Patrick Sharp Leads The League In Great Sports Babies
Winger Patrick Sharp scored on the power play—the Stars’ first in 13 chances—and set up Cody Eakin’s overtime winner to tie the second-round series with the Blues at two games apiece. But more importantly than all that, the Stars are headed back to Dallas for Game 5. And Patrick’s headed back to see...
The Sharks Thought They Got Screwed On Joe Pavelski's No-Goal
What would a triple-OT game be without some controversy? Two periods before Mike Fisher won it for Nashville to knot up the series, San Jose’s Joe Pavelski thought he had finished things off, scoring from his belly (and with Pekka Rinne pinned beneath him). It was a mess....
Justice Is Real: The Arizona Dong Teen Will Go Free
Earlier this week, 19-year-old Hunter Osborn, a senior at Red Mountain High School, had a felony charge and 69 misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure brought against him for stupidly exposing his dong in the football team’s yearbook picture. While we don’t endorse the specific action Osborn took, t...
The Story Behind Hockey's Most Famous Photo
The number of truly iconic hockey pictures is surprisingly small. The sport is notoriously difficult to photograph, thanks to the fast-paced action, the elusive puck, and some unique space, proximity, and lighting restrictions. There’s Denis Brodeur (yes, Martin’s father) and his shot of Paul Hender...
James Dolan Wants You To Love His Band
The richest touring musician in the world is being called to the stage for a soundcheck....
The Atlanta Hawks Are Being Whiny Babies
One of the best things about basketball is that it is not baseball. I enjoy both sports equally, but basketball has always had an edge in the not-employing-humorless-dickwads department, which means you rarely ever see NBA players or coaches talking about “class” or “playing the right way.” The Atla...
Loafer-Wearing Miami Bro Commemorates Brandon Drury's Wild Catch With Totally Rad Selfie
Everyone knows that these ASU sorority sisters are the highest practitioners of the baseball selfie, but this Miami bro—clearly motivated to show his stuff against their beloved Diamondbacks—made lemonade when Brandon Drury crashed into his zone....
How Two Online Baseball Writers Won An Indie-League Draft By Finding Talent And Stealing It
The following is excerpted from The Only Rule Is It Has To Work, the wonderful new book in which two sabermetrically-inclined baseball writers—Sam Miller of Baseball Prospectus and Ben Lindbergh of ESPN—recount their experience running baseball operations for the Sonoma Stompers, an actual, real-lif...
I Was Catfished By ABC's <i>What Would You Do?</i>
I originally leveraged online dating to begin seeing average-sized women. Before moving back to New York a few years ago, I had only dated little women— i.e., women who were born with dwarfism. At bars or parties, my social anxiety, the kind that comes with being a little person myself, made it diff...
Kyle Lowry Halfcourt Bomb Sends Game 1 To Overtime
Kyle Lowry had been struggling all game, until the bitter end of Toronto’s opening game against Miami, when he hit this absolute moonshot to tie the game at 90 and send it to overtime. The Heat had it just about sealed up (TNT read the credits and everything) until they got too lackadaisical, got ca...
Column Calls For Return Of Racist Braves Mascot, Is Promptly Deleted
Bill Shanks’ column in the Macon Telegraph on why the Atlanta Braves should bring back their old mascot Chief Noc-A-Homa—a caricature of an Native American chief with a name that appears to be a baseball pun mashed together with what someone thought sounded like an “Indian name”—begins thusly:...
High School Football Player Hit With Felony Charge And 69 Counts Of Indecent Exposure For Yearbook Dong-Pic Prank
High school is a time for immaturity, revelry, and doing dumb pranks with your friends. Sometimes these pranks are good and funny, like the one these Ohio teens who fake-delivered a baby on court at a basketball game pulled. Sometimes they’re vicious and mean. Sometimes they’re just stupid, which br...
Former NFL Star Dana Stubblefield Charged With Raping A Developmentally Disabled Woman
Per the Santa Clara County DA, former NFL Defensive Player Of The Year Dana Stubblefield has been charged with raping a developmentally disabled woman last year in his Morgan Hill home. ...
I Will Ride For Gwyneth Paltrow's Cookbook
Most modern cookbooks are too complicated. With the rise of the celebrity chef and the attendant fetishization of foodie culture, everyone gets their own shot at the genre nowadays, and the results are mostly worthless. Inevitably, they attempt to replicate restaurant dishes that necessitate restaur...
This Is The Best Jaguars Fan
The Jaguars’ draft class needs no further analysis. A woman interviewed by a local news station has said all that needs to be said....
Yeah, OK, I'm All About The Sharks
The NHL’s playoff bracket is a little bit broken when each conference’s best two teams are playing each other in the second round, but a nice side effect is that we’re getting close series—and through two games, they look close all around. That includes Sharks-Predators, even if San Jose is up 2-0. ...

Jay Beagle Got Hockey Sticks Stuck In His Helmet And Skate
Capitals center Jay Beagle found a way to get a hockey stick stuck in his equipment on two separate occasions in Thursday’s game against the Penguins. The first was a remarkable fluke; the second was a beneficial one....
Here's Laremy Tunsil Admitting He Took Money At Ole Miss Before Getting Abruptly Hustled Off Stage
After Laremy Tunsil fell to #13 in the draft, texts purporting to show conversation with Ole Miss staffers about them paying his rent popped up on his Instagram. The posts were deleted, along with Tunsil’s account, and given when they were posted, it’s highly unlikely that he posted them himself....
Here's The Moment Laremy Tunsil Learned His Instagram Had Been "Hacked"
First, a video of Laremy Tunsil smoking a substance out of a gas mask turned up on the NFL prospect’s Twitter account.
