Kevin Durant Defeated By Beer
Kevin Durant is now a world champion and a Finals MVP. He is also someone who does not appear to understand the proper way to crack some cold ones and get rowdy with the boys....
Kevin Durant Did What He Came To Do
A basketball team with the two best shooters in the world, the best pure scorer in the world, and the most versatile and fearsome defender in the world just won the NBA Finals. They did it while absorbing some of LeBron James’s best punches, and as awe-inspiring as a 16-1 romp through the playoffs m...
Well, This All Sucks
The entire point of sports, and the main reason it’s any fun, is to see what happens. From the moment last summer when the Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant to add to a team that already had three of the, let’s say, 20 best basketball players in the world, we knew what was going to happen. ...
Hat Thief!
A Warriors fan stole Steph Curry’s hat as he headed to the locker room, once again victorious as NBA champion. He wasn’t very happy about it!...
The Warriors Are Victorious
It seems, in retrospect, absurd to think that this game was ultimately decided by single digits. There was never really a point in the second half of Game 5 when it seemed reasonable to believe that Cleveland could win—this was only ever Golden State proving that this team is as historically great a...
Ahh, It's Beautiful
David West’s passionate moment with Tristan Thompson touched us all....
Look At The No. 3 Overall MLB Draft Pick's Ridiculous Foot
The San Diego Padres had the third pick in this evening’s MLB Draft. They chose MacKenzie Gore, who is a pitcher from North Carolina born in 1999. Gore’s first and last names are both cool, but that’s not why we’re here in this blog post. No, the important thing to note here is his foot. Look at tha...
Being A Bandwagon Warriors Fan Is Fun
After Super Bowl XLVII, I was inconsolable over the 49ers’ pants-pissing loss (I’m too young to remember the golden years), and the Giants’ post–World Series Opening Day seemed very, very far away. Bored and kind of depressed about the 49ers (if only I had known how much worse it could get), I began...
Gary Player Is Still Out Here Roasting Fools
The real golf tradition unlike any other is players complaining that the U.S. Open course is too hard. Notoriously, in 2015, it was Chambers Bay in Washington, where all the big names lined up to trash the greens. The great Gary Player, invited there to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his career G...
The Cavaliers Can't Win Game 5. Or Can They? (No) (But Maybe)
A fun artifact of the past sports year—in which the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead with home-court advantage in the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Indians blew a 3-1 lead with home-field advantage in the World Series, and the Atlanta Falcons blew a 25-point second-half lead in the Super Bowl—is th...
Internal Memo Instructs Pac-12 Networks Employees On How To Avoid Talking About Luke Heimlich
Last week, the Oregonian reported that Oregon State’s star pitcher Luke Heimlich was charged in 2012 with repeatedly molesting a six-year-old family member throughout 2011. Heimlich, who was 15 when he was charged and pleaded guilty, is one of the best pitchers in the nation and has led his powerhou...
Golfer Complains Golf Course Is Too Hard
Ah, it’s that time of year, when the golfers playing in the U.S. Open complain about how hard the golf course is. Last year, golfers called Oakmont “brutal.” The year before, they slammed the greens at Chambers Bay. This year, the shaggy fescue at Erin Hills in Wisconsin is the problem. Kevin Na to...
Kevin Durant Made No Sense While Denying A Report About Him And Draymond Green
One day before Game 4 of the NBA Finals, ESPN’s Zach Lowe published an article about how the Golden State Warriors moved on from blowing a 3-1 lead in last year’s Finals. The piece specifically focused on Draymond Green’s Game 5 suspension and how the Warriors chose to stand behind Green rather than...
Penguins Fans Celebrate Stanley Cup Victory By Eating Raw Catfish
Penguins fans celebrated last night’s Stanley Cup victory the way most fanbases do: by gathering in the streets and getting rowdy. Some fans were a little wilder than others, and by “wilder” I mean “more willing to consume mashed-up raw fish.”...
Michael Bradley Scores From Long Range To Put U.S. Up 1-0 On Mexico
¡GOLAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!...
It Looks Like Zaza Pachulia Will Not Be Suspended For Whacking Iman Shumpert's Dick And Balls
Lump-headed potato man Zaza Pachulia will not be disciplined by the NBA for attempting to punch Iman Shumpert in the dick and balls in Game 4, according to various reports....
Look At This Flying Dog Go!
The description says this dog’s name is Ruby, and that she’s a Hungarian Vizsla, and that she’s four years old. I have an alternative theory: her name is Super Dog, and she is a Super Dog. And possibly she is four years old....
It Takes A Village To Beat The Warriors
After charring the bones of the Cavaliers during the first three games of the NBA Finals and every other playoff opponent before them, the Golden State Warriors finally lost. The dream of 4-4-4-4 is dead and the Warriors now hold the most dangerous lead in sports. ...
The Warriors Now Have A 3-1 Lead But Awful Officiating Is Not To Blame
Friday night’s Game 4 was barely underway before the uneven performance of the officials took center stage. Here, for example, are some tweets from Mary Babers—who is Draymond Green’s mom:...
Draymond Green On Clevelanders: "They Don't Seem To Be The Sharpest People Around"
Cleveland trounced Golden State tonight 137-116 in a record-setting win that kept the Warriors from sweeping the playoffs, but the real story of the game is Draymond Green’s magically-disappearing technical foul. His continued eligibility after what fans and most viewers thought was a disqualifying ...
