Jake Paul stealing the show is a dangerous omen for boxing

November 28 was one of the year’s craziest nights to date, yet an actual fight between 54-year-old Mike Tyson and 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. doesn’t top the list of reasons why. In fact, the Tyson-Jones main event doesn’t rank in the top three....

Saturday Fight Night: Previewing Mike Tyson v. Roy Jones Jr. (& Nate Robinson v. Jake Paul!) [UPDATED]

More than 15 years ago, Mike Tyson sat on his ass for 13 seconds at the end of round six against journeyman heavyweight Kevin McBride.

Finally, The MLB Playoffs Will Look Like Baseball

It’s been a mangled, peeps-in-the-chili baseball season, and anyone who tries to tell you different is either selling something, thinks the sky is green (not when it’s actually been orange), or is just clinging to one of the pillars of their life so desperately in order to believe that something, an...

Is the Dream Already Over for Shohei Ohtani?

Baseball announcers love to tell you the great thing about the game is that every day you have a chance, maybe even likely, to see something you’ve never seen before. That doesn’t always hold true, but it’s a lovely thought. All sports promise something memorable and awe-inspiring at a moment’s noti...

The Jets Seem Like They're About Done With Trumaine Johnson

Heading into Monday night’s matchup against the Browns, the Jets had to know that the outcome would be in large part dependent on how well they could contain Odell Beckham Jr. It didn’t go great! Beckham caught six balls for 161 yards and a score in Cleveland’s 23-3 win. After the game, all the ques...

Jalen Richard, For The Good Of Everyone, Please Vaccinate Your Kids

The Pacers Kept Handing Bojan Bogdanovic The Ball Until It Killed Them

It looked like the Pacers got some much-needed redemption on Wednesday. After putting up a measly eight points in the third quarter against the Celtics in Game 1—Indiana would go on to lose 84-74—the Pacers had a strong third quarter of their own in Game 2, outscoring Boston 29-16. But that momentum...

Some Types Of Pain Are More Valuable Than Others

It’s both a truism and true that politics is about power, how it’s used and who it’s used against. But politics are also about the business of pain—about which individuals and which communities bear how much and at what cost, and so implicitly whose pain is worth more than others. Everyone lives in ...

The Five Best Conor McGregor Fights

After a two-year absence spent looking at boats, pretending to box, and destroying a bus with a metal barricade, Irish puncher Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC octagon is finally nigh.

<i>Uncle Drew</i> Probably Shouldn't Exist, But Definitely Isn't Bad

It is not a new or strange thing for professional athletes to want to be seen as more than the sum of their athletic achievements, and you don’t need to be a professional athlete to understand why.
