Hey, Look: It's LeBron's Dick! (NSFW, Probably)
It sure appears ABC caught LeBron James making an adjustment just before tipoff of tonight’s Game 4:...

LeBron Has Been A Damned Statistical Marvel In The Finals
There’s a way to look at Steph Curry’s stat line as an artifact of not just box score accounting, but his style. If you look closely, there are traces of the visceral experience of watching Steph double axel around a screen and fire up a three from the hip in arcane statistical whimsy, like fast bre...

Here's Our Favorite New Low-Alcohol Beer
Earlier this week, an employee of Colorado’s Caution Brewing Company threw his job to the wind via an angry and profane letter to Evil Twin Brewing in which he chastised the Brooklyn-based contract brewer for their high prices. Evil Twin posted the letter on their Facebook page, prompting Caution’s ...

This Fan Wants To Spend Other People's Money On Her Dumb Hockey Team
Sports’ very existence relies solely on appeal to emotion. So it’s hard to be too critical of the passionate Coyotes fan who tore into elected officials as the city council voted to cancel the Yotes’ arena deal. But it really was a terrible argument on her part....

Ty Cobb Was No One's Antihero
For no obvious reason, 2015 has become the summer of Ty Cobb. Two new books about the famously belligerent outfielder are in print this year, one from SI editor Charles Leerhsen and another, more ambitiously-subtitled one—War on the Basepaths: The Definitive Biography of Ty Cobb—by independent histo...

Rude opinion: there are too many bulldog mascots....

Andrei Vasilevskiy Is Not Quite Good Enough As Blackhawks Even Series
In Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Lightning goalie Ben Bishop went in and out of the game in the third period, possibly because he had the runs. In Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Bishop was obviously hobbled yet still good enough to stone the Blackhawks. Finally, in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup F...

A Fantastic One-Hop IPA, No Matter Who Actually Brewed It
Remember how disappointing it was to realize celebrity chefs rarely cook much of anything, and certainly never touch your insignificant speck of a dinner, even if their name is on the sign out front? It took me a long time to accept that just as Santa Claus can’t fly Legos to all the world’s decent ...

Draymond Green Is Killing The Warriors
After the Warriors seared the exhausted Cavaliers in overtime of Game 1, our own Kevin Draper wrote a smart piece about how Draymond Green’s versatility enables Golden State to use him as the center in a terrifyingly fast and rangy small-ball lineup. “When the Warriors play small they’re unstoppable...

We Are All Escape Artists: What Night Is Like In Prison
Each of the approximately 3,740 days I spent incarcerated in the prisons of New York State was divided into three shifts. The changeovers were marked by counts; the number of convicts in a prison has to agree with the central office’s official tally. The outgoing crew spends the final moments of its...

The Cavs' Injuries Are The Best Thing That Could Have Happened To Them
You will find no postgame quotes from unlikely finals hero Matthew Dellavedova. Rather than making it to the interview room for his scheduled podium appearance, Dellavedova received an IV the locker room, walked out to the parking garage, hopped on a stretcher and was loaded into an ambulance and ta...

12 IPAs For People Who Hate IPAs
As we all know, stouts are the best beers. But with temperatures rising, you may find that your local breweries have fewer on tap, your local liquor stores have fewer in stock, and your loved ones may look at you a little funny when, after mowing the lawn in triple-digit temperatures, you try to coo...

Dumb Nostalgia Tastes Great In Small Doses
Despite all the talk of craft beer’s ascendancy, traditional macro bullshit still accounts for nearly 90 percent of all beer sold in America. But even though it continues to dominate the market, Big Bad Beer is clearly feeling at least a bit of heat. They’ve responded to the minor craft threat in se...

A Hobbled Ben Bishop Is Good Enough
You could make the argument and not be laughed out of the room that Ben Bishop at 100 percent is not preferable to Andrei Vasilevskiy, let alone Ben Bishop with whatever knee/groin/mysterious lower body ailment had him looking like an old man every time he struggled to regain his skates or go to his...

Why Not Brew Your Own Beer?
The art of crafting homemade hooch isn’t just for the heroes of country music songs anymore. Ever since 1979—when President Jimmy Carter signed a bill allowing homemade booze for the first time since prohibition (!)—homebrewing has become an American pastime for self-declared connoisseurs of beer. (...

Growlers Destroy Beer
The 50 American states share a flag, a superiority to Canada, and a passion for chicken fingers, but on most other counts they stand divided. For instance, we have half a hundred different sets of liquor laws; the only unifying theme is that each state adheres to the Constitutional mandate that its ...

P.K. Subban Stops By Street Hockey Game, Punks Little Goalie
Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban crashed a street hockey game in Montreal Sunday and took a few shots. Overlook the fact that Subban’s wearing sandals with jeans, and instead focus on him playing against an overmatched kid in pads....

How The Most Iconic Photo In Women's Soccer Was Almost Never Taken
It was arguably the biggest moment in the history of American women’s sports, and the single most memorable and reproduced image of the celebration. Brandi Chastain had just converted the penalty kick that cemented the 1999 Women’s World Cup for the United States over China. She then experienced a f...
