A Mascot Showed Up At Adrian Peterson's Court Hearing Today
Adrian Peterson made his first appearance in a Montgomery County (Texas) court today on the charge of reckless or negligent injury to one of his sons. Not much happened.

Flying Dog Raging Bitch: An Offensive Beer In Three Different Ways
The inaugural Drunkspin Daily, a review of Stone Arrogant Bastard, addressed the problem of bad beer names. Too many of them rely on awful puns, weed references, or inside jokes that make it difficult for the consumer to remember which beer's which. Is the unfiltered wheat ale the one named after th...
Good Horse Dead
Cigar, who won Horse of the Year in 1995 and 1996, and at one point won 16 consecutive races, died last night due to complications from neck surgery. He was 24. Here he is setting a then-record at the '95 Breeders' Cup Classic. ...
Young Thug Enters The Void: The Confusing Joys Of Rich Gang's <em>Tha Tour</em>
Young Thug is a rapper from Atlanta who has never released an official full-length album and, at this rate, may not for a long time. His mixtapes—both alone and with collaborators—have been daring and unusual, bundles of promises that haven't quite come to bear. Until about two weeks ago, he had p...
The Nats Are Gone, But Bryce Harper's Taters Are A Joy Forever
The Washington Nationals were bounced from the postseason last night, but not before Bryce Harper did the thing he's been doing all series and murdered one last baseball into the sky....
Giants Outlast Nationals To Advance to NLCS
There was a moonshot of a home run, a phenomenal defensive gem, a solid pitching performance, and questionable managerial decisions. But when a fluky series came down to a fluky play, the Giants won 3–2 against the Nationals because they always seem to get a fluky play or two in the postseason....
Adrian Peterson Shows His Dumb Talking Points To The World
Adrian Peterson took to his Twitter account Tuesday night. This was a really bad idea. ...
Cardinals Beat Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw On Three-Run Homer
The crucial talking point preceding Game 4 between the Dodgers and Cardinals was "sample size." That mainly had to do with Dodgers manager Don Mattingly's decision to bench Yasiel Puig and start Andre Ethier in the outfield instead because of Puig's struggles in the first three games of the series. ...
Is The Redskins' "VIP" Indian Defender A Fake Indian?
Mark One Wolf was, for a time, a favored native in Dan Snyder's fight to save the "Redskins" nickname. "Native American backing team name is VIP at practice," read a Richmond Times-Dispatch headline. It was accompanied by an Associated Press photo of One Wolf in profile, as if to echo the team's l...
MLB Managers Are Playing Less Small Ball Than Ever
It's well documented we're in an era of dominant pitching, with declines in home runs and batting averages coinciding with the highest strikeout rates in MLB history. But there are also other, less prominent stats gravitating toward record rates that have slipped by most fans. ...
Green Flash's Fall Seasonal Beer Is Absurd, Pointless, And Delicious
San Diego's Green Flash Brewing Company kinda goes their own way, which is a funny thing to say about a Southern California brewery built around stuffing hops into every crevice of every beer they produce—the most radical thing a West Coast beer company could do in 2014 is just settle down and mak...
Adrian Peterson Blames Media For Reporting On Charity-Funded Orgy
Yesterday, the Star Tribune dropped a comprehensively reported bombshell, accusing Adrian Peterson's All Day Foundation of misusing funds intended for charity, and failing to keep proper books or account for much of the money it took in. Last night, Peterson offered a rebuttal:...
Richard Sherman Had His Hair Pulled, Responded With Vicious Shit-Talk
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has always walked a fine line between showman and dickbag. After infuriating Pierre Garçon to the point of hair-pulling, and dismissing his football worth entirely, I bet I could guess which side Garçon would come down on....

Madison Bumgarner's Pivotal Error Gives Nationals Game 3 Over Giants
Befitting two teams that took 18 innings to score three stinkin' runs on Saturday night, Game 3 between the Giants and Nationals was a pitcher's duel, for six innings at least. And when the game broke wide open it was mostly due to error, not solid hitting....
Steven Stamkos Has Total Goal Recall
TSN host James Duthie gave Lightning scoring machine Steven Stamkos a test. A random date, an opponent, and a score, and Stamkos was asked to recall his goal. Goals, plural, it turns out—and Stamkos nailed them both....
USA Swimming Suspends Michael Phelps For Six Months After DUI Arrest
Michael Phelps's comeback, with an eye on the 2016 Olympics, will be a little more difficult. After his DUI arrest last week, Phelps is now suspended from competition for six months....
ESPN And TNT Think NBA Broadcasts Are Worth A Lot More Than The NFL's
Adam Silver proudly announced the NBA's new TV deal with ESPN and TNT this morning, one that nearly triples how much its cable partners will pay the league to broadcast its regular season and playoff games. That amount—$2.7 billion a year—is especially insane when compared to what NBC, Fox, and CBS ...
