Sometimes The Last, Most Meaningless Moments Are Baseball's Best

Matt Barkley's Interception Was A Perfectly Bills Way To Lose
The question surrounding the end of Patriots-Bills wasn’t so much a matter of how Buffalo was going to use its final drive to complete the shocking upset at home, but rather how spectacularly the team would fuck things up. Even after Tom Brady and the rest of the New England squad tried time after t...

We Have A Wet Bag Problem, And We're Going To Look Into It
There is nothing funny about lower-body injuries in baseball.

Not For The First Time, Aaron Judge Leaves Starstruck Children Weeping
“Psh,” you say. “Athletes regularly leave their fans in tears. This isn’t news! Move on, find a new slant.” That is true. Please don’t remind me of Brandon Inge’s ‘09 Home Run Derby outing. What we’ve got here, though, is a case of the happy tears. The medical way of explaining this is that children...

Stop Calling It "Gaslighting"
“Lie” is a great word. It’s a short, to-the-point noun with a universally agreed upon meaning that we all learn before we even enter kindergarten. Call someone a liar, and any English-speaker in the world will require no clarification—they’ll know that someone isn’t telling the truth....

Dennis Smith Jr. May Have Fultzed His Shooting Form
Here’s Dennis Smith Jr. taking some free throws which bear the troubling artistic influence of Markelle Fultz.

Tom Brady Rambles Incomprehensibly About Society When Asked About Antonio Brown
The New England Patriots cut wide receiver Antonio Brown on Friday, but nobody on the team will say why.

Daniel Jones, King Of New York, Leads Giants To First Win Of Season
The Giants were not only losing 28-10 to the Buccaneers at the half on Sunday afternoon, but they were also missing their best offensive player in Saquon Barkley.

The Giants didn’t have a hot start against the Bucs in Daniel Jones’s debut, going down 28-10 at halftime thanks in part to three touchdown catches from Tampa Bay wideout Mike Evans.
