Cal Is Fucked Because Of Its Stupid Stadium Deal
The University of California-Berkeley first built Memorial Stadium atop their campus in 1923 as a tribute to those who died fighting World War I. It’s one of the most beautiful college football stadiums in the country, a gem perched in the Berkeley Hills that overlooks the East Bay, San Francisco, a...
Sassy LeBron Is Back

Why Is Detroit's City Council Giving Away Free Money To Billionaires?
If you go to the Detroit Pistons’ website, you can buy season tickets for the 2017-18 season, their first in a brand-new arena named after a pizza company.

Preds Fans <i>Really</i> Love Their Hockey
This amorous couple couldn’t contain themselves after Nashville’s 4-1 win over Pittsburgh tonight to even the Stanley Cup Final at two games a piece, showing their love for, uh, hockey behind WSMV’s Chris Harris....
The Warriors Are Math
The old-timey wisdom goes: Basketball is a matchup sport. I think I’ve heard Kenny Smith or various other Kenny Smiths say some version of this more than 200 times in my life. That is, basketball outcomes are not determined neatly along gradients of pure talent and/or skill, but rather by how varyin...
Steph Curry Gave LeBron James The Runaround
It’s sort of hard to crystallize a Warriors attack that could only be described as “relentless”—in both games so far, the Cavs have survived for a half, then understandably given way under a barrage that just doesn’t let up, and comes from so many different angles. (Seriously, how many times did a C...

The Cavs Were Scared Enough Of Steph Curry That They Let Kevin Durant Destroy Them
The Cavs, who have to play perfect basketball to beat the Warriors, did not play perfect basketball last night in Game 1, so they did not beat the Warriors. They turned over the rock 20 times and ceded 27 fast break points, which is not all that shocking given their piss-poor transition defense duri...
David Goffin Retires From French Open Match After Tarp Fucks Up His Ankle
Belgian David Goffin played an excellent clay court season, beating Novak Djokovic in Monte Carlo and pushing Rafael Nadal to a tiebreak in Madrid, and earned the 10-seed at the French Open.

Maybe Being A Celebrity Isn't Cool
You might think being famous seems like a good time, partly because it is cool to be rich and adored and partly because you get to hang out with other famous people. “Look at that sweet pic of those famous people laughing and having a ball together! I wish I was them!” you think while looking at a s...
No Mistakes Allowed
Close one eye and squint with the other, and last night’s Game 1 box score starts to look like a positive one for the Cavaliers: The Warriors only had two players score in double figures; Klay Thompson and Draymond Green combined to shoot 6-of-28; LeBron James and Kyrie Irving did their thing. Open ...
I'm Just Here For The Rihanna-Kevin Durant Feud
After waiting roughly 50 weeks for basketball that was both close and meaningful...we did not get that. We got destruction, a 113-91 Warriors win led by Kevin Durant’s 38-8-8. What we did get was the start of a pretty great athlete-celebrity beef, and neither is going to fold as easily as the Cavali...
How Does Kyrie Irving Do It?
Yeah, the Cavs are barely holding on in a game that’s seeing Cleveland pushed around by the likes of... JaVale McGee? Still, this four-point play by Kyrie Irving is our highlight of the first half....

Beans, Ranked<em></em>
As you know, this site supposedly exists for the sake of juicy sports news and gossip, but what we REALLY do instead is rank random bullshit and start flame wars with those rankings. This week, that means we’re ranking beans. And I don’t mean bean dishes. I’m talking about the actual beans themselve...
