Here's Some Extremely White Shit
If you can think of something whiter than a college lacrosse team entering the field to an EDM track remixed with a Donald Trump speech in which the soundbite poorly aligns with the beat, spill it. Until then, this is the reigning champion....
The Sabres Will "Host" The Rangers In The NYC Winter Classic For A Specific Tax Purpose
The NHL announced Tuesday that the Sabres and Rangers will play the 2018 NHL Winter Classic at the Mets’ stadium in Queens. Despite the fact that the Sabres reside hundreds of miles away in Buffalo while the Rangers are only a borough away, the Sabres will be the “home team.” The NHL said that the d...
Report: Houston Dismissed MLB Prospect After He Posed With Bong, Fought Teammate
The Houston Chronicle reported on Wednesday that Houston pitcher Seth Romero has been dismissed from the Cougars’ program. The dismissal was triggered by a fight between Romero and a teammate, and seems to have been the final straw for Houston coach Todd Whitting. The dismissal marked the third time...
Alex Ovechkin Was Playing Hurt
This should not come as a total surprise to anyone who watched Alexander Ovechkin disappear for stretches in the Capitals’ seven-game series loss to Pittsburgh: Dude was ailing....
Oh Right, They're The Wizards
What’s that, you say? After two consecutive dominant performances at home, the Wizards showed up flat and dazed-looking for a hugely important road game and got their asses kicked through the roofs of their mouths? Why in that case, it must have been literally any time the Wizards have played an imp...
Julio César Chávez Jr. Lost So Much More Than A Fight<em></em>
Before this past Saturday’s fight, in which his son was thoroughly dominated by Saúl “Canelo” Alvarez, Julio Chávez Sr. assured anyone who would listen that his son had changed. Chávez Jr., he insisted, no longer was the apathetic boxer who woke up for an early evening bowl of cereal while wearing p...
Dumb Superfight Between Michael Bisping And Georges St-Pierre Called Off
Earlier this year, Dana White announced the nonsensical decision to pit UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping against retired all-timer Georges St-Pierre in a middleweight fight, a weight at which GSP has never fought. That misguided dream is, mercifully, dead....
This Is What It Sounds Like When An Entire Arena Hates You
Wizards youngster Kelly Oubre probably didn’t go into the playoffs expecting to be at the center of a big postseason storyline, but then he went and body-checked Kelly Olynyk in Game 3. After serving a one-game suspension while the Wizards played at home in Game 4, Oubre got back on the court in Bos...

We're About To Find Out If The Dodgers Have Another Young Stud On Their Hands
On Tuesday night, Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles tore his ACL while chasing down a fly ball in left field. It was more of the same for the Dodgers, who have been one of the most injury-plagued teams in recent memory. Also more of the same: They just keep finding good young players to plug the holes...

If the fifth game of a seven-game series is for making statements, then the Celtics wrote theirs in ten-foot tall letters using the Wizards’ blood....
Capitals Choke Yet Again

Scott Wilson And Brooks Orpik Throw Hands In First Game 7 Fight In 24 Years
The Penguins kept a lid on the Capitals tonight, scoring two goals on Caps mistakes to win. Brooks Orpik tried to light a fire under his soggy team by tossing mitts with Scott Wilson late in the third period. As hockey fights go it was fine, but as the NBC broadcast noted, it was the first fight tha...
Let The Braves Show You How Not To Execute A Rundown
The Astros put the finishing touches on a two-game series sweep of the Atlanta Braves this afternoon, coming back and winning 4-2. The Braves have not been good this year, but they are very consciously rebuilding, and a team full of younger guys will make some mistakes. Like this one, where Marwin G...

Max Scherzer Kicked Ass And Was Not Open To Suggestions
Max Scherzer was dominant last night, holding the Baltimore Orioles to just two runs in eight innings while striking out 11. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and he also made it clear that he didn’t want to put up with any bullshit from his coaches....
