The Most Blake Bortles Play Blake Bortles Ever Bortled
The Jaguars entered this season with expectations of contending for a playoff spot. Instead, after a 24-21 loss to the Texans, they’re 2-7 and haven’t won a game in a month. It’s been a grim season, but thankfully Blake Bortles is dedicated to supplying his fans with much needed dosages of slapstick...
Trump's Transition Team Is Just Now Learning What A President Does
It’d be an understatement to say that Donald Trump isn’t exactly prepared for the task at hand. And we already know that he “didn’t want to jinx himself” with too much preparation pre-win. According to a source closely connected to the Trump transition team, though, the reality of the situation is w...
The USMNT Lost To Mexico And Everything Was All Right
Since they were first unveiled, I’ve had highly mixed feelings about the design of the 2016 USMNT jerseys, especially the road uniform. Someone at Nike decided the iconic red, white, and blue was passé and needed a black-and-maroon makeover. Why, who knows? The flag, perhaps, just isn’t cool enough....
The Cowboys Are Dak Prescott's Now
The Cowboys played this perfectly, and got lucky, but there is now no question that Dak Prescott is their starting quarterback. Tony Romo practiced fully this week, and is healthy enough to play for the first time since breaking his back in preseason, but come Sunday against Baltimore, he’ll be hold...
Can Ghirmay Ghebreslassie Upend The Conventional Wisdom Of Pro Marathoning?
Ghirmay Ghebreslassie won the NYC Marathon in 2:07:51, but what received almost as much attention as his dominance of the competition was his extreme youth. The Eritrean turns 21 today, which makes him the youngest man to ever win the NYC Marathon. Considering most top marathoners peak between 29 an...
The Grim Future Of Labor Under Trump

Rob Gronkowski Said This Was The Hardest He's Ever Been Hit
In the second quarter of the Seahawks’ win over New England, TE Rob Gronkowski took a hell of a shot from safety Earl Thomas:...
One Step Back Helped Kam Chancellor Foil The Patriots' Last Play
There’s something pleasant about sports displaying symmetry; it’s a reassurance, however misleading, that we aren’t devoting so much of our lives to a random number generator. The ending of Seahawks-Patriots looked a lot like the ending of Super Bowl XLIX: It came down to a goal-line stand, the defe...
Donald Trump Names His Most Racist-Friendly Advisor To Be Chief White House Strategist<em></em><em></em>
For anyone who voted for Donald Trump hoping that, once safely in office, he would begin a move towards respectability and away from the white-supremacist leanings that won him the highest office in the land: I’m sorry, dear reader, but you have been played. ...

Larry Fitzgerald Taken To Locker Room After Landing Backwards On His Neck [Update]
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald made his 1,079th career reception today against the San Francisco 49ers, passing Terrell Owens on the all-time list.

Jay Cutler Ends First Half With Hail Mary
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s game against the Buccaneers did not get off to a good start, with two interceptions (one a pick-six) in the first quarter. But he took a pretty nice step toward redeeming himself with a Hail Mary to finish off the first half:...
The Best Fight At UFC 205 Happened In The Crowd
Here’s some video from last night’s UFC 205 event at MSG. You can tell by the music that it’s just as Conor McGregor entered the arena, and it’s a lovely brawl. Reader Jason shot it, and we’re happy to actually have UFC video we can use for once. ...
Titans Start Game With Failed Onside Kick
The Green Bay Packers had the first offensive possession against the Tennessee Titans today, so instead of a kickoff punt, the Titans tried an onside kick instead. The Packers recovered it anyway, and began their first drive just inside the Titans territory. The onside kick could have come back to h...
Keep It In The Toilet: Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL
It’s like the NFL has a checklist of possible fuck-ups and self-inflicted public-relations disasters, and they make a point of marking as many items as possible each week. This pattern makes disliking the NFL easy and fun, if you’re interested in giving it a shot....
Iowa Fan Arrested For Public Intoxication Thought She Was At Iowa State Game That Didn't Exist
Unranked Iowa’s upset win over #3 Michigan yesterday was worth celebrating. But some people took it a little too far, and University of Iowa police had to make game-day arrests for the first time since September. (The campus that gave us Vodka Samm has had plenty of game-day citations since Septembe...
Conor McGregor Won And He's Not Going To Fucking Apologize
Conor McGregor has pissed off a lot of people, which is generally what happens when you talk a lot of shit and throw drinks and do other things of that nature. So in his first act after becoming the only UFC fighter ever to hold two belts at the same time—now adding a lightweight title to his feathe...
Iowa Knocks Off Michigan With Game-Ending Field Goal
On a day that saw second-ranked Clemson and fourth-ranked Washington tally their first losses of the season, Michigan decided to join in the fun by losing to Iowa as Hawkeyes kicker Keith Duncan pounded in a 33-yard field goal as time expired to give his team a 14-13 win. It’s the first time in more...
