Cruyff's Turn: How Barcelona's Greatest Icon Created Its Greatest Player
As you’ve probably heard by now, this week marks the 10-year anniversary of Lionel Messi’s first official appearance with the Barcelona first team. The soccer world has come together to celebrate this feat, remarkable for all the obvious reasons—the goals, the passes, the dribbles, the trophies—and ...
Last Sunday Scott Chandler ended the Buffalo Bills' 22-year drought of tight ends failing to reach 100 yards receiving. According to Chase Stuart of Football Perspective, during the Bills' slump NFL tight ends went over 100 yards receiving 289 times. The Patriots did it 29 times with five different ...

Ill-Timed Bench Collapse Makes For Great Soccer Team Photo
This is what happened when Derry City, a professional soccer team from the League of Ireland Premier Division, tried to get together to snap a team photo. Everyone seems to be having a good laugh at the situation, except for that dude on the bottom left. He might be dead....
Justin Bieber's Latest Boxing Highlight Is A Sad Sham
Justin Bieber is bad at a lot of things, like singing and dancing and writing lyrics and dressing and soliciting prostitutes and driving and basketball and other things, too. For some, reason, though, boxer Floyd Mayweather, a very bad, 37-year-old man, has decided to befriend this child, and even...
Katie Nolan Tries To Chug Six Beers Better Than Madison Bumgarner
Katie Nolan has a problem with people claiming that pitcher Madison Bumgarner's chugging four, five, or six beers after the Giants win postseason games. (We've gone with different wordings, because he's really just pouring them on his face, though that's still cool.) So, Nolan attempted to show ho...
Massive Soccer Brawl With Punches, Flying Kicks, Sees 12 Guys Sent Off
Deportivo Roca and Cipolletti, rivals in Argentina's 3rd division, really, really don't like each other. In the middle of a match between the two earlier this week, one bad tackle sparked a full on melee, with multiple players catching fists to the face and studs to the body....
No, The Refs Didn't Illegally Help The Patriots Line Up Last Night
This is a silly thing, but it's gotten enough traction on Twitter, and enough tipsters have emailed us Zapruder breakdowns of it that we may as well address it. No, the ref nudging a New England linebacker out of the infraction zone on the Patriots' game-winning field goal block wasn't enacting a le...
Madison Bumgarner Takes Six Beers To The Face
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner "chugged" four beers at once when his team won the wild card play-in game. When he "chugged" five beers after winning the NLDS, everyone wondered if he'd be able to work his way up to six beers in the event of an NLCS win. So, did he go for the full sixer last night? Y...
But No, Seriously, What The Hell Are The Lakers Doing?
On Wednesday, we took a very brief look at how the Lakers are actively sabotaging themselves. Last night, they lost 119-86 to the Jazz, who suck, and furthered some of their deliberate bad tendencies. A couple new humiliating charts came across Twitter since our first post, so why not throw it in re...
Bruce Bochy Was The Anti-Matheny, And It Made All The Difference
If you're looking for an argument that having a smart manager in the dugout is integral to a baseball team's success, last night's Cardinals-Giants game is it. Not only did it feature Mike Matheny badly managing his club right into a walk-off homer, it had the manager on the other side of the field,...
The Jets Invented A Whole New Way To Lose Last Night
One of the new jack football axioms is that you run when you win, not win when you run. It's insulation against the backwards idea that successful offenses are built around a dominant running game, and more of a guideline than a hard truth. Leave it to the Jets to stretch even benign football wisdom...
Mike Matheny Manages The Cardinals Straight Out Of The Playoffs
According to possibly apocryphal lore, Tommy Lasorda described baseball thusly:...
How To Race 26.2 Miles, Chicago-Style
Some of the most exciting moments in marathon racing have happened in Chicago. Not sure why Chicago. Maybe it's because the Chicago Marathon has the financial means to lure big talent with borderline crazy fearlessness—the ingredients of epic races. Maybe, it's because Chicago's infamous weather a...
Giants Win The Pennant On Travis Ishikawa Walk-Off Home Run
The National League pennant has been won on a walk-off home run—and, like the "Shot Heard 'Round The World" in 1951, it was claimed by the Giants....
