This Is The Worst Of The Bad Opinions On Bryce Harper, But Only So Far
This teaser tweet is insane enough:...
Nationals Suspend Jonathan Papelbon For Choking Out Their Best Player
Since MLB isn’t equipped to punish a player choking out his own teammate in the dugout, the Nationals gave a four-game suspension to fuming goblin Jonathan Papelbon for attacking Bryce Harper during Sunday’s game....
Nation Demands Pro-Jonathan Papelbon Takes; Fox Sports Provides Them
The trouble with a story like yesterday’s Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon fight in the Nationals dugout is that it does not contain much—any—ambiguity. It is unambiguously wonderful, that oh-God-this-is-so-fucking-stupid kind of wonderful, and also Jonathan Papelbon unambiguously is a belligerent too...
Enjoy The Matt Williams Farce While You Still Can
It is a testament to the Washington Nationals’ dysfunction that the dugout fight between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper almost made sense compared to everything that came after. A team’s for-hire closer trying to choke the league MVP is one thing, but it’s absolutely inexplicable that manager Ma...
Jonathan Papelbon And Bryce Harper Brawl In Nationals Dugout
The Nationals are really deteriorating as their season comes to an end. They somehow have a winning record, but the dugout has gotten downright toxic. Just this week, Papelbon plunked Manny Machado then Bryce Harper called him out for it. Today, tensions boiled over and the two got into a fight in t...
Oh, Hey, Jonathan Papelbon's Still A Dick
The Nationals got exactly what they expected out of Jonathan Papelbon: a very good closer and an unrepentant asshole with a knack for pissing off his own teammates as much as his opponents. After Papelbon plunked Manny Machado in last night’s 4-3 Baltimore win, it was Bryce Harper, of all people, wh...
I Found <i>Purity</i>'s First Honest Paragraph, On Page 66
When last we met, Jonathan Franzen had mucked up the early pages of his novel Purity with repeated appraisals of the sex appeal of his main character, Pip. I was creeped out, but leaving room for the possibility that Franzen might be up to something that would redeem—or at least make some sense of—a...
Jonathan Franzen Wants To Bone Pip, I Think?
So Jonathan Franzen is doing kind of a weird thing in the early going of Purity, his latest novel. He’s not the first author to do a version of this weird thing, but the particular way he’s doing it, at least so far, made me want to write about it now, before I’ve finished the entire book....
Jonathan Martin Says He Attempted Suicide During His NFL Career
Jonathan Martin, the former Dolphins and 49ers tackle best known for his role in the Richie Incognito scandal, wrote a Facebook post today detailing a life spent struggling with bullying and depression and his decision to walk away from football. In it, Martin—writing in the second person—says “your...
The Nationals Are Kind Of Boning Drew Storen
The Washington Nationals just made a trade that should help fix their biggest weakness—the back end of the bullpen—by bringing in Jonathan Papelbon to be the new closer. Papelbon will take the job from current closer Drew Storen, who will slide into a set-up role and give the Nats a great 1-2 punch ...
Christy Mack Says War Machine Used "Arsenal" Of MMA Skills To Hurt Her
Christy Mack spoke out against her ex, former UFC star War Machine, on tonight’s Real Sports on HBO—alleging the MMA fighter attempted multiple rapes and repeated other sadistic forms of violence against her. War Machine remains in jail, awaiting trial on the charges that include attempted murder an...
Jonathan Bernier Might Leave Toronto, If You Believe His Baby's Onesie
The NHL offseason just started, but a dumb/fun conspiracy has already bloomed: Does Jonathan Bernier’s baby’s onesie hint at him leaving the Maple Leafs?...
The Time I Went To Havana And Hooked Up With Castro's Granddaughter
The following is excerpted from The Domino Diaries: My Decade with Olympic Champions and Chasing Hemingway’s Ghost in the Last Days of Castro’s Cuba, by Brin-Jonathan Butler....
Ducks Overcome Miracle Toews Goal To Win In OT, Take 3-2 Series Lead
The Anaheim Ducks took a 3-2 Western Conference Final lead with a Matt Beleskey goal 45 seconds into overtime that erased an outstanding performance by Jonathan Toews in the final minutes of regulation—including a miracle shot that found the net with 38 seconds remaining....
Jonathan Papelbon Talks Horses And Dick-Sucking Holes
Whenever the Red Sox and Phillies play, someone sticks a recorder in Jonathan Papelbon’s face and uses his thoughts on both teams as an angle to get through the series. (Shane Victorino just isn’t as brash.) Before Wednesday’s game, the Phillies closer was direct to the Boston Globe about his conne...
Brad Marchand Slashes Opponent In The Nads
You are allowed to do some pretty violent things to your opponent in the NHL, but one of the things you are not allowed to do is hit them in the coin purse with your stick. You have to pay close attention to the above video, but you can see Brad Marchand doing just that to Jonathan Ericsson. Marcha...
