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 ...
Sweden Beat France On 50-Meter Goal With Seconds Remaining
Ola Toivonen took advantage of a Hugo Lloris blunder as the Swedish striker (who plays in Ligue 1) hammered in a strike from midfield while the French keeper scrambled, and failed, to stop it as the clock expired on stoppage time at Friends Arena in Stockholm....
Unredacted Police Report: Tiger Woods Told Cops He Was On Xanax At Time Of Arrest
An unredacted police report obtained by the Golf Channel from Tiger Woods’s DUI arrest last week shows that after being pulled over, Woods told officers that he had taken Xanax....
Olivier Giroud Golazo Gives France Short-Lived Lead
Olivier Giroud is no stranger to magnificent goals, and his half-volley bender to put his France side up 1-0 on Sweden today ranks up there with the best of them. (Perhaps in shock, the Frenchmen surrendered a Jimmy Durmaz equalizer minutes later.)...
Steve Kerr Lays On The Sarcasm Toward Former NBAers Who Think They'd Beat The Warriors
The Golden State Warriors are the best NBA team of all time. So naturally, ex-NBA guys are popping up everywhere to claim that they—unlike the Cavaliers, featuring three superstars including one of the two greatest NBA players ever—could have beaten the Warriors....
Christian Pulisic Is Restoring My Faith In U.S. Soccer
There was, I must admit, a moment there before the start of last night’s crucial USA vs. Trinidad and Tobago World Cup qualifier when I thought it would be better if the U.S. blew the match and the next couple and wound up missing out on next summer’s World Cup....
