President Of The United States, Weirdly: "Roll Tide"
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true—Donald Trump has only been President of the United States for 13 years.

The Rape Case Tearing Apart Irish Rugby
Rory Best should have stayed in Carton House with the rest of the Irish national rugby team.

Manchester City Hit A Few Bumps On The Road To Immortality
By any conceivable criteria, this year’s Manchester City bunch should go down as one of the greatest Premier League teams of all time.

How I Made A Dumb Video Making Fun Of Sinclair Broadcasting And Somehow Started A Media War

Tony Finau Played The Entire Masters On This Gross, Fucked-Up Ankle
