Just What The Hell Is Going On With Vincent D'Onofrio's Accent In This Pelé Movie?
Pelé—once an inspirational global icon as the widely recognized greatest soccer player of all time, now a smiling leathery husk dragged around the world for the enrichment of his handlers and the brands they license him to—has a movie coming out about his early life.

Hlompho Kekana Scores From Past Midfield To Give South Africa Lead

Burkina Faso hosts Uganda tomorrow at Ouagadougou’s Stade du 4 Août 1983, with qualification for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations on the line. For members and staff of Les Étalons, though, the match represents more than just the next step in the march toward Gabon....
Millions Of Xbox 360s Soon To Flood Craigslist As ESPN Ends Support
It wasn’t always the most reliable—especially over the last few months—but for myself and many, many other Xbox 360 users the aging console still holds an important role as a second screen source for watching ESPN content. That will come to an end next week, as the Worldwide Leader ends support for ...
Please Register To Vote, Whether Or Not You Think It Matters
This week in the presidential election cycle, the Republican field narrowed to a guy who does a bad thing with his lips, a guy scary enough that I no longer like joking about him, and a guy who digs Linkin Park. Even if these primaries have you surveying the scorched landscape and abandoning hope al...

Radio Announcer Ejected From College Basketball Game For Vigorous Gesturing
On Monday the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay knocked off Valparaiso 99-92 in overtime to advance to the final of the Horizon League tournament.

Jaromir Jagr Gave Up His 10 Cups Of Coffee Per Day For Lent
I am starting to think that Jaromir Jagr has an unhealthy relationship with caffeine. Long known as a militant Diet Coke drinker—at least five a day, “no vitamins, nothing”—Jagr this year switched to coffee, and upped his intake to what for a normal human would be a frightening quantity of the stuff...
Some Things That Probably Won't Kill You In Hong Kong
Certainly, street food in Hong Kong will kill you, and this I was prepared for, steering clear of the three-day chicken feet in spicy salmonella sauce. But there are other hazards. Ignorance, for one. I didn’t realize the Special Administrative Region that is Hong Kong is not only a high-rise jungle...
Marvin Harrison Is Sick Of Terrell Owens's "Bullshit" Whining About The Hall Of Fame
Terrell Owens is still talking about being snubbed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and he’s got a point. He should be a shoo-in, but the HOF election procedures are messed up, and there’s a wide receiver logjam at the top that’s going to make guys like Owens wait longer than they should. Owens sa...
Here Come The Rosters And Jerseys For The World Cup Of Hockey
The World Cup of Hockey, which will see eight national (sort of) teams face off in Toronto in September for a tournament that should be heavy on NHLers, excitement, and totally acceptable obnoxious jingoism. (Fuck you, Canada! Your exchange rates are currently unfavorable for you!)...
Rice Pitcher Blake Fox Is Sly
College baseball, as much as we love it, embraces some of the sport’s worst elements: repeated bunting and pickoff attempts. At least Rice pitcher Blake Fox has an interesting approach to the latter, as his fifth-inning attempt to pick off a Ragin’ Cajuns runner used a very unconventional and, dare ...

Tonight’s Bellator 150 middleweight fight between Kendall Grove and “Kiko” France ended with Grove knocking out his opponent. That part was exciting, though what came after might have been more frightening than thrilling....
