Please Enjoy Michael And Martellus Bennett Roasting The Rest Of The NFL
ESPN’s Mina Kimes has written a great profile of Michael and Martellus Bennett, the two brothers who consistently provide the best soundbites in the NFL. The whole story is an enjoyable read, but one highlight is the brothers issuing raw takes on other figures around the league....
Russell Wilson Remains Incredibly Corny
The Costacos Brothers, creators of those campy, extremely literal posters of athletes in the ‘80s, have “come out of retirement” to make a special edition poster of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. The NFL player and recent sex-haver is: Armed and Dangeruss....
Tim Kaine, A Mizzou Grad, Roots For The Kansas Jayhawks
In a more perfect world, our national leaders would be judged by the content of their character, the way their strong wills contest against their empathy in difficult situations, and their willingness to do what was right as opposed to what would get them re-elected. But that’s just the plot of Mr. ...
Kent Bazemore Gets Emotional While Discussing Decision To Return To Atlanta
It wasn’t so long ago that Kent Bazemore was the scrub on the end of the Warriors’ bench who wasn’t known for anything other than his enthusiastic celebrations. He’s since fashioned himself into a solid swingman, and was one of the more sought-after free agents in this summer’s class. He chose to re...

Zack Hample Apologizes For Ballhawking At MLB's Fort Bragg Game

Against Ballhawking
Yesterday, I wrote a blog post about Zack Hample, who had complained about being bumped by a fan, causing him to lose a home run ball at Yankee Stadium. Hample, by his own count, got 11 other baseballs at that game, bringing his career total to 9,079—but he was unhappy about what would have been No....
Ballhawk Zack Hample Throws Fit Because Someone Else Wanted A Baseball
The Yankees staged a wild comeback last night, erasing a four-run ninth inning deficit and walking off on a Didi Gregorius home run to beat the Rangers 9-7. But also, who gives a shit about the Yankees? We’re here for the grown man getting snitty over a baseball....
Deputies: Tarvaris Jackson Pointed Loaded Gun At Woman, Threatened To Kill Her

The Blackhawks Made Another Painful Trade
The Stanley Cup is barely parading through the streets of Pittsburgh and hot motherfuckin’ stove season is already underway. The Blackhawks are shipping Teuvo Teravainen (he’s good) and Bryan Bickell (he’s bad) to the Hurricanes in exchange for a 2016 second-round pick and 2017 third-round pick (tha...
Richard Sherman Is Fed Up With Publicly Funded Stadiums
Seahawks cornerback and all-around good-opinion-haver Richard Sherman was talking politics on the radio yesterday, in a mostly jokey interview where he said that if he were elected President, he’d tap Doug Baldwin as his Secretary of Defense because “he’s an angry guy.” But this part wasn’t jokey:...
Russell Wilson's Charming UW Commencement Address Was The Anti-Michael Jordan Hall Of Fame Speech
Look how chill that dude is right there. Twenty-seven years old, a Super Bowl winner, wearing a hoodie to a graduation ceremony at which he gave a funny, inspirational, self-effacing speech that also settled some scores with an old coach. This weekend in Madison, Russell Wilson—Seahawks QB, former W...
Ricardo Lockette Will Retire After Serious Neck Injury
This is one of the reasons athletes should never be begrudged for trying to get as much money as they can while they still can: their lifetime earning power can vaporize in a moment, at any moment.

The Atlanta Hawks Are Being Whiny Babies
One of the best things about basketball is that it is not baseball. I enjoy both sports equally, but basketball has always had an edge in the not-employing-humorless-dickwads department, which means you rarely ever see NBA players or coaches talking about “class” or “playing the right way.” The Atla...
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....
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. The St. Louis Blues took Game 7 at home 3-2 and broke Chicago’s 18-game streak of winning in the playoffs when Marian Hossa scores. Chicago outshot their southern neighbors 33-26, but they gave up two goals i...
