Dan Fouts Helpfully Identifies Idiot On The Field
With Chicago up on Carolina 17-3 late in the fourth quarter today, an impending Bears win faced a slight delay when, just before a Panthers punt, an idiot ran out onto the field. While the broadcast cameras barely caught a glimpse of him, the CBS announcing team kindly alerted the audience of the sc...
Marc Gasol Gave The Business To The Warriors Last Night
Overshadowed, somewhat, by the ejections of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, and the general improbability of the Warriors ever losing—let alone losing to a team starting both Andrew Harrison and Jarell Martin—was another instant classic performance by Marc Gasol, who is wonderful....
Here's A Superhuman Volleyball Play From Three Different Angles
Coming to you from Decatur High School in Texas is what has to be one of the best amateur sports highlights of the year, courtesy of senior Autumn Finney. Finney covered an incredible distance to get to a lost-cause ball in the back, laid out with a dive, and somehow mustered enough power to return ...
What Are The Sixers Even Doing With Markelle Fultz?
It’s too early—far, far too early, in fact—for any conclusions or pronouncements having to do with Markelle Fultz as an NBA prospect. But if you’ve watched the first three games of Fultz’s career, I think you’re probably feeling the same concern I am this morning: How sure are we that Fultz is healt...

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:...

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 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.

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?...
