How To Share Money In A Relationship
We spend huge chunks of our lives trying to acquire both love and money. At some point, though, we’d all kind of like to have both. And when you do—and you and your significant other have been living together in sweaty sin long enough—there then comes a time where your financial future becomes plura...
Here It Is, The Bicycle Kick To End All Bicycle Kicks
That Javi Gómez, of third division Spanish club UD Socuéllamos, managed to score with this insane, volleyed overhead kick is crazy enough. But that he even thought to shoot there, when probably no one in the world save maybe Zlatan Ibrahimović would’ve considered it, makes it all the more spectacula...
Draymond Green Blasts Reporter Who Asks Bizarre Question About Houston Floods
This is a very strange moment from Draymond Green’s postgame press conference following yesterday’s 121-94 victory over the Rockets. The reporter seems to be asking Green about similarities between this series—where the Rockets won Game 3 as Houston was still dealing with a major flood, but got blow...
Chris Broussard Rips Off <i>Dallas Morning News</i> Editor
Dallas Morning News sports editor Damon Marx snapped the above photo of Justin Anderson and Kevin Durant shaking hands following last night’s Thunder-Mavericks game, one in which Durant was ejected for cracking Anderson in the face. ESPN’s Chris Broussard, apparently unable to deal with someone else...
Serena Williams Makes Cameo Appearance In Beyoncé <i>Lemonade</i> Video
Tonight’s much-anticipated but mysterious HBO program Lemonade has proven—we think—to be Beyoncé’s upcoming album in longform video. One track (Update: now that the tracklist is out it appears to be titled “Sorry”) featured Serena Williams as a featured dancer; here it is, with lyrics (via closed ca...
Man Holding Infant Catches Home Run Ball
This proud papa is a Pirates fan, but he wasn’t too proud to celebrate the feat of hauling in Welington Castillo’s fourth-inning homer in Arizona tonight. Multitasking? Call me when he does it while holding a baby in one hand and a beer in the other....
Decoding <i>GQ</i>'s Most Stylish Men In The World
GQ has blessed us with their annual Most Stylish Men list, and you’ll never guess what all these gentlemen have in common!...

Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith will stand trial in Santa Clara, California, on May 2 on charges of DUI, hit-and-run, and leaving the scene of an accident.

So Help Me, I'm Actually Kind Of Excited About The <i>Independence Day</i> Sequel
The first trailer didn’t really do it for me, but I now find myself entirely on board for a bad-fun sequel to the best-worst-funnest movie I ever waited on line to see. Independence Day: Resurgence is coming, and instead of exploding cities, this time it’s lifting cities up and dropping them back on...
Daryl Morey Calls Out The Warriors For Dirty Play
The Rockets pulled out a win—even if the bench reacted like they were upset they now have to push back their flight to Cabo another couple of days. But after the game, GM Daryl Morey was sore about a couple of plays that went uncalled, and could have been outright dangerous....
Joey Rickard Teleports A Hit Right Through Josh Donaldson's Glove
Oh, you thought Troy Tulowitzki’s ragged-ass glove would be the only piece of equipment from the left-side of the Blue Jays’ infield to make news this season? Wrong....
Conor McGregor Grabs The UFC By The Dick, Squeezes
The strangest ongoing story in sports this week has been UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor maybe (but probably not) retiring and either dropping out or being pulled from a main event fight against Nate Diaz in July on what the UFC would like to be their biggest-ever fight card....
The Blue Jays Lost In The Saddest Way
Sometimes, your team really bones it and gives up a walk-off home run. Or maybe they lose after a new MLB rule bites them in the ass. Both of those scenarios suck, but neither is outright embarrassing. The Blue Jays’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles in extras tonight, however, ended in sad, humiliating fashi...
Nearly Perfect: The Chicago Bulls Were Frauds
Children don’t pick their heroes, they gravitate to them. This youthful ignorance is blissful insofar as it frees one to feel that magnetic pull without questioning why it exists in the first place. The Jordan-era Chicago Bulls thus became the team of my childhood without any real reason beyond the...
Ex-Iowa State Basketball Star Details Years Of Racial Discrimination In Lawsuit Against Coach
Former Iowa State Cyclones star Nikki Moody filed a lawsuit against her former coach Bill Fennelly late last week for racial discrimination, on the grounds that he had repeatedly called her a “thug” and verbally abused her throughout the course of her career. She also names the school and the state ...
ESPN's Darren Rovell On Nike Exploiting Chinese Workers: "It Is What It Is"
ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell, a man with many unread issues of The Economist in his bathroom, has a habit of using his Twitter account to explain that all sorts of terrible things are just fine so long as capitalists can profit from them. Racism? Totally cool if the market says it is. What a...
Family Movie Night At Titans' Stadium Interrupted By Sprinklers
Going to an empty football stadium to lay on the grass and watch a movie on the jumbotron sounds like a perfectly pleasant way to spend a spring evening. It becomes remarkably less pleasant when the stadium forgets to shut off the automatic sprinklers:...
Secret Thermal Camera Footage Allegedly Shows Seven Pro Cyclists Using Illegal Motors In Bikes
Rumors that elite professional cyclists have been riding with small, illegal motors tucked away in their bikes have swirled around the pro peloton ever since this infamous truther’s video presented evidence against Fabian Cancellara in 2010. Despite more suspicious evidence occasionally floating to ...
The Padres Made A Highlight
The Padres, they didn’t get out to a great start this year. They needed 31 innings before they scored their first run of the season. And they’re still at the bottom of the NL West ... but now in a tie, at least, with the Diamondbacks, who make great company for misery....
