Remember When Donald Trump Got Booed For Butchering "Take Me Out To The Ballgame”?<em></em>
The day: July 9, 2000. The place: Wrigley Field.

Jonathon Simmons Flushed Steph Curry Down The Toilet

Corey Kluber, Goddamn
The Indians have been nigh unbeatable this postseason thanks to a bullpen that’s seemingly incapable of getting roughed up and a propensity for whacking big dingers.

Remember When The Chicago White Sox Won The World Series?
One of the less-mentioned aspects of the Chicago Cubs making the World Series is the fact that they haven’t done so in 71 years, and haven’t won a World Series in 108 years. Unless you’re a hardcore Cubs fan, you probably haven’t heard about these statistical anomalies....
Xherdan Shaqiri's Left Foot Had A Hell Of A Game
It seems almost quaint now to remember that last summer, the fallen wonderkid Xherdan Shaqiri at first rejected, before accepting, the bejeweled life raft Stoke City tossed him in order to rescue him from Inter’s bench and the career obsolescence that loomed dangerously close. Stoke are a mainstay i...

Jim Harbaugh Just Can’t Let Anything Go<em></em>
Jim Harbaugh’s thirst for COMPETITION and WINNING is perhaps only matched by his enthusiasm for good ole milk. The latest, and perhaps silliest, example of Harbaugh’s unceasing intensity came this afternoon at his weekly press conference....
