Director Of Terrible FIFA Movie Rues His New Rep As A Propaganda Man
Frédéric Auburtin had the misfortune of directing the colossal flop that was United Passions, the movie about and paid for by FIFA. And while directing an awful movie itself can usually be brushed off pretty easily, the recent scandal has inflicted lasting scars on Auburtin’s reputation, as he expla...
Draymond Green Found His Cockiness And Saved The Warriors
Draymond Green certainly didn’t deserve to win the Finals MVP award (neither did Andre Iguodala, for that matter), but it’s hard to imagine the Warriors putting this series away without his resurgence, which began in Game 4 and ended with last night’s championship-clinching triple-double....
Clint Dempsey Red Carded For Tearing Up Ref's Notebook
The Portland Timbers met the Seattle Sounders last night in the U.S. Open Cup.

MVP Award Be Damned, These Were The LeBron Finals
This is a statistical accomplishment I honestly never considered was even possible: in the NBA Finals, LeBron James led all players on both teams in points, assists, and rebounds. That’s a Finals first—obviously—and in the first two categories, it wasn’t even close. The Warriors won as a team; the C...
Report: Not All Of The Data Hacked From The Astros Was Leaked Publicly
The original New York Times story on the St. Louis Cardinals hacking scandal gives a broad outline of what happened, but as it describes an investigation in process, it is disappointingly light on crucial details like who perpetrated the hacking, when they did it, why they did it, and how exactly it...
J.R. Smith's End-Of-The-Season Handshakes Are Sadder On A Hoverboard
Look at this man, just slowly rolling through a crowded arena as he heads off to wherever he is going to spend the offseason. ...
Andre Iguodala Wins Finals MVP, Deserves All This Damn Shine
Andre Iguodala won the Finals MVP vote 7-4 over LeBron James (Steph got 0 votes). This makes it four Finals in a row that that MVP goes to LeBron or the guy checking him, and few guys in the league deserve a spot to shine quite like Dre. Below is a post from just after he shouldered his way into the...
The Golden State Warriors Are Your 2015 NBA Champions
This is the most sportswritery thing I’ll ever write, but all season long the Golden State Warriors won as a team. Sure, Stephen Curry was the MVP of the league, but he was far from a one man band. Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Bogut all won league-wide awards. After two stagnant season,...
This Moment Of Phillies Ineptitude Brought To You By The Bullpen Phone
How bad were the Phillies against Baltimore tonight? So bad they had to bring in Jeff Francoeur to pitch. Except that Francoeur couldn’t get anybody out, so pitching coach Bob McClure tried to call down to the bullpen to get a real pitcher up. One problem: the bullpen phone was off the hook after Ph...

Deadcast: Did La’el Collins Stiff A Hooker Who Ate His Ass Out?
It’s the question of our time, really: Did Dallas Cowboys rookie free agent lineman La’el Collins help himself to a free tossed salad? A self-proclaimed “orally gifted” escort who goes by the handle of THROATZILLA certainly thinks so, and she publicly unloaded both barrels on Collins earlier this mo...
<i>The Tribe </i>Is The Darkest, Greatest Silent Movie You'll See All Year
Most movies, even some of the greatest, encourage you to be passive. As intellectually stimulating or deeply moving or incredibly exciting as they might be, your role is to sit back and let it wash over you. When critics describe a film as “challenging,” it usually means a little work is required on...
