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.

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

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.

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.

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.
