You Never Know Which Stan Wawrinka You're Going To Get
Last we saw the third-ranked tennis player in the world, he was stumbling out of the first round in Paris, shown the door by the world No. 91. Before that, in Basel, he crumbled against No. 72 Mischa Zverev, facing visible mental collapse in the third set. And in today’s rematch of the U.S. Open sem...
Alshon Jeffery Suspended Four Games For Violating PED Policy
Alshon Jeffery is not having the best year. He’s set to be a free agent this offseason, and a bounce-back season in which he returned to his 2013-14 form could have set him up for a decent payday. Unfortunately, he’s only got 630 yards and one touchdown in nine games of the season, and now he’s in ...
The NFL Knows America Doesn't Want To Watch The Jets
We already savaged the Rams for their role in the NFL’s least enjoyable game since this Week 1 debacle, but no one deserves to come out of that with dignity intact. The Jets, led by Bryce Petty in his first NFL start, were just as complicit, punting eight times and gaining just 17 first downs. You d...
Professional Plumber Michael Fulmer Could Win Rookie Of The Year Award
Tonight, MLB will announce the rookies of the year for each league and Detroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer is predicted to win in the AL (sorry Gary Sánchez) for his 3.06 ERA over 159 innings. But according to a charmingly puffy new profile out in the Detroit Free Press, the 23-year-old is likely ...
What It's Like To Wake Up And Find Yourself Working For Donald Trump
Career civil and foreign service employees in the U.S. government woke up last week to the prospect of having to work for Donald Trump. What are all these (publicly discreet) professionals actually thinking right now? We have a small glimpse....
Former Oregon Football Player Cliff Harris Is Not Doing So Well
Cliff Harris, a former cornerback for the Oregon Ducks, was arrested Saturday and booked at Fresno County Jail early Sunday morning....
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 ...
Carmelo Anthony Says The Referee Who Booted Him Has A Grudge
If you’re feeling a sense of cosmic upheaval, that everything around you is shifting, rest assured that the Knicks are still 3-6 on the season and that Carmelo Anthony is still marinating in quiet resentment. ...
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....
Gifts For Golden State Warriors Fans
The Golden State Warriors went 73-9 during the 2015-16 NBA regular season, only to see their championship aspirations dashed in the Finals, where they blew a 3-1 lead to LeBron James’s Cleveland Cavaliers....
The Most Blake Bortles Play Blake Bortles Ever Bortled
The Jaguars entered this season with expectations of contending for a playoff spot. Instead, after a 24-21 loss to the Texans, they’re 2-7 and haven’t won a game in a month. It’s been a grim season, but thankfully Blake Bortles is dedicated to supplying his fans with much needed dosages of slapstick...
Trump's Transition Team Is Just Now Learning What A President Does
It’d be an understatement to say that Donald Trump isn’t exactly prepared for the task at hand. And we already know that he “didn’t want to jinx himself” with too much preparation pre-win. According to a source closely connected to the Trump transition team, though, the reality of the situation is w...
The Cowboys Are Dak Prescott's Now
The Cowboys played this perfectly, and got lucky, but there is now no question that Dak Prescott is their starting quarterback. Tony Romo practiced fully this week, and is healthy enough to play for the first time since breaking his back in preseason, but come Sunday against Baltimore, he’ll be hold...
Can Ghirmay Ghebreslassie Upend The Conventional Wisdom Of Pro Marathoning?
Ghirmay Ghebreslassie won the NYC Marathon in 2:07:51, but what received almost as much attention as his dominance of the competition was his extreme youth. The Eritrean turns 21 today, which makes him the youngest man to ever win the NYC Marathon. Considering most top marathoners peak between 29 an...
Mike Evans Sat During National Anthem To Protest Election Of Donald Trump
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans became the latest NFL player to refuse to stand during the national anthem yesterday, a sign of protest that was directed at either half the electorate or one person in particular, depending on how you look at it....
Rob Gronkowski Said This Was The Hardest He's Ever Been Hit
In the second quarter of the Seahawks’ win over New England, TE Rob Gronkowski took a hell of a shot from safety Earl Thomas:...
One Step Back Helped Kam Chancellor Foil The Patriots' Last Play
There’s something pleasant about sports displaying symmetry; it’s a reassurance, however misleading, that we aren’t devoting so much of our lives to a random number generator. The ending of Seahawks-Patriots looked a lot like the ending of Super Bowl XLIX: It came down to a goal-line stand, the defe...
Warriors And Suns Enact Humanity's Doomed Search For Meaning<em></em>
The Warriors beat the Suns 133-120 tonight, but the game wasn’t entirely the display of offensive efficiency suggested by that final score. Here’s a sequence of abject futility and a metaphor for the human condition in 2016—saved, as we are always, by Stephen Curry....
