In explaining Outkast’s often radical shifts in sound, style, and subject matter between albums, André 3000 has described those transformations as the natural result of the two- to three-year breaks he and his partner, Big Boi, would take between projects, wherein both rappers would live their lives...
Mikhail Prokhorov's Got Jokes
The Brooklyn Nets don’t have a GM. This is a particularly bad time of year to not have a GM, because unloading some expensive, veteran talent in exchange for draft picks or cap relief is a good way for a bad team to begin trying to unfuck itself. So it was no surprise when Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski...

Barcelona Take A Penalty The Normal Way, And Of Course Miss It
What some people who don’t pay close attention to the team may have missed regarding Barcelona’s trick penalty play this weekend is that, while primarily driven by a desire to do cool shit, it was also probably a reaction to the team’s general penalty woes this season. And so it was no surprise when...
Allen Robinson Got A Tattoo Of His Own Highlight-Reel Catch
If you’re a Penn State fan, you probably remember current Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson’s leaping catch that set up the game-tying touchdown in the 2013 Homecoming game against Michigan. From this point forward, you will also remember that catch if you ever see Robinson with his shirt off:...

A Cheap Massage Is The Best Therapy
Nothing makes you feel the wretched tick of time quite like back problems. This isn’t an issue I’ve had formally diagnosed or treated by a real chiropractor. I know that I should. It’s the result of me feeling constant soreness in my lower back and deducing that my muscles are, basically, defective....
Russian Soccer Player Trolls Turkish Opponents With Vladimir Putin Shirt

Dean Spanos Isn't Done Crapping On Chargers Fans Just Yet
San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos has already decided to torture his fan base by keeping his team in San Diego for one more season before deciding, next January, if he will move it to L.A. for the 2017 season. Based on Spanos’s recent comments, he’s going to ramp up the torment by dangling the po...

Hey, Maybe It's Time To Suspend Radko Gudas Again
Radko Gudas hits people, sometimes (often?) crossing the line from physical to dirty. It’s how he plays, and it’s how he’s going to play until told not to—or until some sort of discipline gets to him. I think it’s about time for the Flyers defenseman to have a few unpaid days off, after his latest d...
Jerod Mayo Retires At Age 29
Jerod Mayo was probably not going to be a Patriot next season, at least not at his current salary. The linebacker has missed the ends of the last three seasons with injuries, and carried the team’s second biggest cap hit behind Tom Brady, and the Pats were expected to release him or demand a signifi...

Eighth Grader Impaled By Gym Floor During Basketball Game
