It's Goff Time, Motherfuckers

Strap the fuck in, because the 4-5 Los Angeles Rams finally gave us a reason to watch their quest for 7-9. Finally, after months of dithering, Jeff Fisher has made the move. Case Keenum? Benched! First overall draft pick Jared Goff? Ready as shit....

This Week In Jeff Fisher Refusing To Blame His Quarterback

I’d like to apologize to you on behalf of sports if you watched yesterday’s 9-6 Rams win over the Jets, a game that seemed absolutely destined to be a tie and didn’t end up with even that novelty to recommend it. The Jets are so unwatchable that they flexed Tom Brady out of primetime, but let’s not ...

DeAndre Jordan Doesn't Want You To Have Any Ice Cream

NBA teams run all kinds of fun in-game promotions—free tacos if we score 100 points! Free pizza if we hit 15 threes!—but the best ones are those that allow for meta-contests between the fans and opposing players....

Philip Rivers Throws Away Chargers Game With A Last-Minute Pick-Six 

San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers did a less-than-stellar job of keeping the ball away from the Miami Dolphins Sunday. A total of three interceptions through the first three-and-a-half-plus quarters... and then one more with hardly one minute left in the fourth quarter of a tied ballgame....

Larry Fitzgerald Taken To Locker Room After Landing Backwards On His Neck [Update]

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald made his 1,079th career reception today against the San Francisco 49ers, passing Terrell Owens on the all-time list.

The Best Fight At UFC 205 Happened In The Crowd

Here’s some video from last night’s UFC 205 event at MSG. You can tell by the music that it’s just as Conor McGregor entered the arena, and it’s a lovely brawl. Reader Jason shot it, and we’re happy to actually have UFC video we can use for once. ...

Gregg Popovich Blasts Donald Trump's Election In Lengthy Monologue: "We Are Rome"<em></em>

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who has long given well-thought-out responses to a host of social and political issues, spent six minutes of his press conference before tonight’s game against the Pistons harshly criticizing President-elect Donald Trump, and the fact that people voted for him after the c...

Just Five Minutes Of Philip Rivers Saying Stuff

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has always struck me as a sort of charming goober, so it’s nice to hear five minutes of in-game audio that more or less confirms my assessment....

Julius Randle Is Getting In People's Heads

Have you been watching any Lakers games this year? Perhaps you haven’t given them much thought ever since Kobe Bryant finally fucked off and took all the schadenfreude-driven reasons to watch the Lakers with him. Well guess what, the Lakers are kind of fun now!...

The Clippers' Bench Has Somehow Gone From Terrible To Amazing

For five seasons, the Los Angeles Clippers have been the exact same team. In the regular season they win 50-something games, and in the playoffs they flame out before the Conference Finals. But things might just be different this year, because their previously worthless bench unit is dominating game...

Cam Newton Is Still Getting Destroyed, Still Not Getting Flags

Just days after announcing he was worried about his safety, Cam Newton took a pair of vicious hits that went unflagged. Sunday at the Rams, Newton was drilled twice with helmet-to-helmet hits. And according to ESPN’s Ed Werder, the league reviewed the plays and determined no rules were violated....

End Of Motorcycle Chase Features Excellent Play-By-Play Announcing

Tonight a clearly unexperienced motorcyclist led L.A.-area cops on a chase that ended when he ran into a car and took off running. That led to some wonderful commentary from the KCBS chopper man as he painted a picture with words of the gent trying, and failing, to escape. Here’s an alternate angle ...

San Diego Stands Tall, Tells The Chargers To Fuck Off

Bad night last night, right? Real bad. Terrible night. Just the worst....

The 49ers Did Something Smart Yesterday

The one-win San Francisco 49ers have been seriously unwatchable this year, but they competently pulled off a shrewd play in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. ...

Government Alleges Collusion Kept The Dodgers Off The Air In Southern California<em></em>

Three years ago the Los Angeles Dodgers partnered with Time Warner Cable to create SportsNet LA, a regional sports network that carries Dodgers games and no other interesting programming. The deal was worth a reported $7 to $8 billion over 25 years for the team, by far baseball’s largest local telev...

Some Managerial Moves That Probably Won't Matter Much

Fresh off a sub-.500 season, the Colorado Rockies are reportedly replacing Walt Weiss, who managed the team to no higher than a third-place finish in four years, with Bud Black. Although the hiring has yet to be confirmed, several outlets are reporting based on sources close to the issue. This is fi...

Where Is Jared Goff?

Los Angeles fans waited a long time for a football team, but they can’t wait any longer for a competent quarterback. As early as the second quarter, and multiple times in the Rams’ 13-10 loss to the Panthers, the Coliseum crowd struck up the chant: “We want Goff!”...
