André 3000 Channels Hendrix, Finds Himself In <em>Jimi: All Is By My Side</em>
In the early 2000s, OutKast seemed poised for world-conquering superstardom. But flush with the success of 1998's Aquemini and 2000's Stankonia (and hit singles like "Rosa Parks" and "Ms. Jackson"), the Atlanta hip-hop duo of André 3000 and Big Boi fractured instead. When the double-solo-album...

Here's Every Edit ESPN Has Made To Its <em>OTL</em> Ray Rice-Ravens Report
We noted earlier today that Friday's bombshell Outside The Lines report included some odd, paraphrased quoting of supposed text messages to Ray Rice. That, alongside the wild—later retracted—claims about the Revel Casino providing a copy of the tape to the Ravens and NFL security led us to examine e...
ESPN Made A Very Weird Mistake In Its Big Ray Rice Story
On Friday, ESPN's Outside the Lines published a thoroughly reported and damning story about the Baltimore Ravens' handling of the Ray Rice case. Based on new information, though, it's apparent that one major part of the story was awkwardly mishandled, for reasons that aren't quite clear....
Nathaniel Clyne's Walloping 35-Yard Goal Put Southampton Up On Arsenal
This probably isn't news to most of you, but if you want to know why this site is named "Screamer," it's because of goals like this. Nathaniel Clyne belted this thing so hard the ball probably started screaming, and we were screaming while watching it fly in. Hence: Screamer....
Mighty Mite Football Players Thwarted By Banner
The parents of players of the Wallkill (NY) Mighty Mites tried to do something nice for the first home game of the season, but alas, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Athletics South Africa Begs, Pleads For Mercy

Manchester United's Luke Shaw Is The Next Gareth Bale, Even If He's Not
This summer, Manchester United bought left back Luke Shaw from Southampton for £30 million. Luke Shaw is 19 years old. If you're not familiar with soccer's transfer fees, that is a staggering amount of money for a teenager. It's more than the fee paid for Wayne Rooney, another English talent of grea...

Whether or not you know it, if you're a baseball fan, you probably appreciate or enjoy the game a little bit more because of Tom Tango.
