Tyrod Taylor Has Been Letting People Mispronounce His Name This Whole Time
Tyrod Taylor is about to begin his eighth season in the NFL, his fourth as a full-time starting quarterback, and his first with the Cleveland Browns (the poor bastard). All this time, his first name has been pronounced incorrectly, apparently....
Josh Norman Has The Right Idea But The Wrong Solution
Washington cornerback Josh Norman has a proposed fix for the NFL’s salary system: a cap on how much money quarterbacks can earn. “I would address the quarterback situation,” Norman told The Ringer’s Kevin Clark, “because they get gosh darn too much money.”...
Jerod Mayo's Missing Dog Found Dead In Dog Trainer's Closet

Can Aaron Rodgers Break The Mold Of NFL Contracts?
Aaron Rodgers has two years left on his contract, but he and the Packers are trying to get a new deal done this summer.

How Did James <em></em>Rodríguez Make This Pass?<em></em>
Colombia rebounded nicely from a 2-1 loss to Japan with a 3-0 shellacking of Poland in their second World Cup game today.

Dereck Rodriguez, Son Of Pudge, Hits The Big Leagues
It is the year of the baseball sons. With Vlad Guerrero Jr. due up later this year (and set to ascend to Cooperstown shortly thereafter) and Bo Bichette and Cavan Biggio also making their ways up through the Blue Jays’ system, the scions of ‘90s–2000s MLB royalty are starting to hit the big leagues....
The WWE Network's "Hidden Gems" Are Fantastic
One of my favorite things about covering and following pro wrestling is that it’s basically infinite. There has just been so much pro wrestling all over the world for so many decades that there will always be more interesting stories and chunks of strange history uncovered, more footage found that n...
Enjoy Chris Froome's Stunning Attack At The Giro d'Italia Now, Because It Might Get Taken Away
This is a season of purgatory for four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome. In a normal year, the British rider would be gearing up to defend his three straight yellow jerseys and tailoring his entire season around the Tour, as he’s done every year since he became a contender. However, Froome ...
Here Are Some Guys Willingly Getting Trucked Into The Sky By A Rampaging Bull
This event, which appears to ask its participants to stand in a small ring and wait for a charging bull to visit its fury upon them, is hard to understand. Why would any human being volunteer for this?...
What's Eating Rodney Hood?
In the second postseason of his career, Rodney Hood has done very little to speak of. So far the Cavs’ trade deadline pickup has coughed up 4.6 points a game on 40-percent shooting from the floor and just 13-percent shooting from the arc, making him an especially useless cog in a LeBron Plus Shooter...
This Is The Biggest Wave Ever Surfed
Over the weekend, the World Surf League officially crowned Brazilian surfer Rodrigo Koxa the new record-holder for the biggest wave ever surfed. He successfully rode an 80-foot wave off the coast of Portugal in November to overtake the previous record of 78 feet, set in 2011....

The Fittest Human Ever Quit Sports, Found Happiness<em></em>
Oskar Svendsen was the next big thing. The baby-faced Norwegian was just 18 years old when he was tabbed as cycling’s next great prodigy at the 2012 World Championships; maybe he’d follow in Thor Hushovd’s footsteps and win bushels of Tour de France stages for Norway, or, who knows, maybe even beco...
Deep Space Nine Innings: A Star Trek Spinoff's Unlikely Baseball Obsession
Star Trek, the original television show, is built on Gene Roddenberry’s insanely optimistic view of the future. Someday, he and his show believed, human beings would would learn to split the atom and solve the problem of need; our better natures would take over and we would fly around the galaxy spr...
Another Iditarod Means Another Dead Dog
