precisely because non-rich people will read sentences like, “Everyone gently retrieved their seat assignments from sphagnum moss falling from the boughs of a weeping cherry tree” and go, “Whaaaaaaa...
