Golfer Fight!
If you spend enough time on golf courses, you are bound to be involved in or bear witness to a scuffle.

Carmelo Anthony Apologizes To Vanessa Carlton For Being A Big Grumpus

Ken Rosenthal Is A Good Reporter And He Had To Eat Some Shit
One piece of evidence that Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal is very good at his job is that when he reported that Yasiel Puig stormed out of Dodger Stadum after being told he was going to be traded or demoted, it was accepted as gospel even without confirmation from either side, or even anyone else reporti...

The best first pitch of 2016 does not belong to a 92-year-old World War II veteran, Snoop Dogg, or, uh, whoever these people are. No, the honor goes to John McEnroe, who smoked this fastball in to open this evening’s Mets-Yankees game....
Team USA Did Some Cool Dunks Tonight
The best highlight that the future gold medal-winning basketball dudes of Team USA produced this week was DeMarcus Cousins mocking Draymond Green for broadcasting his dong to the masses.

What's Going On Between The Dodgers And Yasiel Puig?

The United States U19 men’s national team lost to Bahrain today, 3-1, crashing out of the COTIF tournament in Spain despite defeating the hosts only a few nights earlier.

The Olympics Are For Humans, Not Horses
What is the purpose of the Olympics? For the few thousand bureaucrats who divvy up the Games, give out contracts, and get kickass bribes, it is to enrich themselves. For everyone outside of the corruption apparatus of the Olympics, they are an exhibit of the best sportspeople, playing their sports. ...

Your MLB Trade Fucking Deadline Roundup
The MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and although news of more deals could trickle in over the next few hours, I think it’s safe to say that the hot fucking stove was only moderately hot today.

Everything's Coming Up Joe Maddon
Judging a baseball manager’s long-term, direct impact on his team is one of the hardest things to do with any true accuracy. There are of course the ostentatiously bad decisions—bringing a young starter out of the bullpen on three days rest, having the three-hole hitter sacrifice bunt, etc.—that are...
