The UFC Fucked Up Badly This Weekend, Says The UFC
On Saturday, the UFC held a fight card in Macau, which would in no way be notable if not for the fact that UFC figurehead Dana White, not liking the way judge Howard Hughes scored the first two bouts, actually made him stop judging during the event. Hughes didn't work any more fights for the rest of...

Giancarlo Stanton Is Rightfully Wary Of The Marlins' Stink
Giancarlo Stanton is having a tremendous year. He leads the NL in WAR, and he's carried a plucky young Miami Marlins team that is without ace José Fernández to a .500 record and within range of a Wild Card spot. On a normal team, a season like this would leave a player like Stanton feeling enthused ...

Why Do Tennis Players Grunt? Because It Works
Monica Seles gets the blame—at 93 decibels, her screams on the court were about as loud as a motorcycle, and started the run on grunting in tennis. It was frowned upon at first, but everyone's climbed on board—Djokovic, Nadal, Sharapova, Serena, and Venus, they all get their shriek on. A generatio...
ESPN Reports On Who Is And Isn't Showering With Michael Sam
This morning's episode of SportsCenter briefly checked in with reporter Josina Anderson, who is on the scene at Rams training camp. She was asked to talk about how Michael Sam is fitting in with his new teammates, and Anderson went ahead and told us about how Sam's showering habits....
Stone Arrogant Bastard: An Obnoxious Name For An Outstanding Beer
Time Out Chicago's Amy Cavanaugh recently criticized Pig Minds Brewing for naming their new blueberry beer "PD California Style Ale." The label features a waist-down image of a cartoon lady in a skirt with her underwear around her ankles, leaving no doubt what PD stands for: This beer is designed ...
Sean Gilbert, Running For NFLPA Head, Proposes 18-Game Season
Sean Gilbert, who played DT for four teams over 12 seasons before retiring in 2003, had announced he will run against DeMaurice Smith for executive director of the NFLPA. In a release today, Gilbert announced his platform—and it begins with nothing less than blowing up the current CBA....

Haughty Dipshit Gregg Easterbrook Makes Terrible Book Recommendations
For today's Buffalo News, columnist Greg Connors did a neat thing, asking a bunch of sports media people—some local, some national—to name their favorite sports books. They listed some really good titles, and it's fun to see what writers like Bryan Curtis, Will Leitch, and Josh Levin came up with. Y...
If You Play Football At Tennessee, You'll Hang Out With Beyoncé, Maybe
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Clemson have heavily recruited defensive lineman prospect Shy Tuttle, but the Volunteers tried to edge out the competition with a fake magazine cover featuring Beyoncé and Tuttle hanging out. Oldest trick in the book....
Washington Has A Fake Quarterback Controversy On Its Hands
I'm mindful of playing into the silly-season stupidity here and making a big deal of this, because it's surely empty bluster: Robert Griffin III is not about to lose his starting job to Kirk Cousins. But the growing criticism of Griffin's quarterback play is most certainly a real thing, and some of ...
Get Bent: I Watched The <em>Simpsons</em> Marathon For 24 Hours Straight
I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons growing up. It wasn't until I was 10 or so that my parents let my sister and I watch a single episode, and then only because they'd heard it had some kind of moral: "Bart learns a lesson," something along those lines. I remember the exact episode: "Radio Bart...
How Well Does Sports Science Prevent Injuries?
Hang around sports stat nerds long enough, and you'll hear one of them spew out, "Injuries are the new Moneyball," or something near enough to carry the message. Point is, injuries are bad for business, and teams are increasingly throwing "sports science" at the problem. So how's it working so far? ...
Adrian Beltre And Elvis Andrus Continue To Be Hilarious
Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus, who are basically baseball's version of a buddy-cop duo at this point, put on another one of their comedy routines last night. After Andrus floated over to his right to field a pop fly in Beltre's territory, the two had a little tête-à-tête about who exactly needs...

Anxious About The World's Most Dominant Gymnast? Blame It On Rio.
A year and a half ago, Simone Biles was a last-minute substitute at the 2013 American Cup. There she placed second behind 2011 junior national champion Katelyn Ohashi after losing an early lead with a fall from the beam. At that meet, Biles couldn't win with a fall. But at this weekend's nationa...

Football Player Who Was Convinced He Had CTE Found To Have CTE
The really heartbreaking thing about today's Associated Press profile of former college linebacker Michael Keck, who died last year at age 25 from unrelated causes, is just how damned banal it is. Normal kid plays football. Normal kid suffers head injuries. Normal kid turns violent and depressed and...
