This Hilarious, Imaginative Icelandic Twitter Account Is The One To Follow For The Euros
“And now the unfortunate Portuguese will feel the mighty thunder of Þór’s Icelandic warriors” read the first tweet from Iceland’s English-language magazine, the Reykjavík Grapevine, during their coverage of their teeny tiny nation’s Euro 2016 match against Portugal.

Let Us Introduce You To The Dankest Of All <i>Game Of Thrones</i> Theories

By now we all know the story of Nick U’Ren, the Warriors lackey who, during last year’s Finals, famously suggested to the team’s coaching staff that they start Andre Iguodala for the first time all season.

Whatever happens in Game 6 of the NBA Finals—be it Draymond Green returning to the court to punch everyone’s dicks off, the Cavs getting blown out while Kevin Love flees the arena like Jerry Lundegaard, or Steph Curry turning in another relative clunker—at least we got an iconic LeBron James perform...

Draymond Green Is An Asshole
“Golden State’s reliance on an unstable isotope is a high-stakes gamble that has finally blown up in their face,” FreeDarko founder Bethlehem Shoals writes for GQ re: Draymond Green’s Game 5 suspension for whacking LeBron James in the dick and balls. “The degree to which Golden State depends on Gree...

A Brief History Of LeBron James Being Called A "Bitch"
It was interesting to learn that what set LeBron James off during Game 4 of the NBA Finals was Draymond Green calling him a “bitch.” After all, the NBA has a rich history of insane trash-talking, and I generally just assume that Kevin Garnett spends each game threatening to skullfuck his opponents. ...

LeBron Did Not Appreciate Draymond Green Calling Him A "Bitch," And The Warriors Don't Care

Peja Stojakovic Was The Man
Peja Stojakovic’s 39th birthday is today. That’s a fairly arbitrary news peg, especially for a player who only made three All-Star teams and one All-NBA team, but Stojakovic is not just some Guy To Remember, a half-forgotten name to recall and then move on from....
