Jets Linebacker Calls Out Breitbart Chud For Twisting His Words

John Lackey Got Wild On The Basepaths
Cubs pitcher John Lackey is 38 years old and, going into last night’s game against the Reds, had never stolen a base. That changed in the bottom of the fourth inning, when Lackey hit a two-out single and then, somehow, stole second....
Bucs GM Admits Taking A Kicker In The Second Round Was Pretty Dumb
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released 2016 second-round draft pick Roberto Aguayo over the weekend.

Idiots Hold Idiot Summit
This week, the public was treated to a rendition of one of Aesop’s lesser-known fables, The Troll, the Moron, and the Stooge. There was no real moral, just a reminder that a sizable portion of the internet consists of opportunists tugging on their own nuts and screeching when they feel they haven’t ...
Kenan Thompson's LaVar Ball Impression Is Pretty Good

England's Worst, Most Snooze-Worthy Teams: Our 2017-18 Premier League Preview, Pt. 1
Some watch the Premier League for the artistry and high-level play that only megastars like Alexis Sánchez and Eden Hazard can provide. Others watch for the drama of stressed-out, egomaniacal coaches yelling at everyone—at each other, at the referees, at God, at the sport itself, at their players, a...
The Browns Really Want You To Buy This Whole Brock Osweiler Thing
Please remember that the only reason Brock Osweiler is currently on the Browns’ roster is because the Texans were so desperate to be rid of him that they gave Cleveland a second-round pick for absorbing Osweiler’s $16 million salary this season. Also remember that Browns GM Sashi Brown was most exci...
Upon Review, Evan Longoria Hit For The Cycle
In last night’s 6-4 Tampa win in Houston, Evan Longoria hit for the second cycle in the Rays’ history (following B.J. Upton’s in 2009). Had Longoria gone for his in those olden days, it wouldn’t have counted, as he’d have been called out going for the ninth-inning, two-out double that he needed to c...
Here Come The Cubs, Ready To Murder The Brewers
Fresh off being tagged by a record-tying number of dingers Thursday against the Nationals, the Milwaukee Brewers—losers in nine of their last 11 games—return home hoping to avoid a serious ass-kicking at the hands of the red-hot Chicago Cubs, who come into town leading the division for the first tim...

Jon Lester Got Absolutely Shelled By The Pirates This Afternoon
It was a rough first inning for the Cubs’ Jon Lester today. He took the mound at 1:10 p.m. and promptly gave up a leadoff single to Pittsburgh’s Josh Harrison. A groundout and a walk put runners on first and second with one out and David Freese at the plate. This is precisely when it all went to shi...
