Rob Manfred Hints At Meeting With Indians Ownership To Discuss Racist Logo [Update]
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made an appearance on ESPN’s Mike & Mike yesterday to shoot the shit about the World Series.

When Rome Fell, Some Barely Noticed And Some Were Murdered By Rampaging Hordes

Mike Francesa Sounds Pretty Flummoxed About Yankee Stadium's New Breast Pump Stations
Mike Francesa is skeptical of Yankee Stadium installing breast pump stations, because the stadium is a place for baseball, not nursing. Who knew the two were mutually exclusive. The best part of this video is the five seconds of silence at the end, after Francesa circles back to the breast pumps....
I Respectfully Disagree With Aaron Lynch's Assessment Of The 49ers
I think it’s a good thing for athletes to express confidence in their own team and abilities, and given how many bad teams there are in the NFL, I can kind of see how 49ers linebacker Aaron Lynch could convince himself that his 1-6 squad is actually good and not bad. ...

Ted Cruz Calls Colin Kaepernick A Spoiled Knucklehead
Ted Cruz, whose face is all moist surfaces and uncanny angles and about a third too much skin, will be remembered as the cuck who said to the American people, “Please elect the man who called my wife ugly and implied that my father murdered JFK as the next president of the United States. I’m a puddi...
BYU Pick-Six A Masterful Display Of Avoiding Tackles
Fred Warner picked off a Brett Rypien pass and returned it 59 yards to give BYU its first touchdown of the night against Boise State, and he did so with so much flair it required a lengthy replay review—one that, eventually, upheld the play....
Here's Bobby Valentine Lovingly Wiping Crumbs Off Tommy Lasorda's Mouth
Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda recently got out of the hospital in time to attend Game 3 of the NLCS. He’s at Game 5 tonight, sitting next to Bobby Valentine, who was nice enough to assist him with a stray bit of food....
Debate Prep Is Hard<em></em>
As a celebrity, he had a history of saying improper things, and he was in trouble following a leaked tape of himself at his most offensive. As a candidate, he never seemed to stick to a script, and he’d often contradict himself. And yet professionally unserious Kinky Friedman was running a serious c...
Cleveland Didn't Even Need A Starter Last Night<em></em>
Losing your starting pitcher two outs into a playoff game is supposed to be a nightmare for any manager, but all it meant for Terry Francona last night was that he got to put the game into the hands of a bullpen that has yet to fail him....
White Sox Fan Frank Kaminsky Owns The Cubs
Frank Kaminsky is a White Sox fan and he apparently isn’t one to celebrate his city’s other team’s success. To express his displeasure, he’s decided to wear a custom Steve Bartman jersey around the city. He rocked it on a rooftop last night, then wore it to the Bulls’ arena before the Hornets’ game ...
The Colts Ended A Dumb Streak In A Dumb Way
Who was the last Indianapolis Colts player to have at least 100 rushing yards in one game? Just kidding, there’s absolutely no reason to know that, but it was Vick Ballard in Week 15 of the 2012 season. Last night, Frank Gore finally snapped the streak. Then unsnapped it. Then resnapped it....
Who Was Really Expecting Colin Kaepernick To Talk About Football?
The San Francisco 49ers got absolutely stomped by the Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon, allowing three touchdowns in the fourth quarter for a final score of 45-16, sending the hapless 49ers home with a 1-5 record. No one outside of Buffalo really cared about that, though....
Norwegian Soccer Commentators Shocked And Horrified By San Marino Equalizer
The unabashed homers on Norwegian TV reasonably expected a comfortable win against little ol’ San Marino in Norway’s World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. Instead of getting to channel their inner Elated Tiziano Crudeli, they were forced into Distraught Tiziano Crudeli mode when San Marino tied the game a...
Colin Kaepernick's Contract Just Went From Bad To Worse
When Colin Kaepernick signed his “$126 million” contract with the San Francisco 49ers in 2014, he was already giving them a remarkable amount of concessions for how successful he was at the time. Now that he’s reworked the terms of his contract, as was reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter last night, hi...
Two Soccer Guys Take Showboating To Whole New Level By Dabbing In Middle Of Game
The post-goal dab celebration is nearly ubiquitous on soccer pitches the world over. Langelihle Ndlovu and Pule Mmodi, members of the Free State Stars’ reserve team in South Africa, took it up a notch by each deciding to hit the dab during open play, an in-your-face effrontery that even Neymar would...
