Baltimore High Schools Sick Of Getting Whupped By Football Coach Who Spends Millions On His Team
Can too much charity be a bad thing? The Baltimore prep sports scene seems to be on the verge of unraveling with the emergence of a parochial powerhouse, funded by a head coach with apparently massive financial means and the desire to make schoolboy football the focus of his philanthropy....
Multiple Women Say They Were Sexually Abused By Their Legendary Equestrian Coach
The New York Times published a story yesterday, part of which was first reported last month by the Chronicle of the Horse, in which multiple women allege they were sexually abused by a once-legendary equestrian coach. That coach was Jimmy A. Williams, a man so important to the sport that at one poin...
Dereck Rodriguez, Son Of Pudge, Hits The Big Leagues
It is the year of the baseball sons. With Vlad Guerrero Jr. due up later this year (and set to ascend to Cooperstown shortly thereafter) and Bo Bichette and Cavan Biggio also making their ways up through the Blue Jays’ system, the scions of ‘90s–2000s MLB royalty are starting to hit the big leagues....
Kyle Gibson's Slider Is The Sneakiest Pitch In Baseball
Minnesota Twins starter Kyle Gibson didn’t get the win in his seven innings of shutout work Tuesday night against the Royals—the final score was 2-1, Kansas City, in 14 innings—but he did get another opportunity to show off his glorious slider, a strikeout pitch that’s been better at getting swings ...
The Blue Jays Have Reached The "Russell Martin, Utilityman" Point Of The Season
Russell Martin has been a fine Major Leaguer for a long time, but the 2018 version of Russell Martin is not, by the numbers, the sort of player that a team absolutely needs to squeeze into the lineup unless things have gone terribly wrong. This isn’t yet true for the middling Toronto Blue Jays, who ...

Rudy Giuliani Celebrates 74th Birthday By Getting Booed By Yankees Fans
Today is Rudy Giuliani’s birthday. The former New York City mayor and lifelong buffoon and current lawyer to Donald Trump decided to put on a Yankees cap and a World Series ring and head on down to the Bronx to celebrate the big 7-4 by taking in an Astros-Yankees afternoon game. So how’d it go? ...
Is There Nothing That Pablo Sandoval Cannot Do?
Pablo Sandoval made his first career start at second base Sunday night, against the Chicago Cubs. Evan Longoria has supplanted him at third, but Giants manager Bruce Bochy apparently wanted Sandoval’s bat in the lineup with Buster Posey hurt, and the opening was at second base, where regular starter...
Reports: Dislocated Shoulder Could Knock Mohamed Salah Out Of The World Cup
Saturday’s Champions League final was a feverish, spectacular affair featuring memorable feats of athleticism, an even more memorable all-time boner, and a perfectly timed idiot on the pitch. The match was pretty significantly marred, though, by a first half injury to world-destroying goal-bot Moham...
Enjoy Chris Froome's Stunning Attack At The Giro d'Italia Now, Because It Might Get Taken Away

Ole Miss Pitcher Gifts Opponent Game-Tying Runs After Momentarily Forgetting How To Throw A Baseball
Ole Miss had a golden opportunity to take a 3-1 lead into the ninth inning of today’s SEC Tournament elimination game against Georgia.

Saquon Barkley Might Be Worth It, If The Giants Take A Page From The Patriots
We all had a good time dunking on Giants GM Dave Gettleman a few weeks back, after Gettleman didn’t hesitate to draft running back Saquon Barkley before shaking his cane at all the analytics eggheads who questioned the long-term value of selecting a running back with the No. 2 overall pick. It’s tru...
The Rays Are Making History With Strange New Pitching Strategies
The Rays announced last week an extremely unusual, cosmic-brain plan for the immediate future of their pitching rotation: rather than the traditional approach of deploying a starting pitcher to work through the opposing lineup a few times before yielding to the bullpen, manager Kevin Cash decided to...

Legendary Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon was substituted out at about the hour mark of today’s match against Verona. The appearance will be the last in Buffon’s incredible 17-year run at Juventus. As you can imagine, it was an emotional moment:...
Elfrid Payton's Hair Has Been Laid To Rest
Through all those tough years in Orlando to his current stint in Phoenix, the most notable feature of Elfrid Payton’s game has been his head. Not his “basketball IQ” or his “clutch mentality”—just that majestic drooping frond on top. Every season it protruded further past the point guard’s forehead....
