What Do The Eagles Do Now?

On its face, the Eagles’ decision to dump head coach Chip Kelly after two good seasons and a bad one makes little sense. A good coach is one of the hardest things to find in the NFL, and it’s usually a bad idea to get rid of a coach after just one down year. That logic doesn’t really follow in Kelly...

Lemmy Fucking Ruled

I don’t have anything all that insightful to say about Lemmy, who died tonight, or about Motörhead, the band he lorded over and which lorded over rock and roll longer than I’ve been alive, but they were god damn madmen and you should have loved them if you didn’t....

The Spurs' Mascot Caught A Bat In A Fishing Net While Wearing A Batman Costume

The San Antonio Spurs had a bat problem prior to Monday night’s game against the Timberwolves, for the second time in six years. (The last time occurred on Halloween, believe it or not.)

Jason Peters Pulled Himself Out Of Eagles Loss To Avoid Risk Of Injury

The Philadelphia Eagles needed to beat Washington at home last night to stay in playoff contention.
