The Warriors Don't Give A Shit About Fergie's Feelings
The Golden State Warriors had a response to Fergie’s ex-husband, Josh Duhamel, calling Draymond Green a “prick” in the form of a semi-choreographed dance. The team celebrated a comeback road victory over the New York Knicks in the locker room with a remixed version of Fergie’s embarrassingly poor re...
Walker Buehler Is A Goddamn Stud
Max Muncy might have been the hero for the Dodgers in the marathon that was Game 3 of the World Series, but rookie pitcher Walker Buehler was the real star. The 24-year-old showed on Friday that he’s ready to be the next great Los Angeles postseason hero in his seven-inning shutout performance....
Fucking Max Muncy Won The Longest World Series Game In History
It’s really tough to feel sympathy for goddamn Red Sox fans, but man. Staying up until 3:30 a.m. eastern time only to see minor-league journeyman and Oakland A’s flameout Max Muncy steal a game Boston should have had five innings earlier has got to be rooooooough....
Fergie's Ex-Husband Calls Out That "Prick" Draymond Green For Laughing At Her Dreadful Rendition Of The National Anthem
Before the start of the 2018 NBA All-Star game, Fergie uncorked a staggeringly bizarre rendition of what was supposedly the national anthem on an unsuspecting public. Like everyone else who heard it, Draymond Green had himself a chuckle, perhaps because he’d just witnessed a lady singing the word “w...
NFL Admits Helmet Hit That Baker Mayfield Complained About Should Have Been Penalized
In the fourth quarter of last weekend’s game against the Buccaneers, Browns QB Baker Mayfield ripped off a 35-yard run. As he began to slide to the turf, Bucs safety Jordan Whitehead zipped to the ball and laid him out with a flying helmet-to-helmet hit. Officials threw a flag for unnecessary roughn...
A Taxonomy Of Calls For Unity In The Hardcore Scene
On Leap Day several years ago, Bold, the hardcore band, played the East Village coke den Lit Lounge’s packed basement in front of a hundred or two hundred people. The band, well into their middle age, hadn’t released a record since 1989, and are best known for punk songs they wrote as teenagers. Sin...
Idiots Are Giving Aliya Mustafina So Much Shit For Returning To Competition After Having A Baby
The Russian gymnast Aliya Mustafina has kept busy after winning the gold medal in the uneven bars at the Rio Olympics. She got married to and split up with bobsledder Alexey Zaytsev, gave birth to a daughter named Alisa in June of 2017, and quickly returned to training. Ten months later, Mustafina ...

Normal Joe Flacco Bought A Mattress From Sean Payton's Brother Down The Jersey Shore
The Saints beat the Ravens on Sunday on the rarest of rarities. So there would’ve been a lot to potentially talk about in the postgame meet-and-greet, but Joe Flacco got right to the important stuff: He needed to let Sean Payton know that Payton’s brother sold him a mattress on the Jersey Shore a fe...
Why Didn't The Raiders See If They Could Get More For Khalil Mack?
The Raiders got a good haul for all-world pass-rusher Khalil Mack, when they traded him to the Bears just before the start of the season. But that doesn’t mean they couldn’t conceivably have gotten a better one. Now there’s a report that says they didn’t even try....
Dolphins Improvise Delightful New Way Of Advancing Upfield
It’s been a funny night in Houston. The Texans were hit with a personal foul for making contact with a long-snapper. Danny Amendola threw a touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins had one of the most insane catches you will ever see nullified by offsetting penalties. But the wildest play of all has to be this ri...
Dolphins Gifted Red Zone First Down On Highly Suspect Illegal Contact Penalty
The NFL’s rules about who can hit who and when, and how, and where, are even more confusing than I thought. Tonight the Dolphins were gifted a first down and half the distance to the goal on a call I’m not sure I’ve ever seen before: a personal foul against the Texans for making contact with, uh, th...
<i>Washington Post</i> Takes Desperate Phony Britt McHenry Seriously, With Embarrassing Results
Britt McHenry—the replacement-level rabble-rouser and laid-off sports reporter most famous for getting caught on video being an entitled asshole to a towing-company employee—has, for some time, been in the process of pivoting to a career in right-wing punditry. Today, the Washington Post Magazine pi...
The Only Thing Left To Do Is Yell About The World Series
This can be said in variously Ken Burns-ian tones and with varying degrees of reverence, but October baseball really is different. There is less of it, for one thing, and the few games that remain are more meaningful and more tense, but also everyone is cold and tired and stressed out. In that sense...
The NFL Actually Fired An Official
Outside of the confusion about roughing-the-passer calls (which falls as much on the diktat from New York as on those tasked with enforcing it), it feels like NFL officiating has generally been pretty good this year—that is to say, it’s been largely unnoticeable. Which made this blatantly missed fal...
Investigation Finds Toxic Culture At Maryland Football, Concludes Program's Culture Isn't Toxic
The Washington Post has gotten its hands on the long-awaited findings of an investigation into the University of Maryland’s football culture, which was spurred by the death of 19-year-old player Jordan McNair during a team workout. The report officially concludes that the team does not have a toxic...

Mike Francesa Rants About Reporter Who Made Fun Of His Expensive App
Mike Francesa’s return to WFAN has been underwhelming, although if you’ll recall what he was doing before he retired for four months, it’s actually in line with the personality of a 60-something radio guy who hates to take direction. The most interesting thing about him right now is a feud he’s star...
<i>Emergency Football Show Weekly</i>: The Eagles’ Super Bowl Hangover
Just a few weeks ago the Eagles were still on top of the football world. They’d won their first Super Bowl in February, and then appeared to reload in the offseason for a shot at another one. The team would be healthier, it seemed; Carson Wentz would be back. They upgraded at a few positions and did...
Jets Say Bilal Powell's Injury Could End His Career
Jets running back Bilal Powell has been placed on season-ending IR after suffering a neck injury that will require surgery, and head coach Todd Bowles says there’s a chance it could be career-ending as well. It happened on a play that didn’t look all that bad at the time, which almost makes it scari...
