Hear Me Out: Trump Speech Karaoke
I came within a bladed edge of red death when I went out for karaoke one night last winter, but I do not hold that against karaoke.

Bryce Harper Can Still Throw The Dick Off A Damn Baseball
Bryce Harper’s hitting still mostly hasn’t come around.

Idiot Portsmouth Fan Arrested For Hitting Sunderland Player Who Fell Into The Stands
In the lower levels of English soccer, fans often are nasty, brutish, and short-tempered. We saw evidence of this in March when an idiot stormed the field mid-game to sucker-punch a player, and we saw even more yesterday, when a Portsmouth fan punched and kicked Sunderland’s Luke O’Nien after the pl...
The Mastermind Behind The College Admissions Scandal Used To Be A Crazy Middle School Basketball Coach

Jessica Andrade's Neck Slam KO Was Legal, But That Doesn't Make It Any Easier To Watch
