"Duck, Duck, Gray Duck" Isn't Just A Stupid Regionalism, It's A Better Game
A bunch of kids sit in a circle. One kid, who is “it,” walks the circumference, tapping the seated kids one by one, saying “duck, duck,” and then tapping a kid and saying something other than “duck,” and that kid has to chase and tag “it” before “it” makes it back around the circle to sit in the new...
Mighty Mouse Broke The UFC Title Defense Record With An Otherworldly Move
Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, the greatest of all time, got more of a fight last night from challenger Ray Borg than many expected. Borg is a gifted wrestler and he worked Mighty Mouse into a few tight spots at times. This is what passes for a close fight right now, since Johnson is a near-perf...
Statue Of Ray Lewis Gets Extra Security After Real-Life Ray Lewis Gets On Both Knees For Anthem, Says Dumb Things
Well, here are several layers of shit to sift through: the Maryland Stadium Authority has increased security around the Ray Lewis statue outside the Ravens’ arena, after fans filed a petition requesting it be removed because Lewis knelt during the national anthem on Sunday. Even though Lewis has rep...
Ray Lewis Says He Dropped To Two Knees During Anthem Because Of Jesus
Former NFL player and noted nonsense-talker Ray Lewis, who has previously been critical of Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality, linked arms with several Ravens players and went down to two knees before Sunday’s game in London. The act seemed li...
Chris Archer Says Teammates' Feedback Prevents Him From Protesting
Oakland A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell became the first MLB player to kneel for the national anthem over the weekend. Maxwell, whose father served in the Army, explained that his demonstration had nothing to do with disrespecting the military:...
Draymond Green On Kevin Durant's Twitter Behavior: "I Laughed In His Face"
Last summer, Draymond Green accidentally posted a photo of his penis to his Snapchat story. This summer, Kevin Durant was busted while seemingly attempting to use a burner account to argue with a Twitter troll, trashing his former coach and teammates in the process. ...
Nick Kyrgios Took A Beating
Given the prim tone of the sport, genuine trash-talking is an unlikely sight in tennis. When Alexander Zverev visibly uttered “fuck” while starting down his vanquished opponent, fans in the gallery may have dropped their champagne flutes and lost their monocles due to violent eye-popping. That was f...
Andy Murray Continues To Speak Up About Gender Equality In Tennis
In a piece published by the BBC today, Andy Murray, the gruff Scotsman and current world No. 3 who’s emerged as an outspoken feminist over the years, wrote that, “I have been asked about women’s equality and I would find it hard to look any of the top female tennis players in the eye if I did not sp...
Yet Another UFC Main Event Derailed By Last-Second Medical Issue
This weekend, Demetrious Johnson was supposed to fight Ray Borg and go for the all-time record for consecutive UFC title defenses. Johnson is one of the greats and as perfect of a fighter as you’ll see in the UFC today, and while Borg is “fine,” the flyweight belt is DJ’s and he was probably going ...
Ravens Send Ray Lewis Out To Make Kaepernick's Girlfriend The Scapegoat For Him Not Having NFL Job
Ray Lewis’s new role as an Inside The NFL analyst on Showtime saw the former Ravens linebacker immediately inserting himself into the story as he unraveled a bizarre and preposterous story that blamed a tweet by Colin Kaepernick’s girlfriend, Nessa Diab, for the former 49ers quarterback still being ...
Here's Adeiny Hechavarría Looking Smooth As Hell<em></em>
Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarría has nothing to offer but his defense—a career OPS of .627—but that defense can be really, really pretty. It definitely was in the first inning of tonight’s game against the Royals, as Hechavarría lept up to snare a Melky Cabrera liner before a quick toss to second t...
Nelson Cruz Crushed The Longest Dinger In Tropicana Field's History
Holy hell did Nelson Cruz get into this 0-1 meatball from Brad Boxburger of the Rays:...

Would You Be Interested In A Talk Show With Tom Brady And Jim Gray?
Tom Brady has slowly and carefully built up his own lifestyle brand in recent years, with his extravagant pajamas, rabbit food, and post-human, Russell Wilson-esque ad pitches delivered through the Patriots QB’s online presence. It appears that Brady might be dipping his toe into a half-hour web ser...
We Have A Blood Feud Between Chris Archer And Orbit
The slow-simmering beef between Rays starter Chris Archer and Astros mascot Orbit has spilled over into outright violence. If you are sensitive or a child or a sensitive child, please don’t watch this....
Sergio Romo Takes On New Role Of Following Lucas Duda
No offense to Curtis Granderson and his Mets teammates, who created an Instagram account that skillfully chronicled the exploits of Lucas Duda and who were devastated when the first baseman was traded to Tampa, but Rays reliever Sergio Romo is already doing a hell of a job with @wefollowlucasduda....
Upon Review, Evan Longoria Hit For The Cycle
In last night’s 6-4 Tampa win in Houston, Evan Longoria hit for the second cycle in the Rays’ history (following B.J. Upton’s in 2009). Had Longoria gone for his in those olden days, it wouldn’t have counted, as he’d have been called out going for the ninth-inning, two-out double that he needed to c...
Ray Lewis To Colin Kaepernick: "What You Do Off The Field, Don’t Let Too Many People Know"<em></em>
Every word that comes out of Ray Lewis’s sanctimonious, hypocritical mouth is ridiculous and impossible to take seriously. His flamboyant brand of humility and spotlight-seeking religious performance alone is enough to make him completely hatable, even if you take his having pleaded guilty to obstru...
Shannon Sharpe Dunks On Ray Lewis For Qualming Over Colin Kaepernick
This morning on Second Take, former Baltimore Ravens players Shannon Sharpe and Ray Lewis debated the Ravens wringing their hands over whether or not signing Colin Kaepernick would hurt their brand.
