Is It Normal For Me To Hiccup So Damn Much?
Hiccups are, by nature, pretty normal. Everyone gets them and the only really worrisome side effect is the possibility that they won’t automatically dissipate in a timely fashion. If they don’t? Even hiccups that last for months or years or record-setting decades typically don’t keep the inflicted f...

UFC Throws Reporter Out Of Event, Bans Him For Life For Reporting News
Imagine the NBA having Adrian Wojnarowski escorted out of a game in the third quarter and banning him for life for having reported a trade rumor. Ridiculous as it seems, a scenario exactly like this just happened at a UFC show....
Joonas Donskoi OT Goal Wins Game 3 For Sharks, Gives Us A Series
For awhile there, it looked like Pittsburgh wasn’t going to lose another game; the Penguins had become a completely different team somewhere around the midway point of their Game 5 loss to Tampa Bay.

The Cavs Should Replace Matthew Dellavedova With This Dog
I would be willing to bet a sizable amount of money that at some point during these NBA Finals, bad basketball player Matthew Dellavedova will throw a wildly inaccurate and embarrassing lob pass. It’s his signature move, after all....
This Sports Baby Is Impressively Terrible At T-Ball
Podcast host J.J. Redick has a cute kid who, sadly, appears to have world historic trouble with unseating a tennis ball from a t-ball stand....
Hatem Ben Arfa Won't Be At The Euros, But Let's Watch Him Flay Defenders Anyway
Overshadowed in the international selection controversy sparked by Eric Cantona’s comments and Karim Benzema’s fanning of the flames was Cantona’s lamentation that Hatem Ben Arfa wasn’t called up for the France team for the Euros. As understandable as the Ben Arfa snub is, it’s still sad. Because Be...

Got a question for you, inspired by this tweet:...
Madison Bumgarner Socked Another Madison Bumdinger
In the top of the fifth inning of today’s game against the Braves, Giants ace Madison Bumgarner came to the plate with no outs, a man on first, and the scored tied at zero.

Sam Thaiday, who plays for the Brisbane Broncos in the Australian rugby league, scored a sideline interview after a recent victory over New South Wales. He came prepared with a curveball of an answer....
Here Comes The End Of Ryan Howard
To be fair, there isn’t really much left of Ryan Howard for us to lose. The guy who once socked 58 dingers in a single season and swung his bat like it was a piece of artillery has been gone for a while now. What’s remained is a husk earning $25 million to strike out a lot. Now, that poor sap is bei...
Please Do Not Licki Your Kitty
There’s a special, biologically intimate relationship that animals have with their own kind. Dogs sniff at the butts of stranger dogs in search of their anal sacs, and the secretions of the chemicals within—it’s their version of a handshake, and gives pups an idea of what to expect from one another ...
Don't Be Inspired By This Cubs Tattoo
I don’t begrudge this Cubs fan his enthusiasm or his desire to express it, even in a way that feels like the visual equivalent of using plural first person pronouns when recounting the accomplishments of more athletic strangers. I just think he made some choices that shouldn’t be emulated. Let’s loo...
Glory Boy Hot Dog Celebrates Too Early, Gets Bodied By Jason Kipnis
If you’re in a hot dog race, there are no rules. You have to look out for your safety at all times, and not, say, turn around to celebrate only for a passing ballplayer to own you with a vicious shoulder check....
Matt Albers Whacked The Most Improbable Game-Winning Hit Of The MLB Season
It was a pleasant enough day in New York City today, so the Mets and White Sox decided to play a few extra innings this afternoon. The White Sox eventually won, 2-1, in the 13th thanks to the heroics on both sides of the ball of relief pitcher Matt Albers....
Karim Benzema Blames Racism—Not His Alleged Involvement In Blackmailing Teammate Over Sex Tape—For Euros Snub
In normal circumstances, Karim Benzema would be at the top of the world right now. Fresh off a great season at Real Madrid that culminated in Champions League glory, he should be getting ready to lead France in the Euro 2016 tournament as the host nation’s best player. Instead, he’ll be watching it ...
