The Beat Generation Starter Kit
The Beats were the Nirvana of their generation: individualistic, drug-addled, and, unfortunately, sometimes held responsible for the Nickelbacks created in their wake. Beats begat beatniks, those beret-wearing, saxophone-loving hipsters who morphed into gross ’60s hippies. And now this loose collect...
Rick Reilly Just Will Not Go Away
Since going into something like semi-retirement two years ago, disgraced dentistry enthusiast Rick Reilly has stayed relatively quiet, delighting sports fans everywhere. Not two weeks ago, though, he emerged with a long, bad SI cover story on the Golden State Warriors, and now he’s sent out what wil...

Rick Carlisle Calls Out Referee For Baiting Deron Williams Into A Technical Foul

Actually, Ruben Amaro Was Very Into Analytics, Says Ruben Amaro
Ruben Amaro, Jr. took over as Phillies GM right after they won the World Series in 2008, and for a few years maintained that success. But as the Phillies’ core aged, Amaro made a string of terrible moves, to the point where the Phillies were one of the worst teams in baseball the past three seasons,...
ESPN Falls For Fake Jay Glazer Tweet About Olivier Vernon Signing With The Jaguars
ESPN’s NFL Live bit hard on a fake tweet about defensive end Olivier Vernon signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars today. Trey Wingo broke the “news” from “Fox Sports,” threw it to Adam Schefter for details (on a signing that didn’t occur), and opened it up to the panel. There’s something perfect abo...
Donald Trump Shouts Out Paul O'Neill At Press Conference, Gets His Endorsement
Former Yankees outfielder Paul O’Neill showed up at the press conference turned Home Shopping Network program that Donald Trump, a short-fingered megalomaniac, held in Florida tonight, and even got a shoutout during Trump’s speech. John Kasich will be torn up about not getting his fellow Ohioan’s su...
Olympian Nick Willis Talks About Beating Porn
“I am 2.5 years porn free (and it feels AMAZING).” New Zealand Olympic silver medalist Nick Willis dropped this bomb on Facebook last week, adding, “Since I was a teenager, it had been a rollercoaster ride of shame and justification as I was on and off with this addiction. Not until I realized the t...
DeAngelo Williams Has Petty And Righteous Thoughts About Peyton Manning
Today is the day when everyone is supposed to shower Peyton Manning with praise. That’s all fine and good, but I’m personally glad that DeAngelo Williams is here to balance things out with some raw pettiness (especially since much of it comes at the expense of Pete Prisco, wearer of weird shorts)....
NFL Player Earl Wolff Was Kidnapped At Gunpoint Last Month In North Carolina
Earl Wolff, a safety out of N.C. State who has played for the Eagles and the Jaguars, was the victim of an armed kidnapping on February 23. According to a report yesterday from the Fayetteville Observer, Wolff was visiting friends when armed men forced him into his car. Police are unsure how long he...
Illinois Football Fires The Coach They Just Hired (Update: Lovie Smith Will Reportedly Replace Him)
Remember back in late November, when the Illinois Fighting Illini had just lost to Northwestern to wrap up a 5-7 season, and the school announced it had signed interim coach Bill Cubit to a two-year, $2.4 million deal? At that time—right after they’d hired him!—interim AD Paul Kowalczyk told reporte...
Dumbass American Has The Stupidest Ideas On How To "Fix" The Champions League
What you’re about to read is really, really stupid. Like, snap-your-laptop-in-two-over-your-knee stupid. Seal-up-Europe’s-borders-Donald-Trump-style-to-keep-out-Americans stupid. And as a soccer fan on this side of the Atlantic who doesn’t share sports executive Charlie Stillitano’s braindead takes ...
Brett Phillips's Laugh Remains The Best Thing In Baseball
Brett Phillips, the Brewers’ 21-year-old outfielder, won’t make the big club out of camp, though as one of the franchise’s better prospects, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him come up later this year. In the meantime he’s here to get better, and to show coaches what he can do, and maybe some other base...
Curt Schilling Is Back With Some Takes On Hillary Clinton And Donald Trump
With the interminably long primary season crawling towards the election, you should probably expect to hear a lot from ESPN baseball analyst Curt Schilling. He has (somewhat) toned down the social media postings that got him into trouble with his employer, but he’s going to continue offering his pol...
This Rick Reilly Thing Sucks So Much
Last we heard from Rick Reilly, he was retiring to Italy after ESPN finally got tired of him recycling his own material. So what happens when you give an old sportswriter who perfected the art of mailing it in a shot at a Sports Illustrated cover story? You get this pile of shit....
NASCAR CEO Brian France, Hall Of Famer Bill Elliott Endorse Trump For President
Donald Trump—who is what happens when a fart farts and also quite possibly the GOP nominee for president—got a collection of endorsements today from NASCAR: Chairman and CEO Brian France, Hall of Fame driver Bill Elliott, and current drivers Chase Elliott, Ryan Newman, and David Lee Regan....
Brewers Minor Leaguer Can't Stop His Ridiculous Laugh
