I Say, Old Chap ... Gooooaaaallll!
Low-grade World Cup fever is affecting billions of people around the globe right now, and it's only going to get worse in the run-up to next year's tournament in Brazil — a spectacle that might be one of the most chaotic and woefully under-planned FIFA events in history.

Cancer Sucks. RIP, Babe
When most of us think of Babe Ruth, if we think of him at all, we think of the booze-liking, pussy-loving, dinger-slamming manchild with the Mr. Incredible physique (massive upper body perched atop those incongruously skinny, even dainty little legs). But after all these years, and all the stories t...

Extra! Ali Throws Punch, Hurts Man!
When Muhammad Ali beat Sonny Liston in their May 1965 title-bout rematch in Lewiston, Maine, a legend was born. Or, more accurately, a legendary controversy was born.

Hey, the All-Star Game Is Finally Here! I Said, the All-Star Game Is Fi ... Oh, Forget It
No one who was playing professional baseball the year that I last watched an entire All-Star Game from start to finish is still playing today. Not one single player. Which is a fancy way of saying that I haven't watched an All-Star Game in decades. Now, I understand that literally hundreds of baseba...
