Lionel Messi And Marcos Rojo Rescue Argentina From Abject Misery
The stage was all set up for Argentina, until now (and probably still) the single biggest frauds in a tournament defined by fraudhood, to succumb to their misery and die the death they seemed destined for. Somehow, they fought to live another day....
Sergio Romo Tried To Start Some Shit With The Nationals Over A Stolen Base From Three Weeks Ago
Sergio Romo capped off a shutout win for the Rays over the Nationals this afternoon by striking out Michael Taylor.

The Cotton Candy Hot Dog Will Kill Us All
If you haven’t eaten breakfast or lunch yet today, it may be exceedingly difficult to do so now.

Tyler Hilinski's Autopsy Shows Former Washington State QB Had CTE

Getty Images Apologizes For Getting Horny Over World Cup Fans
The World Cup is a time to feel great pride for your country, to find an excuse to drink before noon, and to appreciate the athletic feats of some of the finest athletes on the planet. If you work at Getty Images, it is also a time to scope out hot babes in the stands and get all horned up....
The Bucs Did This To Themselves
Jameis Winston is about to be suspended by the NFL for groping an Uber driver while waiting for food at a Mexican drive-thru. And it’s a very NFL thing that the three-game suspension initially reported by Adam Schefter isn’t necessarily a gimme, because NFL officials have yet to finish inputting all...
Randal Grichuk Pulled A Reverse Bartman On A Potential Game-Tying Homer<em></em>
With the tying Astros run at the plate in the bottom of the ninth, a long fly ball to right from George Springer was utterly robbed of dinger status by the vertical leap of Randal Grichuk. In preserving the Toronto lead, Grichuk thwarted not only the whole Houston team, but also a young Blue Jays fa...
Let's All Laugh At Dellin Betances Trying To Hit Major League Pitching<em></em>
The Yankees are already a 50-win ballclub, and nobody on that team gets strikeouts at a higher rate than relief pitcher Dellin Betances. That’s why I don’t feel too bad laughing along with his teammates as Betances learns what it’s like to be on the other side of Major League pitching. In the eighth...

This Is The World's Ugliest Dog<em></em>
The Sonoma-Marin Fair hosted its annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest this past weekend, and no pooch could beat out Zsa Zsa for top honors. Zsa Zsa is a testament to the horrifying process of inbreeding that sapped the English bulldog gene pool of its diversity, but at least she got first prize! Here...

Iranian Defender: "Diego Costa Cussed Everyone In My Life"
Diego Costa can be a huge dick. In addition to stomping, scratching, and attempting to bite his opponents, he once threw his spit onto Sergio Ramos (yes, he spit into his hand then threw it at another human being—twice). These transgressions, combined with his constant scowling and general grumpines...
Weird FS1 Segment: Say What You Will About Joseph Stalin, But He Had A Sick House

Welcome back to LeBronWatch, your premier source for news about where LeBron James will be playing next season.

Kangaroo On The Field Is Great At Running, Atrocious At Kicking The Ball
This here kangaroo showed up to an Australian women’s Premier League match over the weekend and put together an impressive minute or so of tape. Our pal apparently wandered around the field for about 20 minutes, dozed off, hopped a few fences, and flashed some impressive top-level speed. However, hi...
The Pirates Want Sports Gambling Revenue To Fund Stadium Upkeep
