Enough With The Mystical Cubs Bullshit, Please
Can we talk about this? Can we talk about everything wrong with the notion that if the Cubs are to succeed—if they are to finally, evitably win a championship—they have to first tear down Wrigley Field? That there is bad juju on Waveland and hoodoo on Sheffield and black alchemy on Addison and maybe...

Bianca Caampued, Brooklyn businesswoman, professional party crasher, routine stunt-puller, and sometimes wearer of non-prescription eyeglasses (because why not?), co-founded Small Girls PR back in 2011.

Jason Peters Tore His Achilles In The Saddest Way Possible

Manny Pacquiao Says Gay Marriage Would Be Like "The Days Of Sodom and Gomorrah"
Manny Pacquiao fights Timothy Bradley, Jr. next month, and because it's not Mayweather, no one really cares.

In the eighth inning last night, Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was standing on the top step of the dugout when he took a foul ball from Dexter Fowler off his left leg.

NHL Network Credits Brad Richards With Giving "2 Shits" In Rangers' Win Over Devils
Never mind what John Tortorella did or didn't say during his postgame presser. It's impossible to win in the Stanley Cup playoffs without all the little things Brad Richards provided in tonight's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Bernie Fine's Wife Is Making A "Major Announcement" On Wednesday In A Castle Outside Syracuse
Pictured is Belhurst Castle in Geneva, N.Y. Not a terribly inviting place.

Nightclub Bouncer Says University of Cincinnati Basketball Players Kicked The Shit Out Of Him
This much is certain, based on the Fox 19 report you can see for yourself here: Somebody gave Brian McLucas a giant shiner and bruised his left ear. But who?

Jered Weaver Sings Along To "Hit The Road Jack" After Being Pulled From Game
Jered Weaver is having an excellent season. Only two starts removed from his no-hitter, he had allowed no earned runs in four of his first seven starts this spring.

David Stern Doesn't Really Give A Shit About Flopping
The short answer is, there's no short answer to flopping. It's nearly impossible to legislate intent, except in the most egregious of cases. Soccer has long failed to address even the glaring dives, and the NHL's embellishment penalties are often more controversial than the plays that don't get whis...
