Phillies Legend Mike Schmidt Trashes Phillies CF Odubel Herrera [Updated]
Mike Schmidt is perhaps the greatest Phillie of all time. The Phillies, as you probably know, have been the worst team in baseball so far this season. But Schmidt works for the Phillies as a color analyst on weekend home games, so you’d expect him to refrain from trashing the team when he appeared ...

Michigan State Dismisses Three Players Charged In Sexual Assault Case

The Astros Are On A Record-Breaking Pace
The Astros whacked the hell out of the Royals last night, beating Kansas City 7-3 to extend their win streak to 11 games. It was the kind of game good teams win all the time, in which the Astros’ starter only lasted five innings and the 1-5 hitters went 4-21, but two homers and five RBIs from the 7 ...
Preds Fans <i>Really</i> Love Their Hockey
This amorous couple couldn’t contain themselves after Nashville’s 4-1 win over Pittsburgh tonight to even the Stanley Cup Final at two games a piece, showing their love for, uh, hockey behind WSMV’s Chris Harris....

Justin Bieber Is An Equal Opportunity Sports Fan, Loves High-Level Sports Games
Love is infinite. One can deeply, earnestly love and appreciate many things at once; the personal love of one friend or Chinese takeout place or sports club need not lessen or prohibit the love of another. You know who understands this? Justin Bieber, who loves sports so genuinely and fully that he ...

War Machine Gets Life In Prison For Sexually Assaulting And Kidnapping Christy Mack
Former professional MMA fighter War Machine (born Jon Koppenhaver) was found guilty by a Las Vegas jury in March of 29 charges, including sexual assault and battery with a deadly weapon, after he attacked his ex-girlfriend Christy Mack and her friend Corey Thomas in 2014.

Gael Monfils Laid It All Out There
Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka are genuine late-bloomers—perhaps the only two pros to ever find their best tennis on the cusp of 30—and very good friends, too. Somehow, before today’s round of 16 match at the French Open, they had gone six years on the tour without playing one another. That fact bog...
Brock Lesnar Finally Has A Challenger
Part-timers have held a WWE championship a few times in recent years, and they necessarily haven’t defended their belts very much. The Rock ended CM Punk’s 434-day reign in January 2013, beat Punk in a rematch the next month, then lost it to John Cena at WrestleMania. That was a barnstorming tour co...
The Warriors Are Math
The old-timey wisdom goes: Basketball is a matchup sport. I think I’ve heard Kenny Smith or various other Kenny Smiths say some version of this more than 200 times in my life. That is, basketball outcomes are not determined neatly along gradients of pure talent and/or skill, but rather by how varyin...

How Frank Deford Helped Pro Wrestling Journalism Become Very Real
To understand what Frank Deford, who died at 78 this past week, did for professional wrestling, you need to go back to one of his most famous articles, one which profiled what was, at the time, the other most popular entertainment sport in America. “The Roller Derby,” which was published in the Marc...
Steph Curry Gave LeBron James The Runaround
It’s sort of hard to crystallize a Warriors attack that could only be described as “relentless”—in both games so far, the Cavs have survived for a half, then understandably given way under a barrage that just doesn’t let up, and comes from so many different angles. (Seriously, how many times did a C...
