What's Up With That Spray The Referee Used On Brazil's Free Kick?

Yoenis Cespedes Gets Howie Kendrick Out At Home With A Flawless Throw
The only reason Howie Kendrick turned third and ran home was because Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes let Mike Trout's hit initially get away from him in the eighth inning. The key word is "initially." Cespedes compensated for his error with a flawless throw home to get Kendrick out. Watch the m...
Rick Reilly Didn't Always Suck
Rick Reilly published the last column of his career on ESPN.com today. It's not very good, as is the case with most of the stuff he's written since becoming a self-plagiarizing boob. But instead of dwelling on the present, let's send Reilly off by remembering the stuff he used to write before he sta...
Jonathan Quick Saved Everything And Salvaged Some Respect
The odd thing about this series, where L.A. finds itself up 3-0, is that it's never felt particularly dominant. The Kings have clearly been the better team, but Games 1 and 2 could have gone either way, and everything save the scoreboard says last night's 3-0 win was fortuitous. ...
Derek Fisher Is The Next Ex-Knicks Coach
Bleacher Report's Howard Beck is reporting that human bicep curl Derek Fisher will be the next coach to be fired by the New York Knicks.

Landry Fields took part in Sing Your Face Off, a celebrity singing competition on ABC in which the contestants dress up like the artists of the songs they're covering.

Weezer's Drummer Catches Frisbee During Song, Keeps Playing
Patrick Wilson, drummer for Weezer, is a pretty smooth operator. Not only can he play drums, but he can play drums, track an incoming frisbee, catch the frisbee with one hand, transfer it to his mouth, and then put it down, all without missing a beat. ...

BBQ Chicken Pizza Smackdown: Pizza Hut Vs. Domino's
Several years ago, I came across a ranking of careers based on overall desirability. "President of the United States" was somewhere in the lower-middle of the pack, because it offers the most power and prestige, but also has the highest workplace fatality rate, terrible job security, brutal hours, a...
Colin Kaepernick's "$126 Million Contract" Is Remarkably Team-Friendly
We've learned long ago that the reported figures for big NFL deals should be ignored until the actual details emerge. So when Colin Kaepernick signed a contract that "could be worth $126 million through 2020," I hope you didn't believe either of those numbers. This is a below-market deal that ends w...
The Stanley Cup Will Come Down To The Best Team Vs. The Best Player
The Rangers and Kings are in the Stanley Cup Final because of depth, since this is not basketball, where a small number of very good or great individual players can drag a team to postseason success. You need top-flight players to win championships in hockey, obviously, but just as necessary are low...
Laser Tag Is Fucking War
My plan was to fart. I ate a shitload of Chinese for lunch and five slices of pizza for dinner (CRUSHED those slices), and so I figured that if I farted long and hard enough, I would inflict damage upon my co-workers, regardless of my actual marksmanship. SHUT UP AND FART SMOG SOMEONE. That was my...

Nori Aoki Hit In Dick With Foul Pop
Oh, Nori. Poor, sweet, black-and-blue balled Nori. Days after swinging at a ball aimed at his chest, he took a ball to the dick while trying to track down a pop-up in foul territory. That look of anguish at the very end, oof. Poor guy's had a rough week....
