So How Did Zack Greinke End Up On The Diamondbacks?
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a remarkable experiment in what happens when you take the financial brakes off a team and see how far you can fly with pure spending. On the field, their ethos is pretty simple: get men on base and hit homers on offense, then strike people out when they have the ball. Las...
The Perfect Beer For All Your Thanksgiving Needs
All holidays are the best, but Thanksgiving is the extra-best, because it doesn’t offend anyone other than the killjoys who are put off by naked gluttony. There’s no religious component to fake, work around, or disagree with; the weather isn’t quite horrific yet in most parts of the country; and if ...
Colin Kaepernick Might Be Done As A 49er
Even before the 49ers put Colin Kaepernick on the IR this morning, it was clear that he was ancillary to the team’s plans going forward. Coach Jim Tomsula benched him in favor of Blaine Gabbert (Blaine Gabbert!) for their Week 9 win over the Falcons before the extent of his shoulder injury was revea...
The Sixers' Latest Master Plan: Playing With Six Men
The winless Philadelphia 76ers were down by nine to the Pacers Wednesday night. Intentionally or not, six Sixers walked onto the court. That’s not allowed....

Guinness Is Struggling, And This Gimmicky New IPA Won't Save It
If you came of drinking age in a certain era, Guinness Draught was quite likely the first good beer you ever had. As recently as a decade ago, it was common to walk into a middle-of-the-road American bar and be confronted with a tap list featuring Shit, Shit Light, Shit Ice, Lemon-Lime Shit, Cider S...

Even The Rubin Kazan Manager Is Burning Chelsea
Chelsea are struggling mightily, in 15th place in the Premier League and beset by infighting and reports that coach José Mourinho is about to be fired. But today they sunk to a new low, seen as such a laughingstock across Europe that even the manager of a mediocre Russian club is ripping on them. ...
Reports: Colin Kaepernick Benched For Blaine Gabbert
Blaine Gabbert will start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers against the Atlanta Falcons this weekend, reports Kyle McLorg (and confirmed every other NFL reporter).

The 49ers Really Don't Trust Colin Kaepernick
What’s wrong with the San Francisco 49ers’ offense (besides everything)? It is, as we are learning, incredibly predictable. And that is apparently by design....
Colin Kaepernick Donked A Guy Right In The Face
Somehow, this was a matchup of teams with identical records. But the Seahawks’ 20-3 win over the 49ers felt like so many of the blowouts in the recent one-sided stretch of the Seattle-San Francisco rivalry. The only things that set this one apart were the Niners’ especially unproductive offense, the...
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...

The NFL Will Exploit Your Dead Mom But Not Let You Celebrate Her

Clay Matthews Kept Picking On Colin Kaepernick
The photo above was taken during yesterday’s Packers-49ers game, right after Packers linebacker Clay Matthews sacked 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the third quarter. That’s Matthews stealing Kaepernick’s signature bicep-kiss celebration, which is a pretty good way to troll a quarterback afte...
Kevin Kiermaier Delivers 100 MPH Fastball From Center Field To Nail Runner
You don’t need MLB’s Statcast to understand that this is a great throw from Rays’ center fielder Kevin Kiermaier; that much is apparent by the ease with which he throws out the foolish runner. But it is pretty cool to see that his throw clocked in at 100.4 MPH—a speed that only a dozen or so pitcher...
I Peed My Pants At A Little League Game, And Other Tales Of Urine-Based Humiliation
A moment of silence for the dignity of everyone who responded when we asked you to tell us about a time you peed your pants. You have no shame, and you should be proud of that. But my God! A lot of you have pissed yourselves at inopportune times! Here are the best of those stories....
