Shaun White Earns Distinction For First Awful Celebrity Halloween Costume Of 2018
With an entire universe of Halloween costume options available to him—more established characters than you can count, tens of thousands of creepily sexed-up versions of those same characters, and infinite concoctions from his own imagination—Olympic snowboarder Shaun White landed on one that, detach...
The Warriors Don't Give A Shit About Fergie's Feelings
The Golden State Warriors had a response to Fergie’s ex-husband, Josh Duhamel, calling Draymond Green a “prick” in the form of a semi-choreographed dance. The team celebrated a comeback road victory over the New York Knicks in the locker room with a remixed version of Fergie’s embarrassingly poor re...
Sam Darnold Had Better Watch Out, Because Josh Allen Has The Poise Now
Jets quarterback Sam Darnold may have rebounded from throwing an early pick-six to pick apart the Lions in his team’s season opener, but he is no longer leading rookie QBs in poise. Bills signal caller Josh Allen has claimed pole position—or is it poise position?...
The Vikings Are Making Josh Allen Look Like Superman
Rookie QB Josh Allen and the Bills are just inexplicably and completely picking apart the Minnesota Vikings in their game so far this afternoon, jumping out to a 24-0 lead after just one quarter and change. ...
Q&A: Eric Dickerson On The Hall Of Fame Firestorm And Hating Those "Fuckers" At The NFL
Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson has been making the rounds this week, ever since he spearheaded the drafting of a letter that demands better benefits for retired NFL players—at first, specifically Hall of Famers. The rollout of that letter and the fallout that has ensued has been messy, to...
I Tried To Eat 50 Eggs And Failed Disgustingly
Fifty eggs is a lot of eggs, it turns out. Maybe you knew that already, without having to learn it by eating them; congrats, your smart-guy medal is in the mail....
NFL Hall Of Famers Are Already Backing Away From The Letter Demanding Better Retirement Benefits
The names of 21 NFL greats are listed at the bottom of the letter announced today demanding health insurance and pensions for Hall of Famers. By definition it’s an impressive list, but it’s getting less impressive by the hour: both Kurt Warner and Jerry Rice have now publicly disavowed the letter’s ...
Letter From NFL Hall Of Famers Demands Health Insurance, But Only For Themselves
In a letter sent Tuesday to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, and Pro Football Hall of Fame president C. David Baker, players who make up the Hall of Fame board are demanding health insurance and salaries for former NFL players now in the Hal...
Bills Finally Admit Nathan Peterman Has No Business Being A Starting QB
The Buffalo Bills have finally stopped trying to make Nathan Peterman happen. Head coach Sean McDermott said today that rookie quarterback Josh Allen would start this Sunday for the Bills’ game against the Chargers....
It Took Just 34 Minutes For The Bills To Ditch Nathan Peterman
Nathan Peterman has, um, struggled just a bit in his time as a Buffalo Bills quarterback, most notably in the five-pick first half that followed his inexplicable start against the Chargers last season. But for some reason, the Bills felt confident enough in a guy who had never thrown for more than 8...
When The Nellie Kush Hits
Steve Nash brought 78-year-old Don Nelson on stage with him Friday night during his Hall of Fame induction speech, and, friends, Nellie looks FUCKING AWESOME now:...
Some Common Goalkeeping Mistakes Aren't Actually Mistakes
It’s not really surprising that an eccentric position played by only one-tenth of a sport’s population and operating under a completely different rule set is relatively overlooked and misunderstood. That’s not always a major problem. After all, a goalkeeper’s job boils down to “Keep the ball out of ...
The Nathan Peterman Experiment Continues!
The Bills cleared out Tyrod Taylor this offseason, and passed along AJ McCarron to the Raiders after a less than stellar preseason. Why carry all these ho-hum quarterbacks around when the team has already identified their franchise quarterback, the golden-armed stud they selected with the seventh ov...

Khalil Mack's Raiders Backup, On This Most Auspicious Day: [Facepalm]
With All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack headed to the Chicago Bears, the Raiders will turn to rookies P.J. Hall and Arden Key to step up along their defensive line. Key, in fact, is in line to nab Mack’s starting job. A promotion! So how is the rookie feeling about this latest roster development?...
It's Time For A Better Conversation About Goalkeeping
Goalkeepers have no business existing in soccer. Maintaining an entire class of players whose job is to snuff the joy out of a game is absurd, and strapping on gloves to play a sport that prohibits the use of the hands is blasphemy. In defiance of not just strikers, but more or less everyone, the ke...
Jalen Ramsey Can Tell You Exactly Why Josh Allen Is "Trash"
GQ has an interview with Jaguars star cornerback and master shit-talker Jalen Ramsey out today, and it will surely be the most entertaining thing you read all day. A good portion of the interview involves Ramsey scrolling through the names of NFL quarterbacks on his phone and telling the interviewer...
Pro Football Hall Of Fame Considers Rule Change To Make Attendance Mandatory
Every sport gets the hall of fame it deserves. That’s why baseball has a bunch of old, weird prisses gatekeeping, and why hockey honored Jeremy Jacobs before Willie O’Ree, and why the Pro Football Hall of Fame loves insane, sanctimonious asshole Ray Lewis but might change its own rules because of Te...
Terrell Owens Is Right To Feel Insulted
Terrell Owens has a point. In his Hall of Fame speech, given at the University of Chattanooga, during his own, unprecedented off-site ceremony, Owens described the process that delayed his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame like this:...
Randy Moss Wore A Good Tie To The Hall Of Fame Ceremony
Randy Moss wore a tie to Saturday’s Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies showing the names of black men and women and children who were either killed by police or died under suspicious circumstances while in police custody. Moss didn’t bring it up during his animated 17-minute speech, but he had an ...
Ray Lewis's Hall Of Fame Speech Was Actual Frothing Madness
Ray Lewis was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. He gave a speech. It was an exhausting performance, and not just because Lewis was stomping around the stage and holding poses with all the staccato swagger of the lead singer of an ‘80s hair metal band, mid-ballad. It was also a...
