The Winnipeg Kerfluffle Has Reached Dangerously Canadian Levels
This weekend and into this week, the Prairies were shaken to their very core by three hockey men saying they didn’t really like going to Winnipeg on road trips because it’s dark (it is dark), it’s cold (it is cold), and the hotel wi-fi is substandard (unresolved). The Jets mostly declined official c...
Sharks Players Make The Mistake Of Badmouthing City Of Winnipeg

<i>SI</i>'s Website Is So Bad Peter King Can't Even Tweet Proper Links To His Stories
Sports Illustrated’s website is a modern marvel, in that it seems to drive people away from the good work that’s squished between various modules and distractions.

PSG's Gorgeous One-Touch Move Was The Best Goal Of The Weekend
From the first forward pass a PSG player hits in this clip, the ball travels from the doorstep of the Parisian goal down the entire length of the pitch and into Rennes’s net in about 15 seconds. The move involves only 11 touches of the ball, six of which are either first-touch passes or a shot. It i...

The Coutinho-To-Barcelona Transfer Saga Is Back On, And Might Actually Happen This Time
This past summer was a great one for aficionados of melodramatic transfer window soap operas. The most passion-inflamed and drama-filled ones were the two Barcelona-based series, NeyWatch and One Life to Liverpool. NeyWatch, you probably remember, starred the impossibly hunky Neymar and detailed the...
Ref Takes Ball To Face
The pain of a swatted shot typically lies with the shooter alone. In the second quarter of tonight’s Thunder-Clippers game, though, this poor ref got saddled with all the agony (physical and emotional alike) of Jerami Grant’s block of an attempted layup by Jawun Evans:...
Serena Williams Will Not Play In The Australian Open

West Ham And Tottenham Trade Back-To-Back Bangers
Early-season basement dwellers West Ham showed some promise and held their own in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham today, but the point they won is mostly thanks to a bit of magic from Pedro Obiang.

Gael Monfils Thwacking This Poor Ball Is Deliciously Satisfying
Most of the time, the tennis ball needs to be struck up and over the net, only to fall back down to earth. Viewed from the side the ball’s path would describe a gentle arc, like a parenthesis tipped onto its back....

It Might Be Time To Blow Up The Seahawks
We have likely witnessed the end of an era for the Seahawks. Seattle missed the playoffs for the first time in six seasons, and the harsh realities of age, the cruel logic of the salary cap, and the inevitability of injuries all now threaten the makeup of one of the NFL’s most stable rosters. The pr...
Oh No! <i>Infinity War</i>'s Stupid-Ass Rob Dibble Thumb Looking-Ass Villain's Birth Name Is As Stupid As His Other Name, His Head, His Existence
It’s “Dione.” Which I guess is somehow a dumber name than “Thanos” because, uh, it’s traditionally the name of a goddess instead of a male god? I don’t know. He looks like a thumb with Rob Dibble’s face tattooed on it. Comic fans are not nearly embarrassed enough about this....
Christian Pulisic Rings In The New Year With A Powerful And Absolutely Legit Slam Dunk
Christian Pulisic—the wonderteen, the nation’s best and most favored soccer man, an elite athlete blessed with speed and agility and hops we don’t normally associate with slight, diminutive whiteboys—had himself a (mostly) great 2017. To commemorate his metaphorical ascent to the heights of the spor...

UCF Deserves A Shot, But At Whose Expense?
It was a day of statements, with Alabama emphatically proving they belonged in the playoff and Georgia delivering a classic 2OT win. But no statement was louder than Central Florida’s 34-27 win over No. 7 Auburn, and UCF’s players and coaches weren’t shy about making the subtext text....
Report: Packers Strip Ted Thompson Of GM Duties, Fire A Few Coaches
One day after falling to the Lions and locking up their first losing season since 2008, the Green Bay Packers will make several changes. Ted Thompson has been with the team since 1992—save for a four-year spell in Seattle—and he served as the team’s general manager from 2005 until today, when he was...
