Chris Davis Is Now Officially Part Of Miserable Baseball History [Update]

Chris Davis has done it, it being a thing he definitely didn’t want to do.

Witness The Roller Coaster Of Emotions That Auburn Fans Experienced With Their Team's Crushing Loss Against Virginia

The Warriors Were Given A Delay Of Game Warning Because Nick Young's Ring Ceremony Took Too Long

It’s been a relatively quiet NBA season for Nick “Swaggy P” Young.

That was until Friday night when the Warriors decided to take some time before thei...

Wealthy Dad Who Bought Harvard Fencing Coach's House Insists It Had Nothing To Do With His Son Getting Into Harvard

Harvard is the latest school to get dragged into the college admissions bribery scandal, although this shady dealing is unrelated to the FBI’s bust. Today the Boston Globe published a doozy of a story about a rich dad who was hoping to get his younger son into Harvard, just so happened to buy the Cr...

This Is The Face Of A Man Getting Pulled In The Seventh Inning Of A No-Hitter

It didn’t take too long for the Baltimore Orioles, who came into this season with one of the most clown-ass rosters ever assembled in the history of clown-ass rosters, to do away with whatever good will might have been earned by taking two of three from the Yankees to open the season. They did so by...

Steph Curry Taunts Ref After Incredible Buzzer-Beating Three, Warriors Lose Seconds Later On Weird Foul [Update]

After the Warriors leapt out to a 19-point third-quarter lead against the Wolves tonight, Minnesota responded with a nutty 50-22 run, only to falter at the end of regulation.

Tennis Wunderkind Félix Auger-Aliassime Is Ready To Face The Best

Ah, to be 18 again. A skeleton with no aches, the ability to deplete whole pantries of food without adverse effect, the optimism of seeing all your best years before you, and a lifetime 5-0 record against top-20 players in professional tennis. Fine, maybe that last trait is unique to Félix Auger-Ali...

What Swear Word Did Eli Manning Have To Look Up?

Whatever Michael Avenatti Has On Nike, No One Really Gives A Shit

Michael Avenatti wanted money, it appears. Maybe he thought he needed it.

In the California case, a 197-page document outlines how authorities believe Avenatti misr...

Complete Farce Of A Basketball Team Ends Blowout Loss In Completely Farcical Way

There’s no reason to watch the Phoenix Suns lose on purpose this season except to see how number-one pick DeAndre Ayton is doing (fine, mostly) or watch Devin Booker go all-out for another impressive yet futile solo scoring display. Booker went off again Monday night in Utah, although his own teamma...

Turkey Vulture Flies Through Stephen A. Smith's Office Window In Attempted Bird-On-Bird Violence

The turkey vulture, which lacks the bird voice organ known as a syrinx, is a generally mute bird, with vocalizations limited to grunts and hisses.
