Can Ghirmay Ghebreslassie Upend The Conventional Wisdom Of Pro Marathoning?
Ghirmay Ghebreslassie won the NYC Marathon in 2:07:51, but what received almost as much attention as his dominance of the competition was his extreme youth. The Eritrean turns 21 today, which makes him the youngest man to ever win the NYC Marathon. Considering most top marathoners peak between 29 an...

How The Falcons Are Getting The Most Out Of Matt Ryan
“It feels like everybody’s open at the same time,” Julio Jones said after the Falcons finished wiping their feet with the Buccaneers Thursday night.

Kris Bryant Smiling Through The Final Out Is My Favorite Thing
I don’t really have anything add to this video of 24-year-old Kris Bryant grinning like an idiot as he made the throw to first to win the World Series, only a sincere wish that everyone reading this gets to experience a moment of similar anticipatory joy in their lives, and the observation that it i...
Report: Geno Smith Has A Torn ACL

Todd Bowles Changes His Mind About Ryan Fitzpatrick
Last night, the Jets limped their way to a 28-3 loss to the Cardinals. Ryan Fitzpatrick started, went 16-for-31, and tossed a pick. He was replaced by a very mad Geno Smith, who ended his only drive by throwing a pick to Tyrann Mathieu. The Jets have a surplus of quarterbacks, but that doesn’t reall...
That Time Kobe Bryant Destroyed A Hungover Luke Walton
Incoming Lakers head coach Luke Walton was a rookie in L.A. once upon a time, and he joined up right at the tail end of the first era of dominant Kobe Bryant teams. Yesterday, he told a story about Kobe’s intensity back in those days to Jesse Williams on his “Open Run” podcast yesterday. He showed u...
The Jets Have Bigger Problems Than Ryan Fitzpatrick
This is not what the Jets envisioned when they finally ended their very long and very weak standoff with Ryan Fitzpatrick. All they needed was a competent quarterback who could score a few points and let the defense win games, and Fitzpatrick seemed to fit the bill. The best-case scenario for the 2...

Woof, Ryan Tannehill
I will come clean and admit that there was a time, not even two years ago, when I thought Ryan Tannehill was going to be a very good NFL quarterback. I have submitted my resignation to Tim Marchman, and will step down as a sports writer-abouter if it’s accepted....

Rex Ryan Posed As A Reporter To Ask Julian Edelman If He'd Be Playing QB
Who will quarterback the Patriots this weekend? Jacoby Brissett? Jimmy Garappolo? Julian Edelman? Everyone involved in this weekend’s Patriots-Bills game is interested in finding out, nobody more so than Bills coach Rex Ryan. So he performed some extremely simple subterfuge on a conference call with...
Matt Ryan Wanted No Part Of Making This Block
Here are two facts. The first is that the Falcons are rounding into form as an offensive juggernaut, their 45-32 shootout win over the Saints an almost ideal display of firepower that saw them score touchdowns on five consecutive drives. This was a balanced attack, with big nights from Devonte Freem...
