The Giants Gave Up A Touchdown On Third And 33

May Andre Drummond's Recent Free Throw Success Never End
Andre Drummond, in his career, has been a hilariously bad free throw shooter.

Frederik Andersen Makes A Very Unlikely Glove Save
Look at alllll that net facing Noah Hanifin, and the unpreferable positioning of Frederik Andersen, on his pads, off-balance, and stuck near-side after making a save a split second before. Easy goal, right? Not if you know a little trick I like to call “reading the headline.”...
Eagles Fans Brawl With Washington Fans, Each Other

Red Sox Get Off John Farrell’s Rollercoaster Ride<em></em><em></em>
It was very evident that if the Red Sox bombed out of the ALDS—which they did, in wild fashion—that John Farrell was going to get the boot from Dave Dombrowski. The team confirmed this, announcing this morning that it had fired Farrell....

Here Is How To Turn Victory Into Defeat In 99 Yards
Miami U. has been the MAC’s punching bag for a decade, but the hapless RedHawks had a chance to beat a very bad BGSU team with a first-and-goal from the one and less than two minutes left in the game. Miami did not win, because they fumbled and allowed the Falcons’ Brandon Harris to take it the leng...
José Altuve Hitting Dingers Is The Best Baseball Has To Offer
At some point, José Altuve’s height should probably no longer be dwelled on, but seven years into his career, it’s still fun as hell to marvel at him being one of the best players in the baseball—and a good-as-hell candidate for the AL MVP—in tandem with his, uh, modest vertical dimensions....
José Altuve Went Dinger-Crazy
Tonight’s Game 1 of the ALDS very quickly revealed itself to be far from ideal for Boston starter Chris Sale.
