Conor McGregor Fined $150K For Throwing Beverages At The Diaz Brothers
Before Conor McGregor took a narrow decision win over Nate Diaz at UFC 202, the rivals squared off and threw a bunch of water bottles at each other after McGregor arrived late to a press conference. It was a relatively harmless and entertaining spectacle, one that certainly hyped up the fight. McGre...
Marquette King Is Good At The Internet
Raiders punter Marquette King is one of the best at his position in the NFL, landing in the top 10 in almost every major statistical category. He’s also a superb internet user whose crafted memes put my work for the Jamboroo to shame. This came to our attention this afternoon, when King dropped this...
Martin Shkreli Talking Like A Human Being Was The Best Part Of The Alt-Right Art Show
#DaddyWillSaveUs, the pro-Donald Trump art show put on this weekend by Milo Yiannopoulos, Lucian Wintrich, Martin Shkreli, and Gavin McInnes, was pretty anti-climactic. After they had been thrown out of The Boiler gallery in Williamsburg, the bad boys of conservatism went scrambling for another venu...
The Big Ten Got Exactly What It Wanted In Rutgers
Over the past two weeks, Rutgers has been outscored by Ohio State and Michigan by a combined 136-0, dropping to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in the Big Ten while sparking yet another round of people asking just why in the hell the Scarlet Knights are a part of the conference. This is to serve as a reminder t...
Vivek Ranadivé Deflects Almost All Blame For The Kings' Problems In Surreal Interview
The Sacramento Kings have been hilariously incompetent for a long while now, but especially since Vivek Ranadivé and a group of investors bought them three and a half years ago. They have shuffled through front office decision-makers (Pete D’Alessandro, Chris Mullin, Dean Oliver) and coaches (Keith ...
This Rude Tweet About The Knicks Is Factually Wrong But Spiritually Correct
ESPN’s NBA-focused Twitter account @ESPNNBA has been doing that thing where a Twitter account counts down the days until the beginning of some new season with photos that correspond to whatever number of days is left until the start of whatever is being anticipated. Today, the account tweeted an ima...
Donald Trump Beat The Press
On Saturday, as Republicans lined up to denounce Donald Trump and the pussy-grabbing candidate brooded in his tower, BuzzFeed’s editor-in-chief, Ben Smith, published a piece arguing that what was unfolding was not just a defeat for Trump’s image, but a victory for the established traditions of journ...
Harvard Official Told Law School Students Not To Use Funds To Feed Striking Workers

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Says Some Dumb Shit About Colin Kaepernick
It is, let me say here, quite weird to project your own beliefs and aspirations onto an octogenarian Supreme Court justice and expect it to never backfire. But woke Twitter folk hero Ruth Bader Ginsburg, center of a highly marketable personality cult, has some gross things to say about Colin Kaepern...
Athletes To Trump: What Kind Of Locker Room Are You Spending Time In?
It doesn’t take a locker room to make shitty men talk like shitty men amongst themselves, but at last night’s debate, Donald Trump doubled down on his claim that his 2005 comments that he used his wealthy status to sexually assault women by grabbing them by the pussy were “just locker room talk.” He...
Skip Bayless Is Gaining On ESPN In A Ratings War That Doesn't Matter<em></em>
ESPN’s flagship shoutfest, First Take, has long and rightly been reviled for degrading everyone and everything it touches. Until co-host Skip Bayless departed earlier this year, that didn’t seem to matter at all to its loyal core audience, which happily tuned in each day no matter how repulsive or j...
I Want To Hug And Kiss Derek Carr's Touchdown Passes
There are a lot of ways for a quarterback to become famous. You can be the crazy gunslinger; you can be the big-brained maestro; you can be the giant fuck who is impossible to sack; you can be the, uh, guy who ran into a butt. Through the first few weeks of this season, Raiders quarterback Derek Car...
CEO Of USA Track & Field Accused Of Wildly Excessive Spending
Max Siegel, CEO of USA Track and Field, is enjoying first class travel, private jets, luxury hotels, and $1.7million in compensation—seven times what an average CEO at a similarly sized nonprofit makes—according to the Washington Post. This is all part of a “culture change” he and USATF board member...
Report: Giants OT Ereck Flowers Shoved ESPN Reporter
It is unclear exactly why Giants second-year offensive tackle Ereck Flowers has it out for ESPN.com Giants beat writer Jordan Raanan. But he totally does....
Please, Invite Us To Your Manipulative Off-The-Record Cocktail Parties
This weekend, The Intercept published leaked documents from the Clinton campaign detailing cozy, lavish “off-the-record” events with top political journalists. This is an outrage. (That we weren’t invited). ...
Mike McCoy Is Running Out Of Ways To Lose
Let it never be said that the Chargers lose boring. Dating back to the start of last season, 13 of San Diego’s 16 losses have come by a single score. They’re 1-4 this year, all four losses coming after blowing second half leads. This is not a team that loses so totally their fans are free to turn of...
Odell Beckham Jr. Scores, Apologizes To Kicking Net
Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. boiled over and smacked a kicking net in Week 3 after Skins cornerback Josh Norman got under his skin. (The kicking net smacked back.) After scoring his first touchdown of the season tonight, Beckham made amends with the equipment by giving it a hug....
At Least Someone Has His Priorities Straight
