Brett Phillips's Laugh Remains The Best Thing In Baseball
Brett Phillips, the Brewers’ 21-year-old outfielder, won’t make the big club out of camp, though as one of the franchise’s better prospects, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him come up later this year. In the meantime he’s here to get better, and to show coaches what he can do, and maybe some other base...
Kevin Garnett Tells Eric Gordon Exactly What He Thinks Of Him
Kevin Garnett may not have been fit enough to play in Saturday’s game against the Pelicans, but he still came to arena ready to talk some shit. That’s because KG is always ready to talk some shit....
D'Angelo Russell Caps Career Night By Pointing Out The Ice In His Veins
There’s still a decent chunk of games left in the NBA season, but I feel pretty comfortable naming Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell’s swaggering reaction to his clutch three the winner of the 2015-16 Feeling Yourself Award. (Sorry, Evan Turner. Better luck next year.)...
Curt Schilling Is Back With Some Takes On Hillary Clinton And Donald Trump
With the interminably long primary season crawling towards the election, you should probably expect to hear a lot from ESPN baseball analyst Curt Schilling.

Burger King's Hot Dogs Are A Tasteful Middle Finger To Uppity Fast Food
Hey, bud, want a burrito? For real. I appreciate you: For the way you talk, the way you walk, the way you’re statistically unlikely to be the shrieky dude who lives upstairs. But mostly for the way you click. Damn, you click so good. So I would like to give you a burrito. Or more specifically, I wou...

Troy Tulowitzki Is Over It, But Also Still Kind Of Mad
Troy Tulowitzki has never made a secret of the fact that he was blindsided by and a little bitter about the Colorado Rockies’ decision to trade him to the Blue Jays last summer. Many months have passed, though, and so now it’s time to check in on Tulo and see how much those wounds have healed. Accor...
It's Okay To Have A Crush When You're In A Relationship
Crushes are something of a chronic condition. You’ve had them since you were young enough to pull pigtails over them, and you’re not going to stop having them anytime soon. Not a lot of things get easier with age, and crushes are no exception. Even with a long term, live-in significant other, I crus...
Kicker Fast
The biggest news from this year’s NFL scouting combine is obviously Iowa kicker Marshall Koehn’s record-setting 40-yard dash time. ...
DeAngelo Williams Heckles Jordan Cameron While He Pees
So that’s a weird headline. It only exists because DeAngelo Williams and Jordan Cameron are part of this year’s American Football Without Barriers camp in Egypt, and also because it’s hard to hold a pee on a long bus trip....
How To Pack For A Very Long Trip
I knew I had to go on a Very Long Trip the day the internet erupted in outrage over Twitter’s decision to shift the shape of its “fav” button from a star to a heart. What started as a fanciful daydream cemented further when I found myself dreading the darkness of winter ... in June. It hardened into...

Today’s PGA event from Palm Beach Gardens features some of the best professional golfers in the world, and that includes a personal favorte: Shane Lowry. The Irishman’s never at a loss for words, as evidenced by his brief and profane response to finding the water on the 15th....

Sunday Afternoon ESPN Programming Is Grim
There’s really something to be said for ESPN’s Sunday afternoon programming, when the Worldwide Leader cedes all sports coverage to the broadcast networks and airs bowling or weightlifting competitions. Here’s a clip from today’s PBA event, in which we see Shawn Stockman—you remember him as Boyz II ...
Medical Motorcycle Takes Out Professional Cyclist During Race
During today’s Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, Lotto-Soudal’s Stig Broeckx was drifting off to the right of the peloton, presumably to go back to his team car, when a medical motorbike tried to shoot the gap, but only ended up skidding Broeckx to the deck....
Raccoon Cheats Death At Yankees Spring Training
Raccoons are attracted to shiny objects, so it makes sense that this Tampa-area raccoon would choose to attend Yankees spring training. Maybe this is the same raccoon as the one who snuck in two years ago to watch the same team practice at the same field? Perhaps. I think, at this point, the evidenc...
