Justin Meram Scores 10 Seconds Into MLS Playoff Game
Columbus got the scoring started rather early in today’s Eastern Conference final against the New York Red Bulls with this goal from Iraq national teamer Justin Meram a mere 10 seconds into the game. Kei Kamara and Ethan Finlay played it onto Meram, and he finished calmly....
Justin Forsett Leaves Game With Broken Arm
The Ravens’ terrible season got worse today. Justin Forsett left today’s game in Baltimore against the Rams with a broken right arm that he suffered on this play when Aaron Donald got into the backfield and tossed him down.

Adele Seems Chill
Apparently, while working with Bruno Mars on “All I Ask,” a ballad from her highly anticipated new album, 25, Adele got into a disagreement with her coauthor over a single line of the lyrics. She wanted to keep it; he wanted to cut it. It stayed in, and eventually became Mars’s favorite moment on th...
Doug "Muscle Hamster" Martin Wants To Switch Nicknames
Buccaneers running back Doug Martin is commonly known as “Muscle Hamster,” but he really hates that nickname. We’ve covered this before. This week, Martin revived his plea to give him any other nickname. That’s not how it works....
The 49ers' Crappy Turf Helped Shank A Ravens Field Goal
Justin Tucker is one of the best kickers in the NFL. Even he’s no match for the grass at Levi’s Stadium, which in just its second year has emerged among the league’s worst. ...
Ronaldinho Can't Play Soccer Anymore, But He Can't Stop
Watching Ronaldinho in his prime—nipping the ball around defenders with moves you’d either never seen someone pull off in real life or at least never, say, against some of the world’s best defenders, in the middle of the sport’s fiercest rivalry, in front of 80,000 opposing fans, with supporters so ...
This Is A Really Good Baseball Photo
I love this photo, taken by the AP’s Danny Moloshok during the fifth inning of last night’s game between the Rockies and Dodgers. That’s Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner taking a very hard slide into second while trying to break up a double play, sending Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado high i...

Only An Idiot Would Buy A $600 Sweatshirt
Who was it that first said, “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap?” Well, according to Bieber Clothing Tumblr, a site for teens dedicated to fashion worn by this particular emotional teen, Justin Bieber spent $600 on the following sweatshirt; one that looks like something he picked up at Goodw...
Holy Shit, Usain Bolt
Over the last couple of years, there’s been no reason to think Usain Bolt could be as dominant in Rio as he was in Beijing or London. He’ll turn 30 during those games, for one. For another, he sat out many of the big races since 2013, and lost a lot of time to nagging hamstring troubles last year. T...
Doug Martin Is Still Not Really Down With That Whole "Muscle Hamster" Thing
Poor Doug Martin finds himself in the unenviable position of owning a very unique nickname that everyone else seems to enjoy, but that he himself despises. Martin started his Stop Calling Me “Muscle Hamster” campaign years ago, and God bless him, he’s still going strong....
The Riff In "Where Are Ü Now" Is Actually Justin Bieber's Voice
The New York Times has a neat feature on the making of the song “Where Are Ü Now,” a single, or really the single off Diplo and Skrillex’s collaboration Jack Ü. It’s a catchy song, and the melodic flute-like riff that the song hinges on has been pretty much everywhere this summer. The compelling par...
Goodbye To Most Of The Football-Playing Sons Of Rappers
You know what would be cool? Seeing the sons of some of the best rappers from the 1990s playing college football against each other. Unfortunately, it’s not really going to happen anymore....
Padres Manager Pulled His Players To Screw With Everyone
With the MLB trade deadline tomorrow, fans are now on Early Exit Watch. Any player who leaves a game early will be considered to be involved in a trade, until proven otherwise.

Justin Houston Is Finally Getting <i>Paid</i>
Chiefs’ pass-rushing linebacker Justin Houston has signed a massive extension to stay in Kansas City. It’s six years, $101 million, which are both big and somewhat imaginary numbers, but this one isn’t: $52.5 million in guaranteed money....
Justin Upton Gets Up To Rob A Dinger
Damn, Justin Upton, what did Andrew McCutchen ever do to you? McCutchen had to think this go-ahead homer was long gone but Upton, recently named the Padres’ lone representative to the All-Star game, got way up above the wall to take it away. McCutchen got the last laugh, however, as his Pirates scor...
LeBron, Wade, And CP3 Are Riding Around The Bahamas On A Banana Boat
Here is a photo, taken from Dwyane Wade’s Instagram, of Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and LeBron James drinking some fine wine together in the Bahamas. My two questions: would you wear a t-shirt with your own nickname on it, and is Carmelo a bit faded?...
