Old Man Wayne Rooney Suffers Dearly For That MLS Life
Wayne Rooney scored his first MLS goal Saturday night, in his fourth match with DC United. The goal came in the 33rd minute of United’s match at home against Colorado—after the ball sort of chaotically pinged around in the midfield, United triggered a quick attacking move and Rooney finished it off ...

Craven Columnist: Various Circus Clowns Say Jimmy Garoppolo Should Not Date A Porn Actress
Several great-grandparents were deeply scandalized this month by the revelation that 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had dinner with porn actress Kiara Mia, despite it being 2018 and there just being nothing lamer than wringing your hands over the social life of a fucking football player....
Whew, Tom Benson's Estate Battle Was Ugly And Sad As Hell
The legal proceedings by which three of late Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson’s closest family members were removed from his businesses and will were ugly, and marked by profane outbursts from an enfeebled Benson, according to a report from the New Orleans Advocate....
Outfielder Carlos Gomez Takes Mound, Pitches Exactly Like Non-Pitcher
The position-player-as-pitcher trend continues piling up numbers at a record pace. Three more position players took the mound Friday night; the total across MLB is now up to 45, by far the most ever for a full season, and it’s still July. One of the recent unfortunate fellows was Rays outfielder Ca...
The Rockets Are Now Equipped To Run It Back
The Rockets have won their contract standoff with restricted free agent center Clint Capela.

Malcolm Jenkins Calls Jerry Jones A "Bully" Who's Intimidating His Players To Stand For Anthem

Team owner Jerry Jones said this week that he expects all his players to stand for the a...
Sad Irish Soccer Feud Shows The Revolution Ain't Over Yet
A massive and fascinating sports brouhaha has been going on in Ireland this week. The roots of the squabble, as with all good Irish squabbles, go back centuries and can largely be blamed on the goddamn Brits. And also Ed Sheeran....
Lance Armstrong Begins His Second Act
Now that Lance Armstrong is out from under the federal fraud case against him, he’s started to more fully step into the public eye, a process which was always going to be fraught with contradictions for someone as famous and reviled as Armstrong. He seems done with being a world-class asshole, thoug...
Let's Remember Some Guys: WrestleMania Vol. III<em></em>
Remembering Guys does not necessarily have to involve trading cards. It’s a pursuit that can be equally at home anywhere on earth—a crowded train or a vast and silent desert work just about equally well for these purposes. I am Remembering a Guy right now. It’s the beefy former Mets corner infield p...
After Years Of Disarray, Impact Wrestling Is Finally Getting It Together
If you’ve read about Impact Wrestling before in this space, you mostly haven’t read anything flattering. The wrestling promotion, which launched with weekly pay-per-view events in 2002 as TNA and is still widely known colloquially by that acronym—Total Nonstop Action, if you were wondering—has long...
Looney Tunes Characters, Ranked
Who would do this? And why? Drew Magary would, was the thing, and was gonna, and I’d rather die than let his rankings speak for the site and wind up with history recording that the place where I work said “R&B/Soul” was the second-best Looney Tunes character of all time. So we turned it into a scien...

Actually John Wall Looks Great
As you may have heard, all of NBA media, and indeed pretty much all of the western world, came together yesterday to deride Washington Wizards all-star guard John Wall for, uh, proudly refusing to conform to our culture’s rigid expectations of what a successful professional male athlete must look li...
The Football World Can't Even See The NFL's Rotten Core
NFL training camps are booting up this week, and that means it’s time for some of the very best players in the league to indicate that they won’t be attending, and in some cases to threaten that they will be sitting out the entire regular season as well. Holdouts are nothing new in the NFL, but some...
Aaron Judge Fractured His Wrist But Stayed In Long Enough To Hit A Single
Aaron Judge got plunked by a fastball up and in on Thursday, suffering a “chip fracture” on his right wrist. He will be out a minimum of three weeks, according to the Yankees....
CBS Sports Columnist Questions Society And Invokes Tebow After Bryce Love Skips Media Day For Class
Stanford running back and last season’s Heisman runner-up Bryce Love didn’t make it to Pac-12 Media Day this week. The returning senior had a perfectly valid reason why he, as a “student-athlete,” couldn’t attend....
