The Rays Are Making History With Strange New Pitching Strategies

Chelsea striker Álvaro Morata notched a hat trick in the Blues’ 4-0 dismantling of Stoke City yesterday, continuing to prove why he was one of the most sought-after signings of the summer.

John Cena And Roman Reigns Broke The Fourth Wall, Cut A Great Promo

MLS Offered Gigantic Media Rights Bid, But Only If It Adopts Promotion And Relegation
Major League Soccer, the famously cowardly league so afraid of things like “competition” and “risk” and “good ideas that might hurt some obscenely rich guys a little in the short term but will reap immeasurable rewards in the future” that it concocted up some bullshit closed-league format to encase ...
Álvaro Morata's Move To Chelsea Should Set Off A Run On Pricey Strikers
Soccer is a game of goals, so naturally almost every transfer window is defined by the movement of the players that score the goals.

Tony Romo Earned A $64.11 Bonus For His Play
When the NFL instituted predetermined contract rates for draft picks (popularly, if unfairly, remembered as a reaction to Sam Bradford, the last No. 1 pick under the old system, who earned $50 million before playing a snap), it was a change that was both team-friendly, and beneficial to veteran play...
