Dangle Yourself From This Fitness Strap For Core Strength, And Also Pain
The gym looked like a South American greenhouse: paned with glass, painted in greens ranging from pastel to neon, studded with tropical foliage, an unevenly paved brick patio sprouting weeds, all surfaces blanketed in a thin film of dust. Everything was highly functional but had the vague look of di...

Rougned Odor Still Isn't Sorry
In the immediate aftermath of delivering what is perhaps the most iconic punch in baseball history, Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor was not sorry about slugging Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista in the jaw.

Mark Fuhrman Was the Biggest Winner In The O.J. Trial
O.J. Simpson is imprisoned and broke and universally accepted as a multi-murderer. That’s likely about the same condition he’d be in if he’d been convicted of killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. So a case can be made that, in the end, he got away with nothing....
Eugene Monroe Says He Won't Stop Fighting To Bring Medical Marijuana To The NFL
On Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens released offensive lineman and marijuana advocate Eugene Monroe. It’s still not clear why the team cut a healthy, starting-caliber player in June, but whatever the reason, Monroe doesn’t sound disheartened....

Knowing that Wales just lost 2-1 to England thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Daniel Sturridge, you might assume that the cameras spotted this emotional Wales fan right after the killing blow was made. ...
England Snatch Win Against Wales With Daniel Sturridge Stoppage Time Goal
You can’t say it wasn’t deserved. Late on in a England-Wales match that was somehow still tied at one goal apiece despite the Three Lions creating more and better chances, England got the winner thanks to a brilliant Dele Alli flick and some nifty Daniel Sturridge footwork before he fired the ball i...
Muhammad Wilkerson Is Extremely Fed Up With The Jets
New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson has been one of the most productive defensive players in the league for a few seasons now. He’s been trying to get a longterm contract from the Jets for two years now, but the only offer he has on the table right now is a franchise tag that would pa...
Gareth Bale Puts Wales Ahead Of England With 40-Yard Free Kick
England have dominated Wales in their Euro matchup, but find themselves behind at halftime thanks to this long-range bomb from Gareth Bale. It wasn’t a Robert Green situation, but Joe Hart really should’ve been able to hold onto that one. ...
Ben Simmons Reportedly Isn't Working Out For Any Teams, And He Damn Well Shouldn't
Philadelphia 76ers president Bryan Colangelo revealed that former LSU forward Ben Simmons, the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft, declined the Sixers’ invitation to a pre-draft workout. There’s an impulse to point and laugh at the 76ers, whose shameless tanking has cost them a...
Good Nationals Fan Mocks Ben Zobrist's Strange Batting Stance
Earlier this evening, Jayson Werth’s walk-off hit and subsequent vulgar TV interview capped off a spectacular Nationals-Cubs game. However, far earlier in the game, a Nationals fan stealthily owned the Cubs by mocking Ben Zobrist’s restless butter-churn looking batting stance. TV cameras picked it u...
Carson Wentz Owned By Mighty Bathroom Lock
Let’s check in on the Eagles’ alleged franchise quarterback, Carson Wentz, for whom they traded two first-round picks and three other draft picks. How’s he doing? How’s preseason camp? Arm feeling alright, young buck?...
How On Earth Did Adonis Garcia Hit This Pitch?
The best baseball is the strangest baseball, and with that truth in mind, please enjoy the best offensive highlight of the Braves season, which is Adonis Garcia going golfing this evening in the middle of an at-bat against the Reds. He somehow came up with a hit in the process, despite reaching for ...
Jayson Werth Has A Profane, Shaggy Message For His Haters
The Washington Nationals took the rubber match against the Chicago Cubs this evening after an insane 12-inning affair that featured the Nationals going ahead in the 8th, losing the lead in the ninth, forcing extra innings, falling behind in the 12th, then finally walking off after Jayson Werth singl...
Ichiro Is The True Hit King And Pete Rose Can Eat Shit
Today, Ichiro Suzuki hit an eighth-inning double off of Fernando Rodney to the right field corner. He sent Giancarlo Stanton to third, and he trotted into second base easily, looking mildly annoyed more than anything before he briefly removed his batting helmet to salute the crowd. If you count his ...
College Majors Are Bullshit
When I showed up on the morning of my college graduation, I told whomever was in charge of herding hundreds of hungover almost-grads into a semblance of organization that I had majored in Ancient History....
