Beans, Ranked<em></em>
As you know, this site supposedly exists for the sake of juicy sports news and gossip, but what we REALLY do instead is rank random bullshit and start flame wars with those rankings.

Rome's Fall Left Britain A Violent, Cityless Hellscape
In the year 350 AD, to paraphrase the historian Robin Fleming, Britain was as Roman a place as anywhere in the Empire.

Have You Talked Yourself Into The Cavs Yet?
I think we can all agree that last year’s NBA Finals was one of the best sports things to ever happen, and that it would be maximally good if the same thing—by “same thing” I mean LeBron and the Cavs banishing the Warriors to hell—happened again this year.
