The Cubs Are Good At Karaoke Too
The Cubs are good at baseball. Real damn good. They lost a narrow one to the Pirates yesterday but they’re still 27-9.

Why Are Bad Laws Still Protecting Penn State And Temple?

Amateur Soccer Guy Robbed Of Long-Range Goal By Apparently Blind Ref
About midway through what was probably going to be a long and elaborate goal celebration in honor of the blast Squires Gate’s (no, not a turn-of-the-century action/adventure RPG; a club in England’s ninth division) No. 8 just uncorked from the center circle, the ecstatic players in red turn horrifie...
J.T. Realmuto Got A Dinger Called Off For Passing Marcell Ozuna On The Basepath
The Miami Marlins are just cooling off after an unholy hot streak where they won 11 of 12 and hit some bombastic dongers.

Justin Bieber Is Still Trying To Convince Us He Can Ball

And yet, here is, playing himself once again:...
What's Your Favorite Play From The Sixers' Official T.J. McConnell Highlight Reel?
The Philadelphia Sixers invite you to enjoy the “scrap, hustle, drives, step-backs, and spirit” that define T.J. McConnell, a rookie point guard who averaged six points and 4.5 assists in 19 minutes per game this season, and starred in the grimmest of all 76er anecdotes....

Tyler Collins Flips The Bird To Tigers Fans For Booing Him After He Lost A Fly Ball
The Tigers are comfortably ahead of the Oakland A’s this evening in Detroit thanks to Miguel Cabrera knocking in a pair of dingers off Kendall Graveman.

Jeff Teague Saved The Hawks, Only To Murder Them
In their overtime loss to the Celtics last night, just about every member of the Atlanta Hawks besides Paul Millsap played like dogshit. One of the chief offenders was point guard Jeff Teague, who shot a dismal 4-18, and had just five assists to three turnovers. He missed almost every shot as the ga...

Let's Watch Prince's Super Bowl Halftime Show, The Best We've Ever Seen
Super Bowl halftime shows are almost always worthless. A few pop stars who capture the current pop-music mood lip sync their hits, and two days later we barely remember the game, let alone the uninspired halftime show....
The Blue Jays Lost In The Saddest Way
Sometimes, your team really bones it and gives up a walk-off home run. Or maybe they lose after a new MLB rule bites them in the ass. Both of those scenarios suck, but neither is outright embarrassing. The Blue Jays’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles in extras tonight, however, ended in sad, humiliating fashi...
That Terrible Celtics-Hawks Game, In One Play
The Hawks just took a 2-0 lead in their first round series with the Boston Celtics after a prehistoric, listless game.
