Everton Rout Manchester City 4-0
Manchester City went to Goodison Park today and got drubbed, as Everton put four past Pep Guardiola’s side. It was the type of match that will embolden critics of Guardiola’s style, as City controlled 71 percent of the possession and had twice as many shots as Everton, but lacked a cutting edge. ...
The Stadium Squeeze: Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL

Reports: Diego Costa Dropped From Lineup, Told To Take His Ass To China

Dimitri Payet Doesn't Want To Play For West Ham Anymore
Last season was West Ham’s best since the founding of the Premier League, as they finished seventh and qualified for the Europa League.

Gordon Hayward And The Utah Jazz Are For Real
The Utah Jazz have been out on the fringes of the NBA for most of the decade. They haven’t made the playoffs since the lockout-shortened season of 2011-12 and the last time Utah had an all-star was Deron Williams in 2011. However, both short droughts are probably going to end this season, as the 24-...
Donald Trump Denies That He Hired Russian Hookers For Golden Shower Party

The claims include allegations that Trump rented out the same Moscow hotel room that the Obamas stayed in and hired a pair of p...
That Last Alabama Drive Was Terrifying
More than any other team in sports, Alabama football feels the most futile to root against. Over and over, they’ve stamped out nascent comebacks with two well-timed turnovers or turned a 14-10 game into a 28-10 game in two minutes of work. These are the sorts of ways you can win games when you’re bi...

Aaron Ramsey Golazo Draws Arsenal Even
Aaron Ramsey helped wake up a pathetic-looking Arsenal early in the second half of the Gunners’ FA Cup match at Preston North End with this rocket golazo from just outside the box that left keeper Chris Maxwell hopeless. Credit, too, to Alex Iwobi’s heroism in holding onto the ball despite defenders...
Harry Kane Doesn't Look Like A Great Player, And Yet He Is<em></em>
Just look at that face. If you showed a bunch of people who didn’t know any better a picture of Tottenham’s unassuming star forward Harry Kane and asked them to guess what he does for a living, I’m quite confident that “pro athlete” would rank way down the list, somewhere behind “accountant,” “hands...
Shea Weber Scores In Return To Nashville
It still feels strange to see Shea Weber in a Canadiens uniforms—he might’ve been the only player in franchise history to look right in Predators yellow—but at least the building and the crowd and the cheers were familiar. After 11 seasons there, Weber played his first game back in Nashville since a...
Murder Case Against Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka Dismissed
The murder case against former pro wrestler Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka has been dismissed, according to multiple reports.

Diego Costa And Eden Hazard Are Good As Hell Again
Remember this past summer, when Chelsea were reportedly sniffing around every big-name striker out there in an effort to find a replacement for the once-feared, maybe-fallen (and possibly fat?) Diego Costa, who just a couple season ago looked like a legit (and arguably literal) world-beater? And whe...

Premier League Ref Wants In On The Chinese Soccer Gravy Train
With all of the gargantuan contracts the Chinese Super League has handed out to star(ish) soccer players over the last year or so, it was only a matter of time before those on the sport’s periphery started batting their eyes eastward, hoping to secure some of those seemingly infinite riches for them...
