Women's Youth Soccer Championship Featured Terrible Pitch, Even Worse Miss
Yesterday, France and Spain met in the Women’s U-19 Euro final. Torrential rain before and during the match—and the baffling decision not to cancel play on a count of the pitch being a swamp—meant there was always the threat of something truly zany and/or horrifying happening. That threat was realiz...
Ji-Man Choi Celebrates His First Big Dong By Himself

The Maple Leafs Got A Goalie
It’s Frederik Andersen, late of the Ducks. The Leafs announced the deal today, the 26-year-old Danish netminder in exchange for a 2016 first-rounder (the Penguins’ pick, 30th overall, acquired in the Phil Kessel trade) and a second-rounder next year. Seems like a fine deal for both teams....
The Blackhawks Made Another Painful Trade
The Stanley Cup is barely parading through the streets of Pittsburgh and hot motherfuckin’ stove season is already underway. The Blackhawks are shipping Teuvo Teravainen (he’s good) and Bryan Bickell (he’s bad) to the Hurricanes in exchange for a 2016 second-round pick and 2017 third-round pick (tha...

According to the sons (Nick, J...
Should There Be Testosterone Limits For Women In Athletics?
South African sports scientist Ross Tucker and transgender medical physicist Joanna Harper have written a fascinating piece on women’s sports, and the current lack of any limits on testosterone levels in female track and field athletes. This issue is likely to be one of the most controversial and im...
The Time RGIII Called A Meeting And Told His Coaches How To Coach
Over at The Undefeated, Jason Reid takes a long look at a complex question—why did Robert Griffin III fail in Washington?—and, somewhat disappointingly, operates under the theory that there can be a simple answer. Despite that, it’s a very worthwhile read as both a broad chronicle of a bizarre four ...

Oh Hey, The Ducks Shit The Bed Again
The Predators franchise had never played a Game 7 before, and only six players on the roster had ever been in a winner-take-all game for other teams. Maybe, the Ducks might say, that was an advantage....

He will be replaced by his wife, Julianna Hawn Holt, who will als...
Roddy White Says Kyle Shanahan Forced Him Out Of Atlanta
Roddy White’s release by the Falcons last week was not a huge surprise; it’s hard to justify a 34-year-old third WR with a $6 million-plus cap hit. But White’s an interesting case, because he didn’t precisely demonstrate that he can’t play anymore. Instead, he was simply phased out of the gameplan b...
Ducks And Kings Get Into A Very Testy First Period Line Brawl

Three Flames Players Benched For—Let's Be Honest—Being Hung Over, Probably
Flames leading scorers Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan, along with forward Lance Bouma, were not in the lineup for Calgary’s last night’s 4-3 win over the Leafs.

How are you planning on spending this snowbound evening? Hopefully you weren’t planning on watching the Wizards, Sixers (you definitely weren’t), or the Islanders play tonight.
