Dumbass Cat Wanders Around Everton Game Like He's People Or Something
Everton played something called Dag & Red FC this morning in the FA Cup, but more importantly, a cat invaded the game and tried to play soccer as if it was a human. Newsflash for you, my pal: no cats allowed....

Fred Smoot: The Sex Boat Wasn't Even That Cool
Former NFL cornerback Fred Smoot did a Reddit AMA today, and finally declared that he is tired of one of the funniest stories in sports history, the Minnesota Vikings Sex Boat scandal. Before getting to the questions, Smoot had a request:...

Dylan Larkin Turns Cory Schneider Into A Flounder

Petros Papadakis Hams It Up
The Challenge with Fred Roggin is a Southern California post-game institution—something like a localized George Michael’s Sports Machine on ketamine and offering prizes to viewers—so here’s co-host Petros Papadakis celebrating the end of the season with a pig. I can’t really explain this, and it get...

Dashaun Phillips Stretchered Off After Scary Head Injury
Washington cornerback Dashaun Phillips left the team’s game in Dallas against the Cowboys after going helmet to helmet with Darren McFadden on this hit. It was eerily similar to a play earlier in the game where Kyshoen Jarrett got shaken up. ...

Dexter Manley Says Black Quarterbacks Are More Mobile Because "They're Probably Used To Running From The Law"
Former Washington star defensive end Dexter Manley already got banned from one D.C. radio station for offensive comments, and he raised eyebrows again today on CBS station WUSA when he had some interesting thoughts on black quarterbacks. Specifically: that black quarterbacks like to run because they...

Enjoy The NFL, Jared Goff
Jared Goff came to Cal as a skinny freshman who had to fight for the starting job against Zach Kline, one of the highest-ranked recruits who’s ever taken his talents to Berkeley. Goff won the job, but not much else, as the Golden Bears struggled to a 1-11 season in 2013, with the lone victory agains...

You Could Probably Start For The Yankees, But Their Bullpen Is Absolutely Terrifying
The New York Yankees have acquired Aroldis Chapman, the hardest-throwing pitcher in baseball, from the Cincinnati Reds for a package of four mostly unheralded minor leaguers....

Kirk Cousins's Enormous Boner Wastes Scoring Opportunity
Kirk Cousins responded to a week of positive coverage, for once, by committing a huge blunder. His boner cost Washington a chance to get points; by inexplicably taking a knee with six seconds remaining, time ran out on the half—denying the Skins a shot at a quick touchdown and even the subsequent fi...

It's Time For The Mets' Garbage Owners To Go
The New York Mets went to the World Series last season and currently boast a young pitching staff that is not only one of the most talented in the game, but also one of the cheapest. And yet for the Mets, perhaps the game’s preeminent struggle-franchise, this is a big problem....

Soccer Teen's Dad Tries To Sabotage Son's Move To Liverpool By Hiding His Passport
Despite the old adage “father knows best,” there comes a time in every child’s life when they are old enough to make their own decisions.

LeSean McCoy Still Has Animosity For Washington, Dishes Out Some Pregame Burns
LeSean McCoy and the Bills are in Washington, where McCoy played a bunch when he was an Eagle. Even though McCoy is no longer in their division, he apparently still won’t pass up a chance to diss Skins fans....

Andre Drummond And Chris Paul Star In A Very Fun Basketball Play
There are two things that are wonderful about this play. The first, most obvious thing is Chris Paul getting napped by a behind-the-back dribble from Andre Drummond, of all people. The second thing is Drummond, who is a fun player precisely because he plays like a BattleMech that’s got a few bugs in...

Why The Clippers Give The Worst Postgame Interviews
We learned last night that the Clippers have a bit: the last player back to the locker room after the final buzzer has to dance for the rest of the team. How did we learn it? The game’s two heroes, forced to remain on the court for interviews, took off sprinting first chance they could....

Pete Rose To Remain Banned From Baseball
When Pete Rose got himself a meeting with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred a few months ago, it seemed like there was at least a chance Manfred might decide to reinstate Rose. Today, Manfred released a three-page(!) decision in which he makes it very clear that Rose will remain on the curb....

Blunder Reveals Washington NFL Team Runs Supposed Fan Account Supporting "Redskins" Name
While Washington was in a close game with Chicago, some suspicious tweeting went down. These two tweets, sent from two purportedly different organizations that have no affiliation with each other, look pretty similar. Given the exact similarities between the two tweets, this is almost certainly a co...

Herm Edwards Is Mad As Hell
Herm Edwards, a former NFL coach who will scream on TV if you pay him, screamed on today’s episode of NFL Live. The gang was talking about the beef between Bills running back LeSean McCoy and his former coach Chip Kelly. Greg Schiano(!) played the part of Chill Coach, while Edwards was Mad Coach. He...
