Pacifist Joakim Noah Declines To Attend Knicks Event At West Point
The Knicks always start their training camp with a weeklong session at the U.S. Military Academy, and each year they close with a team dinner with cadets, including a speech by a current or former officer.

John Farrell To Sassy Fan: "Why Don't You Shut Your Ass Up?"
Last night’s game between the Red Sox and Yankees, the final game the two will play against each other this season, was fairly uneventful. David Ortiz got some cheers from the New York crowd, C.C. Sabathia pitched well, and John Farrell kept most of his stars off the field....
Aleksandar Mitrović Damn Near Kills Teammate In A Fit Of Ecstasy
Newcastle fought back from a 3-2 deficit against Norwich yesterday with two stoppage time goals to snatch a 4-3 win. Obviously, this had everyone super fuckin’ amped.

Beef! We've Got Yankees-Blue Jays Beef!
The Blue Jays appear comfortably in the playoffs, and the Yankees solidly out, so why not devote a late September divisional game almost entirely to beefing, and the settling of said beefs, and to setting up beefs to come?...

Matt Ryan Wanted No Part Of Making This Block
Here are two facts. The first is that the Falcons are rounding into form as an offensive juggernaut, their 45-32 shootout win over the Saints an almost ideal display of firepower that saw them score touchdowns on five consecutive drives. This was a balanced attack, with big nights from Devonte Freem...

Mets Broadcasters Break Down On Air While Remembering José Fernández
The Marlins are playing their first game since José Fernández died in a boating crash over the weekend, and it’s been an incredibly emotional affair.

After Eli Manning threw the Giants’ game away, it wasn’t going to be easy for the Jets to wrest away the New York tabloids’ back pages.

Marvelous 50-Yard Touchdown Run Becomes Touchback After Ball Comes Loose
Nebraska should have opened its game tonight against Northwestern with an early touchdown on a 50-yard Terrell Newby rush, if not for the Huskers running back losing control of the ball as he leapt toward the goal line. Unlike previous instances this season, where runners dropped the ball in celebra...
The Mets' Pitching Staff Is Dying
Noah Syndergaard was scheduled to start for the Mets tonight, until suddenly he wasn’t, due to strep throat. Innocent as the news of ordinary illness might seem, given that he’s been pitching with a bone spur in his elbow since June and the fact that this comes on the heels of other Mets’ pitcher in...
How The Hell Do The Patriots Do It?
Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels are rightly being universally praised for the game plan that resulted in last night’s complete ass whupping of the incompetent Texans.
