Two Insufferable Teams Combine Forces For One Really Big Piece Of Shit
Notre Dame football will play at Yankee Stadium in November, so to commemorate what will surely be a memorable game against Syracuse, the Fighting Irish will wear these pinstriped uniforms. The price is quite steep at $95, but anyone who’d buy one would be doing so drunk anyway....
The Giants-Dodgers Brawl, From Andrew McCutchen's Perspective
Yasiel Puig and the Giants brawled again on Tuesday. This time, it wasn’t Madison Bumgarner, but Nick Hundley who took offense to an unconscionably insignificant Puig “transgression.” Yasiel yelled “fuck” after fouling off a ball:...
Only Art Modell Can Save The Columbus Crew From Relocating Now
Columbus Crew SC, in conjunction with MLS czar Don Garber, has crossed one of the final checkpoints in their plan to move the team to Austin as early as next season.

Anthony Precourt Gets One Step Closer To Pimping Out The Columbus Crew To Austin
Big Daddy Kane might not have thought pimping was easy, but back when he wrote that song he hadn’t seen how simple it was for the Columbus Crew’s grease-palmed owner Anthony Precourt to merely raise a hand menacingly at his current john—the city of Columbus—while also whispering of his service’s ill...

The Scenic City Invitational Is Everything Good And Weird About Indie Wrestling
It’s Sunday, and I’m at a semi-dive bar in a strange city. Dylan, my friend of more than 15 years, is lying unconscious in the middle of the room, having just been stomped by a proud redneck who everyone else in the spot had been mocking for having a small penis. Two of our mutual friends jump in to...
Brawl Spills Over Into Fan Area At Skins-Jets Joint Practice

Mike Francesa: Yeah, I Remember Grinding My Feet Into Eddie's Couch
This is unreal....
Giancarlo Stanton Set A Record For The Hardest-Hit Home Run
Exit velocity has become the bugbear of baseball’s anti–“super nerds” crowd. For them, the relatively recent ability to measure how hard a ball comes off a bat is a symbol of everything wrong with modern baseball analysis: a quantification of something that doesn’t need to be quantified; a number th...
Cam Newton Seems Miffed That Kelvin Benjamin Said He Sucked
Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is about to begin his first full season in Buffalo, after three-and-a-half years with the Carolina Panthers, and one might think that this move up north would be a downgrade for a wideout used to playing with Cam Newton. Josh Allen, A.J. McCarron, and Nathan Peterman ar...

Knicks owner James Dolan was a longtime friend of disgraced sex pervert Harvey Weinstein, and now he wants to let everyone know that he, James Dolan, is sorry that he never stopped Weinstein from sexually assaulting countless women.

Yeah, That's A Goddamn Moth In An Umpire's Ear
Gahhhhh. This is an awful thing that should never happen—with any living creature, not just a dusty flying bug—but Yankees-White Sox umpire Bruce Dreckman was remarkably calm when a small, moth-like animal (most likely a moth) flew into his ear between innings....
Alvin Kamara Still Isn't Fucking Over That Minneapolis Miracle Shit<em></em>
Bleacher Report’s Master Tesfatsion went long on Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who’s described as a “reluctant star.” Kamara, the reigning NFL offensive rookie of the year, really opened up to Tesfatsion, especially on the topic of the Minneapolis Miracle that bounced the Saints from the playoff...
Let's Remember Some Guys: WrestleMania Vol. IV
“Ripping packs of baseball cards was one of my favorite things to do as a kid,” my colleague David Roth wrote in June in an essay accompanying a video of the baseball card-opening series that I’ve now somehow both wormed my way into and made about professional wrestling. “I like the experience of op...
Why Is Jose Reyes Still Playing For The Mets?
It still doesn’t quite scan, given that Jose Reyes is one of the best players ever to play for the New York Mets, but it’s true. Purely from a baseball standpoint—surely the most charitable standpoint from which to view someone who was suspended for 51 games by Major League Baseball for an incident ...
