Report: Man Conspicuously Omitted From Mavericks' Sexual Harassment Report Has Finally Been Fired
Last Friday the Dallas Morning News reported on Danny Bollinger, an 18-year Dallas Mavericks marketing employee with a history of sexual harassment allegations against him, who somehow did not appear in a 43-page independent report on the Mavericks’ workplace. ...

Pete Carroll Gave Sean McVay A Second Chance To Make The Game-Winning Call
The Rams stayed undefeated and extended their lead in the NFC West with a close-run 33-31 road win over the Seahawks, and it all ultimately came down to a matter of inches and seconds. Facing fourth down and about the length of a football with 1:39 left, the Rams sent their punt unit out onto the fi...

This Hit On Brandin Cooks Was Somehow Not Flagged
The NFL appears to have completely abandoned its newly-instated helmet rule that caused loads of controversy in the first couple weeks of the preseason. No penalties were called on Tedric Thompson after he nearly took Brandin Cooks head clean off of his body late in the second quarter of Rams-Seahaw...

Blake Bortles Never Gave The Jaguars A Chance
No team in the NFL has yet to prove themselves capable of slowing down Chiefs rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Jaguars might have had a shot at it today, if not for Blake Bortles....

Chris Jones's Day Included Embarrassing Blake Bortles And Punching A Guy's Ass
The most anticipated game of the early NFL season was pretty one-sided. The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and their high-powered offense have been dominating the supposedly impenetrable defense of the 3-1 Jacksonville Jaguars. Oddly enough, one of the more notable players of the game was not the lea...

Drew Lock Throws Pass To Fallen Receiver, Results In Pick-Six
Saturday’s game between Missouri and South Carolina was a meteorological shitshow. Nothing in the game really encapsulated just how bad the rain in Columbia was like Missouri quarterback Drew Lock failing to see that his intended target on a screen pass had slipped and fallen, and throwing the ball ...

Michigan Fullback Reminds The World That Some White Men Can Jump
Ben Mason has become my personal hero. It’s already great enough that he has chosen to be a fullback in the Big Ten, but he’s decided to crank his likability up a notch and a half by embarrassing defenders on national television like he’s a projected first-round halfback. ...

Report: Mavericks Report Omitted Name Of Employee Who Sexually Harassed Colleagues
The investigators tasked with studying sexual harassment at the Dallas Mavericks say they interviewed 215 current and former employees and reviewed 1.6 million documents before releasing their 43-page report two weeks ago. But after all that, one name was still absent from the report, surprising som...

Let's All Get Irrationally Hyped For Elias Pettersson And The Canucks
The Canucks roasted the Flames on opening night, scoring the first three goals in a fairly easy 5-2 victory. Neither of these mostly irrelevant Canadian teams—the Canucks in particular, with their startling lack of experienced depth players—should do much to challenge the top squads in the West. But...

Nick Saban Is Very Angry At Alabama Fans For Not Attending Guaranteed Win Against Garbage Opponent
Alabama beat the shit out of the Ragin’ Cajuns of Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday. By the end of the first quarter the Crimson Tide had a 28-point lead; by the end of the half it was 49. Louisiana scored a couple of touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but by that time they were already down 56 points....

Brooks Koepka Feels Really Bad About His Shot That Exploded A Woman's Eyeball
Every pro golfer hits a bad ball now and again, and some pro golfers hit a bad ball that catches someone in the gallery, but only one pro golfer hit a bad ball that exploded someone’s eyeball. That pro golfer feels guilty....

Canucks Ban Video Games On Road Trips, Because <i>Fortnite</i> Is Well On Its Way To Ruining The NHL
The Vancouver Canucks are a young team, so like seemingly all young men, their players are obsessed with Fortnite. They love it. Can’t get enough of it. Flossing and shit when they score goals. (So: rarely.) Locking themselves in their hotel rooms and gaming until the sun comes up, instead of the ti...

Are The NHL's Mini-Dynasties Dead?
Until the Capitals broke through to win their first Cup, the Penguins, Blackhawks, and Kings dominated the NHL as the most effective triumvirate since Roman times. Instead of ending with stabbings and civil war, the modern NHL version collapsed for more mundane reasons involving salary caps and agin...

The A's Are Full-On Bullpenning, So Let's Get Weird
The Athletics’ full plan for tonight’s AL wild card game was revealed not when Bob Melvin named reliever Liam Hendriks the starter—though Hendriks prefers the term “opener”—but when Mike Fiers, one of two true starters, was left off the roster for this game. That leaves only Edwin Jackson, and he’s ...

Woman At Ryder Cup Gets Hit With Brooks Koepka Shot, Says Her Eyeball Exploded
This sounds like hell: A woman in the gallery during Friday’s round of the Ryder Cup was hit in the face by an errant Brooks Koepka tee shot on the par-four sixth hole. According to her, the golf ball fractured her eye socket and exploded her eyeball. Exploded....

Reports: Golf Beefs!
It’s been two days since the Americans got their asses handed to them at the Ryder Cup, and you know what that means: It’s time to read the papers and soak up some golf drama....

Ron Baker Sucked A Contact Lens And Then Put It Right In His Damn Eye<em></em>
Ron Baker played 17 mostly second-half minutes in Monday night’s Knicks preseason game, which went to overtime. It was in overtime, with just under a minute left, when Baker was whacked in the face by Wizards rookie Troy Brown and had his contact lens dislodged. Lacking a few drops of nice clean sal...

Markieff Morris's Bad Temper Is In Mid-Season Form
My friends, the Morris twins are extremely back on their bullshit. Last week Marcus Morris took the bait when Tristan Thompson ran his mouth about the LeBron-less Cavs still being the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. Also last week Markieff Morris felt it sensible to declare that the Boston C...
