Alleged Rapist Bill Cosby Bullies Reporter, Explains How Life Works
The problem with most conspiracy theories about how the media works is that they assume power exerts itself overtly. The truth is that it doesn't have to. Journalists are rarely told by powerful or influential people not to cover certain stories; they usually simply decline to cover them out of a va...
Tiger Woods, In His Own Words
So Tiger Woods is all bent out of shape about a satirical piece Dan Jenkins wrote in Golf Digest. We think Woods is a hollowed-out dummy who long ago ceased to be a human being, but we do agree with part of his criticism of Jenkins. The "fake interview" conceit is just fine, but Jenkins shouldn't ha...
Lindsey Vonn Is Just As Dumb And Humorless As Her Boyfriend Tiger Woods
Yesterday at The Players' Tribune, "Tiger Woods" "wrote" the dumbest fucking thing in response to a satirical, obviously fake piece that ran in a recent issue of Golf Digest.

Sports Columnist Loses His Mind Over Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose has had an uneven start to the season. He's looked pretty damn good when he's on the court, but he's already missed four games due to a pair of sprained ankles he's been dragging around.

The Crazy Kobe Trade Ideas Season Is Now Open
One of the many joys of a high-profile NBA team collapsing is when the desperate homers and old-fart national columnists who, weirdly, don't pay any actual attention to the NBA begin wildly overestimating what the team could get back by trading away its bad players. Hey, the Knicks are in the toile...
