Trump Fed Nominee Stephen Moore Was Very Upset About Women In Sports Just As A General Thing
Stephen Moore has built a long career in and around conservative politics by repeatedly advocating for the government to cut taxes. He is not great at it, but it is a quirk of that job that he doesn’t really have to be great at it, or even good at it. He just needs to do exactly what’s expected of h...

Don't Worry, The Sacramento Kings Are Still Dumb As Dogshit
The Sacramento Kings—the NBA’s most laughable franchise and, by ESPN’s estimation, the most miserable team in pro sports—finally had a good season. They didn’t make the playoffs, but they finished 39-43, a 12-win improvement over the previous season. De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield took big steps up, t...
Guy Who Publicly Threw Le'Veon Bell Under The Bus Wants Former Steelers To Stop Airing Dirty Laundry

Fuck This Instant Replay Bullshit
With 68 seconds left in overtime of the NCAA Tournament’s championship game, Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter poked the ball out from the hands of Texas Tech guard Davide Moretti, sending the ball out of bounds. To everyone watching, from the fans in attendance to those at home and especially to the CBS a...
De'Andre Hunter Was Worth The Wait
It was, right up until it wasn’t, the sort of tournament that can crumble a draft stock. Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter, a projected lottery pick, had had a mediocre (by his standards) tournament, averaging 11.25 points per game over his previous four, and failing to score more than 14—still below his s...
Virginia's Ugly Basketball Now Has Undeniable Results
In basketball, at what point does one team’s incompetence become a credit to the other team’s ability to provoke that incompetence? What separates bad shooting from good defense? Well, the Virginia Cavaliers don’t need to ponder those questions right now, because their sludge style of play let them ...
Intentionally Missing Free Throws Is Harder Than It Looks
