Real-Life Wellington Silva Plays Soccer Like He's In A Video Game
Wellington Silva has been an intriguing prospect in the Arsenal system for years now, as fans tracked his growth, hoping the young Brazilian could one day turn into a stud. Well, he’s 23 years old now, and yet again out on loan—this time at Bolton in England’s second division—but holy shit if he isn...
Young Child Who Gets The Living God Nutmegged Out Of Him Must Now Quit, Learn Viola
Generally speaking, youth sports are about fun and fitness and finding a bit of self-worth in a big, strange world, and perhaps—perhaps—discovering an activity that makes you Feel Something. But generally speaking—generally speaking—the stakes ain’t that high, and they’re not supposed to be....
Bill Belichick Doesn't Regret Going For It On Fourth Down, Twice
The Patriots nearly pulled out a miracle tying drive thanks to two fourth-down conversions, but the game and the circumstances might’ve been vastly different if two earlier fourth-down tries had been successful—or never attempted at all. Of all the what-ifs New England is dealing with today, two Bil...
Stoke Defender Might Want To Retire After What Riyad Mahrez Did To Him
Like, Philipp Wollscheid at least should probably change his name after this. The elastico itself was disgusting, but that Riyad Mahrez flicked it through the poor defender’s legs, and that Wollscheid just stood their frozen, eyes cast downward looking like a child inspecting the damage after he’d j...
Mike Tolbert Is Officially Too Big And Sexy For His Jersey
Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert is one of the more endearing players in the NFL, due in large part to the fact that he is the rare skill-position player who is actually capable of scoring fat-guy touchdowns. My appreciation for Tolbert grew immensely last night, when I noticed that the big man had ap...
Thomas Davis Breaks Arm, Vows To Play In Super Bowl Anyway
If there was a gloomy moment for the Panthers during their destruction of the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game, it was when linebacker Thomas Davis left the field with his right arm immobilized by the training staff. The injury, a broken arm, turned out to be as bad as it looked, but Davis sai...
¡Súperman Una Vez Más!
Cam Newton is leading his Carolina Panthers team to an NFC championship and is almost certainly the NFL MVP. These achievements seem almost modest, you know, for Superman. But the Man of Steel took flight in the third quarter of tonight’s blowout NFC title game; ¡Es un pájaro! ¡Es un avión!...
Providence's Junior Lomomba Is Psychic, Maybe
Providence upset #4 Villanova in Philly today (without a particularly good game from future lottery pick Kris Dunn) thanks to Ben Bentil going off for 31 points. These two here weren’t exactly highlight reel material for him, but Québécois point guard Junior Lomomba used his (apparent) psychic abili...
SMU, The Last Undefeated Team In College Basketball, Goes Down
Temple took down Larry Brown’s previously undefeated Southern Methodist Mustangs 89-80 this afternoon in Philly. The game was originally scheduled to take place yesterday, but the blizzard forced it to today. Backup guard Devin Coleman was a perfect 7-for-7 from three and 8-for-8 from the field for ...
Novak Djokovic And A Heckler Reach An Amicable Consensus
Novak Djokovic was, by one metric, historically bad last night for a Grand Slam match winner. He held on to beat Frenchman Giles Simon 6-3, 6-7 (1), 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in the round of 16 at the Australian Open, but he committed 100 unforced errors. In a way, this is more indicative of Simon’s style (as y...
DeMarcus Cousins Cooked And Ate The Pacers Last Night
Oh hey, look at that, the Kings have won five in a row over pretty decent competition. Willie Cauley-Stein has been a perfect fit at center, and since he’s moved into the starting lineup, Sacramento is 9-3. But really, it all starts and ends with Boogie. He’s leading the NBA in scoring and reboundin...
Cops Join In Snow Football Game, Deliver Devastating Stiffarm
Much like that Gainesville cop who dunked on those kids earlier this week, these Washington D.C. cops took a little time off from policing last night as the blizzard was roaring into D.C. to play some sports. This may or may not be an attempt to ride the wave of goodwill that the Gainesville cop set...

We Can't Read Your Sign, Dickhead [UPDATE]
Here’s some Jersey shithead with an illegible sign making an ass out of himself behind the Monmouth Co. sheriff. Hey, dickhead, you’re holding a white sign in the middle of a snowstorm. Nobody can read your fuckin’ sign. If you had a brain in your skull, you’d be inside....
Oklahoma Is On Fire
Here’s the kind of team Oklahoma is: This afternoon, their leader Buddy Hield was struggling with foul trouble and putting forth an uncharacteristically loose performance against Baylor. The Bears were beginning to turn the corner on the Sooners, and had just tied it up at 41 with 17 minutes left. R...
Joe Hart's Tremendous Save Brings Russell Brand To His Feet In Anguish
Man City keeper Joe Hart kept his side even with West Ham United with a brilliant save of a Dimitry Payet free kick that brought anguish to the supporters at Upton Park—especially Russell Brand, in attendance with pal Noel Gallagher. Depending on whether you think Brand is an asshole or if you think...
Ángel Di María Hammers Home Long-Range Volley
We can’t imagine PSG’s Ángel di María heard about Dele Alli’s wondergoal earlier today, but if he did this is a fitting response. Dare we say di María learned it from Zlatan?...

Three NHL Games, Two NBA Games Postponed By East Coast Blizzard
How are you planning on spending this snowbound evening? Hopefully you weren’t planning on watching the Wizards, Sixers (you definitely weren’t), or the Islanders play tonight. The NHL has postponed today’s Islanders—Flyers game as well as tomorrow’s Capitals—Penguins game. The Capitals game yesterd...
Messi The Magician Gives Barça The Lead With Gorgeous Volley
Barcelona found themselves in a real battle today at Málaga, but it was the hero himself, Lionel Messi, who once again came through in the clutch as the Argentine brought Ray Hudson to yet another orgasmic climax with an unstoppable volley....
