Washington Has A Fake Quarterback Controversy On Its Hands
I'm mindful of playing into the silly-season stupidity here and making a big deal of this, because it's surely empty bluster: Robert Griffin III is not about to lose his starting job to Kirk Cousins. But the growing criticism of Griffin's quarterback play is most certainly a real thing, and some of ...
Red Sox Fan Dives Across His Row For Foul Ball, Doesn't Get It
This Red Sox fan just straight-up dove across half the people in his row trying to get a foul ball like he was a member of the secret service trying to take a bullet for the President. He landed on his wife (presumably) and another woman and small child in the adjoining seats. Look how pissed she ...

Pitcher's Wife Calls Will Middlebrooks "Butthole" For Breaking Up No-No
A day after losing Cy Young candidate Garrett Richards for the year to a freak knee injury, the Angels got an unexpected lift: rookie starter Matt Shoemaker stepped up with the game of his life.

Garrett Richards Collapses At First Base With Apparent Leg Injury
Angels ace Garrett Richards appeared to injure his left knee while trying to cover first base on a ground ball tonight at Fenway. It's hard to get a great view of what exactly happened because the play never actually made it back to first after Pujols fielding it and throwing to second. Erick Ayba...

Johnny Manziel Is Number One
Johnny Manziel's middle finger to the Washington sideline was funny. It was meaningless, and petty, but above all else, it was fun to see and share and talk about and hear Manziel and his coach be forced to explain. There's going to be a lot Manziel overkill this year, a lot of stupid controvers...

The Curse Of Ben Affleck's Birth Strikes Red Sox Again
By now, you may be tangentially aware that a Ben Affleck Birthday curse exists for the Boston Red Sox. It goes like this: since Good Will Hunting debuted in 1997, the Red Sox have never won a game on August 15th, Ben Affleck's birthday. Why Good Will Hunting? Probably because no one saw Chasing ...
Yoenis Cespedes Bashes Homer One Pitch After Nearly Getting Beaned
Cincinnati Reds reliever Jonathan Broxton started his matchup against Yoenis Cespedes in the eighth last night by whizzing a fastball up near his chin. Broxton ended up paying dearly for it....
David Ortiz Tracking Down A Pop Fly Could Take All Night
David Ortiz is a designated hitter who only really plays first base in interleague contests away from Fenway. Tonight, the Red Sox were in Cincinnati, which sports a decent amount of foul territory by first base. David Ortiz moved his legs, one in front of the other, at a higher rate of speed than...

As the two-minute warning approached in the first half of the Washington's preseason opener against the Patriots, Kenny Albert casually asked the Joe Theismann muppet with Dan Snyder's hand up its ass what it thought about the name controversy.
