Julio Jones may have just been ambushed with questions about his possible trade without knowing he was live on television.

April Fools, these fake sports tweets probably got you too
We all want to be first. First in line for whatever you’re buying, first to discover new talent, first to see that blockbuster hit. In the media, we also want to be first to a story. You probably do too. That might be why you’re on Twitter — to follow the “Woj Bombs” or Schefter’s BREAKING news. But...

No one seems to care that Kevin Durant is a homophobe
I made jokes about it yesterday, and that’s really all the effort I was prepared to give it.

Baseball’s winter of cost-savings discontent begins as cheapskate Cards cut Wong
It used to be the hot stove, and fans used to get excited about it right after the last out of the World Series.

Die In A Fire, Skip Bayless
The thing is, I know I’m giving Skip Bayless exactly what he wants by writing this. By even considering writing it. Bayless doesn’t exist to be right or wrong. He’s just there to emit. He’s a smokestack. That’s all. Bayless has made his career by making everything an argument. It doesn’t matter if i...

Andrew Yang Wants You To Know He Can Score Inside
Andrew Yang has a dream. “I’d challenge Donald Trump to any physical or mental feat under the sun. I mean, gosh, what could that guy beat me at, being a slob?” the presidential candidate wondered last month. His eventual conclusion: “Something that involved, like, trying to keep something on the gro...

Please Enjoy This Brief Video Of Devin Booker Being A Pickup Weenie
In general, it’s fine to have informal house rules in a pickup basketball game. “Guard your man” is a good one, for example: Few things are more annoying or more ruinous to the flow of play than the lazy sack of crap who sags 20 feet off his man, substituting the aggregate strategic soundness of let...

What It Was Like To Be Covered By Champ Bailey
I was playing in NFL Europe in the spring of 2004, eating schnitzel in Düsseldorf for the Rhein Fire, when I learned that we had traded for Champ Bailey.

Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence Gets Decidedly Unchill During Intramural Basketball Game
The effort-to-reward ratio for intramural sports is woefully off and will always be this way.

In a recent intramural hoops game, one player managed t...
