Goodbye, Andy Murray
Andy Murray’s hip came the closest any tennis injury ever could to provoking a national crisis: The top British sportsman (and defending Wimbledon champion) was still hurt on the cusp of the country’s most storied sporting event.

Lightning Take The Cowards' Way Out On Tampa Confederate Monument
There are two schools of thought on asking sports teams to weigh in on political issues. On the one hand, who cares: They’re just sports teams.

Andy Murray Survives Fabio Fognini, The Sleepy Pirate
What is there to know about Fabio Fognini? He is the languid, deviant pirate of tennis. With a skull headband wrapped around his dome, he does a stout little swagger around the court.

Rockies Pitcher Jon Gray Smashes 467-Foot Dinger

Dustin Brown Is The Wackiest Motherfucker In Tennis
The overhead is one of the most straightforward shots in tennis, so straightforward it follows a script. You are standing not too far from the net. A ball is falling down to the court from way up above. Your job is to meet it with your racket over your head, and hard. The only real choice left to yo...

Draymond Green Finally Gets T-Shirt Revenge On LeBron, Gets Owned Anyway [Update]
The last time the Warriors won a title (the year before they blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals), Draymond Green got tipsy at the team’s victory parade in Oakland. He mocked the Cleveland Cavaliers by rapping “Cavaliers? Nope. We won? Yupp. They suck? Yupp. We here? Yupp. They not? Nooope.”...
