Here Are The Most George Lucas-Ass Names In The NFL

For all the things that he has gotten wrong in his career as a mythmaker and world-builder and filmmaker and Extremely Satisfied-Seeming Beard-Haver, George Lucas has gotten the big things right. He’s seemingly constantly borne aloft on a cloud of oblivious self-regard, but also he created Star Wa...

The Steelers' Final Play Was A Real Mess

The Steelers’ final offensive play in their 27-24 loss to New England was exactly as chaotic as it looked. Normally, that’d be a good thing on a fake spike—you want to confuse the defense. But it would’ve been better for Pittsburgh if more than two Steelers knew what was going on. That’s right: The ...

I Think I Finally Understand The Catch Rule, And It Still Sucks

Here we are again, enacting one of the NFL’s more recent and stubborn traditions: Spending Monday morning yelling about a great game ruined by the terrible catch rule. This one, which decided home-field advantage in the AFC, feels a little different than some of the other catch controversies this se...

Uh Huh

NFL's Worst Rule Robs Steelers Of A Win Over Patriots

The NFL was exciting and likable for about two minutes in Pittsburgh this evening, so naturally, someone had to ruin the fun. Getting the ball down five with just over two minutes to play, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski combined for a vintage comeback drive that gave the Pats a 27-24 lead. However, a ...

Pittsburgh Steelers standout wide receiver Antonio Brown suffered a left leg injury during the first half of his team’s game against the Patriots. As Brown went to make a catch in the end zone, he got hit by two defenders and didn’t seem to land comfortably....

Michael Beasley Is Just Cruel

The Oklahoma City Thunder narrowly topped the Philadelphia 76ers in an insane triple-overtime slugfest Friday night. You can imagine, they were therefore not at their most energetic Saturday night, playing the second leg of a back-to-back, in New York. Still, the Knicks, without Kristaps Porzingis, ...

Former Yankees Prospect Dustin Fowler Suing White Sox Over Injured Knee

Dustin Fowler made his MLB debut for the Yankees on June 29 of this year, at the Chicago White Sox.

Chicharito And Pablo Zabaleta Crack Each Other Up With Jokes They Don't Understand

For evidence of the contagious nature of laughter, just watch this video of Spanish-speaking West Ham players Javier Hernández and Pablo Zabaleta telling each other pun-heavy jokes in English.

Please Do Check Out The Spicy Drama Going Down At The International Society For The History Of The Map

I’ve found, personally, an inverse correlation between how interesting an institutional power squabble is and how significant the institution in question is. A power squabble at the highest levels of a large national government, for example, is not really interesting; it will very often be terrifyin...

Ghost Of Lleyton Hewitt Will Play Australian Open

Lleyton Hewitt, two-time Grand Slam singles winner and former No. 1, “retired” from tennis after playing his 20th Australian Open back in 2016. He entered Wimbledon doubles as a wild card later that year, but since then his public appearances on a tennis court have largely been limited to captainin...

This Andy Benoit Take About Russell Wilson Is So Fucking Stupid I Want To Die

You might remember Sports Illustrated’s resident tape-eater Andy Benoit from the time he proudly listed 15 backup stiffs better than Colin Kaepernick (and unironically included the likes of Brock Osweiler), or the time he said the Browns weren’t a joke because he watched the film on them, or the tim...

White Sox Acquire Cash Considerations

The hot stove is burning to the touch, and the Chicago White Sox are, as usual, stoking the flames. In today’s Rule 5 draft, they used the fourth overall pick on Carlos Tocci, a frail-looking outfielder in the Philadelphia Phillies’ system who’s hit .266/.317/.377 in his minor-league career. Somewha...

Joe Smith, Baseball's One True Joe Smith, To Sign With Astros

Much is made of the fact that baseball’s history makes the sport so rich in numbers—a statistic to back up every story and an analysis to run for every situation, as broadcasters and newspaper columnists and front office nerds alike will all remind you—but that baseball’s history makes the sport so ...
