Hunter Pence's Dance Moves Are Somehow Less Awkward Than His Batting Stance<em></em>

Smash Mouth—the house band from hit 2001 film Shrek—are prominent, prolific Twitter users who are unafraid to go to the mattresses to correct the record if you spread falsehoods online.

I Respectfully Disagree With Aaron Lynch's Assessment Of The 49ers
I think it’s a good thing for athletes to express confidence in their own team and abilities, and given how many bad teams there are in the NFL, I can kind of see how 49ers linebacker Aaron Lynch could convince himself that his 1-6 squad is actually good and not bad. ...

Ted Cruz Calls Colin Kaepernick A Spoiled Knucklehead
Ted Cruz, whose face is all moist surfaces and uncanny angles and about a third too much skin, will be remembered as the cuck who said to the American people, “Please elect the man who called my wife ugly and implied that my father murdered JFK as the next president of the United States. I’m a puddi...

The San Francisco 49ers got absolutely stomped by the Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon, allowing three touchdowns in the fourth quarter for a final score of 45-16, sending the hapless 49ers home with a 1-5 record. No one outside of Buffalo really cared about that, though....
Colin Kaepernick's Contract Just Went From Bad To Worse
When Colin Kaepernick signed his “$126 million” contract with the San Francisco 49ers in 2014, he was already giving them a remarkable amount of concessions for how successful he was at the time.

Javy Baez Only Makes Spectacular Plays
The Giants finally remembered how to play offense and hit the baseball tonight, but Cubs second baseman Javy Baez is doing everything he can to shut them down. Baez only plays baseball at one million miles per hour, and he attacks approaching grounders like Jim Harbaugh attacks glasses of milk. ...
