Chelsea Need Just 30 Seconds To Take Lead On Manchester United
Pedro made mincemeat of Man United defense en route to giving Chelsea a 1-0 lead just 30 seconds into their match today at Stamford Bridge. Let’s give Marcos Alonso a hand for the assist, too....
Anti-Hillary Ads From Cubs Ownership Funded Super PAC Air During NLCS
The Chicago Cubs are National League Champions for the first time since 1945, and during the decisive Game 6 that booked their ticket to the World Series, multiple anti–Hillary Clinton ads aired on the national FOX Sports 1 broadcast....
God Bless Bullpen Catchers
Comcast SportsNet Chicago aired lots of compelling footage last night of Cubs players, staff, and fans celebrating their first National League pennant in 71 years, but its most delightful—if that is the right word for it—moment is when bullpen catcher Chad Noble got wet and sticky in his hot dog (Co...
How 90-Year-Old Cubs Fan Plans To Celebrate: "I'll Probably Have A Jägermeister"
90-year-old Cubs fan Dorothy Farrell was a media favorite during the NLCS, and now she’s watched her team win its first N.L. pennant since she was 19 years old. She plans to celebrate exactly the same way every other Cubs supporter will....

Unranked Penn State knocked off #2 Ohio State when Grant Haley scooped up a blocked Buckeyes field goal and took it to the end zone, giving the Nittany Lions a 24-21 win after their defense stopped J.T. Barrett and the Buckeyes offense....
Chicago Cubs Are National League Champions<em></em>
The Cubs just needed to win a game. And so they did, shutting out the Dodgers 5-0 Saturday night to earn a trip to the World Series for the first time since 1945. That was so long ago (how long ago was it?!) that this marks their first ever NLCS win as the World War II-era pennant was a simple matt...
Draymond Green's Taekwondo Skills Are Already In Midseason Form
Draymond “The Human Vasectomy” Green, whose reputation is rooted in his kicking ability as much as it is his actual basketball skills, is back at the martial arts-ing, even in preseason. Here he is last night against the Blazers, leveling his big foot toward Allen Crabbe:...
Roger Goodell: No, It's The Fans Who Are Idiots <em></em>
Roger Goodell is not having a great week. He’s off in the U.K. promoting the NFL’s sub-par football product by way of a team whose kicker was revealed this week to have written “I abused my wife” in journal entries from 2013....

Josh Brown Placed On Commissioner's Exempt List [Updates]
The NFL is suddenly very concerned about Giants kicker Josh Brown, now that the sheriff’s office in King County, Wash. has released documents in which Brown described in his own words how he abused his wife, Molly. The league was less concerned a month ago, when it suspended Brown one game despite t...
The NFL's Private Spooks Made Molly Brown So Nervous She Told Deputies About It
Molly Brown reached out to the King County (Wash.) Sheriff’s Office after being contacted by the NFL’s private investigation firm, which wanted her to talk about the more than 20 times she said her now ex-husband, Giants kicker Josh Brown, abused her. At the time, Molly Brown already was talking to ...
Roger Goodell's Former Babysitter Says He Was A "Sour Child"
Would you believe that as a kid, Roger Goodell sulked and barely showed any signs of happiness? Janet Derby, his former babysitter who now lives in Sudbury, Mass., made that claim....
I'd Watch Javier Baez Read A Book
I watched most of Game 5 of the NLCS in a noisy bar, but it wasn’t the same experience I usually have while watching a game in public. Instead of glancing at the screen every now and then just to check the score while drinking and chatting, I found myself much more concerned with what was happening ...
The Cubs Have To Win A Baseball Game
I read this the other day, a throwaway line that made me do a double take: The Cubs have never won an NLCS. Well, sure they haven’t. League championship series have only been around since 1969, and the Cubs haven’t been to a World Series since 1945. It’s a useless, obvious bit of trivia—barely a fac...
Giants Sign Kicker Robbie Gould
Josh Brown will not travel with the New York Giants to London for their game against the Rams this weekend. In a statement released today, the team said that they “remain supportive of Josh and his efforts,” but would “revisit” his case after the London game. His contract situation is unclear at the...
Here's Bobby Valentine Lovingly Wiping Crumbs Off Tommy Lasorda's Mouth
Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda recently got out of the hospital in time to attend Game 3 of the NLCS. He’s at Game 5 tonight, sitting next to Bobby Valentine, who was nice enough to assist him with a stray bit of food....
The NFL Always Had Access To The Josh Brown Documents<em></em>
Even before yesterday’s release of documents by the sheriff’s office in King County, Wash. in which New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admits in his own words that he abused his then-wife Molly, there was very similar evidence in his divorce file—a publicly available document that anyone could get. A...
Celtics Fan Enjoys Himself
I’m usually unimpressed by the dinguses who do wacky things behind the broadcast table at NBA games, but I have to admit that this dude’s routine during last night’s Knicks-Celtics game made me chuckle:...
Jimmy Howard Basically Won A Game By Himself
If you were stuck in one of those obstructed-view seats at MSG last night and couldn’t see either net, it probably looked to you like the Rangers dominated the Red Wings. Well I hate to be the one to break this to you (honestly I’m surprised you didn’t find out before now, or even pick up on the myr...
Did The MLB Replay Booth Just Cost The Dodgers A Run?
Adrián González tried to run on Jason Heyward in the second inning tonight. Heyward’s throw took a hop, and barely arrived on time, but the umpire determined that Willson Contreras’s tag got González on the jaw before his left hand grazed home plate....
