Pennsylvania Gov. Candidate: "I'm Going To Stomp All Over Your Face In Golf Spikes"

There are no circumstances under which you should feel bad for Chris Christie, but here’s the one that seems closest. Heading into the primary campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Christie had a brand that worked for him. He wasn’t a great or even terribly good governor of New J...

This Is Why The Penguins Kept Phil Kessel<em></em>

The Penguins finally showed some defensive fortitude last night, beating the Golden Knights 4-2 after giving up 11 goals in their first two games. But much more fun than Casey DeSmith’s 35 saves in his season debut were the first three Penguins goals, which came in natural hat trick form courtesy of...

The Jets And Predators Are Brawling

Predators-Jets is the best sort of rivalry: one born almost solely from the fact that both teams are very good and each stands in the other’s way of the Central title, the West, and, perhaps ultimately, a Cup. And even though we’re months and months away from what we all hope is a playoff rematch of...

Good Dog Throws A Mean Alley-Oop

Max Pearce is an extremely good dunker.

The website of Purchase College says Pearce has signed with the Harlem G...

When You’re Down 14 And Score A Touchdown, You Should Go For Two

Earlier this year, he was a genius. Doug Pederson took the Eagles to the Super Bowl and won it, dethroning the mighty Patriots. Now the Eagles are 2-3 to start the season and he’s being questioned. Just check this headline on NBC 10: “Doug Pederson to Blame for Many of Eagles’ Issues?” But there was...

"Hold On, Hazel! I Had To Pee!"

Cleveland manager Terry Francona was a little delayed in his mid-inning dugout interview during Saturday’s Game 2 against the Astros, as he timed his bathroom break poorly. That’s how the TBS backhaul caught him buttoning up his pants as he scrambled up to the top step....

Pete Carroll Gave Sean McVay A Second Chance To Make The Game-Winning Call

The Rams stayed undefeated and extended their lead in the NFC West with a close-run 33-31 road win over the Seahawks, and it all ultimately came down to a matter of inches and seconds. Facing fourth down and about the length of a football with 1:39 left, the Rams sent their punt unit out onto the fi...

Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez Sends Penalty To Infinity And Beyond

Report: Mike Pence's Gutless Political Stunt At A Colts Game Last Year Was Expensive

Report: Potential NBA Expansion To Seattle May Not Happen Until 2025 At The Earliest

The Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings played the NBA’s first game in Seattle since 2008, when the team was relocated and rebranded as the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Clay Travis, Whose Book Didn't Sell: Nobody Likes Me Or My Book

Right now, the red glow from Clay Travis’s ass is visible from 100 miles away. His book Republicans Buy Sneakers Too, a title that aged very poorly from when it was announced to when it was published, has also sold very poorly....

It's The Perfect Storm For Offenses In The NFL

The NFL is in the midst of a genuine offensive revolution. It’s also the latest phase of an evolution, given that teams have been passing more frequently and attacking defenses with additional receivers since the early part of this decade. But this year, something’s up. Way up. Scoring is off the ch...

Hernan Perez Went On A Gatorade Odyssey And Got The Wrong Guy Anyway

The vagaries of walk-offs and crowd dynamics meant that when Mike Moustakas singled in Christian Yelich to win Game 1 for Milwaukee, the dugout chased Moustakas, eventually settling in right-center field, where the Brewers jumped, slapped, and celebrated. One problem with that: It’s a long way to go...

Earlier today, Portugal’s national team manager, Fernando Santos, and the country’s soccer federation president, Fernando Gomes, competed to see who could be the biggest, most tone-deaf moron when they each offered their commentary on the rape allegation attached to Cristiano Ronaldo. Not content wi...

Let's All Get Irrationally Hyped For Elias Pettersson And The Canucks

The Canucks roasted the Flames on opening night, scoring the first three goals in a fairly easy 5-2 victory. Neither of these mostly irrelevant Canadian teams—the Canucks in particular, with their startling lack of experienced depth players—should do much to challenge the top squads in the West. But...
