NFL Owners I'd Party With, Ranked

Carlos Beltran Put Eye Black On His Head To Make Fun Of Rougned Odor
Texas Rangers designated hitter Carlos Beltran showed up to the team’s Aug. 28 game with a new look, reminiscent of a different Carlos. As it turns out, Beltran didn’t grow some “hair” to fool anyone. He wanted to make a joke at the expense of teammate Rougned Odor....

Yesterday's Craziness Is Why We Love Transfer Deadline Day
The transfer window as a whole pretty much sucks. It teases you with literally thousands of tantalizing rumors about so-and-so team going after so-and-so player, drumming up a cacophony of irrelevant takes about value and fit and ideal roles for transfers that do not and were never going to actually...
Everton Sent A Private Jet To France to Pick Up Moussa Sissoko, But He Signed With Tottenham<em></em>
Transfer deadline day makes for wonderful theater. That guy your team supposedly signed? Nah, he’s in Qatar.

Rougned Odor Slaps Walk-Off Dinger, Stares Down Edwin Diaz
Rougned Odor spent the Rangers’ game against the Mariners tonight messing with Dae-ho Lee, hitting the ball over the field, and futzing around on the basepath.

National Parks, Ranked
This is a barren time in the sports calendar. We are in a desolate trough between the international intrigue of the Olympics and the drama and nonsense of football season. I’m goddamn bored.

All 306 Olympic Medal Events, Ranked

Newspaper Comics, Ranked
We’ve been reminiscing about the funny pages, which provoked the single most blisteringly, violently hot take in the history of our blog site: Andy Capp is superior to Calvin and Hobbes, according to one staffer. Most of the staff ratings were sane and good, however, so we’ve averaged them for your ...
Pokémon I Want To Eat, Ranked
Pokémon canon appears to ignore the very real issue of carnivory. Is there Pokémon husbandry? Which Pokémon are raised, or hunted, or caught and trapped as food? Can vegetarians eat Bulbasaur? Nintendo has dodged this issue too long. These are the Pokémon I think would be tastiest....
Wes Welker Notes That Julian Edelman Is Like Off-Brand Tom Brady
For a while, quarterback Tom Brady and receiver Wes Welker were a winning combination on the Patriots. When Welker left for the Broncos, Julian Edelman filled his spot, and he performed that role well. Too well....
Why Are So Many MMA Fighters Truthers, Conspiracists, And Just Plain Weird?
In late May, Tito Ortiz made a public appearance at a Donald Trump rally, holding up a bumper sticker that read, “Hillary Clinton killed my friends.” It wasn’t the first time he’d publicly backed the demagogue developer; earlier this year he went on a radio show and explained his support of Trump by...

Rougned Odor Still Isn't Sorry
In the immediate aftermath of delivering what is perhaps the most iconic punch in baseball history, Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor was not sorry about slugging Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista in the jaw.
