Dan Snyder Removes Thousands Of Seats From FedEx Field
It turns out that Washington’s 200,000-person season-ticket waiting list was a lie was only as firm as the team’s success. There hasn’t been a lot of that in recent years, and there has been a corresponding dip in attendance. But it’s a hell of a lot easier to fill a stadium when you take out 5,000 ...
This Is Why Kilian Jornet Did Not Return Emails Yesterday
So, while you’re warming a chair, carving the brain-pathway triangle from screen to keyboard to couch ever deeper, Catalan runner/climber/skier/mountain man Kilian Jornet was contemplating this line. I think that’s Jornet in the yellow, and steep skiing guide Vivian Bruchez in the blue, with Seb Mon...
The Miami Heat Have Big Plans For 2016
Once again, the Heat need Dwyane Wade. Do they need him more than he needs them? It’s going to be an interesting offseason or two....
Adrian Peterson Gives In, Will Report To Vikings Practice
The monthslong staredown between Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings appears to be settled, if far from amicably: Peterson has announced that he will rejoin the team for OTAs later today, apparently without getting the new contract he wanted. Though Peterson is 30 years old and will be the hig...
Sepp Blatter's Top Lieutenant Named In World Cup Bribe Allegations
Jerome Valcke, FIFA’s secretary general and Sepp Blatter’s No. 2 man, has been implicated in a scheme that the feds believe involved a $10 million bribe in exchange for votes for the 2010 South Africa World Cup. ...
Beer Is Better Outside (Especially This One)
Yesterday’s Drunkspin celebrated June’s arrival by blabbing about beach beer, which was fun until the whole thing turned out to be a dirty damn tease. While I was inside writing about the perfect low-alcohol ginger-grapefruit beer for lifeguards who want to catch a safe little buzz in the sun, the o...

Giancarlo Stanton Eats Kit Kats Like A Monster
Look, it doesn’t matter how good Giancarlo Stanton is at hitting home runs. No one’s allowed to eat a Kit Kat like that. That chocolate bar was made to be broken into columns, and instead, Stanton took a big bite out of it (and common decency)....
Remember When Kevin Smith Sent Out The Worst Tweet Of All Time?
Our own Barry Petchesky reminded us out of nowhere today that we’re nearing the six-year anniversary of the worst tweet of all time, sent out by noted jorts enthusiast Kevin Smith....
Joey Votto Walked On Three Balls; Everything Is A Lie
Joey Votto only needed three balls to get on base in Sunday’s game, because no one caught the mistake. Sunday baseball’s full of rogues who don’t even respect pitch counts. Everyone’s too laid-back....
Cleancast: What's The Worst Thing That Exploded In Your Suitcase?
It’s happened to all of us (even me!): You’re traveling to a tropical locale for a much needed sit-on-the-beach-and-drink-umbrella-cocktails vacation, and your sunscreen explodes all over your luggage en route. Total nightmare time. (Today is the day that we will all commit to a lifetime of packing ...
Ice-Cold Beer Sucks (Except This One)
Happy June, hot stuffs! Let’s celebrate with a couple cold ones. But not too cold. According to this article by Chicago Tribune reporter Josh Noel, most of the beer we drink is at least 5 degrees colder than it should be. It seems most bars set their draft systems at 38 degrees, whereas beer-appreci...
Report: UAB Football Is Back
The University of Alabama at Birmingham—the one that killed football and unleashed hell on itself—is now bringing back the program back to life just six months after its death. ...
Fast-Food Guac-Off: Subway Versus Dunkin' Donuts
Sauces and adjectives are the coagulated lifeblood of fast-food “innovation,” because it’s relatively cheap and easy to spike ranch dressing with cayenne dust, refer to the resulting substance as Kickin’, and splort it onto a chicken patty. It’s a slimy move, but what do you expect them to do? Impro...
What The Fresh Hell Is This Rob Gronkowski Video?
Gregarious tricep Rob Gronkowski did an interview with DuJour—we have no idea what it is, but it claims to be “Where Luxury Lives”—and while the written profile doesn’t cover much new ground outside of Gronk’s drinking preferences, which we’ll get to later, the video accompanying the article is quit...
Mats Zuccarello's Injury Turned Out To Be Terrifying
The Rangers season might have gone very differently if they hadn’t lost fifth-leading scorer Mats Zuccarello in the last game of the opening round against Pittsburgh. The Rangers winger was struck in the head with a slapshot, left the game, and never returned....
Atlanta Hawks Unveil New Logos
The recently eliminated Hawks officially revealed their new logos today, and the primary logo is mighty familiar. It’s a fleshed-out version of the “Pac-Man” logo the team began using as an alternate last season, which is itself an update of the one used for most of the team’s history....
Shirtless Richie Incognito Shows Up At Kenny Chesney Concert
Country-music terrorist Kenny Chesney took a break from performing in the summer of 2014, which was a relief to the people who had to clean up the garbage left behind by drunk idiots at his concert at Heinz Field. This year, Chesney returned to Pittsburgh, and new Bills lineman Richie Incognito was ...
Surging Into Adolescence With William Finnegan
William Finnegan’s new book, Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life looks like a choice read. Dig the excerpt in The New Yorker: ...
Watch Hollywood Park Grandstand Implosion
Demolition crews imploded the grandstands at Hollywood Park yesterday morning, and it didn’t just mean the end of a historic racetrack, which was open from 1938-2013. That land is owned by Stan Kroenke, who wants to build a stadium on the site for his Rams. He hopes to break ground as early as the e...
