At Least Jason Heyward Can Still Play Some Defense
It wasn’t so long ago that watching Jason Heyward play baseball was one of the more thrilling experiences the game had to offer. It’s easy to say that about a guy who plays all-world defense in the outfield and knocks the crap out of the ball at the plate, but the 2016 version of Heyward is not that...
Aaron Gordon Got In Some Mid-Game Dunk Contest Practice
Aaron Gordon got robbed at the Slam Dunk Contest last season, and this evening, he got in some early prep for his 2017 run at the title. In the first quarter of the Magic’s game against the Sixers, he robbed Richaun Holmes blind then pulled off a two-handed 360 on the breakaway....

Cheerleaders Display "Trail Of Tears" Banner Before Game Against Team With Indian Mascot [Update]
Tonight’s Ohio high school football game between the Greenfield-McClain Tigers and Hillsboro Indians featured this embarrassing banner presented by the Greenfield-McClain cheerleaders, promising a “Trail of Tears Part 2" for Hillsboro. If that weren’t bad enough—and trust me, it is—it was an away ga...
Pitt Runs Tackle-Around For Fat Guy Touchdown
Pitt tied up Virginia Tech tonight with another touchdown by offensive tackle Brian O’Neill. The 300-pounder took a backward pass to the end zone earlier this year against Georgia Tech, and tonight took a forward handoff—we called this the Revolving Door Play back where I come from—for a five-yard t...
Vine Was The Best Highlight Delivery Machine Imaginable
As the internet mutates, so does the way we consume highlights of sick slams, huge homers, and stuff that happens in football. If YouTube killed SportsCenter and GIFs closed the casket, then Vine danced on its grave....
Anthony Davis Will Show No Mercy
The Pelicans were supposed to be last year’s surprise Western Conference playoff debutante, but instead, injuries and incompetence stripped them of their chance and they pooped out an utterly forgettable 30-win season. Worst of all, Anthony Davis stagnated, got shut down in March with an injury, and...

LeBron James's Dunks Are So Violent
The Cavaliers are cruising in the first game of the NBA season, with a nice healthy fourth quarter lead over the Knicks. It’s gone about how you’d probably expect.

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...
Las Palmas' Exquisite Team Goal Will Make You Drool
A chipped through ball. A volleyed backheel assist. A leaping, volleyed scissor-kick for a shot. Goals don’t get much better than this....
Idiots Who Run Harvard Are Flubbing This Strike Like We All Knew They Would
Almost three weeks ago, Harvard, the schmanciest and richest college in America, let its low-wage dining hall workers go on strike. This move, we boldly said at the time, was very stupid. So how’s it going? ...
