What Weird New Behavior Will Donald Trump Display At The National Championship Game?<em></em>
A year and change into his first term in office, it’s still honestly kind of hard to tell why Donald Trump ran for president. At this point, we know enough about him to assume both 1) that it had nothing to do with any of the reasons he offered on the campaign trail and 2) that it’s probably somethi...
Nick Kyrgios Played Nice And Won
The defining experience of watching Nick Kyrgios play tennis is waiting for his Moment—the bad line call, or double-fault, or unseen internal implosion that irrevocably derails a fine match.

Order The Veggie Burger With Bacon
More often than is smart, I find myself at a bar and desperately in need of sustenance with dwindling options.

LPGA Pro Attempts Phil Mickelson Flop Shot Trick, Brains Caddie
You’ve probably seen the clip of Phil Mickelson hitting one of his famous flop shots over a terrified Dave Pelz, stationed not more than three or four feet from the point of contact.

American Defender Lays Waste To Arsenal In FA Cup First Half
Nottingham Forest’s Eric Lichaj has spent the vast majority of his career in the second tier of English soccer and the fringes of the USMNT.

Steph Curry Went Absolutely Bonkers On The Clippers
By now, Steph Curry highlights are sort of redundant. His very way of playing is a highlight reel: he uses darting dribble moves to create space to launch bombs from insane distances; he plays high-stakes, gambling defense; nearly every pass he throws is a slick no-look job. That’s how you turn a re...

West Ham And Tottenham Trade Back-To-Back Bangers
Early-season basement dwellers West Ham showed some promise and held their own in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham today, but the point they won is mostly thanks to a bit of magic from Pedro Obiang.
