Clint Frazier's Beautiful Red Locks Fall Victim To Yankees' Fascist Hair Policy
Clint Frazier, the prized outfield prospect the Yankees acquired when they traded Andrew Miller to Cleveland last year, has amazing hair. It’s long and red and voluminous and I honestly get kind of jealous just looking at it. Unfortunately for Frazier and those of us who appreciate a good mop, the Y...
Jimmy Garoppolo Posts Goodbye To Patriots On Instagram, Although He Might Have Been Hacked
In the wee hours of the morning, on the second day of free agency, Patriots backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo’s Instagram announced that he’d be leaving New England. Could it be true? Did the Pats actually pull the trigger and trade their future for a buttload of picks? Maybe not, because someone deleted it...
Of Course Tim Tebow Knows Where The Dang On-Deck Circle Is

Here Is A Thing That Happened In Tim Tebow's Spring Training Debut
At the start of the bottom of the third inning, New York Mets designated hitter Tim Tebow left the dugout to get some warm-up swings in before stepping into the box.

Piss Off, Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow isn’t a major-league ballplayer, and he isn’t a pro ballplayer in any but the barest, most literal sense. Certainly, if he weren’t famous for playing football and for not having been aborted, no one anywhere would pay him money to play baseball. Look at this shit!...
The NHL Should Retire No. 66 In Honor Of Josh Ho-Sang<em></em>
Josh Ho-Sang needed four games to earn his first NHL goal, but it was worth it. The 21-year-old scored with a hard slap shot in the Islanders’ 4-1 win over the Oilers Tuesday. He probably imagined Mario Lemieux’s face on the puck when he smacked that one....

DeMarcus Cousins To Rude Heckler: "Suck A Dick, Bitch"
DeMarcus Cousins’s tenure with the Pelicans hasn’t started off so well, as the birds have struggled against a tough schedule despite solid play from Boogie.

Deion Sanders Fondly Recalls That Time He Owned The Giants At The NFL Combine
Deion Sanders was picked fifth overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1989 NFL draft. Four of the first five picks ended up in the Hall Of Fame (word to Tony Mandarich), but even though it was a spectacular draft, there was no way Sanders was going to make it past the very top of the draft order. Dud...

MSG Went Silent For A Half, And Draymond Green Despised It
The Knicks tried something a little different for their game against the Warriors on Sunday afternoon. (They still lost, so some things remained comfortingly stable.)
