Hunter Pence's Dance Moves Are Somehow Less Awkward Than His Batting Stance<em></em>
San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence transformed into an eerily accurate Napoleon Dynamite for Halloween, with his fiancée Alexis Cozombolidis dressing up as his sidekick, Pedro. Pence’s costume was one of the better athlete costumes this year, up there with Paul Pierce sitting on the bench ...
White Sox Didn't Want Giant Downward Arrow On Their Stadium; Corporate Sponsor Said "Too Bad"
When the White Sox announced a new, 13-year naming rights deal for their stadium (which you can continue to call whatever you’d like), the jokes were plentiful and justified: The name is awkward and bland, and could they really not do better than a medium-sized mortgage lender? But judgment was larg...
Rick James Is On the Bench For The Clippers
Paul Pierce is out tonight with an ankle injury, so he dressed up as Rick James on the bench. Pierce is one of the most zealous NBA Halloween enthusiasts, and his frog costume is probably his best work. Clips owner Steve Ballmer was thrilled to meet a funk celebrity....
Thou Shalt Not Steal: Tim Tebow Injured Trying To Take Second
Tim Tebow performed a great feat today, reaching base twice against the Peoria Javelinas. He hit a single in his first at-bat, and he now somehow has a three-game hitting streak. Tebow reached on a fielder’s choice in the fourth, then tried to steal second. ...

LeBron Roasted The Warriors At His Halloween Party With Some Extremely Rude Cookies
LeBron James, omnipotent shot blocker and NBA champion, loves Halloween. He had a bunch of his Cavs teammates over this weekend, and they all committed to full-on costumes (especially Iman Shumpert). James also used the occasion to stomp all over the Warriors once again in true Halloween spirit. A C...

Darrelle Revis Is Still Getting Roasted
The Jets won yesterday, beating the Browns, which, okay. That makes two in a row for New York, which has slightly eased the suffering caused by a particularly disastrous four-game losing streak that triggered the brief return of Geno Smith. Still, you wouldn’t exactly call the victory over the Brown...
The Cowboys Still Won't Commit To Dak Prescott
Rookie QB Dak Prescott has a seven-game track record that should be more than enough to secure him the starting job. Yet the Cowboys are still taking things week by week, refusing to make the choice until there actually is a choice. Prescott will be the starter next week against the Browns, owner Je...

Cleveland Browns fans—still waiting to see their first win of the season—are offering a new sort of performatively empathetic support this week, because why cheer for the team when you can exemplify its sorry state yourself?...

How To Make Ginger Pumpkin Crumble And Kill Your Loved Ones With Butter
This week’s episode of Foodspin takes us to historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Burneko and I sampled Civil War-era game pie and pumpkin fritters. I am going to assume these were pro-Union dishes, and therefore NOT racist food. I assume this even though you can buy a SHITLOAD of Confederate sou...
Can You Top This Halloween Costume?
There’s an obvious bias here, but reader Chris B. has sent us the best Halloween costume we’ve seen this year. He included a video of the “video”:...
I Think Kevin Durant Might Already Be Losing It
It goes against nearly all of my instincts as a sports fan and writer to buy into narrative concepts such as heroes and villains. An athlete who ditches his team for a better situation is not suddenly a bad guy just because some Twitter users and columnists decide he is, and public opinion doesn’t r...
Pitt Runs Tackle-Around For Fat Guy Touchdown
Pitt tied up Virginia Tech tonight with another touchdown by offensive tackle Brian O’Neill. The 300-pounder took a backward pass to the end zone earlier this year against Georgia Tech, and tonight took a forward handoff—we called this the Revolving Door Play back where I come from—for a five-yard t...
