Sunderland Smash Up Sorry-Ass Everton To More Or Less End The Premier League Season
So that’s pretty much it, eh?

MLB Suspends Bryce Harper One Game
MLB has fined and suspended Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper for one game for “his actions” after he was ejected in Monday’s game against the Tigers. Harper will appeal....
White Sox Bullpen Catcher Snatches A Homer With His Bare Hand
I like bullpen catchers. They all look like jovial dads who would be happy to help you with your math homework before heading out to the backyard to have a catch. They never get any camera time, so it’s nice to see one shine when he gets the chance:...
Remember When Eden Hazard Did Dope Shit Like This All The Time?
It was only a year ago when Eden Hazard, the pearl of the Chelsea juggernaut that cruised to the title, was skipping and shimmying his way past Premier League defenses with the rakish spirit and effortless grace of one of those dancing tough guys in West Side Story. This year, for both Hazard and hi...
Watch Steph Curry Ruin Defenders' Lives For Eight Minutes
To celebrate Steph Curry’s second MVP award, the NBA pulled together the best highlights of his career. The compilation has some nifty gems from when the Golden State Warriors were sad and middling, but my favorite has to be Curry in a painfully obvious mismatch against Tyler Hansbrough when he was ...
Report: Richard Pitino Overspent Private Jet Allowance With Permission Of Sexually Harassing Ex-AD
Remember Norwood Teague, the former University of Minnesota athletic director who resigned last fall after he sexually harassed a number of women? A recent university audit found that, apparently with his encouragement, the Gopher men’s and women’s basketball teams misspent hundreds of thousands of ...
Counterpoint: Pets Are Good
Earlier this morning, this very website presented the case against pets. I would like to offer the following counterpoint:...
Chinese Commentator Can't Help But Laugh At This Striker's Horrible Miss
I mean, Mao Biao of Tianjin Teda does basically save his own “shot” (if you can call him falling over himself and onto the ball a “shot”) from crossing the goal line here. Laughter really is about the only sensible response....
There’s A Lot To Love About This Guy’s Intense Masturbation Diary
So I was reading this Guardian piece on beatin’ it. (Or, depending on the genitals you possess, um...“opening your ham wallet?” Jesus, that’s a terrible euphemism.) It features statistics on the types of people who beat and don’t beat it, how and when they beat it (if they indeed beat it), how often...
Curt Schilling Shares A Truly Transcendent Meme On Facebook
Curt Schilling reposting memes on Facebook is no longer an occurrence worth regularly noting, unless it’s an exceptionally ridiculous meme. This is one of those times....
The Atmosphere At The Boleyn Ground Last Night Was Fantastic

What Can You Get Out Of Using A Personal Trainer?
The image of a personal trainer is usually a chipper, sinewy person in expensive gym wear, ready to pump you up, catering to either serious athletes or folks with serious disposable income. This may be ... largely true, but even as a member of neither of those categories, it’s still be worth looking...

The Case Against Pets
Let’s talk about pets. They are made for cuddling. They nuzzle and purr and wiggle. They show their cute little bellies, asking for scratches. When we’re blue, they bring comfort. When they act like silly imbeciles, we make videos of them and share their antics with strangers on the internet. Pets g...
Why Is This Ump Kicking Dirt Onto The Plate?
Today’s bizarre video comes courtesy of a Texas Bi-District Playoffs game between Texas High School and Whitehouse High School. After a Texas High player mashes a homer, it sure looks like the umpire runs over to kick a bunch of dirt on home plate....
A Russell Westbrook Rebound Is An Event
If you watch enough sports, you learn to anticipate when something cool is about to happen. You know what’s coming after Steph Curry spins his defender with a bouncing crossover beyond the three-point line, or when Adrian Peterson gets a safety one-on-one in the open field, or when Chris Sale works ...
There's No Secret To Why The Capitals Lost
“We didn’t really play good enough for long enough,” Braden Holtby said. The Washington Capitals were very good, over a very long season, but even good teams falter when they run into better ones. ...
