ESPN: Richie Incognito Is An Iroquois War God
Richie Incognito, the big Buffalo Bills guard whose name you most likely recognize for its association with him being about as awful as a person can be, is still the same guy he’s always been. He’s the guy who called former teammate Jonathan Martin a “half-nigger piece of shit”; who settled a civil ...
Judge Awards Mike McQueary Additional $5 Million In Whistleblower Lawsuit
Penn State chose not to stand by whistleblower Mike McQueary when he brought forward allegations of child sex abuse and later served as a witness in the case against Jerry Sandusky and the university. Now, the school is paying the price. ...
Keeper Scores Amazing, Last-Second Bicycle Kick, Caps It With Even Better Celebration
Goalkeeper goals are always special for the simple fact that it’s always great when a goalkeeper scores. But Baroka FC keeper Oscarine Masuluke’s stoppage-time equalizer that he knocked in with a crazy overhead kick, coupled with his crotch-grabbing celebration, deserves a spot in the goalie goal ha...
County That Is $1 Billion In Debt Goes Looking For Money To Pay For Cavaliers' Arena Renovations
What happens when an NBA team wants to steal tax dollars in order to pay for arena renovations, but the county it wants to steal from is literally out of money? Does the billionaire who owns the team just go ahead and pay for the renovations himself? Of course not!...

Hot Fucking Stove: Don't Touch The Stove It's Extremely Hot
Good news, friends: The Thanksgiving holiday brought us not just a bounty of meats, side dishes, and familial bonding, but also mildly interesting baseball transactions that could have anywhere from no to some impact on the upcoming season of “America’s pastime.”...
Bad Amateur Hockey Man Tries To Bash Referee's Head In With His Stick
This video comes to us from an amateur hockey game in Buryatia, which devolved into chaos after a player who was assessed a penalty tried to decapitate the referee with his stick....
This Is Cute
Getting Sharks wingers Tomas Hertl and Tommy Wingels to throw on noise-blocking headphones and try to read each other’s lips is a good bit to begin with, but the real star here is Hertl’s giggle....
Kind And Gentle Aussie Goalkeeper Rescues Seagull That Took A Ball To The Face
Born to a sun-scorched land whose cruelly blistering climes have weeded out all but the most terrifying and murderous critters (and, somehow, koalas), it makes sense that Australians would be better equipped than most to interact with the rare friendly creature that crosses their paths with respect,...
Andrew Shaw Gets Penalty, Breaks Stuff, Swears A Lot
Andrew Shaw had scored the Canadiens’ first goal with two minutes left in Tuesday’s game against the Ducks, but he hampered Montreal’s chances at tying when he received a hooking penalty with 27 seconds left. Shaw took his rage out on his stick—and eventually, a bunch of other sticks....

Sam Hinkie Lets It All Out In New<i> Sports Illustrated</i> Profile
Sports Illustrated’s Chris Ballard has just published a profile of former Sixers GM Sam Hinkie. It might be my favorite sports story of the year, and you should go read it immediately, because if you had any lingering doubts about whether Sam Hinkie is really like that, this story will put those dou...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Went Off And Destroyed The Cavaliers
For about a quarter, tonight’s Cavs-Bucks game went about how you’d expect. LeBron James and his pals were tossing audacious passes to each other, slamming the everloving Christ out of the basketball, and helping the Cavs to an easy ten-point lead in the first ten minutes of the game. Instead of rol...
Mark Helfrich Fired By Oregon, Which Makes Sense
As a rule, Oregon doesn’t fire coaches. The last time they fired one was in 1976, instead choosing to promote from within. That’s a perfectly noble system to adhere to if you’re the sort of school that’s accepted lower expectations or manages to find a flawless in-house successor for every coach and...
Maybe Not The Best Time To Dap Up Your Friend, J.R. Smith
Jason Terry is a nice guy and a great shooter. Who isn’t amused by his insane sock habits and propensity for bold tattoos? I’d love to chat with him. But the worst possible time for that chat would be right in the middle of a professional basketball game in which I was responsible for playing defens...
Can You Identify These Animals?
The Gardner Police Department needs your help. The Kansas town set up a bunch of wildlife cameras in a park to try and get footage of a mountain lion. Instead, they got this....
Report: Kenya's Olympic Team Was Torpedoed By Their Own Comically Corrupt Officials<em></em>
Kenya finished the Rio Olympics with 13 track and field medals, second only to the United States who finished with 32. That’s a gulf, not a gap, but after reading details about how thoroughly the team was sold up the river by their own Olympic committee, I’m impressed that Kenya managed that many....
Mike Conley, Who Has Been Tearing It Up, Out Indefinitely With Vertebrae Fracture
After last year’s Achilles-hobbled season, after signing the most lucrative contract in NBA history, and after starting this season on a tear, Mike Conley is hurt yet again. This plainly sucks. During the Grizzlies’ matchup against the Hornets last night, the point guard toppled over after a hard ch...
Mets Do Something Right, Reportedly Re-Sign Yoenis Céspedes
Congrats to all the Mets fans, whose fears of cheap, swindling management rightfully led them to believe that the hero of their 2015 season, Yoenis Céspedes, might not return to Flushing after exercising his one-year opt-out in late October....
