The Pacers Have Hit Rock Bottom

The good news for Pacers fans is that things can't get much worse than this. The team's month-long tailspin seems to have finally ended with a crash landing in Indiana last night. The Pacers lost 107-88 to the Atlanta Hawks while putting on a miserable performance that featured just 23 first-half po...

Here Is A Cubs Mascot Punching A Dude For Taking His Head Off

This is not the degenerate Cubs mascot whose pantsless existence we've all come to know and struggle to comprehend. This is just some bootleg, pantsless, degenerate Cubs mascot who does not enjoy it at all when people remove his head. ...

I'm No Scientist, But That's A Lot Of Shits

100 Of Roger Federer's Best Shots

Someone put together a nearly 30-minute video of the top 100 shots of Roger Federer's career. Now, a Top 100 of anything borders on the absurd, but that's not really the point of this video. The point is to watch a surgical tennis player doing remarkable things. ...

Indians Fan On His Redface: "It's Cleveland Pride"

Remember all that "IIIIIIIIIIII'm probably fucking up here" supposing we did yesterday?

Cleveland Indians Fan In Redface Meets A Native American

For all the shit we give wrong idiot Dan Snyder, there's really no question that Cleveland's Chief Wahoo is clearly and by far the most ridiculous mascot in sports. A bunch of fans have been "de-chiefing" their gear for a few years now. This guy went the other way. ...

Report: The Eagles Seriously Hated DeSean Jackson

Football fans are smarter than teams and media give them credit for. When the Eagles released DeSean Jackson, they could easily have said, "Jackson is a great player, but between his sometimes-spotty play and his occasional inability to get along with coaches and teammates, we don't believe he's wor...

Here Are Your Best Chicken-Thigh Recipes

Last week, we noted that chicken-thigh recipes were turning up everywhere, making them the It Piece of Spring. Of course, you already knew that chicken thighs are where it's at. And we kinda guessed that would be the case (leg men, every last one of you), so we asked for your favorite preparation. Y...

This Adreian Payne Dunk Is Just Silly

The college dunk contest was last night, and even though Michigan State forward Adreian Payne didn't win the competition, he earned the unofficial victory thanks to this ridiculous dunk....

Brendon Ayanbadejo Implies Miami Traded Him For Taking Paternity Leave

The fuss about Daniel Murphy missing two games to be there for the birth of his son seemed like a total nontroversy—the Mets were OK with it, and their fans were OK with it. (Seriously. It's two games. And Daniel Murphy. And the 2014 Mets.) The only people upset were New York radio hosts. But the de...

Speech Competition Punctuated With Kid Blowing Chunks On Medal Stand

This happened at last week's Nebraska state speech championships, and we are so glad that it did. We don't know the identity of the kid fire-hosing the remnants of his turkey sandwich all over his hands and feet, but we do know that he is a hero. Because of him, we may now enjoy the world's first pe...

Even When The Cubs Win, They Lose

The Chicago Cubs salvaged a win in their opening series against the Pirates with a rain-soaked 3-2 victory at PNC Park today, but it wasn't without some embarrassment. A botched bunt by Gaby Sanchez left pitcher Pedro Strop and catcher John Baker in what we might call a compromising situation....

White Sox Games Are Eerily Empty

Baseball is not dying. The White Sox should not be contracted. It is April, and it is cold and gray and wet in Chicago, and normal people are at work or in school. There are many more reasons not to be at U.S. Cellular Field than there are to be there, but my goodness: That is an empty ballpark....
