"Steve Bannon Looks Like" Jokes Are One Of The Few Good Things We Have
The United States of America is being run by a cabal of fat racists who sundown at all hours of the day.

Neil Gorsuch Won't Fill The Vacancy On The Supreme Court
Last night, in a livestreamed quasi-game show at 8 p.m., President Donald Trump announced that he would be nominating Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Who is Neil Gorsuch?

Transcribing Don Cherry Does Not Really Help In Understanding Him
Former NHL coach and current CBC commentator Don Cherry tends to speak quickly, and it doesn’t help that his suits talk over him, but Reddit user Doopus16 provided a service to the public by transcribing two of Cherry’s Coach’s Corner segments.

This Terrible Jack Rodwell Tackle Is Why English Soccer Is Wonderfully Stupid
Just look at this shit. A beautiful touch by Tottenham’s Mousa Dembélé to slice through Sunderland’s midfield. A completely hopeless and reckless leg-smasher of a tackle by Jack Rodwell in response to Dembélé’s skill. And somehow, despite standing three feet away with a perfect view of the clatterin...
Former Refugee Luol Deng Speaks On Trump's Muslim Ban: "That Light Is Turned Off"

Kyle Lowry Reminded Everyone That He's Still Good As Hell
The Raptors came into tonight’s game with the suddenly competent Pelicans on a 1-6 skid.

This Is The Only Dion Waiters Quo—Wait A Second
Considering green-light incarnate Dion Waiters drained a pair of game-winners in the past week, it seems natural that the human heat check would be feeling himself a little bit. After putting both the Warriors and the Nets in the garbage and averaging 22.4 points over his last five games, the Miami ...
Dwyane Wade Is Also Sick Of Charles Barkley's Shit
Last night, LeBron James finally began to retaliate against his round, mumbling harasser, Charles Barkley. This came as a balm to any LeBron fan who’d been exposed to Chuck’s cattle-prod takes on Inside the NBA, which abandon even the veneer of basketball analysis in favor of ahistorical trolling. A...
