Let's Check In On Barry Bonds

One of the best and most welcome developments of the 2016 baseball season is Barry Bonds returning to the major leagues as a hitting coach with the Miami Marlins. Whether or not he’ll actually be any good, who knows—it’s equally easy to imagine him opening the third eye of all his charges or just ge...

A Child's Treasury Of Photos Of Nate Diaz Beating Conor McGregor's Ass

Conor McGregor is a blowhard troll who’s been terrorizing the top ranks of pro fighters lately, while Nate Diaz is a lovable dirtbag who’s lost more than he’s won over the last couple of years. McGregor says things like, “I’ve got world titles and multi millions of dollars, you got 20 thousand to sh...

Brewers Minor Leaguer Can't Stop His Ridiculous Laugh

We went over the best pictures from MLB Photo Day over here, but what Brewers prospect Brett Phillips did needs more than one frame....

The Best Of MLB Photo Day 2016

MLB Photo Day is the best source for photos of MLB players looking visibly uncomfortable. A small percentage of the players embrace the situation as best as they can, like Nick Swisher. Let’s look at some others....

How Crying Jordan Became A Thing

It might be the only good meme: Crying Jordan, a photo of a weepy Michael Jordan, seemingly custom-made for the internet to superimpose his face onto the head of anyone who just fucked up. It’s beautifully simple, it’s viscerally funny, and by this point a large amount of the humor comes from expect...

We'll Miss David Blatt's Blattfaces

Yesterday, Cleveland fired David Blatt, the grumpiest-looking head coach in the league, and moved on to Tyronn Lue. Tough break my man....

Gregg Popovich Loves Photos

While the Spurs were in New York for a Jan. 11 game against the Nets, coach Gregg Popovich apparently nabbed a ticket to Hamilton. Another audience member got the evidence by taking a photo with Popovich, who looked absolutely delighted in his beatnik sweater....

The Catch, The "Divine" Photo, And The Photographer Who Was Rooting For The Cowboys

Dwight Clark’s “The Catch” is one of the most famous plays in NFL history, and made for one of the most iconic photos ever taken by longtime Sports Illustrated photographer Walter Iooss Jr., one of the industry’s biggest names. Yet for all the immortality conferred in the back of Candlestick Park’s ...

Cam Newton Might Be The Most Photogenic Athlete In The World

This has nothing to do with the latest controversy over Cam Newton’s dancing, which I’m sick of and would rather not get into. (This guy’s got opinions, though.) Instead, it’s just an observation: no one takes better pictures than Cam Newton....

Greek Soccer League Game Postponed After Fan Riot

Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, the top two teams in the Greek Super League, were supposed to play today in Athens, but an outbreak of fan violence and flare throwing caused the postponement of the game. Here are some surreal photos from the stadium, which I swear are not from The Purge....

A Q&A With One Of The Best Sports Photographers To Ever Do It

The good people at Taschen have decided to show us more of sports photographer Neil Leifer’s work, and this is a very good thing. We’re in the thick of football season now, and I can think of no finer accompaniment than Leifer’s collection, Guts & Glory: The Golden Age of American Football, which tr...

The Story Behind Bob Beamon's Miracle Jump And The Only Photo That Mattered

The man who took one of the most famous photos in Olympic history wasn’t a professional photographer. Tony Duffy was on vacation at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and with nothing more than an amateur’s bravado, he casually wandered into the Athletes’ Village—which should have been off limits to ...

This Is A Great Football Photo

The low-angle shot from behind a team deep in its own end is quickly becoming my favorite football photo. Here’s one from yesterday’s Patriots win over the Cowboys, taken by Getty Images’ Christian Petersen, showing God’s and Pepsi’s mighty grace shining down upon Touchdown Tom Brady. (I think there...

Is This The Half-Naked Blue Jays Fan Who Attacked A Urinal? [UPDATE]

During a Sept. 18 Red Sox-Blue Jays game, a half-naked Toronto fan reportedly pulled a urinal off the bathroom wall on the 500 level of Rogers Centre, flooding an elevator shaft and causing a general nuisance. A few days later, a photo of a half-naked Blue Jays fan yanking at a urinal started making...

Photos: Jason Pierre-Paul's Right Hand 

The New York Daily News published some pretty clear photos of Jason Pierre-Paul’s right hand, which he badly damaged in a fireworks accident in July. To put it nicely, his hand resembles the head of Yoda’s cane. The Giants defensive end is missing a lot of his thumb and index finger, and his middle ...

This Is A Really Good Baseball Photo

I love this photo, taken by the AP’s Danny Moloshok during the fifth inning of last night’s game between the Rockies and Dodgers. That’s Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner taking a very hard slide into second while trying to break up a double play, sending Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado high i...

What Does It Take To Get Photographers Into Sports Halls Of Fame?

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is the most idiosyncratic of the major sports halls of fame, in part because its mission is to celebrate the game of basketball in its many incarnations, as opposed to just the NBA. That independent spirit is readily apparent this weekend, when Springfie...

The photographer who captured Brett Favre’s famous jorts photo shares his story. ...

The View From The Top Of The Astros' Stadium Is Really Something

Instagram user @HoustonHeroe’s schtick seems to be climbing up really tall buildings in Houston and then taking pictures from high-up vantage points. That’s pretty dangerous, but I suppose I can get down with it. ...

Scenes From The USWNT's Victory Parade

Earlier today, the world champion U.S. women’s national soccer team was fêted with a ticker-tape parade up Broadway and presented with the keys to the city in a ceremony at City Hall. It was the 206th parade up the “Canyon of Heroes” in New York’s history (full list here), and the crowd might’ve ske...
