This Week In Jeff Fisher Refusing To Blame His Quarterback
I’d like to apologize to you on behalf of sports if you watched yesterday’s 9-6 Rams win over the Jets, a game that seemed absolutely destined to be a tie and didn’t end up with even that novelty to recommend it. The Jets are so unwatchable that they flexed Tom Brady out of primetime, but let’s not ...
Gifts For Golden State Warriors Fans
The Golden State Warriors went 73-9 during the 2015-16 NBA regular season, only to see their championship aspirations dashed in the Finals, where they blew a 3-1 lead to LeBron James’s Cleveland Cavaliers....
Warriors And Suns Enact Humanity's Doomed Search For Meaning<em></em>
The Warriors beat the Suns 133-120 tonight, but the game wasn’t entirely the display of offensive efficiency suggested by that final score. Here’s a sequence of abject futility and a metaphor for the human condition in 2016—saved, as we are always, by Stephen Curry....
Philip Rivers Throws Away Chargers Game With A Last-Minute Pick-Six
San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers did a less-than-stellar job of keeping the ball away from the Miami Dolphins Sunday. A total of three interceptions through the first three-and-a-half-plus quarters... and then one more with hardly one minute left in the fourth quarter of a tied ballgame....
Bosnian Soccer Player Yanks Down Opponent's Shorts On The Field
Today’s World Cup qualifier between Greece and Bosnia and Herzegovina featured some vintage Steve Lyons activity....
Jay Cutler Ends First Half With Hail Mary
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s game against the Buccaneers did not get off to a good start, with two interceptions (one a pick-six) in the first quarter. But he took a pretty nice step toward redeeming himself with a Hail Mary to finish off the first half:...
Conor McGregor Won And He's Not Going To Fucking Apologize
Conor McGregor has pissed off a lot of people, which is generally what happens when you talk a lot of shit and throw drinks and do other things of that nature. So in his first act after becoming the only UFC fighter ever to hold two belts at the same time—now adding a lightweight title to his feathe...
Swedish Soccer Guy Appears To Be Some Kind Of Free Kick Wizard
France’s goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is generally regarded as one of the best shot-stoppers in the world, but Swedish winger Emil Forsberg fooled him and everyone with this knuckleball of a free kick. Lloris screwed this one up by starting in the middle and moving towards the wrong side, but Forsberg hit...
Conor McGregor To Guy Who Told Him Not To Call Him A Bitch: "Bitch"<em></em>
Conor McGregor is a louche-ass provocateur who will waste no opportunity to talk wild shit to or throw objects at anyone he’s fighting. He doesn’t really draw a line there either, as he’s been known to roast thirsty fighters who have nothing to do with him. Which brings us to Tyron Woodley, who got ...
Just Five Minutes Of Philip Rivers Saying Stuff
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has always struck me as a sort of charming goober, so it’s nice to hear five minutes of in-game audio that more or less confirms my assessment....
Bruins Go Five-Hole For Own Goal
The Bruins were murder on goalies last night, chasing Sergei Bobrovsky with four goals on nine shots in their eventual 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets. They got to Tuukka Rask too, even though he plays for them. Defenseman Colin Miller mishandled the puck and put it right between Rask’s legs for an ow...
Repent, For The Mongoose Horde Is Nigh
Stay away from open windows. Lock your doors. The mongoose legion approaches. There will be no survivors....
Hero Teen Takes Her Loss On <i>Jeopardy!</i> Like A Champ
Sabrina here didn’t know the answer to tonight’s Final Jeopardy! question about the Great Barrier Reef. That did not, however, stop her from chinning up, staring straight into the camera, and delivering the best answer of the night....
Roger Goodell On How Election Will Affect Roger Goodell: It Will Affect Roger Goodell<em></em>
Roger Goodell was interviewed on stage earlier today at the New York Times’s DealBook conference. He and Andrew Ross Sorkin spoke about the election intermittently throughout the 30-plus minute conversation. Goodell—the son of a former Republican congressman whose been known to rub elbows with the G...
Coutinho Dunked On Argentina's Head
As anyone familiar with the English Premier League or Brazil’s national team knows that Phillipe Coutinho is wont to try and bang in a long range golazo if you give him so much as an inch of space. That’s exactly what he did this evening against Argentina in a World Cup qualifier, slipping off of Ja...
Conor McGregor Acted All Crazy And Tried To Throw A Chair
Conor McGregor will be fighting Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 on Saturday night, and today both fighters were at the pre-fight press conference. As you can see in the video above, McGregor arrived late, stole Alvarez’s belt, and then tried to throw a chair....
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...
San Diego Stands Tall, Tells The Chargers To Fuck Off
Bad night last night, right? Real bad. Terrible night. Just the worst....
