David Bote's Walk-Off Grand Slam Was Exhilarating

Tiger Woods Is Back

Tiger Woods didn’t win, which is how I’ll remember this year’s PGA Championship. But he was close, which is what made it to me the most exciting and memorable PGA Championship in a decade. Because I don’t care about golf, don’t find it interesting as a sport. (Complaints can be directed here.) But I...

Johnny Manziel Jacked Up In Second CFL Start

Johnny Manziel’s second CFL start went much better than his first. For one thing, he made it out of the first half; for another, he completed 16 of 26 passes for 168 yards, and gained another 36 yards on three rushing attempts, and generally looked like a guy who can do some positive football things...

Ramon Laureano Threw The Shit Out Of This Baseball

Paul Pogba's Weirdo Penalty Is The First Premier League Goal Of The Season

At the start of a game that probably shouldn’t be played right now (I mean really, the World Cup ended less than a month ago for chrissakes, don’t these guys deserve some rest?), a player that probably shouldn’t be playing (Paul Pogba had a big role in that World Cup right up till the end, you might...

Deadlifting Teen Attacked By Raging Meathead Who Couldn't Tolerate "Ego Lifting"

Nineteen-year-old Charles Lalonde was deadlifting 350 pounds at Buzzfit Gym in Montreal on Aug. 2.

Please, God, I Can't Handle A Preseason Deflategate

Try to imagine the worst possible NFL preseason storyline. If you think hard enough, you’ll probably come up with the vague outlines of something involving... the Pittsburgh Steelers... deflated footballs... and... sports radio dingus Howard Eskin? Well guess what, asshole, that’s the shit we’re in ...

Kenny Stills, Malcolm Jenkins, Other NFL Players Continue To Protest Racial Injustice During Anthem

The NFL preseason has never really mattered except in the context of players busting their ankles or getting otherwise torn before the real games even start, but in 2018, it’s also a bellwether for how socially conscious football players are responding to the NFL’s increasingly thoughtless and grasp...

That Time An Ass Exam Scuttled The Sixers' Chances Of Signing Pete Maravich

Basketball what-ifs can be a fun game to play, so here’s one that wouldn’t have significantly changed the course of NBA history but is nonetheless odd: Did you know an in-his-twilight “Pistol” Pete Maravich might have picked the Celtics over the 76ers because of a threatened ass exam?...
