Vince McMahon was just waiting for the dust to clear

It is hard to miss that Monday Night Raw has been built around, in large part, Riddle and Austin Theory of late.

MLB, please don’t reinstate Trevor Bauer anytime soon [Updated]

The biggest snubs so far in first round of MLB All-Star voting

Yesterday, MLB released its first All-Star voting update after the polls first opened on June 3. However, phase one of All-Star voting does not finish until June 27.

A-Rod starts makeup for men product line, and we're all for it!

Maybe it’s the break-up, maybe it’s Maybelline. Look, we all handle heartbreak differently. Some of us change our hair color. Some of us go on soul-searching trips. I sob uncontrollably for a few hours while I re-download Tinder for the 30th time. For former MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez, launching ma...

If you’ve ever held a golf club (mini golf included) you know how frustrating the game can be. The pros usually make it look easy, but in the span of 10 minutes, we got to see a reflection of our hopeless selves on the screen....

Let’s take a moment to appreciate American women in sports of the 21st century

I will say it loudly and frequently – celebrate women in sports. They belong in sports. They belong wherever the hell they want to belong. Gender has zero bearing on knowledge about a topic.
