Kyrie Irving Is Sorry For Ironically(?) Perpetuating The Flat Earth Theory

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving has something of a confession: He was not totally serious about being a big-time flat Earth guy, even though he spent a lot of time playing the part of a fake-deep intellectual. At a panel today, Kyrie blamed an algorithm-fueled YouTube binge for his incorrect belie...

Todd Bowles Hates Risk, Loves Meaningless Field Goals And Punts<em></em>

Was it really only three weeks ago that the Jets thumped the Lions on Monday Night Football? Did that win, which ushered in that unfamiliar sensation of honest-to-goodness hope, actually happen this season? The Jets haven’t won since, and Sunday’s 31-12 loss at the Jaguars was a total fartbomb that ...

The Last Two Minutes Of The AFL Grand Final Were Thrilling Even If You Don't Know What You're Looking At<em></em>

Here’s two minutes of suspense that can be enjoyed with no context or understanding of Australian rules football. Big boys scrabble for ball. They boot the ball. They boot the ball in between posts. It’s hard not to get riled up by an Australian hollering, “He’s got the most impossible goal,” or by ...

All You Need Is Spite: A Very Emotional NHL Season Preview

Boys and girls and babes, we all learned so much during the 2017–2018 NHL season. For example, I learned that chaos rules the universe, sports predictions are horoscopes but less accurate, and hockey games are won by pure, defiant, you-said-I-couldn’t-do-it spite and very little else....

Alvin Kamara Never Goes Backwards

Saints running back Alvin Kamara doesn’t look like one of those dense orbs of muscle and tendon that you expect to dish out a great deal of harm to anyone who tries to tackle him. You look at a human medicine ball like LeGarrette Blount, each of whose limbs appear to weigh 200 pounds, and you natura...

Sloane Stephens Feuds With Opponent: "Fucking Bitch Tried To Hit Me"

In the very first round of the China Open on Sunday, a new baby beef was slapped on the grill. Down 2-5 on return in the second set against Sloane Stephens, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova called for the physio to treat her right shoulder. The timing of that request—down two breaks, with the set on the opp...

What If The Eagles Just Stink?

PHILADELPHIA — It is a sad Monday morning here. Workers head to the office looking dejected. The birds aren’t chirping like they usually do. The Liberty Bell is cracked. The Eagles are 2-2....

Even In Victory, Jon Gruden Is Haunted By His Dumbass Choices

NFL.com’s Mike Silver wrote up a piece about Raiders head coach Jon Gruden to mark the man’s first NFL victory of the season. The story is kind to Gruden, but it does kick off with a lead that is bursting with schadenfreude:...

Mike Vrabel Showed Brains And Balls

The Titans knocked off the defending champs, 26-23 in overtime, with a bit of aggressiveness straight out of the Eagles’ playbook. On the winning drive, Tennessee marched 75 yards in 16 plays, converting on three different fourth downs along the way. The third of the three will go down as an early s...

Doug Marrone Has Been Waiting Four Years To Stick It To The Jets

The Jaguars beat the Jets 31-12 on Sunday, and it was about as one-sided as an NFL game gets. Jacksonville nearly tripled New York in yards from scrimmage, and nearly doubled their time of possession. But it wasn’t quite enough for Jags head coach Doug Marrone, who sent his team out to go for two in...

Bullshit Overturned First Down Helps Raiders Beat Browns In Overtime

Dirk Koetter Calls For His Own Firing After Bears Humiliate Bucs

Thanks to the atrocious defense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mitch Trubisky looked like the savior of Chicago in the Bears’ 48-10 win this afternoon. Going for 354 yards passing, 53 yards rushing, and six touchdowns, Trubisky absolutely torched the now 2-2 Bucs, helping put a definitive end to Tampa...

A Ridiculously Gutsy Fourth-Down Failure Gifted The Texans A Win Over The Colts

Look, I’m all for going for it on fourth down, and there’s a large part of me that has tremendous respect for Colts coach Frank Reich’s bold decision-making in overtime of Indy’s game against the Texans today. But with just 27 seconds left in a tie game, and the ball on your own 43, facing fourth-an...

Tyler Eifert Goes Down With Gruesome Leg Injury

Early in the third quarter of a shootout between the Bengals and Falcons, Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert caught a short pass from Andy Dalton and had his right leg ruined in sickening fashion as he was brought down for the tackle. (Consider this your warning on the video posted below.) Eifert, who’s...

Bill Belichick On Dolphins Apparent Fake Injury: "That's Fucking Bullshit"<em></em>

Hey, Give Him Some Time

Tyler Eifert Scored A Touchdown And Chugged A Beer

The Falcons’ secondary is porous, but scoring a TD on any team is a perfectly fine occasion to crack open a beer. The Bengals’ Tyler Eifert obviously didn’t have a cold one near the end zone, but that didn’t stop him from improvising with the football to pay tribute to Stone Cold Steve Austin with h...
