Santiago Casilla Was <i>Pissed </i>About Being Taken Out
Up 4-2, Giants closer Santiago Casilla loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth. And to everybody’s surprise—especially Casilla’s—manager Bruce Bochy came out to give him the hook....
Can Tom Dumoulin Become The Most Unlikely Giro d'Italia Winner Of His Generation?
Cycling’s three-week Grand Tours are a sort of long, slowly unfolding lesson in the truth of Mike Tyson’s prophecy about how everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Every nine-man team charts out how they want their race to go, but 21-stage races are so chaotic that most get dashed ...
People Will Pay Crazy Amounts For Your Early Apple Products
If the proliferation of Mean Girls (released in 2004) memes on the Internet hasn’t convinced you that the nostalgia cycle is faster than ever, consider that early iPods and Apple promotional materials are now being marketed as classic collectors items—with Ebay values rivaling more traditional memor...
Study: Millennials Shouldn't Worry About Peaking Early
If the headline writers at the Harvard Business Review are hip to the concept of trolling, I’d think that was exactly what they were doing with a recent piece on “generational issues” that claims, “The Problem with Millennials? They’re Way Too Hard on Themselves.”...

Orlando Magic head coach Scott Skiles has suddenly resigned, according to the team: ...
The Case Against Pets
Let’s talk about pets. They are made for cuddling. They nuzzle and purr and wiggle. They show their cute little bellies, asking for scratches. When we’re blue, they bring comfort. When they act like silly imbeciles, we make videos of them and share their antics with strangers on the internet. Pets g...

How To Kick Ass During Your Jesus Year
Certain ages have established talking points. At 25, there’s the quarter-life crisis, which is false, but gets you thinking about the banal inexorability of aging. At 27, you talk about rock stars who died before they could get old and embarrassing, because you desperately don’t want to, either. (“G...

Greg Bryant, the 21-year-old former Notre Dame running back working toward a comeback with the UAB Blazers, has died of gunshot wounds he suffered while driving in south Florida early Saturday morning.

Be A Decent Child Today (And Every Day)
Every year’s calendar is predictably laced with holidays, but there is one that has a way of sneaking up on you and then pouncing, like a panther made of guilt: the second Sunday of every May, i.e. Mother’s Day. Despite its repeating pattern, I find myself forgetting it on an annual basis, the way I...

Bartolo Colón Jacks First Career Dong [UPDATE: Now In Spanish]

Giancarlo Stanton Murdered A Baseball
The only thing more shocking than how far Giancarlo Stanton hit this baseball is that it somehow didn’t explode immediately upon contact with the bat. The MLB Statcast-measured numbers: 475 feet, 112.8 mph exit velocity, and 5.5 seconds of hangtime:...
Goran Dragic Just Can't Stop Getting His Face Busted
Heat point guard Goran Dragic took an elbow to the face during last night’s game against the Raptors (and got called for the foul, adding insult to injury), and had to receive eight stitches on his bottom lip before he could return to the game. This is the third time this season that Dragic has gott...
Pro Cyclist Finishes Race On A Fan's Old Mountain Bike
The Tour of the Gila is one of the hardest bike races in North America. Riders have to contend with heat, mountains, thoroughly unglamorous sleeping conditions, and, apparently, kamikaze dogs. Yesterday afternoon during stage 1, Zack Allison of Elevate Cycling crashed into a pile of riders who had f...
What A Silent Retreat Is Like For Someone Who Can't Shut Up
Seriously, I can’t shut up. “Loquacious” would be putting it nicely. “Needy, overwhelming persistence” would probably be more accurate. Hell, it’s why I’m a journalist: because I can’t keep myself from expressing every single utterly useless thought that slips into my head. Although I can fend off t...
Texas A&M Assistant's Twitter Rant About Losing One Recruit Chased Away Another (UPDATED)
One of the grossest things in all of sports is big-time college football recruiting: educational institutions groveling and begging high schoolers to attend, adults directing slush funds towards 17-year-olds, college graduates harassing kids on social media to consider their alma mater. And last nig...
