Live Dog Mascot Runs Over Women's College Basketball Player During Game<em></em>
The first quarter of Wednesday’s women’s college basketball game between Drew University (N.J.) and Moravian College (Penn.) ended bizarrely when one of Moravian’s live greyhound mascots had a run-in with a Drew player. It’s hard to be more specific beyond a “run-in,” because it happened away from t...
Liverpool Mayor Writes Nutty Letter To The FA Calling For Investigation Of Ross Barkley Transfer
Joe Anderson is the mayor of Liverpool. He is also a diehard and delusional Everton fan. It is presumably this mix of a mayor’s political sway and a fan’s righteous indignation that inspired him to call the cops and ask them to investigate a transfer he didn’t like....
Liverpool And Barcelona Agree To £142 Million Transfer Fee For Philippe Coutinho
The once-dead Coutinho-to-Barcelona transfer, a hot rumor of the post-Neywatch soccer landscape, is now, suddenly, a done deal: today Barcelona and Liverpool reportedly agreed to a £142 million transfer fee that will send the midfielder to Catalonia. Per ESPN:...
The Coutinho-To-Barcelona Transfer Saga Is Back On, And Might Actually Happen This Time
This past summer was a great one for aficionados of melodramatic transfer window soap operas. The most passion-inflamed and drama-filled ones were the two Barcelona-based series, NeyWatch and One Life to Liverpool. NeyWatch, you probably remember, starred the impossibly hunky Neymar and detailed the...
Nothing Could Stop Mohamed Salah From Scoring This Goal
Freewheeling, fun Liverpool are beating up on Bournemouth* with yet another offensive explosion, and they ended a three-goal first half with a brilliant goal from Mohamed Salah, whose single-minded run through the box just overwhelmed his pair of defenders....
Sadio Mané Really Fucked Up
Sadio Mané isn’t the sole reason Liverpool failed to beat Everton in a match they completely controlled everywhere except on the scoresheet. You could and probably should blame the referee for awarding Everton an exceptionally soft penalty from which the Toffees scored their only good chance of the ...
Jürgen Klopp Throws Extended Temper Tantrum Over Late Everton Penalty
Wayne Rooney slammed home a late penalty today to bring underdog Everton even with Liverpool, in what would eventually be a 1-1 draw. No penalty has ever been given in the history of soccer without the penalized side being fucking apoplectic, but this one, well, judge for yourself:...
Liverpool's Attack Is Absolutely Terrifying
Spartak Moscow’s Aleksandr Selikhov isn’t the only keeper who, in the midst of a match against Liverpool, after seeing the ball fly past him for the first or third or fifth time of the day, has found himself sitting there on his haunches in dejection, praying that it had all been some terrible dream...
Shaun Livingston And Referee Courtney Kirkland Suspended For Bumping Heads
Warriors guard Shaun Livingston and referee Courtney Kirkland have each been suspended for their little altercation from yesterday—Livingston for one game and Kirkland for one week. Livingston was assessed a technical and ejected at the time; Kirkland was only found partially responsible after a lea...

No Delivery
Here is a scenario that you have probably found yourself in recently: It’s 7:00 p.m., you’re finally home from work after a long day of whatever it is that you do all day at work, and you’re out of food. You don’t want to walk to the grocery store (ugh!), chop up and heat the foodstuffs you’ve purch...
Olivier Giroud Saves Arsenal With Absurd Golazo
Mediocre Premier League side Arsenal went to Belgrade today to take on Red Star Belgrade in some Europa League action. They played a baffling lineup, and the hosts managed to stymie them all game, until Olivier Giroud hit this weird 85th-minute winner after manufacturing an angle by basically taking...

Jay-Z Wears Kaepernick Jersey On <i>SNL</i>
Jay-Z has long been one of Colin Kaepernick’s most public supporters, from dedicating songs to him during concerts to reportedly turning down an opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show because of the former 49ers quarterback’s blackballing. The artist and tycoon continued his campaign...
Here's Some Good Old Underhanded Tactics
Taro Daniel, last seen taking one set off eventual U.S. Open champion Rafael Nadal, had a 7-5, 7-5 win over Renzo Olivo yesterday at the Szczecin Challenger. Good luck pronouncing the name of that Polish town, or returning this serve Olivo attempted at 5-5 in the second set:...
Jürgen Klopp Left Extremely Confused By Bizarre Beef Between Him And Sevilla Coaches
I should admit up front that the following beef between Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and his coaching counterparts on Sevilla’s bench doesn’t make total sense, but the strange, match-long affair does involve Sevilla’s manager twice playing keepaway with a Liverpool player, him getting sent off for...

The World Needs Manchester City To Free Leroy Sané
This weekend’s Manchester City-Liverpool match was all set to be the game of the week and maybe even one of the games of the season, but then Sadio Mané got sent off towards the end of the first half for nearly embedding the studs of his right boot into Ederson’s skull, and right then and there the ...
