The Yankees Seem To Be Looking For A Manager Who Doesn't Exist
Nearly two weeks after the Yankees decided to let manager Joe Girardi walk, nothing has emerged to make their decision seem any less confusing than it did at the time. Some fresh commentary on the situation from general manager Brian Cashman did nothing to clear it up....
Building A Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame Is A Lot Easier Said Than Done
In traditional competitive sports, the question of what makes a hall of famer, while fodder for heated arguments, is relatively straightforward. While there is always context that can be added, who the best players are is a largely statistical matter. In professional wrestling, it’s completely diffe...
Let's Remember This Deion Sanders Inside-The-Park Homer
Tony Romo dropped a minor burn on Deion Sanders during the CBS broadcast yesterday, noting that Kansas City’s Marcus Peters “makes Deion Sanders looks good at tackling.” Sanders responded on TV with a Stephen-A.-inspired monologue....
Holy Crap, You Can Finally See The Shape Of The Knicks' Future
Kristaps Porzingis just began his third season, and somehow it feels like we’ve waited a decade for him to have a competent point guard. This is a more Knicks-wide crisis, decades in the making, involving a procession of washed, deluded, or otherwise bleak names: Stephon Marbury, (old) Baron Davis,...
It's Time For The Giants To Move On From Eli Manning
The Giants are 1-7 and after the season they’re going to clean house. Being bad is bad enough, but being bad in a season in which they were trendy Super Bowl contenders is going to cost coach Ben McAdoo his job, and maybe GM Jerry Reese his, and possibly even spell the end of Eli Manning’s time in N...
Nobody Tell Cam Newton What Happened To The <i>Titanic</i>
It was a big Sunday for the Panthers, who beat the Falcons 20-17 and stayed a half-game back of the Saints for the NFC South lead. It was also the first game without WR Kelvin Benjamin, who was surprisingly shipped to the Bills last week. Cam Newton rolled with it, and compared it to something like ...
How Ben McAdoo Rallied The Giants At Halftime: “Um”
The Giants got rolled by the Rams 51-17. At halftime, the score was just 27-10. Not close, either, but in the realm of possibility that the Giants could catch up. ...
Mike Evans Lays Out Marshon Lattimore With Cheap Shot To The Back
Tempers appear to be hot all throughout the NFL this afternoon, as not long after A.J. Green went full GSP on Jalen Ramsey in Jacksonville, the Buccaneers’ Mike Evans came out of nowhere to lay a cheap shot on the Saints’ Marshon Lattimore during a stoppage in play in New Orleans. Lattimore was exch...
The Giants Gave Up A Touchdown On Third And 33
It doesn’t get any easier for a defense than third and 33. Play as conservative as possible, keep everyone in front of you, and there’s no way the offense should be able to gain all they need....
The Tonga Vs. Samoa Face-Off At The Rugby League World Cup Was Incredibly Badass
Yesterday’s Tonga versus Samoa match at the 2017 Rugby League World Cup in New Zealand opened with one hell of a badass scene, as the two teams engaged in a prematch face-off for the ages. This thing rules so hard:...
Scottish Captain, Two Others Kicked Off Team In Middle Of Rugby League World Cup For Being Too Drunk
The Rugby League World Cup is underway in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, but the Scottish national team left captain Danny Brough and two other players behind in Christchurch today as the team flew to Brisbane because they were just too drunk. ...
Enjoy Kristaps Porzingis Chasing Josh Jackson Around Like An Angry Storm Cloud
The Knicks beat the Suns last night behind another incredible offensive performance from young Kristaps Porzingis. The Suns have looked frisky since the firing of Earl Watson—that doesn’t make this some great win, but it does help make the case that the Knicks are not, in fact, complete trash. No. W...
Turkish NBA Fans Are Being Spared Knicks Games
What’s the more notable detail from this SNY report: that Knicks games are apparently being blacked out in Turkey as part of the Turkish government’s ongoing hostility towards Enes Kanter; or that Enes Kanter expects the Knicks—currently in the NBA’s bottom 10 in both offensive and defensive rating...
Don't Post Disembodied Engagement Ring Photos
I don’t think you have to eschew all traditional displays of romance to be a cool, modern couple. Even if you decide these traditions are rooted in an oppressive historical patriarchy (they are) and often serve to perpetuate systematic inequality between the sexes on a society-wide scale (they do), ...

Colts Give Up, Shut Down Andrew Luck For The Season
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck didn’t play at the start of the season because of his injured shoulder, and now he won’t play for any part of it. The team officially placed him on injured reserve for the remainder of the year....
<i>The Killing Of A Sacred Deer</i> Is As Scary As Anything You'll Ever See<em></em>
The scariest movie in theaters this Halloween season isn’t the one where a college kid relives the night she was brutally murdered over and over, nor is it the one in which a homicidal maniac with a god complex designs elaborate games in order to torture and kill his victims, nor is it the movie abo...
