Damn, This Dude Flat Out Crushes This Ball
A lot to enjoy here: 1) the shot by Wimbledon’s Jake Reeves itself, coming off an expertly controlled bounding ball and a wallop of a kick that sends the it way up into the air before it dips and swerves into the goal; 2) Reeves’s cocky little strut that he starts right after the ball comes off his ...
Fans Are Trolling A Gag "LaRoche Family Recovery Fund"
I can’t get enough of this Drake LaRoche thing. It’s the best, dumbest, most baseball controversy I can imagine. Adam Eaton saying of a 14-year-old boy that “we lost a leader?” Love it. Unnamed White Sox players finally emerging to say actually, it kind of sucks to have a teen in our workplace every...
David Ortiz Doesn't Have Time To Worry About Respect
Speaking purely as someone who adores stupid sports controversies, I never want this baseball offseason to end. The Saga of Drake LaRoche spun my head so completely that I almost forgot about this spring’s other big storylines: Bryce Harper telling the old-timers to stuff it and Goose Gossage scream...
Jason Chimera Scores Header Goal
The hockey header goal: it is a rare hybrid of sorts, blending parts of both ice hockey and soccer in what sports legend tells us is a myth, but actually happened last night as the Capitals’ Jason Chimera knocked a puck into the net with his noggin and it counted....
Richard Sherman Criticizes Roger Goodell's New Rule Proposals, Says He's "Just A Suit"
Richard Sherman has never been shy about expressing his thoughts, and what he says is almost always legitimately interesting, whether it’s on Black Lives Matter, the hypocrisy of Ballghazi, the scam of the NCAA, Roger Goodell’s friendliness with Robert Kraft, or Labor Day....
Rory McIlroy Holes 59-Foot Putt
Rory McIlroy had a mediocre turn at this weekend’s Arnold Palmer Invitational—finishing in a tie for 25th place—but he closed his Sunday with an incredible long-range putt for birdie on the par-4 18th at Bay Hill. The Northern Irishman changed his putting approach earlier this month, and it might ju...
Gregg Popovich's Scheming Threw The Warriors Off Their Game
The Spurs dealt the Warriors their seventh loss of the season last night down in San Antonio, and held the Dubs to just 79 points in the process. Those who switched over from college basketball hoping for a more exciting game probably would have had more fun sticking with March Madness, since the Sp...
A Good Goalie Goal
The Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League clinched their division with a 9-3 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers last night, and one of those nine was a bomb from Stuart Skinner all way from the other end....
It Looks Like A Bunch Of White Sox Players Had A Problem With Adam LaRoche's Teen Son
The continuing controversy over Adam LaRoche retiring because the White Sox wouldn’t let his teen son Drake hang out in the clubhouse every day shouldn’t still be this funny, and yet, here we find ourselves this morning, with Adam Eaton saying things like this....
How Many Plumlee Siblings Can You Name?
The thing about the Plumlees is that there are so many of them, and the other thing about them is that all their names start with the letter “M.” A Plumlee who will remain unnamed right now is taking on Yale today, so, to get you ready, we prepared a quiz. How many of these M names are true Plumlee ...
Oh, That's Gorgeous
Cesc Fàbregas equalized for Chelsea in stoppage time with as perfect a free kick as could be executed in the situation....
Manuel Lanzini Rocket Goal Puts West Ham Up On Chelsea
Chelsea fell behind at home once again this morning, though it’s hard to blame them for this Manuel Lanzini screamer from outside the box. The Blues haven’t much but pride to play for at this point, and strikes like this from the Argentine aren’t helping....
This Steph Curry Shot Was Ridiculous, Even For Him
The Warriors went down to Dallas and won a wildly entertaining shootout against the Mavs 130-112. Steph Curry finished a rebound shy of a triple-double and yawned his way to a dominant performance. The Mavs kept it close into the fourth quarter, but he and Klay Thompson (who had 10 threes! 10!) just...
Here's Borussia Mönchengladbach With A Great Piece Of Own-Goal Incompetence
On one hand, this comically ridiculous own goal does a disservice to the impressive work Schalke’s Leroy Sané put into creating it. On the other, the three deft little flicks Gladbach’s defenders ping back and forth between each other would be impressive—Arsenal-esque, even—if only they weren’t send...
Adam LaRoche Says White Sox Asked Him To Stop Bringing His Son To The Clubhouse Altogether
Adam LaRoche has released a statement about his 14-year-old son Drake, his decision to walk away from the White Sox, team vice president Kenny Williams, family, baseball, character, morals, God, brands, and a whole bunch of other stuff....
Chris Sale Is Really Mad That The White Sox Won't Let A Kid Hang Out In The Clubhouse All Day
Starting pitcher Chris Sale is a valued player in good standing with the White Sox, so he’s using his position to call out the team’s handling of Adam LaRoche and his 14-year-old son, Drake. This morning, Sale had both LaRoches’ jerseys hanging in his locker, and accused White Sox vice president Ken...
Ice-Cold Coutinho Skates By Defense, Daggers Manchester United With A Sweet Chip
Here is Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho easing down the Manchester United flank, floating into the box, then coolly flipping the ball over keeper David De Gea with about as much difficulty and exertion as you or I would jog out to the grocery store to pick up a carton of chocolate milk:...
Report: Sepp Blatter Made $3.6 Million In 2015 As FIFA President
Thanks to FIFA’s newly passed financial transparency rules, we have for the first time confirmation of exactly how much Sepp Blatter and at least one other top official earned in their roles at FIFA. According to these numbers, the former president made about $3.6 million in 2015....
Who Had A Problem With Adam LaRoche's Kid?
Adam LaRoche and his 14-year-old son Drake aren’t with the White Sox anymore; the first baseman walked away from the team on Tuesday after Kenny Williams asked him to reduce Drake’s time around the clubhouse. This unique MLB controversy gets more confusing, however. Today, reports claim that White S...
The Cubs And White Sox Aren't Happy About Chicago's Smokeless Tobacco Ban In Stadiums
Yesterday, Chicago’s city council passed an ordinance banning all forms of smokeless tobacco from the city’s sports stadiums. That means no dip, no chaw, no snus, all informally part of baseball culture as long as there has been a sport where men sit around for three hours every day. And for the pla...
