The Skins Really Couldn't Have Played This Kirk Cousins Situation Any Worse
The first thing you notice, once you look a little more closely into the Skins’ attempt to gain the high ground on Kirk Cousins, is that in the video meant to smear the quarterback as unreasonable, team president Bruce Allen repeatedly calls him “Kurt.”...
Report: MLB Considers Trademark Dispute With <i>Overwatch</i> League Over Logo Similarities
The new Overwatch League went with a pretty tried-and-true blueprint for its logo design: the white outline of a player against a colorful, two-tone background. Just like the NBA or MLB, pretty much, except with orange and black instead of red and blue. (Trailblazers!) But the fledgling league could...
Bruce Allen Explains Why He Didn't Sign "Kurt" Cousins
Kirk Cousins did not get a new contract before the NFL’s franchise tag deadline passed this afternoon, which means he’ll play the 2017-18 season on a one-year deal before becoming a free agent next summer.

Hell Is Winning Free Tickets And Not Realizing It
Predators fan Andrew Fudge wanted some free tickets to see his team play the Penguins in the Stanley Cup, so he entered a promo that the team was running, once before Game 3 and once before Game 4. He’s not much of a Twitter user, and it seems that he forgot about the promo shortly after entering it...
Spurs Sell Kyle Walker To Man City, Will Probably Be Fine
The last time there was this much anxiety about Tottenham being a “selling club” was way back in 2013. In back-to-back offseasons, Real Madrid snatched away Spurs superstars Gareth Bale and Luka Modrić, both of whom had worked together to take Tottenham to previously unseen heights—most notably the ...

Billy Beane Admits That Being An A's Fan Is Hell
Yesterday, the Oakland A’s traded relievers Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson to the Washington Nationals in exchange for reliever Blake Treinen and two minor leaguers.

The Rangers Lost A Game Because Of The Punk-Ass Sun
With the scored tied at three in the bottom of the ninth, Rangers reliever Jason Grilli was in a bases-loaded, two-out jam. If he could get Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain out, the Rangers would escape to extra innings and keep their hopes at winning the game alive. Grilli got Cain to hit a catchable...

Fenway Gives And Fenway Takes
The Yankees and Red Sox split a day-night doubleheader on Sunday, trading shutouts for just the third time in the history of the clubs. They also taught us a valuable lesson about home runs: Sometimes it’s not how hard you hit them, but where. Especially in a weirdo ballpark like Fenway....
