Seahawks Do That Goddamn Double Catch Again<em></em><em></em>

Yankees Fail To Win 41st American League Pennant; Astros Win First
The Houston Astros are headed to their second World Series after claiming the American League pennant for the first time, downing the Yankees in the ALCS’s deciding seventh game 4-0 thanks to five shutdown innings from starter Charlie Morton, some well-timed defense, and Lance McCullers Jr. shreddin...
At Least There's Kristaps
The Thunder look like they’ll be fun, and good. The Knicks are of course neither, but in last night’s 105-84 loss they were bad on a level that still managed to surprise. If you are a team with a hopeless season ahead of you but a small gaggle of bright young players, you might just invest in their ...
The Astros' Bats Continue To Lie Weirdly, Sadly Dormant
The Yankees are just one game from the World Series after tonight’s 5-0 win over the Astros—thanks to another strong starting pitching performance, sure, but also to Houston’s sudden and near-total impotence at the plate. ...
Carmelo Anthony's Son Told Him He Should Go To Oklahoma City
On the eve of the Thunder’s season opener against the Knicks tomorrow, Carmelo Anthony spoke to Marc Stein, now of the New York Times, about the process of switching conferences and leaving New York after six drama-filled and mostly pointless seasons. It has some good Phil Jackson burns that paint t...
Aaron Judge Is A Hero Again
Aaron Judge, the Yankees’ young superstar slugger and potential MVP, had been having a pretty worthless postseason at the plate. Despite his team’s success, Judge only notched one hit in the entire ALDS, and he’s been mostly anonymous against Houston, only coming out of his shell for a home run in G...

Jets Fan Who Stands For National Anthem Sits On American Flag
This man at Sunday’s Patriots-Jets game respects the United States and its national anthem so much that he turned the country’s flag into a picnic blanket. Reader Marshall spotted the patriot, who is better than all of us, at the Jets’ stadium....
Maybe Ben McAdoo's Play-Calling Was The Problem
Two things happened. First, the Giants did not look anything like themselves last night (for instance, they won). Second, head coach Ben McAdoo finally surrendered play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan. He did so quietly, with most of his players not even aware of the fact until...
The Jets Got Screwed Out Of A Touchdown
As the Jets were trying to make a comeback against the Patriots, it appeared that Austin Seferian-Jenkins had scored a hard-fought touchdown when he crossed the goal line with the ball to cut New York’s deficit.

Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie met with coach Ben McAdoo this morning in an attempt to smooth out has recently become a tempestuous relationship. Rodgers-Cromartie tossed his helmet after he was taken off the field during the team’s loss to the Chargers last weekend, and he later clar...
Didi Gregorius Keeps Getting Better
Corey Kluber was great against eight out of nine Yankees last night. To those eight hitters, over 3.2 innings, Kluber gave up one hit, and he struck out six. In the biggest game of the year, he was almost fine. The problem was, one guy was a big problem for Kluber: A 27-year-old shortstop from Amste...
