This Is Why Manuel Neuer Is The Best Goalkeeper On The Planet

Wearing A Backpack To Work Is Fine
Men’s Health recently put out a list of the best work bags for men, and then went so far as to rudely suggest that backpacks are a bad way to haul your stuff to and from work every day. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with a leather portfolio or a posh messenger bag. Especially if you wear a suit every ...
The Colts' Trick Play Was Even More Of A Mess Than We Realized
The Indianapolis Colts’ failed “swinging gate” play was one of the goofier and funnier moments in recent memory. But punter Pat McAfee has gone into more detail on what was supposed to happen—and what went horribly wrong—and the intent behind the play makes a little more sense. The execution, howeve...
Trash-Talking Giants Fan Unprepared For Eagles Fan's Hands
A Giants fan at Philadelphia’s 69th St. Terminal was just speaking truth, according to himself, and an Eagles fan presumably didn’t like whatever truth that was. So, he laid out the Giants fan. A bunch of people cheered....

Former Louisville Players Describe School Using Strippers, Prostitutes In Recruiting
The Louisville basketball program was thrown into the spotlight earlier this month, following the publication of a book written by self-described madame Katina Powell, who claims to have supplied escorts to former members of the Louisville basketball team.

Chinese Soccer Player Accidentally Kicks The Living Shit Out Of Teammate
Li Jianbin only had eyes for the ball. The rest of the world faded away and there was only the ball, Li, and the necessity for Li to punt the thing into orbit. But when his bicycle kick was completed and he fell to the ground, the only thing Li had succeeded in clearing was his Shanghai Shenhua team...
What To Do When Everything Smells Like Smoke
On this episode of the official Ask a Clean Person podcast, hockey writer and newly anointed odor expert Dave Lozo joined me once again to talk about smells—this time, smoke smell from cigarettes, cigars, cloves, and marijuana. We tried to hit the topic from all angles, providing guidance on how to ...
Matt Harvey Took Out Insurance On His Arm
The controversy over Matt Harvey’s innings limit turned out to be a lot of nothing: the Mets merely skipped Harvey’s starts and gave him shorter outings, and he’s off the leash for however long this playoff run lasts. But that doesn’t change the fact that Harvey’s already thrown 23 more innings than...
That Troy Tulowitzki Ejection Sure Was Strange
MLB is lucky last night’s Royals-Blue Jays game was a victory for the Jays, because if the Royals had pulled ahead late and Troy Tulowitzki hadn’t been there to bat in the bottom of the ninth, all of Canada would be calling for home plate umpire John Hirschbeck’s head....
Marcus Mariota Has Sprained MCL After Late And Low Hit

The Blue Jays Bludgeoned the Royals In Just Two Innings
The Royals traded for Johnny Cueto to be their postseason ace, and in the deciding Game 5 of the ALDS he was exactly that, giving up just two runs across eight innings in the 7-2 victory. The Royals didn’t need Cueto to be that good tonight, but they did need him to avoid pitching putridly. He wasn’...
