The Athletic Can't Stop Humping Useless Butter Coffee

Paul Pierce Has Spent The Last Day Rotating Over The Flame Like A Rotisserie Chicken

How Many Seconds Of Denis Shapovalov's Rap Can You Tolerate?
Denis Shapovalov is a favorite around these parts. The 19-year-old plays a stirring, free-wheeling style of tennis thanks to weapons like his backhand, seen on display in Tuesday’s second-round upset of No. 10 seed Marin Cilic at Indian Wells. But rap is not one of those weapons....
Kyle Korver Attempts To Inbound Airball, Laughs At His Own Goof
It’s open season on any clown shooting higher than 41 percent from three.

Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United Is The Most Fun Club in England
Leeds United used to be one of the most famous soccer clubs in England. The Peacocks were the last winners of the English First Division, before it was renamed the Premier League, back in 1992, and their heated rivalries with Manchester United and Chelsea were the stuff of top-flight legend. ...

Audacious Clown Tries To Win Back $100 In Daily Fantasy Losses, By Going To Court Twice
On April 1, 2016, Colin Dew-Becker joined degenerates nationwide in a nightly ritual: blowing money on daily fantasy sports. He lost $100 on a wager, plus $9 in fees, in an NBA head-to-head contest on FanDuel. In point of fact, Dew-Becker was positively smoked, losing by a score of 221.1 points to 9...
Woody Harrelson Attends World Chess Championship Ceremony, Screws Everything Up
Actor Woody Harrelson was in London for today’s start of the World Chess Championship between grandmasters Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana. Harrelson thought he’d lighten up the tense 12-game match with a little joke during the first move ceremony—chess’s version of a first pitch or puck drop, ba...
NCAA Punishes Kentucky Soccer Players For Pick-Up Game With Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl and his classic rock band the Foo Fighters came to Lexington, Kentucky back in May, and boy did they get up to some trouble.

The Washington Wizards Are In A Bad Place Right Now
The Wizards are playing like a big pile of dog poop this season, and they delivered their most nauseating performance of the year tonight against the Sixers.

Has Donald Trump Ever Actually Met A Dog?
At a rally last night in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump claimed his opponent Hillary Clinton “cheated like a dog” at their last debate. It’s just the latest in a long string of canny canine similes used Trump, and one that makes us wonder if the GOP presidential candidate has ever, actually, met a dog....
Oregon Militia Idiots Run Free
Back in January, a more innocent time, a bunch of misguided, chili-scarfing jamokes decided that the ideal way to start the uprising against the political leaders who dictated federal land policy was to occupy the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which is an obscure bit of federal property out in s...
The Collected Wisdom Of Sex Aficionado Billy Bush
Donald Trump claiming that stardom affords him the right to “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything,” is certainly the wildest and lewdest thing caught on tape in a video published by the Washington Post this afternoon. ...
This Weird Camera Tracks What Makes Your Pet Happy
I’m not going to tell you that your dog doesn’t care about social media because his sense of animalistic wonder about the world is more compelling and pure than your obsession with likes and retweets. Let’s be honest—dogs are needy attention hounds who are shameless in their quest for constant atten...
President Obama Took Me To Church Today
My parents came of age in the ’60s and ’70s, and so they remember when blacks weren’t allowed to vote, and all the speeches and marches and blood that went into that fight, and all that came after. They did okay for themselves, got married, and moved out to the suburbs to do the whole American Dream...
Fire Don Lemon (Into The Sun)
Last night, CNN host Don Lemon succeeded in doing what he sets out to do every night, garnering attention for the news network that vastly overpays him to pose the question, “But what if this indefensible position isn’t wrong—or at least isn’t as wrong as you think?” He held up a Confederate flag, a...
Skip Bulletproof Coffee And Just Take The Drugs
Even if you haven't heard of the Bulletproof Diet, you've probably heard of the drink, a mixture of melted butter and black coffee that adherents have in place of breakfast. But while founder Dave Asprey claims his diet and exercise regimen raised his IQ (12 points? More than 20? Who cares!), reduce...
The Washington Redskins Don't Understand How Cyber Monday Works
It's Cyber Monday, which means that deals can be found all over the web for people more interested in shopping at their desk than doing work. The Redskins have a Cyber Monday deal today, too, but they don't quite understand how the "cyber" part is supposed to work....
