We Went To Rural Georgia And Smoked A Ton Of Meat
This week’s episode of Foodspin finds me and Drew in the small town of Unadilla, somewhere in what sure felt like the wilds of rural Georgia, where we visited what can only be described as the compound of famed barbecue master Myron Mixon. (Cue “Dueling Banjos.”) There we learned how to build a pit ...

Steve Kerr Rips Donald Trump And The Whole Damn Election
The Warriors ran the Mavericks 116-95 in Oakland last night, but way more interesting and important were Golden State coach Steve Kerr’s pregame comments on the campaign and the new President-elect: “The man who’s going to lead you has routinely used racist, misogynist, insulting words. That’s a tou...

The Blackhawks Are Hot As Hell
We’re nearly a fifth of the way through the season (already!), and while the Canadiens have the best record, and the Rangers the best goal differential, there is no team hotter than the Chicago Blackhawks. It’s a bit of a surprise, given their roster turnover and the number of unproven young players...

How Long Can You Wear Championship Gear?<em></em>
Hey, it’s Election Day! You should go vote. Unless you forgot to register, in which case it’s probably too late, in which case you are utterly powerless to control the country’s destiny, in which case we may all burn forever as a result of your negligence, in which case you should hide when we come ...

Steph Curry Hits 13 Threes, Breaking Single-Game Record
One game after failing to make a single three-pointer for the first time in 157 games, Steph Curry went crazy on the Pelicans and broke the single-game record by hitting 13 threes. He shot 13-for-17 from three on the evening, and ended up with 46 points in the Warriors win....

Cubs Will Remove Fan Messages From Stadium Walls
Throughout the playoffs, Cubs fans have been writing messages and drawing with chalk on the walls of the team’s stadium (thank you to the tipster who sent us photos of all the nearby dicks they could find scrawled on the ground). The Cubs cleaned everything off when the World Series started, but sin...

The 49ers Did Something Smart Yesterday
The one-win San Francisco 49ers have been seriously unwatchable this year, but they competently pulled off a shrewd play in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. ...

Some Managerial Moves That Probably Won't Matter Much
Fresh off a sub-.500 season, the Colorado Rockies are reportedly replacing Walt Weiss, who managed the team to no higher than a third-place finish in four years, with Bud Black. Although the hiring has yet to be confirmed, several outlets are reporting based on sources close to the issue. This is fi...

Theo Epstein Ate Goat In The Bleachers At Wrigley
Theo Epstein is having a pretty good life. On top of ending a cumulative 194 years of historic championship droughts, Epstein can get whatever meats he wants on demand, and he can eat those meats wherever he damn well pleases....

Paul Pogba Finally Played Like Paul Pogba
Most every great player has a signature move, a thing they do to or with or around the ball that immediately clarifies for you that that one of 10 uniformly colored little blurs out there running with the ball is in fact, say, Arjen Robben and not Philipp Lahm. (In that instance, it’s Robben’s dangl...

Where Is Jared Goff?
Los Angeles fans waited a long time for a football team, but they can’t wait any longer for a competent quarterback. As early as the second quarter, and multiple times in the Rams’ 13-10 loss to the Panthers, the Coliseum crowd struck up the chant: “We want Goff!”...

Rudy Gobert Gives Kristaps Porzingis Some Harsh Life Lessons

Warriors Get Their Asses Kicked Once Again As Steph Curry's Three-Pointer Streak Ends
For their first week of the season, the Golden State Warriors largely looked like another data point to support the theory that new superteams need some time to gel—a blowout loss to the Spurs, followed by wins over the Pelicans and Suns that were far closer than they should have been. But the last ...

Anthony Rizzo Gets Weepy While Introducing David Ross At Victory Parade
This has been a great sports week, and you’ve only got a few hours until all that shit that made you feel good about being a sports fan fades into memory and you return to the office on Monday as the same cynical prick you’ve always been. But before you march back into the gloom, let the Chicago Cub...

Durant Versus Westbrook Was Fun, And Then It Was A Rout
For about nine minutes last night, it looked like the Thunder might beat the Warriors. But then Jerami Grant dunked and screamed in Kevin Durant’s face, Durant went supernova and scored 39 points, and the Warriors won by 26....
