Andrew Heaney Got Doused In A Glorious Ice Bucket Dump
There are few better birthday gifts a starting pitcher could ask for than the 23rd-in-OPS Kansas City Royals lineup, which is exactly what the Angels’ Andrew Heaney got for his 27th birthday last night. He threw the first shutout of his career, a one-hit gem in a 1-0 win, and was then treated to one...
The People Fell Down The Hill Chasing The Cheese Again
The English county of Gloucestershire held its annual cheese rolling race Monday, and a bunch of people, whose bones were hopefully fortified by consuming the daily recommended amount of calcium, tumbled down a steep hill as they tried to chase that Gloucester cheese wheel we all know and love....
Josh Allen Called Stephen A. Smith At 2 A.M. To Apologize For His Racist Tweets

Tom Hallion Puts On A Ridiculous Spring Ump Show With Five Silly Ejections

Baseball Hall Of Fame Retires Chief Wahoo Before The Cleveland Indians
Cleveland Indians legend Jim Thome got a well-deserved first-ballot Hall of Fame nod this year, and after some apparent discussion, as well as a specific request by Thome, the slugger will go in on a plaque bearing the Cleveland “Block C” logo, rather than the “Chief Wahoo” Native American caricatur...
Wichita State Did The Right Thing For Alex Lomax

The New Teen Thing Will Give You More Anxiety Than Any Game Tonight
I’m a newly minted old person in a high-density city, so I don’t get in cars much anymore. But one of the quaint pleasantries of cruising around town was holding your hand out the window and letting the air guide it up and down like a chill, cool wave....
The Oilers Should Probably Stop Sending Guys To New Jersey
The Edmonton Oilers are utter trash this year, despite the once-in-a-lifetime superstar they tanked their way into getting, so it’s hard to even chart exactly how bad they would be if they had to rely entirely on GM Peter Chiarelli’s deal-making ingenuity. But a look across the continent over in New...

Dang, Bogdan Bogdanovic Can Really Let It Fly
Last night’s NBA Rising Stars Challenge was a laugher, and not even just for the usual reasons (no defense, sloppy passing, reckless shooting, general exhibition behavior): This time, the World team just kinda flattened the U.S. team, from start to finish, so that what is always a talent show masque...
