Struggle
It's stupid to distill a baseball game down to a single play. They're a complex, evolving series of discrete events. If you were going to try, though, Game 1 of the World Series would maybe look something like this. ...

I Am Fascinated By This Soccer Fan Who May Or May Not Be A Zombie
The photo above—first flagged by Cork Gaines on Twitter—was taken on May 21, 2003, before Celtic took on FC Porto in a UEFA Cup match in Seville, Spain. My first reaction to this photo went like this: "Wait, I think that purple-faced guy might be dead." Then I went looking for more photos of this du...
Paris Saint-Germain Are Bullshit
We can't keep letting PSG do this. Yesterday, the French giants took on Cyprian giants/world ants APOEL in Champions League play. This was a match even schizophrenic PSG couldn't muck up, right? No. Instead of a dominating performance on a day full of them, we saw another typically lackadaisical dis...
Graphic: The Atlanta Falcons Don't Know Where London Is
To give Falcons fans an inside look on the team's journey across the pond for this weekend's game against the Lions, the team has posted an infographic detailing the travel schedule. It ... has at least a couple mistakes....
The Tick Has Returned To Save Us From Glum-Superhero Overload
As a superhero junkie, you can spend your days now picking your side in the Civil War. You can start imagining the furniture situation in the Hall of Justice. You may even be really into Shazam. Not I. In a world where not even that terrible Green Lantern movie can kill the next Green Lantern movi...
Bill Murray Reminisces About Slingin' Little Caesars Pizza
Itinerant viral-video elf Bill Murray appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night and talked about making pizzas at Little Caesars earlier in life, "back when Little Caesars was really great." (So, like, presumably before they attempted to turn "our pizzas are old!" into a marketing angle.) He w...
NBA Shockingly Votes Against Anti-Tanking Measures
Today's vote on a proposal to re-weight the NBA draft lottery to discourage tanking was expected to pass with near-universal support. Instead, it fell hard, receiving only 17 of the 23 necessary votes for adoption. The 76ers' Tankapalooza is back on!...
Here's How 9/11 Truther Pete Carroll Would Have Prevented The Iraq War
Seattle Times staff columnist Jerry Brewer's latest column begins with a conversation he had with Seattle Seahawks head coach and noted 9/11 truther Pete Carroll over a year ago. Somehow, the conversation veered into Carroll laying out his plan for handling the war in Iraq....
What's Up With James Shields?
An awesome nickname can be a burden. As fun as it is to earnestly refer to James Shields as "Big Game James," the moniker is just as satisfying when deployed sarcastically after another lousy playoff performance. Try it. You'll like it....
Hunter Pence's Postgame Interview With Erin Andrews Got Pretty Awkward
Hunter Pence shitting all over Erin Andrews's question was bad enough, but then he had to go and make things even worse by apologizing for it. The last thing you want to hear from someone who just made things awkward is "Uh, sorry for making things awkward."...
Royals Winning Blueprint Shredded Early By Giants
The Royals have concocted a simple formula for playoff success: solid starting pitching, lockdown relievers, and scratching out juuuust enough runs to win. With three relievers—Wade Davis, Kelvin Herrera, and Greg Holland—who had an ERA below 1.50 during the regular season, and one of the weakest-...
Giants Fan Custom Makes Bawdy T-Shirts
When your favorite team makes the World Series, it can be difficult to tell the true fans from the bandwagon ones. If you were to go, say, to a packed San Francisco bar like The Brick Yard to watch a game, you might be mistaken for a bandwagoner. Solution: screen print up some clever t-shirts for ...
Video Finally Surfaces Of Willis Reed Fighting The Entire Lakers Team
Everybody knows about Knicks center Willis Reed's legendary walk onto the court for warmups before Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, a game he wasn't supposed to play. Reed only made two shots in 27 minutes, but as Bob Ryan said in the linked SportsCentury documentary: "The spiritualism of the mome...

CONCACAF Champions League action resumed tonight, and MLS's Portland Timbers traveled to Honduras to take on Olimpia—where they were greeted just moments into the match by this over-the-head flip goal by Romell Quioto....
Arkansas St. Scores Touchdown Because Runner Tackled Onto His Teammate
Arkansas State gave up 34 points in the first 21 minutes of their game tonight against Louisiana-Lafayette, but they gained seven of those back when running back Michael Gordon took a hit, went down, and decided to keep running—70 yards for a touchdown....
Yes, That Damn Marlins Fan Is Back
Miami Marlins fan Laurence Leavy is a regular behind home plate at the World Series, and he's in his usual spot for tonight's Game 1. But since we still get questions about him, here's our post from two years ago. ...
