It's Goff Time, Motherfuckers
Strap the fuck in, because the 4-5 Los Angeles Rams finally gave us a reason to watch their quest for 7-9. Finally, after months of dithering, Jeff Fisher has made the move. Case Keenum? Benched! First overall draft pick Jared Goff? Ready as shit....

LeBron's Business Partner Angry At Phil Jackson For Saying LeBron Has A "Posse"
During an interview with ESPN in which Knicks president Phil Jackson criticized LeBron James’s alleged attitude of entitlement during his tenure with the Heat, Jackson at one point referred to James’s group of friends as a “posse.” Maverick Carter, James’s friend and business partner, did not like t...

Pete Carroll Was Not Impressed By Patriots Fans
The Seahawks’ Sunday night win at the Patriots was a pretty excellent game between two of the NFL’s best, but Seattle coach Pete Carroll is wondering why it felt like a preseason crowd....
Eli Manning Read The Bengals' Defense Like A Coloring Book
Eli Manning was slinging (for better or for worse), Odell Beckham was doing his thing, the defense looked like a throwback to the best Tom Coughlin years in the way it pressured Andy Dalton, and even the much-maligned running game picked up a huge first down to run out the clock, something the Giant...
The Bengals Are Mediocre As Hell
Marvin Lewis has been the head coach of the Bengals for 13 seasons, and in all that time, he’s won exactly zero playoff games. The knock on Lewis has always been that his teams are pathologically incapable of winning in the postseason, but it seems likely that he won’t be able to add to that legacy,...
Kristaps Porzingis's Swagger Is Undeniable
No piece of NBA ephemera has entertained me this season as much as Kristaps Porzingis showing off apparent tinges of a New York accent. ...
Flopping-Ass Marcus Smart Conned His Way Out Of A Humiliating Posterization
Perhaps Marcus Smart’s most distinctive basketball skill is his gift for flopping. The Celtics point guard is liable to careen wildly in anticipation of any contact, and he pulled off my favorite flop in NBA history. “I was just trying to make winning plays for my team,” Smart said of the below flop...
Marcus Morris Wanted No Part Of This Russell Westbrook Dunk
Russell Westbrook is a tiny rocket ship in high tops who dunks like he’s trying to punish the rim for some ancient crime committed against the Westbrook family line. He took flight this evening against the Pistons, prompting the Detroit defense to sound the alarm and clear the decks. Marcus Morris r...
Pep Guardiola Apparently Gave His Players A Sex Curfew
Pep Guardiola is notoriously exacting. The Manchester City manager used to regulate which cars his players were allowed to drive while he was coaching at Barcelona, so it’s no surprise then that Guardiola has takes on when he wants his players to do it (sex)....
Report: Rob Gronkowski Finished Last Night's Game Despite Having A Punctured Lung
Rob Gronkowski, the NFL’s most talented Shot Ski, got one of his lungs punctured during his team’s loss to the Seahawks last night, yet somehow managed to finish the game, per Ian Rapoport. Gronkowski has a history of playing with injuries, but playing professional football through a punctured lung ...

Give Bill Walton His Damn Bike Back [Update]
Here are some facts about Bill Walton: He has a long history of serious injuries to his back and feet; those injuries and the 40-odd surgeries he’s undergone to manage them have caused him great pain, and at one point he said he contemplated suicide; he has a near-religious affinity for riding his b...

You Never Know Which Stan Wawrinka You're Going To Get
Last we saw the third-ranked tennis player in the world, he was stumbling out of the first round in Paris, shown the door by the world No. 91. Before that, in Basel, he crumbled against No. 72 Mischa Zverev, facing visible mental collapse in the third set. And in today’s rematch of the U.S. Open sem...
Alshon Jeffery Suspended Four Games For Violating PED Policy
Alshon Jeffery is not having the best year. He’s set to be a free agent this offseason, and a bounce-back season in which he returned to his 2013-14 form could have set him up for a decent payday. Unfortunately, he’s only got 630 yards and one touchdown in nine games of the season, and now he’s in ...
The NFL Knows America Doesn't Want To Watch The Jets
We already savaged the Rams for their role in the NFL’s least enjoyable game since this Week 1 debacle, but no one deserves to come out of that with dignity intact. The Jets, led by Bryce Petty in his first NFL start, were just as complicit, punting eight times and gaining just 17 first downs. You d...
Professional Plumber Michael Fulmer Could Win Rookie Of The Year Award
Tonight, MLB will announce the rookies of the year for each league and Detroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer is predicted to win in the AL (sorry Gary Sánchez) for his 3.06 ERA over 159 innings. But according to a charmingly puffy new profile out in the Detroit Free Press, the 23-year-old is likely ...
This Week In Jeff Fisher Refusing To Blame His Quarterback
I’d like to apologize to you on behalf of sports if you watched yesterday’s 9-6 Rams win over the Jets, a game that seemed absolutely destined to be a tie and didn’t end up with even that novelty to recommend it. The Jets are so unwatchable that they flexed Tom Brady out of primetime, but let’s not ...
Carmelo Anthony Says The Referee Who Booted Him Has A Grudge
If you’re feeling a sense of cosmic upheaval, that everything around you is shifting, rest assured that the Knicks are still 3-6 on the season and that Carmelo Anthony is still marinating in quiet resentment. ...
