Skins Ban Non-Season Ticket Holders From Using Will Call
I was actively hoping I wouldn’t be writing about Washington’s football team again tonight, but they seem to be unable to keep themselves out of the news. Which would be an admirable trait, if it were ever for something positive. ...
Holy Shit, Usain Bolt
Over the last couple of years, there’s been no reason to think Usain Bolt could be as dominant in Rio as he was in Beijing or London. He’ll turn 30 during those games, for one. For another, he sat out many of the big races since 2013, and lost a lot of time to nagging hamstring troubles last year. T...
Keeper Gets Red Card For Snatching Up, Throwing Out Idiot On The Field
You’d think the ref would have more respect for this fed up keeper who hunts down a pitch invader, grabs him by the back of the shirt, and marches him off the field like a put-upon teacher escorting an unruly student to the principal’s office, but instead of thanks, Mohamed Sokhra only received a re...
Usain Bolt Is Back
Usain Bolt has always been talked about like he’s an elemental being, an athlete not bound to the laws of nature. When he set the world record in the 100 meters for the first time in Beijing, he visibly slowed and celebrated as he crossed the line, costing himself at least 0.1 seconds. He then set a...
Holy Shit, Marco Matias
This goal’s unreal. Sheffield Wednesday forward Marco Matias performs some kind of telekinesis to score a massive goal in today’s match against Leeds United in the Championship, and we’re confident that if a better highlight happens today it’ll have to be a real dick-shitter....
Look At This Dumb Dog That Thinks It Can Play Soccer
Newsflash, buddy: you aren’t people. And soccer’s for people, not dogs....
Reds' Jason Bourgeois Forgets Infield Fly Rule, Strolls Into Double Play
I’ve got nothing but sympathy for Cincinnati outfielder Jason Bourgeois, who killed a potential Reds rally by needlessly breaking for home when he could have stayed safely at third. I know the infield fly rule by heart—and I’d bet Borgeoius does too—but it’s invoked so infrequently, and clashes so s...

Reds Fan Runs On Field, Films Selfie Video, Escapes Ballpark
It could have been the perfect crime. Justin Buchanan, 19, dashed onto the field at last night’s Cubs-Reds game (while filming himself the entire way), tried to say hi to Billy Hamilton, tossed his phone onto the grass over the centerfield wall, hopped the fence, clambered up into the seats, and dis...
Oops, She Did It Again: Dibaba Sets World Record At 1500 Meters
Ethiopian Genzebe Dibaba crushed a field of the world’s best women in the 1500 meter business yesterday, July 17th, at a Diamond League meet in Monaco. She scorched the three-and-a-half lap race in 3:50.07, shaving nearly half a second off Qu Yunxia’s 22-year-old mark of 3:50.46 and improving her ow...
Earthquakes Mascot Sacks Idiot On The Field, Gets Shoved By Opponents
San Jose Earthquakes mascot Q is no stranger to fighting with opponents, and (his?) attempt to tackle an Idiot On The Field after tonight’s International Champions Cup match against Club América earned some pushing and shoving from the Liga MX side’s players who didn’t take kindly to his treatment o...
At The Sports Brand Awards, Brands Tell A Story About Telling Stories
When I walked into Cipriani on 42nd St.—a gorgeous Manhattan event space highlighted by stone archways, Greek columns, and ceilings higher than those of a Renaissance cathedral’s—on Wednesday night, I was greeted by a bank of MacBooks, each manned by a well-dressed young person, their faces glowing ...
David Price Says Seattle's Bullpen Mound Is Dangerous
Yesterday was a throw day for David Price, and with the Tigers on the road in Seattle he used the visiting bullpen at Safeco Field. He wasn’t a fan:...
Idiot On The Field Invades Angels Game, Eludes Security, Throws Pitch
Sunday’s Mariners-Angels game featured an Idiot on the Field who lasted quite a while. The shirtless guy made it from center field to the pitcher’s mound and even pretended to throw a pitch. Security eventually corralled him near the dugout....
US Track & Field Championships Simmering Til Done
Eugene, Ore., where the USA Track & Field National Championship is underway, is gripped in a heat wave. The steamy conditions produce a nice muscle-loosening affect on athletes whose events last less than 60 seconds, but it’s been less accommodating for the distance events. The preliminary rounds of...
CNN Forced To Go To Commercial After "About Fucking Time!" Invasion
CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield delivered same-sex marriage coverage this morning from outside the Stonewall Inn, only to have her live shot quickly abbreviated thanks to a boisterous man who repeatedly hollered, “ABOUT FUCKING TIME! ABOUT FUCKING TIME!” ...
