Fabio Aru Beats Tom Dumoulin To Win Vuelta a España
Tom Dumoulin was never supposed to be this close, and yet, for 19 stages, he was. The Vuelta a España is a cruel race full of steep ascents. The guys who win this race trend lighter and less well-rounded than Tour de France winners, simply because the parcours are a sadistic climbing party with few ...

"Oh My Gosh! No!" Vandy's Inadvertent Fake Punt Sparks Marvelous Verne Lundquist Moment

Everton Whomp Chelsea Behind Steven Naismith Hat Trick

<i>Shanghai Noon</i> Is The Goofy Kung-Fu Western You Didn't Know You Wanted

The studios could make more Rush Hour movies, of course, which they absolu...

America Has Always Wanted To Pretend That Sports Aren't Work
Last month, given the chance to affirm that college athletes have basic labor rights, the National Labor Review Board punted. It’s rare that a sports metaphor so perfectly crafted for lazy headline writers is so fitting, but punting—the most cowardly, spineless, and responsibility-evading decision r...

<i>Kung Fu Hustle </i>Is Goofy, Referential, And Totally Insane
The whole point of the Jim Carrey movie The Mask is the idea of using CGI to combine a pretty standard and amiable zero-to-hero comedy with the antic, absurdist slapstick of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Stephen Chow’s 2004 movie Kung Fu Hustle came a decade after The Mask and from a different side of the wo...

Scoundrel Mountain: The Sordid, Untold History Of The Pitching Mound

When the Miami Marlins sent Marcell Ozuna to the minors on July 5, there was more in play than just giving the slumping third-year outfielder a chance “to get his rhythm back,” as Ozuna’s agent Scott Boras said he was told. Whether Ozuna becomes eligible for arbitration after this season or next dep...
