You Probably Won't See Ben Simmons Play This Season

The Philadelphia 76ers confirmed this afternoon that Ben Simmons’s foot injury was a Jones fracture. This was the most-feared scenario for the rookie, not only because the history of big men with foot problems is not full of happy endings, but because a Jones fracture in particular is a tricky injur...

Team USA flamed out in two games at the World Cup of Hockey, but one American hockey player did win last night: Phil Kessel.

Carson Wentz Sure Looks Legit

Carson Wentz won the second straight start of his professional career over the Bears tonight, 29-14.

Report: The Browns Fired A Bunch Of Scouts Who Liked Carson Wentz

I do not know what the future holds for the careers of Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, or the buttload of draft picks the Browns received from Philadelphia for the rights to Wentz.

A.J. Burnett Told Andrew McCutchen To Hit Two Homers, So He Did

The Pirates whacked a mess of dingers in their 15-2 win in Philadelphia, but none quite so on-demand as Andrew McCutchen’s. Former Pirate (and Phillie) A.J. Burnett visited the Bucs’ clubhouse before the game, and, like a dying child, he had a request for his favorite slugger....

Here's An Old "Haters Gonna Say It's Fake" Video From High School-Era Carson Wentz

This one’s pretty self-explanatory. Tipster Ed sent us this video of a young Carson Wentz and his friends fucking around and creating a proto-“Haters gonna say it’s fake” video of themselves throwing paper into the trash. It was uploaded in 2011. It made me laugh much more than I thought it would. T...

A local Philadelphia iteration of Skippy And Goatface’s Morning Sports Holocaust on 97.5 The Fanatic has an infamous caller: “Dwayne From Swedesboro.” Dwayne’s schtick is that he’s black, horny for white women, and runs into all sorts of paternity-test problems.
