The NFLPA Caught The Rams Trying To Short Players By Writing Missouri Labor Laws Into Contracts
The Los Angeles Rams took to their move to California with immediate verve, and tried to broadcast their identity by telling you exactly where their press conferences were (Manhattan Beach baby!) and selling you insufferably branded gear. But, according to a report yesterday from PFT, one thing the ...
Medical Motorcycle Takes Out Professional Cyclist During Race
During today’s Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, Lotto-Soudal’s Stig Broeckx was drifting off to the right of the peloton, presumably to go back to his team car, when a medical motorbike tried to shoot the gap, but only ended up skidding Broeckx to the deck....
Deadpool Is A Superhero Who Refuses To Act Like One
The two biggest movie releases of Summer 2016 are both going to be overwrought action movies cut with brief interludes of Men Breathing Heavily Through Their Noses With Emotion, and they are both going to pull in a small nation’s GDP worth of box office receipts. Take your pick: Batman v. Superman: ...
Jerry Jones Is The Reason The Rams Are In Los Angeles
The best thing you’ll read this week—and the most revealing look at the dynamics of the men who actually run the NFL I’ve read in years—is this ESPN The Magazine feature by Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta Jr., a tick-tock of the gossip, the cajoling, the backroom deals, the conniving, and finally ...
St. Louis Lawyer Buys Super Bowl Ad To Tell Stan Kroenke To Get Fucked
I put out a call during last night’s Super Bowl local ad break for the best and worst of your local markets, and got replies ranging from axe-murderer Joe Jacoby to HVAC-shilling Mike Tyson to an ad in Omaha for a male enhancement doctor who will make your dong so powerful it will leave your partner...
Stan Kroenke, Fresh Off Leaving St. Louis In The Lurch, Asks St. Louis For Tax Dollars
Stan Kroenke, a businessman who quite possibly wears the skinned pelt of a wombat atop his head on purpose, isn’t a popular man in St. Louis. He recently moved the Rams off to Los Angeles, drawing the ire of pretty much everyone there. So how should Stan go about mending his reputation there, seeing...
Report: NFL Relocation Vote Was Swung By The Introduction Of Secret Ballots
The MMQB’s Peter King has a thorough tick-tock on how NFL owners eventually settled on voting to approve St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s proposal to move his team to Inglewood, Calif. There aren’t any real bombshell revelations in King’s story, but it does bring to light a key turning point in t...
Fans Chant "Kroenke Sucks" As Blues And Cardinals Send A Message From St. Louis
As of this week, St. Louis is a two-sport town. Both of those franchises were represented at the puck drop for last night’s Blues-Hurricanes game, offering a show of solidarity, but the fans added a little extra message of their own for the owner of their former football team....
Stan Kroenke Will Never Care About You
The thing that always strikes me about people’s reactions to the general fuckery carried out by pro sports owners is the genuine disbelief. You look at some galactically rich piece of puddy asking taxpayers to build him a new stadium and you can’t help but ask, “Is this guy fucking serious?” You see...
What Is That Thing On Stan Kroenke's Head?
Rams owner Stan Kroenke has been in the news lately for his part in a disgraceful shitbag scheme that involves him moving his team from St. Louis to Los Angeles. This makes it a good time to ask a question we’ve long been meaning to ask: What the fuck is that on his head?...
A Special Message From Rams And Chargers Fans
Yesterday, the NFL approved a deal that will send the St. Louis Rams back to Los Angeles, with a second team joining them within a year, if not sooner. That second team will almost certainly be the San Diego Chargers, whose owner, Dean Spanos, will have to settle for a mere windfall instead of a bon...
Ben Roethlisberger's Shoulder Is All Messed Up
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was a guest on the Cook and Poni sports radio show this morning, and shed a bit more light on what exactly is wrong with his throwing shoulder, which he injured during Saturday’s Wild Card game against the Bengals. ...
Report: Ben Roethlisberger Has A Separated Shoulder, But He'll Try To Play At Denver
Ben Roethlisberger left yesterday’s win crazy over the Bengals with a shoulder injury after Vontaze Burfict got him with a cheap shot. He came back to lead a last-gasp drive, but clearly was not at 100%....
Three-Year-Old Roasts Stan Kroenke For Trying To Move The Rams
Stan, you really did it this time! The police and the fireman are gonna come get you! You’re being so mean to everybody!...
The Bucks Are A Big Fuckin' Bummer
In our NBA season preview post, published, uh, a couple hours after the NBA season began back in October, I wrote the following about the Milwaukee Bucks:...
Will Jared Leto's Joker Be Too Raw And Subversive For Modern Society To Handle?
Wow, we knew from previous reports (“Leto ... sent Margot Robbie [Harley Quinn] a dead rat”) that Jared Leto’s portrayal of the Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie would be unbelievably edgy and raw, but Twitter users @boring_as_heck and @swarthyvillain got ahead of the film’s promotional cycl...
NFL Executive: It's Unfair To Ask Billionaire Owners To Finance Their Own Stadiums
NFL executive vice president Eric Grubman was a recent guest on on the Bernie Miklasz Show, and he was there to talk about Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s ongoing efforts to move the team to Los Angeles. Grubman talked about the situation for about 40 minutes, and oh man did he say some infuriating stuff....
Stan Kroenke Wants The Rams Out Of St. Louis So Damn Badly
We’re nearing the end of Escape To L.A. race that the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Oakland Raiders have been running for what seems like forever now. Given that neither team has gotten an attractive offer to stay in their current cities, the Chargers and Raiders appear to be most likely t...
Ben Roethlisberger's Trying Really Hard To Pretend He Doesn't Have A Concussion
Ben Roethlisberger is a resilient guy who will generally try to play through just about any injury, but his brain bouncing off the inside of his skull is a bridge too far. The Steelers quarterback took himself out of Sunday’s game against Seattle, and he’s still suffering the effects. The team’s ada...
Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Is A Bathroom Hog
With the Vikings playing in the University of Minnesota’s stadium until their own new building is complete, visiting dignitaries don’t have the level of luxury they may be used to. Wherever Rams owner Stan Kroenke watched the game from, it didn’t have adequate private restrooms. So he commandeered t...
