Alex Honnold's Ropeless Ascent Of El Capitan Is Nerve-Wracking And Historic
Rock climbing is a brutally simple sport. Whether you’re on a bouldering wall, a granite face, or an actual mountain, the line between success and failure is plainly clear. You have to reach the top of whatever you’re attempting to summit or you’ll fall in the process....

Coworker, Athletes Give Jason Whitlock Shit For Criticizing LeBron On Racism<em></em>
Jason Whitlock, a Fox Sports 1 employee whose purpose is to make Colin Cowherd look somehow pleasant by comparison, had quite an angle on police reports that a racist slur was spray-painted on LeBron James’s Los Angeles home. The All Takes Matter host called it a “disrespectful inconvenience” for Ja...

J.R. Smith Finishes Off Cavs' Historic <em></em>First-Half Blowout With Incredible Buzzer-Beater
Isaiah Thomas insisted yesterday that the Cavs are “not the Monstars.” A 72-31 first half decapitation sure would seem to disagree with his assessment. LeBron James was transparently fucking around, playing center for long stretches and ripping through the Celtics like cheap toilet paper for 22 poin...

Fox News Pays Tribute To Roger Ailes By Putting The Worst Possible Shit On TV Today
The Fox News Specialists, the new Fox program that gave the world Joe Namath yakking about Syria with Karl Rove, has blessed us again. Yapping cheshire cat and First Take host Stephen A. Smith linked up with apartheid apologist Ted Nugent on another edition of the show this afternoon, and the two sp...

Grigor Dimitrov Thoroughly Ruins His Racket
Grigor Dimitrov lost to Juan Martin del Potro, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 at the Italian Open today. He hit some nice shots in a disappointing first-round exit, but saved his finest technique for this two-part racket devastation: First the spike, then the bare hands....

How Better To Celebrate A Game 7 Than By Slapping Stephen A. Smith On The Ass?
The Washington Wizards forced a Game 7 against the Boston Celtics last night with a dazzling, heart-stopping three-pointer by John Wall. The Celtics, dressed for a funeral, were sent away mourning on their own. How best to celebrate? Giving a nice hearty ass-slap to Stephen A. Smith!...

Grigor Dimitrov And Dominic Thiem Played The Best Tennis Of The Week And It Was Infuriating
For the better part of this week, it looked like Grigor Dimitrov was ready to shake himself out of his stupor—he’d lost his opening match at the last three tournaments, c’mon man—and make these frenzied blogs look a little less stupid. He started this Madrid Open looking like a whole player again, b...

FIFA Did A Bunch Of Shady Shit This Week
There is a lot of corruption going on in the world, but not at FIFA, no siree. Since numerous top officials were arrested two years ago, and longtime president Sepp Blatter was ousted and replaced by the much chiller Gianni Infantino, one might assume that FIFA now takes corruption and ethics seriou...

Referee Barfs, Receives Red Card
Overcome by some kind of stomach bug, or maybe, as the wonderful Scottish commentator supposes, so offended by the poor quality of this weekend’s Dundee-Kilmarnock match, line judge Andrew McWilliam couldn’t resist the urge to puke, and began blowing chunks out there on the pitch. The head ref took ...

The Bears' Mitch Trubisky Pick Keeps Looking Worse And Worse
I made the mistake of going outside this weekend instead of turning off my lights, pulling my curtains, and binging on schadenfreude from the Bears’ shocking draft decision to give up two thirds and a fourth to move up one spot to grab QB Mitchell Trubisky, whom they could’ve had at No. 3 overall an...

Why Did The Bears Give Up So Much For Mitch Trubisky?
Nobody was more surprised at the Chicago Bears’ decision to send four draft picks to the San Francisco 49ers for the right to move up one spot and draft Mitch Trubisky than Trubisky himself. That’s because, according to Trubisky, the Bears only worked him out once, and never communicated with him in...

Last Night's Winner Was This Packers Fan At A Bears Draft Party
Last night, Chicago traded up to take North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky with the second overall pick, enraging Bears fans but absolutely delighting this Packers fan who turned up at the draft party to, presumably, mock his conference rivals....

Parade Of Errors Helps Orioles Score On Little League Inside-The-Park Home Run
Kevin Kiermaier is one of the best defensive center fielders in the game, but tonight, he helped give the Orioles a pair of undeserved runs. Kiermaier’s error was the least decisive of the series of fuck-ups that gifted Seth Smith a little league inside-the-park home run, he just started what became...

Grigor Dimitrov Just Can't Seem To Break Through
Grigor Dimitrov, the talented but streaky member of a generation of men’s tennis players that’s been largely overshadowed by the longevity of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic cohort, looked poised to break out in 2017 when he started the year by winning 17 of 18 matches, knocking off three top-10 seeds al...

What It’s Like To Announce A Tennis Match That's Been Interrupted By Loud Sex Noises
Mike Cation heard a moan, and figured it was just two people in the stands talking loudly. The tennis announcer, working the USTA Pro Circuit’s Sarasota Open on Tuesday, looked at the crowd and saw everyone looking around. Then it became clear: This wasn’t two people talking. This was two people fuc...
