Kevin Durant Says Stephen A. Smith Is A Big Fat Liar

Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to saying wild shit on TV, but it’s always more fun when he tries to add some legitimacy to his takes with his insider credentials. He did this on Tuesday when relaying what “sources” had told him about Kevin Durant’s free-agency plans. Today, Durant called bullshit o...

Joey Galloway Ends Leonard Fournette Debate By Insulting Women Drivers

On today’s College Football Live, Trevor Matich and Joey Galloway were arguing about how LSU running back Leonard Fournette should preserve his health for the NFL Draft in two years. The debate concluded with Galloway remarking on the driving skills of women....

Bad Baseball Player Has Bad Thoughts About Foreign Players

San Diego Padres pitcher Bud Norris makes a cameo in this rather odd USA Today story about how racial tensions may or may not be a driving force behind bench-clearing brawls. Let’s just get right to Bud’s take:...

A Whole Bunch Of Browns Say TMZ's Johnny Manziel Story Was Made-Up

The big story in Brownsland yesterday was a TMZ report that cited three unnamed “offensive starters” calling for the team to switch back to Johnny Manziel at quarterback. As if that weren’t already a narrow pool of suspects, Browns starters have since raced to deny it was them—six players at latest ...

This Is The Worst Of The Bad Opinions On Bryce Harper, But Only So Far

This teaser tweet is insane enough:...

Sounds Like Some Browns Players Want Johnny Manziel Back

Despite winning his start and looking generally decent and genuinely exciting, Johnny Manziel was benched by the Browns the minute Josh McCown passed his concussion tests. After Cleveland’s loss to the Raiders, coach Mike Pettine bluntly said the team isn’t considering going back to Manziel. Judging...

ESPN Says Curt Schilling Will Be Back For The Playoffs. Let's See What He's Been Up To. [UPDATE]

ESPN baseball commentator Curt Schilling, who earned himself a fairly lengthy suspension for sharing a crazy-ass meme about Muslims and Nazis on his Facebook and Twitter pages, will be back in the booth studio for ESPN’s MLB playoffs broadcasts. So, does this mean Schilling has stopped putting insan...

Nation Demands Pro-Jonathan Papelbon Takes; Fox Sports Provides Them

The trouble with a story like yesterday’s Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon fight in the Nationals dugout is that it does not contain much—any—ambiguity. It is unambiguously wonderful, that oh-God-this-is-so-fucking-stupid kind of wonderful, and also Jonathan Papelbon unambiguously is a belligerent too...

Things Did Not End Well For This Daring Browns Fan

The photo above was taken by a reader who was tailgating at yesterday’s Browns game, in an area aptly named The Pit. We’ll let him tell you what happened next:...

Cam Newton: Ed Hochuli Said I Wasn't "Old Enough" To Get A Call

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton stirred up some drama during his postgame press conference yesterday, claiming that muscle-bound referee Ed Hochuli told him he wasn’t “old enough” to earn a personal foul call....

The Browns Are Such A Godforsaken Mess

Dwayne Bowe is a “healthy inactive” for Raiders-Browns this afternoon, meaning there isn’t really anything wrong with Bowe, beyond his fundamental inability to play football well, but the Browns are sitting him anyway. This is only one of several stupid moving parts in the stupid fakakta machine tha...

Another High School Football Player Targets A Referee

High school football is in desperate need of some chill right now. Just this month we’ve seen two Texas high school football players light up a referee who supposedly said racist things to them, another player from Texas shove an official, and a kid use his opponent’s helmet as a mace. Now, we have ...

Browns Send Johnny Manziel Back To The Bench, For Some Reason

The Browns coaches must fucking despise Johnny Manziel. ...

Things Are Already Tense Between Ndamukong Suh And The Dolphins

It usually takes a few bad losses to drive an NFL team to the point of undermining itself via anonymous pot shots in the press. The 1-1 Dolphins shouldn’t be at that juncture yet, but their Week 2 loss came at the hands of the Jaguars, which is basically like losing four games in one. It’s the kind ...

Did Chip Kelly Outsmart Himself?

The Eagles are 0-2, and although it’s certainly unfair to write off a team after two games, you wouldn’t blame Eagles fans for looking at Chip Kelly with eyebrows raised as high as they’ll go. Is this—a completely dysfunctional squad that can’t be bothered to beat a Cowboys team down Tony Romo and D...

ESPN's Matthew Berry Sells Credibility To DraftKings

You know how it’s barely Week 2 of the NFL season and you’re already sick and fucking tired of DraftKings commercials? Well, good luck, because ESPN fantasy writing is now just one long DraftKings commercial too....

Stephen A. Smith, Useful Idiot, Connects Weed To The Collapse Of Civilization

Stephen A. Smith, the painfully articulate, misogynistic, Floyd-fluffing TMT roadie, is still employed by ESPN, which means he showed up to work today to say fun, dumb shit very loudly to and with Skip Bayless on First Take. Today’s topic: drugs!...

Ta-Nehisi Coates Needs An Editor, Says Editor Who Edited Like One Blog Post In 18 Months

Earlier this week, Atlantic writer Ta-Nehisi Coates published an enormous study of mass incarceration and its impact on African-American families in America today.
