The Most Badass Goals Are Roberto Firmino's No-Look Goals

NBC Only Aired 60% Of The Winter Games Closing Ceremony Last Night, So Here's The 40% You Missed

Ronda Rousey Beat Up Her Boss On The First Day At Her New Job

Mirai Nagasu Apologizes For Wild Comments Made After Disappointing Free Skate
Hey, remember that unhinged interview Mirai Nagasu gave following her bafflingly poor free skate performance? The one where Nagasu framed the fucking Olympics as an audition for Dancing With the Stars? The one where she threw her teammates under the bus? What the hell happened there?...

Austrian Cross-County Skier Running Second Makes Wrong Turn, Finishes Ninth
Of all the ways of failing to medal in a grueling 30-kilometer cross-country race, Austrian Olympian Teresa Stadlober certainly discovered the most excruciatingly regrettable: She got lost. She took a wrong friggin’ turn and got lost. Per the Associated Press:...
