Something Like 20 Dudes Try To Stop Ramires From Murdering A Referee
Remember Ramires, that quiet, unassuming, indefatigable midfielder you used to see running around in Chelsea’s blue or Brazil’s yellow? Well, he’s in China now, and apparently something—the air, the food, the refereeing—has eroded his sanguine demeanor in just a few short months....
Giancarlo Stanton Stroked Some Mighty Dongs
Giancarlo Stanton, the finest masher of taters in baseball, won the home run derby last night with a record 61 total home runs. He hit 18 of the 19 longest homers of the evening, and his 61 dingers traveled a total of 5.1 miles....
Minneapolis Cops Walk Off Job At WNBA Game After Lynx Players Speak Out Against Violence
Four off-duty Minneapolis police officers working security at Saturday’s WNBA game at the Target Center quit their (freelance) jobs and walked out, after four Lynx players held a press conferencing denouncing violence committed by and against police, and the entire team wore warmup shirts mentioning...
Stay Out Of Chris Froome's Way If You Don't Want To Get Punched
Heading into the first rest day of the Tour de France, Chris Froome holds the yellow jersey by a slim margin. Nairo Quintana, Adam Yates, and a few other plucky challengers are right there with him, but Froome and Team Sky have done what they do every year: wring the life out of every vaguely hilly ...
Did Brock Lesnar Really Suplex An NFL Player To Avenge Daunte Culpepper?
Brock Lesnar returned to the UFC to fight Mark Hunt this weekend, which was as good of a reason as any to dredge up an old, apparently apocryphal story from Lesnar’s brief NFL days. Vikings.com used the fight as a peg to recall a Nate Burleson story about how, when Lesnar was trying out for the Viki...
How To Get A Piano (Like For Your Spouse, Say)
So you’ve decided to get a piano! For yourself, or for, say, the piano-loving Target worker who gave up her lifelong piano access when she moved to Mississippi to live with you as your wife. I think this is a fine choice! Pianos are lovely. Let’s talk about some good and bad practices for acquiring ...
Watch U.S. Olympians Teach Us Mortals How To Row
At first glance, rowing seems to belong to the well-heeled and faintly evil. In House of Cards the Underwoods stoically row their way into the right fitness level for world domination. The Winklevosses, those large adult twins, rowed big boats at the real Harvard and at the thinly fictionalized Harv...

Let's Pick And Grill A Delicious Pork Chop
I’m sure we can all agree that summer is for grilling. Burgers are good for grilling, as are your various tube-meats. A good steak is delightful. I happen to think, though, that a good pork chop is the happiest, summeriest of the grilled proteins....
Sprinter's Reaction To Learning He Won Euro Championship Gold Is Priceless
Spanish sprinter Bruno Hortelano placed second in the 200m at this week’s European Championships in Amsterdam, setting a new national record for Spain in the process—but a post-race inquiry revealed the runner who placed first in the final, Dutchman Churandy Martina, would be disqualified for leavin...
Gilbert Arenas Goes To Nick Young's House And Acts Like An Asshole

Mark Cavendish Is Back To Kicking Everyone's Ass At The Tour De France
Sprinters don’t tend to have long peaks in cycling. For every Erik Zabel or Robbie McEwen who dominates the Tour de France for half a decade, you have bushels of Thor Hushovds and Alessandro Petacchis—who win one points competition and a decent amount of stages, but never hold onto the crown of “Wor...
Selfie-Taking, Photo-Bombing Ball Boy Had Best Performance Of Portugal-Wales Game
Where Portugal and Wales failed to actualize their best selves during yesterday’s bland Euro semifinal, this enterprising teen ball boy put together a performance for the ages, one every subsequent ball boy will aspire to replicate....
In TrackTown, USA For The Olympic Trials, The Drama Of The Human Spirit, And Other Stuff
Eugene, Oregon is a picturesque college town, sparkly with streams and framed by dark pine-forested hills, with a population equal parts public radio, Dick-and-Perry-with-a-snort-of-Eminem, and hippie. The U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials are happening there right now—bands of backward cap-wearin...
Check Out This Insane Bike Trick
It’s Tour de France time, and bike trick guy supreme Peter Sagan just ended his first career spell in the yellow jersey. I didn’t see him do any wheelies in it, but he’s guaranteed to try some shit eventually. Check out this wheelie he did on Alp d’Huez (the most famous climb in the Tour de France) ...
Giancarlo Stanton Is Out To Destroy Every Baseball In New York
Last night against the Mets, Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton used his last two at-bats of the game to deliver us the gift of two perfectly mashed, picturesque taters. The Marlins played the Mets again this afternoon, and Stanton slapped two more gasp-inducing dingers in his first two at-bats of th...
The Imaginary Murderer Who Helps Me Fall Asleep
What do you do when you can’t sleep? Some people count sheep, but that sounds boring. One coworker, whom I now hate more than ever, revealed that he just lies there and thinks “about how chill and generally good [his] life is.” This does not apply to most of us. Another coworker says she thinks “abo...
