Today’s English rugby league championship match between Oldham Roughyeds and Rochdale Hornets ended in fisticuffs sparked by a head injury to Rochdale’s Danny Yates—a blow levied by his own teammate’s elbow, left a visible hematoma on Yates’s skull, but one that didn’t keep the scrum-half from enter...

A Scrapbook Of Our Ashley Feinberg Memories On Her Last Day Of School
After nearly five years of blogging and writing for Gizmodo, Gawker, Deadspin, the Special Projects Desk, almost Fusion, and the Special Projects Desk again, senior reporter Ashley Feinberg is leaving for Wired magazine. Here’s how we will remember her. Rest in peace, Ashley....
On The Women's Side, The French Open Is Anyone's
If the men’s winner of the French Open is a certitude—Rafael Nadal looks like a lock for his 10th title at Roland Garros—the women’s side is the opposite. Featuring an injured Simona Halep, the triumphant return of Petra Kvitova, Serena Williams off somewhere growing a human, no Maria Sharapova (co...

Here is a lovely bucket from Deron Williams, in last night’s Eastern Conference clincher between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics:...
Is This The First Time Allen Iverson Has Ever Heard "White Iverson"?
You’re familiar with Allen Iverson, but you may not be familiar with Post Malone, a rapper whose first hit single is called “White Iverson.” Last night, Malone and Iverson met for what appears to be the first time, which was big news for Malone’s fanbase, which I assume mostly consists of dirtbag wh...

Ron Rivera Would Appreciate If You Wouldn't Talk About Kelvin Benjamin Looking Fat
The only consistently good thing about the NFL training camp news cycle are stories about players who may or may not be fat. I wake up every morning in May and June thirsting for grainy or oddly angled photos of football players so that I may spend hours scrutinizing them in an attempt to reach a ve...
These Players Will Not Beat Rafael Nadal: A Largely Pointless French Open Preview
We’re going to proceed on the assumption that Rafael Nadal will (literally) sink his teeth into the French Open trophy, as he has nine times since 2005. ...
Touch The Trophy
Sidney Crosby is maybe the most polarizing superstar the NHL has ever had. (I admit to being a big-time Crosby stan, but I really don’t understand the other side of it. If you can’t appreciate rare greatness, well, what the hell do you even watch sports for?) But I hope we can all come together and ...
Braves Security Guard Snatches Ball From Child
Wednesday night’s broadcast of the Pirates-Braves game featured a cameo by a security guard who takes his job way, way too seriously....
Chris Kunitz Made Sure It Isn't All Over
It was a perfect shot because it was kind of a mess. Chris Kunitz’s double-OT winner to send the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Final fluttered, knuckled its way just past an inadvertent screen, rising the whole time, and found twine above the right shoulder of a wide-eyed Craig Anderson, who was clear...
Pittsburgh Wins Eastern Conference On Chris Kunitz Double-OT Goal<em></em>
There are few things in sports more thrilling than a Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 overtime game, other than a Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 double-OT game. And that’s what we got in Pittsburgh tonight, as the Penguins crushed Ottawan hopes and dreams while answering NBC’s prayers when Chris Kunitz took a...
Maryland Baseball Coach Gets Ejected With Explosive Rant
Maryland baseball coach John Szefc got ejected during a tie game in the eighth inning today after getting pretty heated when one of his players, outfielder Marty Costes, was struck by a pitch. As Costes turned to jog to first, however, the ump called him back—saying that he hadn’t made enough effort...
LeBron James Took Care Of Business
The Cavaliers had zero interest in prolonging what’s seemed to be inevitable since Game 1 here, if not since Game 1 of the regular season. They were going to win the Eastern Conference Finals, and they didn’t want to have to go back to Cleveland to do it—and no one seemed to feel that more strongly ...

It'll Cost You $130 To "Volunteer" At The Women's PGA Championship
That this PGA listing uses the word “volunteer” so often makes it seem like they’re rubbing in the fact that they want suckers to pay to work 16 hours for free at the Women’s PGA Championship. Experience Olympia Fields Country Club in Illinois and get one of the (limited) food and water vouchers!...
