Can You Top This Halloween Costume?
There’s an obvious bias here, but reader Chris B. has sent us the best Halloween costume we’ve seen this year. He included a video of the “video”:...
The Eagles' Relentless Defense Is Winning With A Scheme From The Bad Old Days
Carson Wentz’s quick acclimation to the NFL is widely credited for the Eagles’ 4-2 start. Wentz has indeed been excellent. But Philly’s defense—and especially its defensive line—has been fantastic through six games, and it deserves its due. Through seven weeks, the Eagles lead the league in DVOA and...
Gus Bradley Is A Dead Man Walking
If the Jaguars were to make a midseason coaching change, there will never be a better time than four weeks ago, entering their bye week. (They screwed that up by winning that last game before the break, their first win of the season.) There will never be a second-better time than right now, after a ...
Boy, <i>Thursday Night Football</i> Is The Best, Isn't It?
We are blessed by the NFL’s benevolence in its grace to provide us the finest professional football every Thursday night. We aren’t worthy of witnessing the incredible talents of the Jacksonville Jaguars weekly—let alone in such a showcase as Thursday Night Football....
Oregon Militia Idiots Run Free
Back in January, a more innocent time, a bunch of misguided, chili-scarfing jamokes decided that the ideal way to start the uprising against the political leaders who dictated federal land policy was to occupy the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which is an obscure bit of federal property out in s...
Desiigner Got Booed Off The Court By Sixers Fans
Desiigner, a popular rapper whose song “Panda” hit No. 1 on the charts despite having only one verse, performed at halftime of the Philadelphia 76ers’ season opener. He did what he does during all of his live performances—which is to say he made a lot of weird noises and spazzed out and never really...
Bob Diaco Fails To Keep His Cool As He Defends UConn's Manufactured Football Rivalry
The Central Florida Knights beat the Connecticut Huskies Saturday in the college football rivalry game known as the Civil ConFLiCT, and earned the right to take home the trophy. UCF passed, instead leaving the prize on a bench. On Tuesday, UConn head coach Bob Diaco, who established the artificial e...
Joel Embiid Is Feeling Himself
Joel Embiid’s second defensive play in the NBA ended with him wrestling Steven Adams to the floor. Adams is a burly fucker with a nasty attitude, but the rookie went straight at him the first chance he got. On his first offensive possession, he immediately pulled up from three. He missed, just as he...
Singer Claims Sixers Prevented Her From Performing National Anthem Because Of "We Matter" Jersey
Singer Sevyn Streeter was supposed to perform the national anthem at the Philadelphia 76ers home opener this evening, but instead, a member of the Sixers’ dance team took the microphone before the game. Some fans were confused, and shortly after the game tipped off, Streeter posted a video claiming ...

Joel Embiid Says He Learned To Shoot By Watching White People Online
Joel Embiid, who’ll make his NBA debut tonight, wants our attention, so badly. He seeks it in many ways: by guzzling Shirley Temples by the syrupy pitcher, by clowning on Andrew Wiggins, or by publicly asking out Rihanna. And we give it to him, maybe a little begrudgingly, because the content is goo...
Andrew Miller Has The Stuff To Get Out Of Trouble<em></em>
Cleveland starting pitcher Corey Kluber was 88 pitches deep after he gave up a leadoff single to Ben Zobrist in the seventh inning of Game 1 Tuesday. He could have seen a couple more batters, but Terry Francona planned ahead, and pulled him for Andrew Miller, the shaggy scarecrow who hadn’t allowed ...
The Sub2 Project Takes Credit For Kenenisa Bekele's Near-World Record Marathon<em></em>
Ethiopian Almaz Ayana set a new world record of 29 minutes 17.45 seconds in the women’s 10,000 meters at the Rio Olympics. About a month later, fellow Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele sped through the streets of Berlin, covering 26.2 miles in 2:03:03. That’s just six seconds shy of the world record, and a ...
Russell Wilson Has A Strange Idea To Avoid Ties
Russell Wilson doesn’t like ties. “I just think that if you play that long,” he said after Seattle’s 6-6 tie with Arizona on Sunday night, “you’re putting your lives on the line. You should find a way to win.” He says he would have been happy to keep playing, though the exhausted Seahawks defense, o...

Here is a neat, one-play summary of how Brock Osweiler’s return to Denver went....
Jim Harbaugh Just Can’t Let Anything Go<em></em>
Jim Harbaugh’s thirst for COMPETITION and WINNING is perhaps only matched by his enthusiasm for good ole milk. The latest, and perhaps silliest, example of Harbaugh’s unceasing intensity came this afternoon at his weekly press conference....
Jalen Ramsey Won't Hesitate To Get Ejected Again
If there’s one thing you need to know about Jaguars rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey, it’s that he hates being disrespected on the football field. If there’s another thing you need to know about him, it’s that he is a great source for juicy postgame quotes....

The Jacksonville Jaguars, Everybody
The Jags had pinned Oakland back for fourth-and-24, and the Raiders made things even harder on themselves by botching the punt’s long snap. The result of the play? First down, Oakland....
