Marc-André ter Stegen's Silky-Smooth Assist To Luis Suárez Looked Effortless

It’s no secret that the greatest players in the world make whatever sport they’re best at seem ridiculously easy, but this assist from Barcelona keeper Marc-André ter Stegen—on his weak foot, no less—to striker Luis Suárez might be one of the smoothest plays seen on a pitch this season. It’s a pass ...

Tony Romo's Hobby Won't Interfere With His Job This Week

Tony Romo could have very well skipped out on his Sunday broadcasting gig at Vikings-Bears to play golf in Napa, Calif. on less than 48 hours notice without facing any consequences.

The Josh Jackson Saga Has Gotten Bleaker

Josh Jackson, drafted by the Suns with the fourth overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft and hailed as a do-everything wing, has not demonstrated a clear ability to do much of anything.

Brandon Graham Shows His Enemy's Face To His Mother, Who Surely Shall Taste Sweet Vengeance

Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham made one of the more impressive, albeit statistically unrecognized, plays to thwart the first of Green Bay’s two important fourth-quarter red-zone drives Thursday night.

Add Kyle Kuzma's Ominous Foot Injury To The Pile Of Crabmeat Accumulating Around The Lakers

The word “indefinitely” is one of the most ominous in sports, and never more so than when it’s being attached to news about a very tall guy’s foot. Theoretically it can mean “He could be fine any time now, we just don’t know how soon.” In practice, far more often than not it means “This man’s body h...

The Packers' Goal-To-Go Offense Was Too Cute To Work

Packers fans will be specifically frustrated by two themes from Thursday night’s narrow home loss to the Eagles: confusion over the pass interference review process, and Green Bay’s failure to convert on two late drives deep in the red zone, in a seven-point game. No one seems to know what the hell’...

This Guy Truly Has No Idea What He's Talking About

It is a problem for President Donald Trump that it’s often impossible to tell what the hell he’s talking about.

An MLB Playoffs Rooting Guide For Those Who Are Not Fools

Only an idiot looks at the Houston Astros and does not see the best team in baseball, and since we are neck-deep in idiocy these days, those who do not largely confine their predictive allegiances to either the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Yankees. This makes for both a crowded and tiresome World...

Mark Letestu Must Answer For His Crime Of Downing A Whole Mustard Packet On The Bench [Update]

I’m sure Mark Letestu figured that nobody was looking. It was preseason, for one, and he wasn’t even on the ice when the stoppage of play hit. So it’s fair to assume that he thought he could sneak just one disgusting mustard packet in without everyone thinking he was a creep. He was wrong. The camer...

“The game is fundamentally broken if the Warriors offense would improve by leaps and bounds if Draymond Green, a 69 percent free throw shooter, shot two free throws every possession and Stephen Curry never touched the ball.” A certain Kyle Wagner of the New York Daily News argues persuasively that t...
