I Hope People Never Stop Asking Bill Belichick About Malcolm Butler
The last time we saw the New England Patriots in a meaningful football game, their defense was getting 538 yards dropped on them by the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl loss. This all happened while starting cornerback Malcolm Butler, who had played nearly 98 percent of the defensive snaps in the...
“Patriotic displays, they mean a lot more to me when they’re spontaneous. But to learn that these had been paid for—that corporate teams, teams owned by billionaires, basically, were collecting money from the military. Paid for, obviously, by you and me, by the American taxpayer. Well, it was sad.” ...
Darrelle Revis Was Too Great To Be Seen
If I had to pick a play that best summed up what Darrelle Revis could do as the best cornerback of this pass-heavy era of the NFL, it would be one in which he actually gave up a catch....
The Dodgers Have Won The Manny Machado Sweepstakes, Finally
Manny Machado is heading west.

There's A New Co-Leader In The Manny Machado Sweepstakes
Manny Machado homered in his first-at bat, his 24th of the year, and then left the game after the fourth inning, because of wet grass following a rain delay.

Manny Machado Is Smashing Dongs Against The Yankees While He Still Has The Chance
Orioles shortstop Manny Machado is very likely going to be out of Baltimore by the end of the month, and if you believe the whispers, the Yankees are one of the teams that badly want to trade for him. For now, though, as the Yanks battle the Orioles at Camden, Machado remains an enemy of all that is...
Yes, The Yankees Are In On Manny Machado
The Yankees and Orioles split a doubleheader in Baltimore on Monday, but the games were almost a sideshow—after all, we know what’s going to happen in the standings: one team is bound for the playoffs and one team the cellar.

Why Didn't The Rockets Use Their Mid-Level Exception On Luc Mbah A Moute?
Luc Mbah a Moute is leaving the Rockets. And, to use one of the more cursed sentences in the English language, he’s going to be a Clipper. The former Houston forward signed an artificially deflated one-year, $4.3 million contract with the L.A. team that doesn’t have LeBron, in a deal that the Rocket...
The Manny Machado Sweepstakes Is Raging
Manny Machado turned 26 on Friday; he is in the prime of his career, and he is having the best season of his life.

Oh Come On, The Lakers Passed On DeMarcus Cousins?
It’s undeniably wack that the Warriors, with the signing of DeMarcus Cousins to a one-year, $5.3 million deal on Monday night, have managed to assemble an entire starting five that, when healthy, could run the Eastern Conference All-Stars off the court. But what makes the earthquake of the Cousins s...
This Is Wack

Dear God, DeMarcus Cousins Is Signing With The Warriors
If any Warriors fans were the least bit scared of a LeBron-led Lakers squad, they probably don’t have to be anymore. Multiple outlets are reporting that New Orleans Pelicans beast DeMarcus Cousins is heading to Golden State, signing a contract for considerably less money than he’s worth (despite his...
Mexico Boss Extremely Pissed About Example Neymar Sets For The Children<em></em><em></em><em></em>
If you tuned in to the earlier, less exciting World Cup game today, you might think you saw Brazil ride a fierce second half performance to a well-deserved 2-0 defeat of Mexico.
