MLS Will Ride The USWNT's Coattails By Having Floats In Victory Parade
If the TV ratings for the USWNT’s obliteration of Japan in the 2015 Women’s World Cup final—it was the most-watched soccer game in U.S. history—stood for anything, it’s that Americans will support the sporting greatness of our own unreservedly. Unfortunately, the vultures in charge of the inferior s...
Clint Dempsey Has Something To Prove
The USMNT’s Gold Cup opener was their first competitive match since the World Cup, and in the broadest sense, it’s all about the next one. Jurgen Klinsmann has said repeatedly how 2015 is a year of “transition” for the roster—reloading, getting younger, starting up the position battles that will pla...

Children’s Ages, Ranked
I think it’s about time we started previewing some shitty NFL teams, no? That’s right: The WHY YOUR TEAM SUCKS series boots up again this month, which is good, because these teams are suckier than ever. If you wanna send in a rant about why your team sucks (emphasis on YOUR team … don’t send me some...
Jim Harbaugh, Colin Cowherd Combine For A Disastrous Interview
Jim Harbaugh called into drive-time ratfuck Colin Cowherd’s radio show this morning for an interview, and it was spectacularly awful. Cowherd was throwing every possible question at the Michigan football coach, and Harbaugh couldn’t generate any semblance of dialogue. Cowherd ended up cutting the in...
Luke Ridnour Has Now Been On Five NBA Teams In The Past Week
Luke Ridnour was traded three times in two days last week, but before he could start preparing for life in Oklahoma City, the guard was traded again today. Apologies to any Grizzlies, Hornets, or Thunder fans who bought Luke Ridnour jerseys....
Referee Botches End Of Title Bout; Timothy Bradley Takes WBO Belt
Referee Pat Russell stopped tonight’s Timothy Bradley-Jessie Vargas title fight before the final bell, believing the bout to be over and stripping Vargas of his chance to knock out a clearly dazed Bradley in the last seconds....
Luke Ridnour Was Probably Traded Again In The Time It Took To Write This
Before yesterday, I wouldn’t have known where Luke Ridnour played last season. My best guess would have been, “Is he still in Minnesota?” The guard was actually with the Magic, until he was traded to the Grizzlies Wednesday, but his journey didn’t end there. Ridnour got shipped around two more times...
Totally Agenda-less Sources: Tom Brady Is A Really Great Guy
In a 10-hour hearing at NFL headquarters yesterday, Tom Brady defended himself against accusations he was involved in Ballghazi and appealed his four-game suspension. If we are to believe ESPN’s sources, who certainly have no motivation other than disseminating god’s truth, Brady was so good, his su...
George Karl Apparently Wants DeMarcus Cousins Gone, Is Crazy
Last night, Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski dropped a bomb, reporting that Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl, who’s had his job for about 45 minutes, is doing everything he can to convince the rest of the organization that All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins needs to be traded away as soon as po...
Roger Goodell Has More To Lose Than Tom Brady
In just a few minutes, at the NFL office at 345 Park Avenue, Tom Brady will begin his appeal of his four-game suspension for his role in the Patriots’ ball-deflation scandal. And while drama and reality dictate that I say something like “he’ll be facing off against Roger Goodell,” that’s not technic...
FIFA's Savior Has Thrown His Hat Into The Ring, And His Name Is Maradona
With all the turmoil surrounding FIFA in recent months and the power vacuum soon to be created once Sepp Blatter finally relinquishes the reins on his Empire, soccer will need a smooth, steady, experienced set of hands to guide the sport out from the pits of controversy and back into the light. And ...
Colombia's Star Player Is Ramping Up The Shit Talk Ahead Of USWNT Game
Colombia aren’t afraid of anybody. They weren’t afraid of France (who they beat in the group stage), they weren’t afraid of England (who they lost to while still looking pretty damn good), and after making it to the Round of 16 and drawing one of the tournament’s favorites, they aren’t afraid of the...
Draymond Green Burns Cavaliers, Is Enjoying Himself At Warriors Rally
“Cavaliers? Nope. We won? Yupp. They suck? Yupp. We here? Yupp. They not? Nooope.” Draymond Green is in an especially, uh, blithe mood at today’s Golden State Warriors victory rally. Then he did this:...
Corey Crawford Tries, Fails To Avoid Saying "Fuck" At Blackhawks Rally
Despite pledging to keep his speech clean at today’s Blackhawks victory rally in light of his short and profane episode two years ago, Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford once again dropped a “fuck” in his statement to a gathered Soldier Field crowd....
Clippers Acquire Lance Stephenson For Matt Barnes And Spencer Hawes
As reported by everybody and confirmed by the Clippers, along with the Hornets they completed the rarest of things tonight: a consequential trade during the NBA Finals.

Cleancast: The Scourge Of Moths And Glitter
My guest this week on the official Ask a Clean Person podcast is Kate McKean, a vice president and agent at the Howard Morhaim Literary Agency. Kate, who often represents crafty types who want to turn their work into book projects, joined me to talk about two invasive species: moths and glitter....
Tom Brady Dances Like A 5-Year-Old When Migos Plays
The Patriots held their Super Bowl ring ceremony Sunday, which isn’t really the interesting part. After the presentation ended, Tom Brady and company danced the night away. Wiz Khalifa was also there, for some reason....
Holy Shit, Colombia Beat France!
The first upset of the Women’s World Cup happened this afternoon, and it was a very big one. Locked into a tight match with France all day, when the final whistle blew Colombia were on top 2-0.

Mike Francesa And Caller Have Wonderful Conversation About LeBron's Dick
Today, Mike Francesa and regular caller Mike in Montclair talked about LeBron cutting his head on a camera and, in a separate event, showing his dick.
