Curt Schilling Is Convinced He Is Beefing With The Real Sidney Ponson
There are a lot of fake athlete accounts out there on Twitter, because it’s fun to pretend to be Jonathan Broxton or whatever and tweet, “just did a big wet fart.” One of these fake accounts bears the name of former MLB pitcher Sidney Ponson, and last night the owner of the account started a beef wi...

Oh Hey, It's Jim Irsay
It had been 18 days since the end of the season since we’d heard hide or hair of Colts owner Jim Irsay, which was very strange considering the questionable job statuses of coach Chuck Pagano and GM Ryan Grigson, both of whom, after another disappointing season, seemed prime candidates to be replaced...

This morning, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed two lawsuits involving Jameis Winston, finally ending a four-year legal saga.

Double Bird-Toting Chargers Fan Kicked Out Of L.A. Event For Loudly Interrupting Dean Spanos
Chargers owner Dean Spanos held an event in Los Angeles to introduce his team to its new city today.

However, becaus...
Here's The Moment Ivan Rodriguez Found Out He'd Made The Hall Of Fame
Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez was one of three players elected into the baseball Hall of Fame this afternoon. Since-already disclosed ballot returns assured that Tim Raines and Jeff Bagwell would make it, Pudge was the only surprising player elected and he barely cleared the 75 percent bar for entry....
Here Is Your 2017 Baseball Hall Of Fame Class
Thanks to Ryan Thibodaux’s diligent ballot tracking, we already knew that Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines (thank God) were going into the Hall of Fame this year. Now that all of the ballots have been counted, we can see if anyone else will be joining them....
How Did Jorge Posada Become A First-Ballot Hall Of Fame Washout?
Amid the arguing over this year’s Hall of Fame, one of the weirder potential results involves no argument at all. Unless there’s a dramatic and unexpected late break in the voting, Jorge Posada—who as of this afternoon appeared on 10 of 239 known ballots in the ballot tracker—is going to miss the fi...
Paul Finebaum Abruptly Ends Radio Segment After Falling Ill
There was a very strange moment during the Paul Finebaum Show on ESPN radio today. Right in the middle of a segment, host Paul Finebaum had to leave the set after apparently becoming sick....
What FIFA And The Cameroon National Team Are Doing To Joël Matip Is A Travesty<em></em>
Sepp Blatter may have been ousted from the corrupt and labyrinthine bureaucracy he constructed out of the billions of dollars that FIFA funnels in from the world’s love of soccer, but lest you worry that the organization isn’t as perplexingly, exasperatingly stupid as before, we have the case of Liv...

The Chargers' Logo Died On Its Way Back To Its Home Planet
Those were a heady few days, weren’t they, after the Chargers announced their move from San Diego and then soft-launched an L.A. logo that looked like the Dodgers logo stuck its dick in a wall socket. It was mocked by hockey teams, booed by Los Angeles basketball fans, color-swapped and mocked again...
Antonio Brown Is Very Sorry For Doing The Bad Thing
When Antonio Brown decided to livestream from the Steelers’ locker room after their win over the Chiefs on Sunday night, you could see the inevitable backlash from a mile away. It came first from grouchy columnists, then from head coach Mike Tomlin, and now Brown has completed the cycle by issuing a...
Jose Bautista And The Blue Jays Needed Each Other More Than They Were Willing To Admit
In the end, both sides miscalculated. Jose Bautista misread the market for power hitters, and had to settle for what Toronto was offering. The Blue Jays mishandled the slugger they really wanted, and had to settle for the 36-year-old Bautista. It’s not romantic, but it’s a marriage nonetheless: Baut...
Cyclist Takes Nosedive Into A Ravine, Films The Whole Thing
Road cycling season started this week with the Tour Down Under (it’s in Australia, which, duh), and it began without Spanish superstar Joaquim Rodriguez for the first time in 16 years. Rodriguez was waffling on whether or not to ride for Bahrain-Merida, but ultimately decided not to....
