The Rockets Are Dead, Fucking Finally
The Houston Rockets are so obviously talented. They have a genuine superstar scorer, and they’ve surrounded him with a point guard who just wants to pass the ball and injure dudes, a rangy, athletic crop of combo forwards, and one of the most dominant defensive centers of the past decade. Last year,...
Saúl Ñíguez Dances Through Bayern Defense, Gives Atlético 1-0 Lead

Diego Simeone Suspended Rest Of La Liga Season For Bizarre Ball-Throwing Incident
The bit of unsportsmanlike conduct you see above comes from Atlético Madrid’s home match against Málaga this past weekend.

Jon Jones And Daniel Cormier Will Fight At UFC 200

Dog On The Field
Have you ever wanted to check out a Copa Libertadores game? Not as much as this dog here, you haven’t. The good boy in question made the absolute most of his time on the pitch, runnin’, yippin’, hootin’, hollerin’, and jumpin’ until he was carried off like a little baby. Even as he was being whisked...
Reporter Who Asked Draymond Green That Odd Question About The Houston Floods Gets Fired

Jake Arrieta: It's Flattering That Other MLB Players Maybe Think I'm On PEDs
Jake Arrieta is on one of the most dominant pitching runs of the recent past. The Cubs ace has a 0.86 ERA over his past 24 starts and he’s also thrown a pair of no-hitters in that span. He didn’t exactly come out of nowhere but before last season, he was okay, and now he’s good. Is it drugs? Probabl...
Man Discovers Hockey, Loves It
The NHL convinced one more person to please like its sport last night. A man on Twitter tuned into Game 7 of Blackhawks-Blues, the first hockey game he had ever seen. He tweeted as he watched, and his enthusiasm was delightful....
Hot Single Athletes Are Using Tinder In Your Area Right Now
ESPN The Magazine’s Sam Alipour published a story about athletes using online dating today, and though the trend piece seems six months too late, the timeliness can be forgiven because of the anecdotes within. Athletes are just like us, in that they’re looking for people to hump....
Matt Albers Is Fucking Hyped
White Sox setup man Matt Albers is on a hell of a hot streak, pitching a scoreless eighth in last night’s win over Toronto to set the franchise record for scoreless outings.

St. Louis Blues Eliminate Blackhawks From Stanley Cup 'Yoffs
That gif above you is a neat encapsulation of the sort of night the Blackhawks had tonight.

Chicago outshot their southern neighbors 33-26, but they gave up two goals i...

Here It Is, The Bicycle Kick To End All Bicycle Kicks
That Javi Gómez, of third division Spanish club UD Socuéllamos, managed to score with this insane, volleyed overhead kick is crazy enough. But that he even thought to shoot there, when probably no one in the world save maybe Zlatan Ibrahimović would’ve considered it, makes it all the more spectacula...
GGG Makes Mincemeat Of Dominic Wade, Earns 32nd Knockout

Atlético Madrid Tried To Stop A Breakaway By Throwing Another Ball Out

Christian Pulisic Scored Again
17-year-old American soccer prodigy Christian Pulisic followed up on last week’s career-launching goal by scoring again today for Borussia Dortmund, putting his squad up 2-0 on Stuttgart by being in the right place at the right time. Dortmund came away with the eventual 3-0 win....
