Tennis Drake Is The Best Drake Meme
If you’ve been on the internet at all this week, you’ve been made aware of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” video, as well as the plethora of memes spawned by Drake’s dopey dancing. Some of these memes are funny, but none of them are as good as this one:...
José Mourinho Caught Apparently Shoving A Kid Trying To Sneak A Selfie
It’s not been the best couple months for Chelsea boss José Mourinho. We already knew that his shockingly poor start to the season and the pressure that has come with it was beginning to fracture the man’s sanity. Now he’s out here in the streets of London, pushing teens who just want a picture....
The Blue Jays' Pitching Was So Bad They Had A Position Player Take The Mound
Here is how ugly things were for the Blue Jays tonight: Cliff Pennington, the Jays’ utility infielder, came in to pitch in the ninth. According to Elias he became the first exclusive position player to pitch in the postseason, and it went about as well as expected. In one-third of an inning Penningt...
Alex Killorn Does Not Do Well In Haunted Houses
Lightning players Alex Killorn and Jason Garrison checked out a haunted house yesterday, and the best way to watch this video is to ignore Garrison. He goes first—because Killorn can’t handle it—but keep your eyes on Killorn in the back. He’s scared by everything....
What If The New <i>Star Wars </i>Sucks, Too?
Last night, the third trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiered on YouTube and ESPN. Did you shit your dick? I definitely shat my dick. I think the dick-shittingest moment, for me, was when the new Darth Vader guy was doing the Force to the other guy’s brain, but the low-altitu...
Manchester United Are (Sort Of) For Real, Apparently
By losing to a surprisingly rampant Arsenal in their previous league game before the international break, Manchester United more or less confirmed our sneaking suspicions about this team’s place in the EPL hierarchy. Their spot in the table may make them technically contenders but there still remain...

How To Climb A Goddamn Mountain
In 1924, when the New York Times asked George Mallory why he was going to make his third attempt to scale Everest, he infamously, if apocryphally, answered, “Because it’s there.” It’s a fantastic reason to climb a mountain, pithy and cavalier, the kind of thing every man wishes would be inscribed on...
Yaya Touré Confirms That Lionel Messi Is A Marvelous Shit-Talker
In the neat and tidy world of the public imagination, Lionel Messi is the angelic naif foil to Cristiano Ronaldo, the mercurial egotist. Thankfully, reality is more complicated than that, as former Messi teammate and opponent Yaya Touré points out in this interview clip....
Michigan Fan Can't Stop Bawling
Yes, if you’re a Michigan fan, that was one of the most shocking, most crushing losses you’ll ever experience. It’s OK to still be shaken up today. But as bad as you feel, find some solace in the fact that you’re not taking it as hard as this guy did....

The Broncos Defense Is So Good, Even Zombie Peyton Manning Can Win With It
It took the Denver Broncos offense 27 consecutive drives to score a touchdown. That’s the longest streak in the NFL this season, a record far more suited to the diarrheal Detroit Lions or an offensively inept team like the Texans. Certainly not a 6-0 team with the NFL’s all-time leading touchdown pa...
DraftKings CEO Described Site As A Casino, Called It Betting
Last week, Nevada banned DraftKings and FanDuel in the state, on the grounds that they were gambling.

Ah, Uniform Violations: Your Guide To Ignoring The NFL Today
This was a lousy news week for the NFL on multiple fronts: a pending CTE investigation on a former player who died young from a painkiller overdose; a ref suspended for a clock screw-up that, but for a ballsy call and some very good luck, could have cost a team a game; Johnny Manziel finding his way...
