Good News: This Avocado-Wielding Bodega Assailant Is Actually Not An Independent-League Baseball Player
If you enjoy news about avocados, daily life in the Bronx, or unorthodox objects used as weaponry—or any combination of the above—you’re likely familiar with the video clip below.

Wow The Golden Knights Are Going To Be Bad
There are two schools of thought when compiling an expansion team.

Another is to be as awfu...
Here Are Your 2017-18 Vegas Golden Knights

Krushing The Krusher's Nuts
The first thing I did when I got to Vegas was put a bet on Sergey Kovalev. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time. You might say, “How could you bet against Andre Ward? One of the most polished pound-for-pound fighters in the world? An Olympic gold medalist? A world champion at two differe...
Why Did The Red Wings Expose Petr Mrazek?<em></em>
While I’m still unenthused about the idea of the new Vegas Golden Knights actually playing their games, I’ve been giddy as hell about the drama surrounding the expansion draft.

The list of players protected from Wednesday’s draft to stock the expansion Vegas Golden Knights is out, and conversely—and most importantly—the list of unprotected players.

Andre Agassi Will Coach Novak Djokovic At The French Open
Andre Agassi, the eight-time Grand Slam winner who has largely kept his distance from the tour since retiring in 2006, is about to take on his first-ever coaching project: the slumping Novak Djokovic. The world No. 2 revealed this new partnership after his loss to Alexander Zverev in the Italian Ope...
Cesc Fàbregas Really Does Have Eyes In The Back Of His Head
If you’ve ever wondered how the world’s most spatially aware players always seem to know exactly where everyone is on the pitch at all times, then this video of Cesc Fàbregas and his rubber neck should go a long way towards explaining that yes, these guys truly can see everything at all times:...
Derek Carr: People That Don’t Follow Raiders After Move To Las Vegas Aren’t True Fans
