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....
The Story Behind The Perfect Photo Of Sports' First Streaker
When freelance photojournalist Ian Bradshaw went to Twickenham Stadium in the spring of 1974 to cover a rugby union friendly between England and France, he expected to shoot nothing more than another bloodbath between two fierce rivals. He returned instead with an instantly iconic photograph that si...
Eric Dickerson To Resume Attending Rams Games Next Season
Jeff Fisher—coach of the 4-7 Rams, losers of six of seven and owners of the least productive offense in football—is currently embroiled in a feud with Eric Dickerson, who starred for the Rams the last time they were (good) in Los Angeles. The beef stems from Fisher reportedly banning Dickerson from ...
Who Lost The White House?
After a long, ugly, and immensely stupid presidential election, a modest plurality of a little more than half of voting-age Americans voted to make a deeply loathed avatar of the despised political establishment the next President of the United States. Unfortunately, they were improperly geographica...
Dan Le Batard: Colin Kaepernick, Like Much Of America, Misunderstands Cuba
Dan Le Batard dedicated a large portion of his radio show yesterday to discussing the death of Fidel Castro and the rift between the way Cuban-Americans perceived the dictator and the way Americans from outside of South Florida did....
The Giants' Defense Has Made A Historic Turnaround
OK, so they just beat the Browns, and everyone has beaten the Browns. OK, their offense and their special teams remain frustratingly inconsistent. And, OK, this is probably not a defense that’s going to make anyone forget what they did in Super Bowls 42 and 46. But the Giants have won six in a row a...
Anthony Davis Explains The Difference Between His Team And Good Teams
The New Orleans Pelicans started the season 0-8 despite having one of the very best basketball players in the world, Anthony Davis, on the roster. They improved a bit with the return of point guard Jrue Holiday, but they lost to a dreadful Mavericks team on Sunday and are now 6-12 on the season. Dav...
Russell Westbrook Is Averaging A Triple-Double Later Into A Season Than Anyone Since Oscar Robertson
You can have your unexpected breakthroughs, and your schadenfreude-inspiring disappointments, but for my money there isn’t anything better in sports than when a player becomes laden with viciously unrealistic expectations—and exceeds them. With Kevin Durant gone and Oklahoma City lacking an identity...
Bryant Basketball Player Dribbles Out The Clock After Forgetting His Team Is Losing
Somewhere in this chaotic scramble to end the Brown-Bryant game tonight, Bryant freshman Ikenna Ndugba lost his handle on the score of the game. With 12 seconds left, Nisre Zouzoua nailed a fadeaway three to give Bryant a one-point lead. Brown drove down the floor with urgency and Tavon Blackmon sli...
What The Hell Was Aaron Rodgers Doing In This Weird Tent?
The most noteworthy moment from tonight’s Packers-Eagles game was Aaron Rodgers disappearing into a MYSTERY TENT for a bit in the third quarter for some reason. It was initially unclear what the tent was or why Rodgers entered it, and Lisa Salters wasn’t sure what Rodgers was doing....
Aaron Rodgers Threw One Of The Prettiest Passes You'll See All Season
Aaron Rodgers is negating with the Eagles’ fearsome pass rush tonight by getting the football out very quickly and not allowing them the time that they would normally be using to put the Packers QB on his ass. Green Bay moved the ball efficiently throughout the first half and they converted their fi...
DeMarcus Cousins Wishes Professional Ruin Upon John Wall
The Kings and Wizards are playing tonight in front of about 17 people in Washington D.C. It’s a fairly unimportant meeting between two sad sack teams, but it allowed Kentucky teammates DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall to reminisce about their friendship and look toward the future, a future in which Co...
Bill Belichick Apparently Cost Tim Tebow A Lucrative Endorsement Right Before Cutting Him
Before he turned into a full-on salesperson with a struggling baseball career, Tim Tebow was briefly a New England Patriot. He was on the team for most of the summer of 2013, but he got cut before the season started. Tebow, fresh off a middling spell in the Arizona Fall League, is now promoting his ...
Rams Legend Eric Dickerson Says Team Banned Him From Sidelines Over Criticism
Eric Dickerson is one of the most iconic players in Los Angeles Rams franchise history. He set the single-season record for rushing yards (which still stands) in 1984 and led the NFL in rushing three times in his four full seasons with the team. Dickerson advocated for the Rams to move back to Calif...
Josh Norman Clarifies Comments About Dez Bryant, Is A Weenie<em></em>
The spiciest moment from this year’s serving of Thanksgiving NFL games was the eruption of a full-blown beef between Josh Norman and Dez Bryant. The two spent most of the game yipping at each other before getting into an altogether muted scuffle immediately after the game ended. ...

A Psychologist Says She Is Quitting The VA Because Of Donald Trump
