John Klingberg Scores Knuckling Goal From The Neutral Zone
The Dallas Stars defenseman scored this thunderous goal to take a 1-0 lead over the Oilers in the first period tonight. If you look closely at about 27 seconds, you can see that the puck is actually on its side when Klingberg slaps it. This leads the puck to move much like a knuckleball would, and f...
Chick-Fil-A Is Either On A Homicidal Rampage Or Bad At Twitter
So either a Chick-Fil-A employee forgot to log out of the company Twitter account before tweeting about his/her gaming exploits, or the pious chicken chain has snapped and is out here cruising the streets with a weapon, looking for blood, and super chipper about it....

High School Team's Game-Winning Drive Kept Alive By Immaculate Reception
This happened last Friday in a playoff game between Louisville Central and Corbin High in Louisville, Ky. Louisville Central beat Corbin 36-33 thanks to two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second of which was precipitated by this insanely fortunate catch. This may not quite live up to the original Im...

Richard Sherman Mocks NFL With Brilliant Press-Conference Performance
This is so good. At his weekly meeting with the press, Seahawks corner Richard Sherman, a cardboard cutout of Doug Baldwin, and the disembodied voice of actual Doug Baldwin teamed up for a skit that took shots at the money-hungry NFL and stood up for teammate Marshawn Lynch, who was fined $100,000 f...
Players' Tribune Boss Says Tiger Woods Isn't Being Defensive, <em>You</em> Are
Last week, we and many other people made fun of Tiger Woods for revealing himself to be a hollow replicant by "writing" what he imagined to be a scathing takedown of Dan Jenkins's satirical and clearly fake interview with Woods. Now, the editorial director of The Players' Tribune, Gary Hoenig, is ou...
Cheating-Ass Wiener Dog Will Not Be Stopped
The main takeaway here is that all dog competitions should be interbreed. Otherwise, how else are we going to see a Chihuahua get trucked?...
Never Mind That Last-Minute $37M Doha Paid To Win The IAAF Championships
Last week, Doha, Qatar was named the host city for the 2019 IAAF Track and Field World Championships, beating out Eugene, Oregon, and Barcelona, Spain. Now it emerges that the Doha bid offered up about $37 million in "incentives" in the minutes before the vote, and the IAAF wants everyone to know th...
Dice-K To Return To Japan, Take His Mythical Gyroball With Him
After six seasons with the Red Sox and two with the Mets, Daisuke Matsuzaka is apparently returning to Japan, considering a contract with the defending champion Fukuoka Softbank Hawks. He'll always be remembered for the hype, and for his unhittable pitch that in reality is all but unthrowable....
Killer Mike's St. Louis Blues: Live From Tuesday's Run The Jewels Show
Fires, gas masks, rocks, riot gear, gunfire, smoke pouring out of the smashed windows of an Advance Auto Parts ... everyone saw last night's news, and many St. Louisans were wary of becoming part of it. But following a grand jury's decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for t...
Man, Jay Gruden Really Wants To Bench RGIII
Last week, Washington coach Jay Gruden apparently won the power struggle with his quarterback for Dan Snyder's favor. On Sunday, Griffin kept the Skins in the game; he didn't do anything particularly well, but he didn't do anything egregious enough to warrant being benched for Colt McCoy. He'd bette...
The Bills Will Play At Home On Sunday
Despite having more success in Detroit than they've had in Orchard Park in years (though playing the Jets had a little something to do with that), the Bills will return home to a playable Ralph Wilson Stadium for next weekend's game....
J.J. Watt Is Still A Total Anomaly
There was a disturbance in the force over the weekend, when J.J. Watt spent much of the day lined up against backup lineman Marshall Newhouse in the Texans' 22-13 loss to the Bengals and didn't come away with any sacks. That's a little surprising, but only because J.J. Watt is understood to be unrea...

David Moyes Doesn't Know Who His New Players Are
I'd cut David Moyes—who's just moved to a foreign country with a foreign language for a new job in a new league—some slack here, as "Stefano" isn't too far off from "Esteban," but then I think, What if Steve Kerr showed up to practice calling his point guard "Steven" Curry?...
Let's Laugh At The Sixers Playing Completely Hapless Defense
I've been watching this on loop for a good 10 minutes, and I just now noticed that while Damian Lillard is just hanging out, probably trying to figure out if he's somehow gained the ability to freeze time, Wes Matthews is also wide fucking open in the corner. Lillard could have said, "No, this w...
