Dude Breaks Into Texas Capitol Building, Tosses Stuff Around, Gets Arrested
Austin gets a lot of press as a “cool place to live.” It is a growing city full of technology jobs, expensive coffee shops, and the other supposed signifiers of a “hip city.” Something that nobody mentions when listing Austin’s draws: it’s the only city in Texas where you can vandalize original port...
Danny Espinosa Has Zero Hits In The NLDS, But Has Been Hit By Pitch Three Times
Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa has yet to put a ball in play through three NLDS games between the Nationals and Dodgers. He has zero hits, has struck out six times, but has been hit by pitch three times. He is batting .000 in the series, but has a .300 OBP. He has no walks or sacrifice flies....
The Bears Don't Know What They're Doing With Their Quarterbacks Either
The Chicago Bears have the following quarterbacks on their roster: Brian Hoyer, Matt Barkley, and Jay Cutler. Two of those dudes are bad. The other has an injured thumb and the disposition of a disgruntled tabby cat. Not the most enviable position to be in, but let’s see how john Fox plans to figure...
Yale Apologizes For "Dehumanizing Images Of Redface" In Football Program
Yale and Dartmouth played their 100th football game against each other this weekend.

Conor McGregor Fined $150K For Throwing Beverages At The Diaz Brothers
Before Conor McGregor took a narrow decision win over Nate Diaz at UFC 202, the rivals squared off and threw a bunch of water bottles at each other after McGregor arrived late to a press conference.

Tiger Woods Still Too Old And Fucked Up To Play Golf
Tiger Woods hasn’t played a meaningful round of golf since August of 2015, and that’s mostly due to the fact that his body is old and broken. Woods’s camp has repeatedly insisted that the former best golfer alive will return to the course, but all attempts to prove he is in playing shape have so far...
Hey, Cristiano Ronaldo Scored A Pretty Cool Goal!
Well, well, would you look at this. Global icon, all-time soccer great, and technological marvel (seriously, how did they make this android so convincingly human that it takes a solid 10 minutes or so of listening to him before you realize he was “born” in an evil scientist’s underground bunker?) Cr...
I Already Feel Bad For Adam Gase
Quarterback whisperer Adam Gase was the hottest name on the NFL coaching market the last couple of years. In 2014, he reportedly turned down the 49ers’ top job after being told he would have to keep Jim Tomsula on as defensive coordinator, and last year he interviewed with the Browns, Giants, and Ea...
Marquette King Is Good At The Internet
Raiders punter Marquette King is one of the best at his position in the NFL, landing in the top 10 in almost every major statistical category. He’s also a superb internet user whose crafted memes put my work for the Jamboroo to shame. This came to our attention this afternoon, when King dropped this...
Martin Shkreli Talking Like A Human Being Was The Best Part Of The Alt-Right Art Show
#DaddyWillSaveUs, the pro-Donald Trump art show put on this weekend by Milo Yiannopoulos, Lucian Wintrich, Martin Shkreli, and Gavin McInnes, was pretty anti-climactic. After they had been thrown out of The Boiler gallery in Williamsburg, the bad boys of conservatism went scrambling for another venu...
The Big Ten Got Exactly What It Wanted In Rutgers
Over the past two weeks, Rutgers has been outscored by Ohio State and Michigan by a combined 136-0, dropping to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in the Big Ten while sparking yet another round of people asking just why in the hell the Scarlet Knights are a part of the conference.

Crazy Trump Supporter Pushes CNN's Brooke Baldwin To The Edge
We don’t know where CNN keeps finding these wackjobs, but we’re glad they keep putting them on television. Here’s a GOP leader from Kansas named Vicki Sciolaro pushing anchor Brooke Baldwin to a point of no return, with talk of harlots, the “Oral Office,” and dismembered babies, all in an attempt to...
Vivek Ranadivé Deflects Almost All Blame For The Kings' Problems In Surreal Interview
The Sacramento Kings have been hilariously incompetent for a long while now, but especially since Vivek Ranadivé and a group of investors bought them three and a half years ago. They have shuffled through front office decision-makers (Pete D’Alessandro, Chris Mullin, Dean Oliver) and coaches (Keith ...
Laremy Tunsil Hurt Himself Getting Out Of The Shower
Rookie offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil was a surprising omission from the Dolphins’ starting lineup yesterday, as he hadn’t been listed on any injury reports during the week leading up to the game.

This Rude Tweet About The Knicks Is Factually Wrong But Spiritually Correct
ESPN’s NBA-focused Twitter account @ESPNNBA has been doing that thing where a Twitter account counts down the days until the beginning of some new season with photos that correspond to whatever number of days is left until the start of whatever is being anticipated. Today, the account tweeted an ima...
