The "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Shovel Is The Only Thing That Matters
I spent a good 20 minutes struggling to come up with a headline for this post, not because what happens in this video is hard to describe, but because once you’ve seen the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” Shovel do its thing—once you’ve banged the “play” button for the 32nd time and allowed the shovel’s mi...

Co-Ed Softball Team's Pro-Style Instagram Account Is My Favorite Thing
I would like you to meet the Stinkmitts, a beer-league softball team from Toronto that really understands how to get the most out of social media.

Bellator To Pay More Old People To Fistfight In Public
On Friday night, two famous grandfathers fought in a mixed martial arts match on national television for money.

The Golden State Warriors Declare Their Love For The CoCo One Last Time
Earlier this season, the Golden State Warriors started one of the best post-victory rituals in the NBA, one that consisted of the team singing and dancing along to O.T.

In an interesting bit of corporate jiu jitsu, the Philadelphia 76ers will cease referring to their home arena as the “Wells Fargo Center”—its corporate-sponsored name—reports the Associated Press. Instead, the 76ers will refer to it as “The Center” or their “home arena,” seemingly in retaliation aft...
Chris Heston Threw His No-Hitter In Front Of His Little League Coach

News Dude Cries At The Sight Of Sharon Van Etten, Is A Good News Dude
Look, man, it's hard to be moved by things these days.

The problem is that a lot of things are butt, but what is defini...
How One Of America's Greatest Sportswriters Disappeared
It was almost endearing how an ink-smudged, deadline-addicted newspaper editor of yore would squint through the smoke from his cigarette and ask a bright young man why the hell he wanted to write sports.
