"Serena" "Williams" Is GQ's "'Woman' Of The Year"<em></em>
Serena Williams appeared on the cover of GQ this week as the magazine’s 2018 Woman of the Year. The issue had four covers. On hers, the word “Men” had been crossed out, with “Woman” scribbled above in quotation marks. Some observers, including New York Times tennis writer Ben Rothenberg, were puzzle...
Why Tom Wilson's Suspension Was Reduced From 20 Games To 14
Capitals forward Tom Wilson is eligible to return to action immediately, after an arbitrator reduced his suspension for a preseason hit on Oskar Sundqvist from 20 games to 14 games. Wilson has already served 16 games of this suspension, so perhaps he’ll be allowed to put those extra two games serve...
Markelle Fultz Shooting Form Update: He's Pump Faking Free Throws
Sixers point guard Markelle Fultz’s shooting stroke doesn’t appear to be getting any better. Sure, he went 7-for-9 from the field on Saturday against the Grizzlies, but overall, he has refused to take a three-pointer in the month of November, and his eFG% is worst on the Sixers except for some guy n...
The 49ers And Giants Are Playing Monday Night Football In Some Very Nasty Air
The Camp Fire started in Butte County last Thursday, and it’s already become both the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. The entire town of Paradise is just gone, as the town of 26,000 people was swallowed by the blaze in horrifying fashion shortly after the fire started ...
Nathan Peterman Has Been Released, Man
This evening, at exactly 8:00 p.m. EST, Buffalo Bills fans around the world read the five beautiful words they were beginning to think could never be uttered:...
Cal's Defensive Turnaround Is A Marvel<em></em>
Two seasons ago, the California Golden Bears had one of the most abominable defenses in the country.

How Gritty Conquered America
While Flyers front office types were throwing around names for the new mascot, team president Paul Holmgren tossed out a suggestion: “Gritty.” Players the Flyers liked were always described that way, and Holmgren thought it’d be a good name for a mascot....
Brook Lopez Is Keeping His Résumé Fresh, Learning New Skills, Banging Eight Threes
Brook Lopez entered the league as a smooth post operator with a reliable set shot, and it’s gotten him paid pretty well. A decade-old Jonathan Givony scouting report from Lopez’s days at Stanford now makes for quaint reading. It mopes for a paragraph, fretting about Lopez’s “formulaic” post moves fr...
Zion Williamson Spent Veterans Day Disrespecting The Troops
Veterans Day is a holiday meant to honor the veterans of this nation’s armed forces and the sacrifices they make. However, when entering the paint against Zion Williamson, this holiday gets brought to a momentary halt—you need to get that weak shit out of here, regardless of your status in the armed...
The Jets Defense Somehow Made Matt Barkley Look Competent
Before today, every Bills quarterback who had played in a game this season was either injured or deeply flummoxed by the game of football, so Buffalo’s had to dig deep into the scrap heap to find new guys to trot out. Fishing around with a rubber-gloved hand a few weeks back, they eventually grabbed...
Bills' Dion Dawkins Scores Wide-Open Fat Guy Touchdown
The Bills are currently dominating the Jets despite the fact that their fourth starting quarterback of the season, Matt Barkley, had not played a regular season game since Jan. 1, 2017. Buffalo clearly recognized that its opponent wasn’t going to stop anything today, so the oh-so-reliable fat guy to...
Louisville To Pay Bobby Petrino At Least $13 Million To Get The Hell Out
After a solid run of several fairly relevant seasons, the Louisville Cardinals are a horrifying disaster in 2018. Not only are they winless in ACC play, but almost all of their games have been pathetic blowouts that have served no good purpose besides making Lamar Jackson look like the greatest coll...
The Kings' Arena Was Filled With Wildfire Smoke Before Last Night's Game
Smoke from the Camp Fire raging in Butte County, California—which has killed 23 people since it began early on Thursday—made its way into the Sacramento Kings’ arena ahead of the team’s game against the Lakers on Saturday night. The game was not delayed, but smoke was visible above the court before ...
Report: Zhaire Smith's Rookie Season Gets Delayed Even Further Because Of Complications From A Sesame Seed Allergy

Morgan Rielly Apologizes To Devils' Keith Kinkaid For Scoring Very Savable Goal
It was a tough night for New Jersey Devils goalie Keith Kinkaid. The backup-turned-starter was on the wrong end of a 6-1 shellacking from an Auston Matthews-less Toronto Maple Leafs. ...
Bills Don't Rule Out Yet Another Outbreak Of Nathan Peterman
Nathan Peterman had the best game of his career last Sunday against the Bears. Yes, he threw for three interceptions and no touchdowns as he averaged a horrendous 3.84 yards per attempt on 41 passes, and yes, the Bills lost 41-9, but ... it appears there is no positive point on which to end this se...
Gritty Upstaged The Unveiling Of Yet Another New Philadelphia Mascot
How do you unveil a mascot just a little more than a month after the biggest mascot launch in world history? How do you do it when you’re a smaller team in the same city? Well, you invite all of the city’s mascots and throw a mascot party, of course....
