The Ballad Of The Fake Dodgers Bear Mascot

The great thing about baseball is that even after 150 years, you can watch a game and see something you've never seen before. Last night was one of those games.

Reminder: Betting On Big NFL Favorites Is Always Dumb

Reports: Adrian Peterson's 2-Year-Old Beaten, "Not Expected To Survive"

Adrian Peterson's 2-year-old son—not Adrian Peterson Jr., but a formerly "secret" child—is "not expected to survive his injuries," and could be taken off life support tonight, City Pages reports.

Major Wright–But <em>Not</em> Terrance Williams–Sued For African Diamonds Loan

So, which is the better story here? TMZ's report that Bears safety Major Wright's diamond trading company is being sued for not repaying a loan that carries 100 percent interest?

Why Your Cardinals Suck

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates last night, because the Cardinals don't like it when another team like the Pirates or Nationals dares to threaten their self-appointed status as America's Baseball Sweethearts.

Dan Snyder is that rare person who comes off as even more despicable when he's trying to be thoughtful than when he's just openly being a prick. Case in point: this hilariously tone deaf open letter to "Everyone in our Redskins Nation" (kind of like a reservation!) in defense of the team's nickname,...

You're not a nutcase, so I probably don't need to tell you, but: Don't fucking do what these Texans fans reportedly did....

There's almost no way the USMNT can earn a top seed at the World Cup: The top eight seeds for Brazil will be decided by this month's FIFA rankings, where the U.S. currently sit 13th.

What The Heck Was Joe Maddon Doing Last Night?

If he were anyone else (and the box score looks like a Tony La Russa special), the Rays manager would be getting flayed this morning. But everybody loves Joe Maddon, and his magnum opus of overmanaging in the Rays' 5-4 win over Boston somehow came back around to directly stave off elimination. That ...
