National Parks, Ranked
This is a barren time in the sports calendar. We are in a desolate trough between the international intrigue of the Olympics and the drama and nonsense of football season. I’m goddamn bored.

Cristiano Ronaldo Named Best Player In Europe, Wins Creepy-Ass Trophy
Cristiano Ronaldo, the greatest soccer-playing cyborg ever made/animated, had a year to remember. First, he dragged Real Madrid to Champions League glory (pulling them through the least daunting field maybe ever, but hey, winning’s winning) in May. For his next feat, he stood on the sidelines with w...
Tre Mason's Offseason Has Been Frightening
Where is Tre Mason? Not with the Rams, who said they hadn’t heard from their second-year running back since the end of last season, and placed him on the Reserve/Did Not Report list when he failed to show up at training camp on July 29.

Raiders Apply For "Las Vegas Raiders" Trademark, Release Stadium Renderings
None of this means a Raiders’ move is any closer to reality—we already know Mark Davis wants a new stadium or to get the hell out of Oakland, and the mean ol’ NFL won’t let him go to Los Angeles, and he doesn’t have to money to build a new place on his own—but these are two moves that, if the Las Ve...
