ESPN Has Lice
Here is an internal memo that was recently sent to ESPN employees:...

These Poor Crab Fishermen Had The Worst Super Bowl Experience
That damn slant route that cost the Seahawks the Super Bowl was hard for anyone to comprehend, but I can’t imagine any Seattle fans had a worse time watching it unfold than these crab fishermen:...

If Only Eury Perez Were A Little Bit Taller
This is ostensibly a highlight reel of the four home runs the Giants hit against the Braves last night. For my money, however, the real star of this show is Braves left fielder Eury Perez:...

22 Years Ago Today, Nolan Ryan Beat The Shit Out Of Robin Ventura
You charge the mound because you’re furious. Because you want to hurt someone. You know you’ll be ejected, fined, suspended, but it’s all worth it for brief taste of revenge. You never do it thinking that it all might go horribly wrong, and you might wind up on the receiving end of one of the most i...

Watch WWE's Salute To "Rowdy" Roddy Piper
Tonight’s WWE Raw opened, as it did just a few weeks ago for Dusty Rhodes, with the full company of superstars lined up to recognize a 10-bell salute to “Rowdy” Roddy Piper—followed by a career montage that touches on pretty much everything you could remember about “Hot Rod.”...

A New Danny Brown Song! (Finally!)
Rapper and evolving-hairstyle-with-a-tongue Danny Brown has had a relatively quiet 2015, but today, the Detroit emcee is back with a new track called “Worth It,” a collab with producer Clams Casino. It’s not like he’s been totally silent this year, but I’m glad to hear from the guy anyway....

The Greatest Boxer Alive Is Too Good For His Sport
Guillermo Rigondeaux—El Chacal, or The Jackal—is by far the greatest fighter in the world today. He may be the greatest fighter of the last 20 years. Unfortunately, he will soon lose for the first time, surely by knockout, and with his defeat will come sighs of relief and a lot of people saying, “I ...

Dez Bryant Trades Haymakers With Teammate At Training Camp
This training camp fight between Dez Bryant and Tyler Patmon is an ideal version of the form, I suppose. There’s a lot of bluster and some big punches thrown, but no actual damage done, so both parties get to walk away looking tough and cool....

Brad Keselowski Ran Over His Own Pit Crew
Things could barely have gone worse for Brad Keselowski today at Pocono as his 57th-lap stop turned into carnage, throwing bodies, a jack, and a wheel across the pit lane. ...

Watch Rickie Fowler's 70-Foot Putt At Robert Trent Jones Golf Course
Minus the cameraman’s terrible angle, this is a pretty sweet putt by reigning Players Championship winner Rickie Fowler on the fourth hole at the Quicken Loans National. At 70 feet, it’s still 41 feet off Craig Barlow’s PGA record, but it’ll do....

How To Make Perlo, The Deep South's Best Take On Chicken And Rice
Here’s the thing about South Carolina: if you drive far enough inland from the ocean, you will run out of fingers on which to count highway billboards threatening you with ultimatums like “Accept Jesus Or Burn In Hell.” Not a whole lot to recommend the place once you get out of earshot of the surf....

No Hops-Having Keeper Lets Pass Bounce Over His Head For An Own Goal
You had three options here, goalkeeper: 1) run out to the incoming back pass and meet it right after it bounces, 2) step back a few steps and take the ball off your chest after it took that towering though perfectly predictable skip off the turf, 3) loiter around in the box and find yourself standin...

Seth Rollins Helps Jon Stewart Present All His Fake Arby's Slogans
Longtime viewers of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart know that Arby’s is one of the program’s most frequent targets. Tonight’s program featured a supercut of Stewart’s fake endorsements, many of which were for that very fast food chain—and the whole segment features WWE champ Seth Rollins...for some ...

Tim Beckman, My Man, What Are You Even Saying?
Illinois head football coach Tim Beckman took the podium at Big 10 media days today, and the beginning of his speech was amazing. It was like watching one of Bill Brasky’s friends try to explain a complicated math problem....

Troy Tulowitzki Crushes Homer For First Hit As A Blue Jay
In his next two at-bats he hit doubles, and eventually came around and scored. A three-hit, three-RBI, three-run debut—with another at-bat to come—is just what the Blue Jays were hoping for when they traded for Tulowitzki. ...

How To Get A Cheap Motorcycle And Not Crash It
The problem is, most things are Good in inverse proportion to the degree to which they’re Fun. Broccoli is Good; Bacon is Fun. Taxes are Good; Casinos are Fun. Gyms are Good; Bars are Fun. You get the picture. But assuming, as I do, that all of us must live at least a little, few things are less Goo...


Someone At MLB Network Wants Someone Else To Fuck Himself
At the tail end of an MLB Network interview with newly inducted Hall-of-Famer John Smoltz, someone behind the scenes forgot that hot mics can pick up whispers:...
