The Nationals Fired Dusty Baker Because They're Just Thrashing Around
For a nice cathartic kick, I recommend USA Today’s Bob Nightengale’s take on the Nationals’ dumb but depressingly predictable firing of Dusty Baker, done via telephone Friday:...
Defend Your Boots From The Rain, And Dog Shit
Boots might be able to handle the mud, crud, and animal shit you encounter, but they need care, too....
Kyrie Irving, To Taunting Sixers Fan: "Suck My Dick!"
Last night, in Philadelphia, a taunting Sixers fan shouted down into the tunnel “Kyrie, where’s LeBron?” The timing was good, as Kyrie Irving himself seemed to be navigating that section of tunnel, and was apparently within earshot, judging by this response:...
Attaboy, Lonzo
Certain caveats apply: the Phoenix Suns are incredibly awful; it’s just one game; his 29 points came on 27 shots; etc. Still. Lonzo Ball badly needed a bounce-back performance to wash away the stink of Patrick Beverley’s nether regions, and last night he got a good one, recording 29 points, 11 rebou...
Jemele Hill: "I Deserved That Suspension" From ESPN
In an impromptu airport interview with TMZ Sports, Jemele Hill said that she “deserved a suspension” after putting ESPN “in a bad spot” with her social media behavior, and respects ESPN’s prerogative to do “what they felt was right” in hitting her with a two-week suspension for a series of Donald Tr...

Nick Kyrgios, Shut Down For The Season, Fields Questions From The Peanut Gallery
Nick Kyrgios chose to shut down his season Thursday, citing a desire to recover fully from the hip injury he suffered during a nasty slip on the grass in July. Here’s the full explanation he offered after an uneven season in which he made two finals but failed to pass the second round of any major:...
Report: Maine High School Coach Told Players To Heckle Player With Gay Parents
According to a report from the Portland Press-Herald, the football coach at Gray-New Gloucester High School resigned after instructing his players to taunt a Yarmouth player with gay parents during a game last Friday, telling them to ask the player “Who’s your daddy?” every time he was tackled....
Khalil Mack May Very Well Be Too Strong
Chiefs tackle Eric Fisher is 6-foot-7 and weighs 315 pounds. Raiders linebacker Khalil Mack is also quite large, coming in at 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, but not so large, one might think, as to be able to turn a man of Fisher’s size into a Jenga tower in pads. And yet, we can all see the GIF at the to...
Marshawn Lynch Watched Game From The Stands After Ejection, Took The Train Home
After Marshawn Lynch was ejected from last night’s game against the Chiefs for making contact with an official, there were reports that he had immediately changed into street clothes in the locker room and left the stadium. That turned out to not be quite true; Lynch did indeed leave the locker room...
Raiders Win In Wild Finish That Everybody Screwed Up
Oakland topped Kansas City tonight in yet another improbably entertaining Thursday night game, though one that had a finish marred (to some) or spiced up (to others) by errors committed by, in order, the officials, the Raiders, the Chiefs, and the Chiefs again:...
Dodgers Blow Out Cubs To Advance To World Series
For the first time in this series, the Cubs failed to score first. The Dodgers took full advantage, with an 11-1 victory to win their first pennant in nearly 30 years....
Tipped Pass Leads To 63-Yard TD, Lots Of Cursing
Albert Wilson hauled in a tipped pass to go 63 yards and give Kansas City a 27-21 lead over the Raiders in what’s been a very interesting Thursday night game; subsequently, some very un-FCC-friendly language made its way onto the broadcast, which is what we’re all here for, right?...
Oh Hell Yes, Doris Burke Is Finally Doing The NBA Analysis She Deserves<em></em>
On Valentine’s Day in 1988, Leandra Reilly Lardner became the first woman to serve as a play-by-play commentator on an NBA game. It was a live telecast between the New Jersey Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers on SportsChannel, she recalled recently for the Chicago Tribune. It was a key moment—followed...

The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Jackass Richard Spencer Fan Trying To Clear A Fence [Update]
Today self-proclaimed Nazi Richard Spencer spoke at the University of Florida in front of what appeared to be a crowd primarily made up of people who were there to shout him down. As one might expect, Spencer’s speech was met with large protests. After getting owned inside the auditorium, the few Sp...
Garden Hired
Per Ken Rosenthal, the Tigers are about to hire current Diamondbacks bench coach/longtime former Twins manager Ron Gardenhire as their new manager. He is less handsome than his predecessor but has many more career wins....
Olivier Giroud Saves Arsenal With Absurd Golazo
Mediocre Premier League side Arsenal went to Belgrade today to take on Red Star Belgrade in some Europa League action. They played a baffling lineup, and the hosts managed to stymie them all game, until Olivier Giroud hit this weird 85th-minute winner after manufacturing an angle by basically taking...
Chandler Parsons Isn't Having Fun Anymore
Remember happy Chandler Parsons? He was once a jolly bro who did cool stuff for fans, signed a Mavericks offer sheet in the club, and was boys with Mark Cuban. Parsons was goofy and fun, a lovable NBA doofus who was actually pretty good at basketball. But then that relationship with Cuban got hella ...
The Totally Unexpected True Story Of Yi Jianlian's Magical Mystery Chair
Mention Yi Jianlian, and the first thing that comes to mind is probably that video of him working out against a chair. The baseline drive, the juke, the spin move around the defenseless chair and the ferocious slam. Do you remember it?...
