Facebook Is Dead
I don't use Facebook much anymore, because anyone with a brain knows that Facebook is terrible. Apart from the long-standing complaints about privacy and insufferable people posting pictures of their own feet from a fucking beach, it's really only useful as a one-time thing. You make your account....

Reporter Asks Patrick Kane "Was That Your First Overtime Game-Winner?"

Colin Cowherd Is Never Going To Stop Talking About John Wall
WDRB's Rick Bozich wrote a column on Monday in which he recalled the time ferret-faced radio huckster Colin Cowherd went on the air and essentially called John Wall a nigger. Bozich was critical of Cowherd, which led to Cowherd going on the air today and once again fucking that chicken....
Marathon Runners Carrying Competitor Across Finish Line? Didn't Happen.

Evan Mathis Trolled A Reporter Hard
It was questionable whether the Eagles' guard Evan Mathis would show up for today's voluntary OTAs, given that he's a potential trade or holdout candidate. Last night, the Philadelphia Daily News's longtime columnist Paul Domowitch pretty conclusively declared that Mathis would be absent:...
Ex-MLS Defender Robbie Russell Struggles Mightily During NBCSN Debut

Coverage Of Somber Boston Marathon Tribute Marred By Photog's "Fuck!"
CNN, which can't seem to get anything right these days, ruined another bit of coverage today when what appeared to be a moment of silence during Boston's marathon bombing memorial tribute today was interrupted by what sounds like a cursing cameraman....
This Is The Worst Baseball Column
This has to be a joke, it just has to be. Either it's a joke, or the The Batavia Daily News mistakenly published a Scott DeSmit article on sabermetrics from 2003. There can be no other explanation for this lede: "[c]omputers have ruined baseball and 'Sports Illustrated.'" ...
Minnesota "Idiots" Riot Over Lost Championship, Piss Off TV Reporter

Harold Reynolds Announces Revolutionary Findings In Physics
As Yasiel Puig and Josh Hamilton recently found out, sliding into first base is a dumb idea. It is, first, a good way to get hurt, and also everyone knows that it doesn't get you to the bag any faster, because the gains you make by getting closer to the bag are canceled out by negative acceleration...
Hawk Harrelson Should Probably Not Suggest "Asians" Are "Deceptive"

Rhode Island TV News Does Story on Pussy Riot, Won't Say "Pussy Riot"
Hillary Clinton took a photo with Pussy Riot last week, and the former Secretary of State's selfie with the Russian activist rockers went viral. We're not surprised, then, that the story turned up on local news four days after the fact. We are surprised, though, that one TV station tried to cover it...
ESPN's Website To Celebrate Hank Aaron With Night Of Cosplay
Forty years ago today, Hank Aaron hit the 715th home run of his career, surpassing Babe Ruth's mark of 714 and setting the all-time career home run record.
