Ezekiel Elliott Is Re-Resuspended

Goalkeeper Gets Red Card For Taking A Piss In The Middle Of Match
Not many were sure why, but in the 86th minute of this weekend’s Salford City-Bradford Park Avenue match in England’s sixth-tier league, Salford keeper Max Crocombe was sent off for something that happened away from the action on the field.

Urban Meyer’s day started badly as he watched his Buckeyes kick off to Heisman favorite Saquon Barkley, then watched the Penn State superstar take that kickoff 97 yards to put the Nittany Lions up 7-0 just a few seconds into the game. It’s the earliest Gusgasm we’ve ever seen....

Tennis Player Chastised By Umpire After He Won Point Without Even Trying
Down 5-1 in the last set to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and returning serve, hope was more or less lost for Damir Dzumhur in today’s second-round Vienna Open match.

He was reportedly looking for an NBA comeback, and i...

In the first quarter of tonight’s game against the Jazz, Blake Griffin offered up a dunk over Rudy Gobert that cannot really be fairly described as posterizing, simply because it was intense enough that it would really be kind of cruel to capture and preserve—you’d hang the poster up and everyone wo...
The NHL Didn't Want You To See The Best Game Of The Night
The NHL clearly knew that they had a great game on their hands tonight, with two of its three biggest stars—Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby—going toe to toe in Pittsburgh. They even promoted it like a must-watch event!...

What Is The Athletic's Plan Beyond Exterminating Newspapers?
If you aren’t a reader of The Athletic, a subscription-based and regionally focused conglomeration of sports sites, then you’ve probably at least heard of them after they went on a massive hiring spree and loaded up on writers who fell victim to layoffs that swept through the industry. They’ve grown...
Your Modesty Will Never Protect You, No Matter What Mayim Bialik Says<em></em>
The Jewish laws of feminine modesty were the topic of a lot of conversations at the all-girls Orthodox yeshiva high school I attended in Brooklyn. We were required to wear uniforms to school—long, dark pleated skirts and long-sleeved white blouses—and were expected to dress according to similar stan...
