I Already Feel Bad For Adam Gase
Quarterback whisperer Adam Gase was the hottest name on the NFL coaching market the last couple of years.

Chihuahuas Come Up With Physics-Defying Groundout
I learned a new baseball rule tonight thanks to the Las Vegas 51s and the El Paso Chihuahuas. In the top of the seventh inning, 51s first baseman Eric Campbell fouled one towards the dugout. Thing is, he hit it with such a serious curve that it sliced right back into play before it passed first base...
Las Vegas NHL Team Is Going To Choose Some Bland-As-Hell Name
It’s probably time to accept that the name of the Las Vegas expansion NHL team will not be good. It will be boring, which at least is not actively bad, and then, within a few decades (if the team is still there), it will have the power of inertia behind it and you won’t even think about it anymore. ...

Raiders Apply For "Las Vegas Raiders" Trademark, Release Stadium Renderings
None of this means a Raiders’ move is any closer to reality—we already know Mark Davis wants a new stadium or to get the hell out of Oakland, and the mean ol’ NFL won’t let him go to Los Angeles, and he doesn’t have to money to build a new place on his own—but these are two moves that, if the Las Ve...
Nick Diaz Got Into An "Insane Melee" In A Club Bathroom
After Nate Diaz’s split decision loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 202 over the weekend, the Diaz boys have spent this week unwinding.

Report: Las Vegas NHL Team Will Be Boringly Named After Some Kind Of Hawk, Or Some Other Kind Of Hawk (IMPORTANT ORNITHOLOGICAL CORRECTION)
The Las Vegas NHL expansion team, set to begin play in 2017, still needs a name. Owner Bill Foley wanted “Black Knights;” West Point wasn’t cool with that. So Foley’s got some other ideas, and they’re varying degrees of uncreative....

Minor League Teams, Managers Brawl In Front Of Hundreds Of Kids On Camp Day
This basebrawl, which went down between the Reds’ and Marlins’ single-A affiliates last week (with video only emerging yesterday), is already an excellent one: Roundhouse punches everywhere, coaches and managers raining blows on each other, total chaos. It’s made even better for having taken place o...
