How Eliud Kipchoge Made The Chicago Marathon Easy To Watch
We get caught up in records, but there's a lot to be said for style. This is especially true in the marathon, dominated by images of fatigue, frozen faces, bleeding nipples, crap-streaked legs, and claw-rigged arms—and those are just the spectators. The visible degradation over 26.2 miles from athle...
Royals Fans Celebrate Pennant With Long, Sloppy Victory Kiss

How To Race 26.2 Miles, Chicago-Style
Some of the most exciting moments in marathon racing have happened in Chicago. Not sure why Chicago. Maybe it's because the Chicago Marathon has the financial means to lure big talent with borderline crazy fearlessness—the ingredients of epic races. Maybe, it's because Chicago's infamous weather a...

How The Cowboys Have Made The Most Out Of Ex-Bust Rolando McClain
Remember Rolando McClain? The star Alabama linebacker the Raiders took with their first pick in 2010, hailed as a surprisingly wise move by then-owner Al Davis? The guy who was, naturally, a huge bust because the Raiders can’t have nice things? Well, he popped up on the Cowboys this season playing a...
Cubs Fans, Look Away Now

Drunk Seahawks Fan Has Foolproof Plan For Hanging On To Her Purse
High on the list of shit you don't wanna deal with when you're hammered is "carrying stuff."

Diego Costa's Targeting System Is On The Fritz
Diego Costa's scored nine goals so far this year for Chelsea, but has yet to find the net for his adoptive country of Spain. He had the perfect opportunity to do it against Luxembourg at today's Euro 2016 qualifier, but somehow put the ball, uh, really wide of the target. Blame it on server lag....
