Rating Pro Wrestling's New "Best Match Ever" Is Way More Contentious Than It Needs To Be<em></em><em></em>
This week, much has been made of the main event of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s annual Dominion event, which took place on Sunday. IWGP heavyweight champion Kazuchika Okada and challenger Kenny Omega went to a 60-minute time-limit draw, the hallmark of classic title matches for decades. It came five mo...

Draymond Green Finally Gets T-Shirt Revenge On LeBron, Gets Owned Anyway [Update]
The last time the Warriors won a title (the year before they blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals), Draymond Green got tipsy at the team’s victory parade in Oakland. He mocked the Cleveland Cavaliers by rapping “Cavaliers? Nope. We won? Yupp. They suck? Yupp. We here? Yupp. They not? Nooope.”...

The Clippers Are Exploring A Possible Move To A New Arena In Inglewood [Update]
Steve Ballmer, the recently woke owner of the Clippers, has been trying to get his team out of the arena that they share with the Lakers for some time. He bought the Clippers during the summer of 2014, and every year since then, he’s talked about the possibility of leaving with a rising sense of urg...
Columnist: What This Nation Needs Is For More Sports Teams To Be Nice To Donald Trump<em></em>
Maybe you have heard that some or all of the Golden State Warriors may decline an invitation to celebrate their NBA championship at Donald Trump’s White House, if Donald Trump chooses to invite them, which he has not yet. Maybe you have also heard that yesterday morning, an angry man with Bernie San...
Steph Curry Doesn't Seem Like He Wants To Go To The White House
Earlier this week, irresponsible and unfounded reporting claimed the Golden State Warriors will not be visiting the White House following their NBA Finals victory. That story was false; there’s still good reason to think that the team, or at least a few key members, might skip out on the tradition....
Jerry West Leaving Warriors For Consultant Role With Clippers
Scarcely two days since the Golden State Warriors won the second title in three years, Jerry West is leaving the team to become a special consultant to the Los Angeles Clippers....
Aaron Hicks Robs Angels Of Grand Slam With Leaping Catch Over The Wall
The Yankees got out to a four-run lead over the Angels in the top of the first inning tonight, and Aaron Hicks wasn’t ready to see it slip away. With the bases loaded for Anaheim in the bottom of the inning, he leaped for a perfectly-timed grab over the wall in center field in order to rob Luis Valb...
Ian Happ Did Something Only Four Other Players In History Have Done
Cubs rookie Ian Happ went 1-for-5 last night with a walk, a grand slam, and four strikeouts during the Cubs’ 14-3 beatdown over the Mets. That makes him, per Baseball Reference, one of only five players in baseball history to hit a grand slam and earn a Golden Sombrero in a single game....
Odell Beckham Jr. Takes A Shot At The Media With His Cleats
The handwringing over Odell Beckham Jr.’s decision to skip out on the Giants’ voluntary OTAs has been the most exhausting storyline of the NFL offseason. The NFL media would be a lot better if everyone stopped pretending to care that some players skip OTAs, and Beckham appears to agree with that sen...
Warriors Fans Are Still Herbs
Another NBA season down, another opportunity to reflect on the fact that Warriors fans are huge fucking herbs and always will be....
Iman Shumpert Makes Me Real Sad
Exactly midway through the second quarter, well before Game 5 had drifted out to a place beyond hope, LeBron kicked the ball out for a nice open three, as LeBron likes to do. The pass might’ve been a few inches low, but still left this teammate plenty of time to beat Kevin Durant’s scrambling closeo...
About That Warriors White House Visit
Barely hours after the Golden State Warriors won their second title in three season, a report claimed the team had already decided to skip the White House ceremony usually available to championship teams. It seemed plausible, but the claim had little proof supporting it....
The Aaron Judge Hype Is Unstoppable (For Now)
Aaron Judge hit another home run Monday night. It was his 22nd on the year, a dramatic eighth-inning, two-run shot that ended up being the difference for his team. Right now, in his first full season, he’s on pace to win the AL Triple Crown. If he somehow keeps hitting dingers at his current rate, h...
JaVale McGee Is Now A Guy With A Championship Ring
Before the Golden State Warriors signed him, JaVale McGee was a big joke. The 7-foot center had spent his career collecting alley-oops, losing track of his defensive assignments, and committing all manner of horrifying blunders. McGee played well enough for the Nuggets in one playoff series to earn ...
Terrible Columnist Argues Bill Cosby Is Not A Rapist Because She Liked <i>The Cosby Show</i>
Without hyperbole, we have found one of the worst major-newspaper columns since Mark Whicker left the yard....
Kevin Durant Defeated By Beer
Kevin Durant is now a world champion and a Finals MVP. He is also someone who does not appear to understand the proper way to crack some cold ones and get rowdy with the boys....
Kevin Durant Did What He Came To Do
A basketball team with the two best shooters in the world, the best pure scorer in the world, and the most versatile and fearsome defender in the world just won the NBA Finals. They did it while absorbing some of LeBron James’s best punches, and as awe-inspiring as a 16-1 romp through the playoffs m...
Well, This All Sucks
The entire point of sports, and the main reason it’s any fun, is to see what happens. From the moment last summer when the Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant to add to a team that already had three of the, let’s say, 20 best basketball players in the world, we knew what was going to happen. ...
Hat Thief!
A Warriors fan stole Steph Curry’s hat as he headed to the locker room, once again victorious as NBA champion. He wasn’t very happy about it!...
