Dele Alli Can Do Whatever The Hell He Wants
The first goal in Tottenham Hotspur’s (sorely necessary) rout of Swansea City this weekend was scored by Harry Kane—a penalty kick awarded in the 39th minute, after Dele Alli went down in the box under a challenge from Kyle Naughton. It was, as even the most loyal Spurs supporter can admit, a dive....
Packers Fan's Drunken Odyssey Ends After He Bungles Daring Truck Stop Escape
Wintertime in Wisconsin is a harsh season for all, including drunken criminals whose schemes may end up foiled by the unforgiving climate. Nathan Tyler Meleski knows the pain....
Rich Hill Finally Got Paid
Rich Hill will be returning to L.A. in 2017 after signing a three-year, $48 million contract with the Dodgers on the first day of the Winter Meetings. Amidst a weak free agent class, Hill’s 2.12 ERA in just over 110 innings split between Oakland and L.A. last season made him one of the shiniest piec...
Falcons Lose After Blowing Lead On Point-After "Pick-Two"
After trailing the Chiefs for most of the second half, the Falcons finally took a 28-27 lead on a touchdown with less than five minutes left in the game. Atlanta chose to go for a bigger cushion by trying a two-point conversion. That turned out to be disastrous, as Kansas City’s Eric Berry interce...
Look At This Great One-Handed Cricket Catch
Today’s cricket match between Australia and New Zealand was a big win for the Aussies, letting them keep their number one spot in the one-day international rankings. It also included this completely sick one-handed diving catch from Australia team captain Steve Smith:...
Richard Sherman Drops Delayed Burn On Cam Newton
Richard Sherman is not one to easily suffer slights. Last year after the Panthers beat the Seahawks in the playoffs, Cam Newton was running a circuit around the Panthers’ stadium for his customary parade of high-fives, when he grabbed a “12th man” flag, crumpled it up, and tossed it....
ESPN: Richie Incognito Is An Iroquois War God
Richie Incognito, the big Buffalo Bills guard whose name you most likely recognize for its association with him being about as awful as a person can be, is still the same guy he’s always been. He’s the guy who called former teammate Jonathan Martin a “half-nigger piece of shit”; who settled a civil ...
Keeper Scores Amazing, Last-Second Bicycle Kick, Caps It With Even Better Celebration
Goalkeeper goals are always special for the simple fact that it’s always great when a goalkeeper scores. But Baroka FC keeper Oscarine Masuluke’s stoppage-time equalizer that he knocked in with a crazy overhead kick, coupled with his crotch-grabbing celebration, deserves a spot in the goalie goal ha...
Hot Fucking Stove: Don't Touch The Stove It's Extremely Hot
Good news, friends: The Thanksgiving holiday brought us not just a bounty of meats, side dishes, and familial bonding, but also mildly interesting baseball transactions that could have anywhere from no to some impact on the upcoming season of “America’s pastime.”...
Mark Helfrich Fired By Oregon, Which Makes Sense
As a rule, Oregon doesn’t fire coaches. The last time they fired one was in 1976, instead choosing to promote from within. That’s a perfectly noble system to adhere to if you’re the sort of school that’s accepted lower expectations or manages to find a flawless in-house successor for every coach and...
Eric Dickerson To Resume Attending Rams Games Next Season
Jeff Fisher—coach of the 4-7 Rams, losers of six of seven and owners of the least productive offense in football—is currently embroiled in a feud with Eric Dickerson, who starred for the Rams the last time they were (good) in Los Angeles. The beef stems from Fisher reportedly banning Dickerson from ...
Rams Legend Eric Dickerson Says Team Banned Him From Sidelines Over Criticism
Eric Dickerson is one of the most iconic players in Los Angeles Rams franchise history. He set the single-season record for rushing yards (which still stands) in 1984 and led the NFL in rushing three times in his four full seasons with the team. Dickerson advocated for the Rams to move back to Calif...
Down Goes Miss Arizona
Brandon Dawkins must have gotten hurt on the play; it took him an awful long time to get up....
Cincinnati Salvages Season With Trick Play
Cincinnati’s going to finish this season with a losing record, but the Bearcats aren’t total losers after pulling off this trick play against Tulsa for a touchdown. Maybe if they’d shown this kind of creativity earlier in the season, they wouldn’t... have a losing record....
The USMNT Should Not Be Coached By An American
The ambitious, erratic, controversial, variously thrilling and maddening tenure of Jurgen Klinsmann as USMNT manager is over, and no one can seriously argue that he didn’t earn his firing. Now we must look ahead, and wherever the U.S. goes from here, the destination needs to look more like where Kli...
Mark Cuban And Chandler Parsons Were Boys For Life Until Shit Got Hella Twisted<em></em>
ESPN’s Tim MacMahon has a fascinating story about Chandler Parsons and Mark Cuban up today. The story is essentially a timeline of all the behind-the-scenes events that led to Parsons leaving the Mavericks for Memphis this offseason, but what it is really about is the death of a bromance....
What Not To Do
“The Left,” to the extent such a thing exists in America, seems extremely energized by Donald Trump’s victory. They/ we are ready to fight back! What’s the plan? How about... more of the same?...
Very Good Dog Interrupts Cricket Match, Makes A Doo-Doo On The Field
A cricket Test match between England and India was interrupted on Thursday when a very good doggie decided to take a stroll on the field....
U.S. Soccer Still Needs Jurgen Klinsmann, But Maybe Not As Manager
We’ve been here before. Another disappointing USMNT loss, this time an especially egregious pants-shitting at Costa Rica, more tactical madness and puzzling formation choices, more hints of behind-the-scenes acrimony, and again, more calls for Jurgen Klinsmann’s job. None of that is new. What is dif...
Ricky Rubio Is Done Waiting For The Timberwolves To Get Good
It’s still way too early to be disappointed in the Minnesota Timberwolves, who fell to 3-7 after losing to the Charlotte Hornets last night. Still, this is a team that came into the season riding a massive wave of hype—KAT and Wiggins are stars! Thibodeau is there to whip them into shape! Kris Dunn—...
