Darts Crowd Just Completely Loses Its Shit Over A Perfect Nine-Dart Run
I suppose it’s worth setting up this clip with a bit of context: What you’re about to see is Gary “The Flying Scotsman” Anderson getting 501 with the minimum nine throws during a darts tournament in Blackpool, England. This is essentially the darts version of a perfect game, so you should be impress...
Ignore The Haters, Wearing A Bucket On Your Head At A Baseball Game Can Save Your Life
Picture yourself at a mid-summer baseball game. You’ve had a few cold ones. You’ve polished off the bucket of 24 slimy buffalo wings that you spent $84 on. You’re honestly starting to get a little bored. I’m gonna put this damn bucket on my head, you think. That will spice things up....
Alex Bregman Is <i>Pissed</i> About This Fan Interference Call
The Rockies beat the Astros 3-2 on Charlie Blackmon’s first career walk-off home run, but there was nearly as much drama to be found earlier in the game, when Alex Bregman led off the sixth with what looked like a triple—until the Rockies challenged, and Bregman was called out due to fan interferenc...
Boxing Fans Riot After Local Boy Loses Fight
On Saturday, middleweight Curtis Stevens defeated Carlos Jairo Cruz by stoppage at the end of the fourth round in Cruz’s hometown of Santiago, in the Dominican Republic. Paying fans, who were likely pretty pissed about Stevens’s quick victory, decided that they weren’t ready for the fighting to end ...
Sounds Like Everyone Should Lay Off That Cubs Fan Who "Stole" A Baseball From A Kid
Sunday outrage gives way to Monday fact-checking. If you were one of the people who (reasonably) got very angry at a short video clip appearing to show an adult Cubs fan intercepting a ball meant for a child, you can stand down. The man, it now appears, is a good guy who does not deserve this at all...
LeBron James Murals Around Los Angeles Are Being Vandalized By Lakers Fans
However in the bag Lakers fans might be for young Lonzo Ball, LeBron James joining the Lakers is the first unambiguously positive thing to happen for that organization since Kobe Bryant retired after the 2016 regular season. They’ve been operating in a state of increasing irrelevance since they won ...
Giving A Guy Who Was Racist Online A Standing Ovation To Own The Libs
Josh Hader took the mound for the Brewers Saturday night, his first appearance since the All-Star break, and since the accompanying revelation that Hader’s Twitter account was full of racist and offensive shit, all of it posted when he was a teenager in 2011 and 2012. Hader was masterful against the...

A Few Asshole Tour De France Fans Took It Too Far Today [Update]
Today the Tour de France returned to Alpe d’Huez for the 30th time in race history. Over one million fans packed the slopes of France’s most famous climb to cheer on crowd favorites like Romain Bardet, Tom Dumoulin, and Steven Kruijswijk, but mostly to sing, drink, and wave flags at riders they hate...

Way-Too-Hardcore Toronto FC Supporters Started A Fire In Their Opponent's Stadium [Update]
Some Toronto FC fans went fucking buckwild tonight during their Canadian Championship semifinal match against the Ottawa Fury. The most passionate part of Toronto’s supporters section—where dudes start chants and others wave ridiculously large flags—ignited a casual fire, burning the flags they were...
This Man Tattooed A Soccer Jersey Onto His Torso, Has No Regrets
José Maurício dos Anjos might be the world’s biggest fan of Brazilian soccer club Flamengo. He pumped a liter of ink into his body for them. When was the last time you cared that much about something?...
Tiffany Hayes Steals, Then Scores An Extremely Badass Buzzer-Beater
The Connecticut Sun probably thought they would be the only ones with a buzzer beating opportunity as the clock wound down in their 83-83 game with the Atlanta Dream tonight. But they didn’t factor in the otherworldly range of Dream guard Tiffany Hayes. ...
Antoine Griezmann May Be The Last, Biggest Derrick Rose Fan On Earth
French striker Antoine Griezmann—noted NBA and, specifically, Derrick Rose fan who unfortunately also once painted his entire body black while donning an afro and Harlem Globetrotters uniform—won a World Cup on Sunday. And he played a huge role in the final, delivering the free kick that led to Fran...

Hmm, Maybe We Could Come Up With A Different Way To Praise Athleticism?
By far the funniest thing about Fangraphs contributor Mike Werner’s reaction to video of Billy Hamilton’s insane catch Friday night is the possibility that Werner previously doubted the existence of spider monkeys, and understood this video of Billy Hamilton to be persuasive evidence of their existe...

You Don't Forget Albert Pujols
A striking thing to me, which struck when I went to look up his career stats, was the realization that this is Albert Pujols’s seventh season in Anaheim. That is a long, long time in baseball terms, an entire second career that started at age 32. It’s surprisingly tough to recall his Cardinals heyda...
I Still Love You, England<em></em>
When I adopted England as my team for this America-free World Cup, I figured they would fuck me over by bowing out early, maybe underwhelming in the group stages. Instead, they REALLY fucked me over by making a run, getting my hopes up, and then collapsing against Croatia when they had more than a f...
Man, That's Not How It Works
One of the coolest and rarest things you can experience as a baseball fan is having a foul ball or home run land right in your beer. The reason it’s so cool is because it presents the opportunity to chug the beer with the ball still in the cup while everyone around you hoots and hollers. It’s fun to...
Virtually No One In San Diego Is Listening To Sports Radio Goon Dan Sileo
You may ask, “Who is Dan Sileo?” Reader, you are lucky—and not alone. The ex-Miami Hurricanes football player and sports radio lunk, who has twice been fired for moronic remarks, is drawing in no listeners on the disastrous San Diego radio station 97.3 The Fan....
