The Complete Collection Of Game 2's Pitcher Home Run Reaction Faces
There were a lot of home runs in last night’s Game 2 of the World Series, an extra-innings Houston victory that tied the series at one game apiece. (A total of eight dingers, the most ever in a World Series game, with five coming in extras alone.) Here those home runs are, in the only highlight form...

Martina Hingis Retires For The Third And Presumably Last Time
Martina Hingis announced her retirement today, after 23 years of professional tennis that began, ridiculously, with her winning major titles and hitting world No. 1 by age 16. She was the sort of prodigy wholly absent from the modern game, obsolete due to the increased physical demands of the sport....
Jim Tomsula Is Back Where He Belongs
Here is a brief clip of Washington defensive line coach Jim Tomsula firing up his players before Sunday’s game against the Eagles. He looks at his linemen and yells, “Everybody play naked! Butt-ass naked! Everybody play butt-ass naked!”...
Brian Bowen Is A Bargain At $100,000<em></em>
Rick Pitino couldn’t believe his good fortune. For months, high school basketball star Brian Bowen had been pursued by the sorts of programs that would ordinarily pursue such a talent—Texas, Arizona, Michigan State. Then, in early June, the lanky, 6-foot-7 small forward suddenly and unexpectedly com...
Why Fire A Winning Manager?
News just broke that the New York Yankees, a team that well exceeded expectations this season and made it to Game 7 of the ALCS, have fired manager Joe Girardi. Based on a statement Girardi gave to WFAN, this does not appear to be a mutual parting....
Vin Scully Returns To Dodger Stadium For First-Pitch Ceremony
If there’s been anything wrong with the Dodgers’ otherwise near-flawless season so far, it’s only that Vin Scully hasn’t been in the booth to call it. While the legendary announcer is hopefully enjoying his long-deserved retirement, the crowd at Dodger Stadium was understandably thrilled to see him ...
Second Woman: George H.W. Bush Groped Me
Earlier this week, actress Heather Lind said in a now-deleted Instagram post that former president George H.W. Bush had sexually assaulted her. “He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side,” she wrote. “He told me a dirty joke. And then, all the while being p...

Annoyed Cam Newton Walks Out Of Press Conference After Question About Big Plays
After laughing at a female reporter and skipping a conference entirely earlier this month, Cam Newton suddenly left today’s Q&A after he initially responded, “Next question,” to a question about big plays....
No Delivery
Here is a scenario that you have probably found yourself in recently: It’s 7:00 p.m., you’re finally home from work after a long day of whatever it is that you do all day at work, and you’re out of food. You don’t want to walk to the grocery store (ugh!), chop up and heat the foodstuffs you’ve purch...
Now Lonzo Ball Has John Wall To Deal With
We’ve already seen the impact of LaVar Ball’s tryhard dad-bluster in the way his son was treated on the court by Patrick Beverley, but it seemed unfair to draw too big an inference from that. That’s because Patrick Beverley is, if you want to be nice about it, a particularly feisty brand of point gu...
The Battle Between Tom Jurich And Louisville Is Going To Get Nasty
In a scathing letter of termination, Louisville interim president Gregory Postel wrote that since-fired athletic director Tom Jurich’s “willful misconduct” was the reason Louisville gave him the boot last week, claiming that in addition to setting up the university’s Adidas deal in the shadows, Juri...
UNC Star Joel Berry II Loses Video Game, Punches Door, Breaks Hand
Anyone with a True Gamer’s Heart knows the soul-shattering frustration of getting owned. It is only through sheer force of luck that what happened to North Carolina guard Joel Berry II hasn’t happened to us all. Berry, the Most Outstanding Player of the 2017 Final Four, was apparently playing video ...
It's Time For WWE To Save Kurt Angle From Himself. Again.
On Saturday night, I went to a show from House of Glory, one of the local independent wrestling promotions in New York City. It was a really fun show until an accident in the semifinal match, when Chris Seaton of the New York Wrecking Krew tag team broke his femur in a freak accident; he landed wron...
I Am Very Excited To Give Amazon The Power To Unlock The Door To My Home
Great news for insane people and morons: Amazon has disrupted the lock! Now, you can choose to pay money to grant this giant faceless hell-corporation the ability to send strangers inside your locked home when you’re not there. Just like you always wanted....
Some Indonesian Guy Named Terens Puhiri Is Apparently The Fastest Man In The World
I don’t know much about Indonesian soccer, not even enough to be properly impressed when Wikipedia describes 21-year-old Borneo FC forward Terens Puhiri as “The Next Boaz Solossa,” but what I do know is what fast looks like. And this guy sure is fast:...
Kevin Bieksa Lands Leaping One-Punch Knockdown
I’m generally over hockey fights, both for their silliness and their safety concerns. So here’s a good reminder that for as right-thinking as I’d like to imagine myself, I’m entirely willing to drop all principles the second something cool happens....
Poor Rudy Gobert
In the first quarter of tonight’s game against the Jazz, Blake Griffin offered up a dunk over Rudy Gobert that cannot really be fairly described as posterizing, simply because it was intense enough that it would really be kind of cruel to capture and preserve—you’d hang the poster up and everyone wo...
