When Running Away Before Steph Curry Shoots A Three Goes Wrong
The Warriors won last night, as they always do, bringing their record to 65-7 on the season. They need to go 8-2 to get to 73 wins, which is bonkers. We spend a lot of time lauding them, specifically for their incredibly fun habit of running away before Steph Curry’s shots go in, but last night, Kla...
Jurgen Klinsmann Blew It
The United States Men’s National Team will probably qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Yes, they are trailing Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago in the Group C standings. Yes, they have played conservatively without the defensive ability to make that style work. A day after the U.S. got humili...

Harry Redknapp And Jordanian Journalist Have An Unproductive Interview
Harry Redknapp, the new (temporary?) manager of the Jordan national team, celebrated his first win in charge after his team beat Bangladesh yesterday, 8-0. More difficult than the match itself was the postgame interview, in which both ‘Arry and the unfortunate journalist tasked with speaking to him ...
Cute And Good Puppy On The Field Gets Whisked Away Like A Little Baby
Capivariano FC beat Oeste 2-1 on Wednesday in some hot Campeonato Paulista action down in Brazil, but I don’t care about that and you don’t care about. What I care about and what you presumably will care about is this here furry Idiot On The Field. A Capivirano player was eventually able to befriend...
What It’s Like To Be Protested
I couldn’t hear what they were saying. I was standing on the steps of Oviatt Library at Cal State Northridge, giving a speech to all the incoming freshmen as part of the university’s formal convocation. (Quick acknowledgment: Yes, this actually happened, so you are now free to dump on me for being a...
Steve Francis Needs A Company To Ship One Of His Boats
Attention: Steve Francis, former star point guard for the University of Maryland and the Houston Rockets and not-star point guard for the New York Knicks, needs one of his boats moved from Sarasota, Fla. to “the Harbor.” (Presumably, if you’re the sort of person who can get a boat moved out of Saras...
What Chair Has Been Farted In The Most?
Chairs! They’re soft and comfortable and they provide the perfect acoustic backdrop for a good, solid round of farting. But what chair has been farted in the most over time? Can you even NAME a famous chair without cheating? Is an uninformed discussion about chair farts worth your time at all? THAT ...
Peeps Are The Worst Seasonal Candy
Easter is upon us. You know this—even if you don’t have a grandmother sending increasingly frantic texts asking what time you’ll be there for dinner on Sunday—because the commercials have all gone pastel and there are goddamn Peeps everywhere. If you don’t care about the religious significance, East...
Madison Bumgarner And Jason Heyward's Beef Wasn't Really A Beef At All
Madison Bumgarner’s on-mound demeanor could be described using many different words; I’ll go with “cantankerous,” but depending upon your perspective anything from “fired-up” to “dickish” can be appropriate. So when Jason Heyward stood around seemingly staring at Bumgarner after taking a called thir...
D.J. Stephens Throws Down Thunderous Fast Break Alley-Oop
D.J. Stephens of the D-League’s Iowa Energy yammed home this alley-oop during a close win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. The cut-off perspective of the Vine may be preferable, as it almost looks like Stephens comes out of nowhere for the slam: ...

Yoenis Cespedes Decides Ball That's <i>Right There</i> Is Unplayable, Allows Inside-The-Park Home Run
A truly amazing spring training lowlight from Mets-Astros this afternoon, as an A.J. Reed ball hit past Yoenis Cespedes stuck at the base of the wall. It didn’t wedge under anything; it wasn’t trapped, or unreachable; it wasn’t obstructed in any way that would have warranted the umpire calling dead ...

Did The Rams Draft Michael Sam Just To Avoid <i>Hard Knocks</i>?
There are plenty of conspiracy theories surrounding the Rams’ selection of Michael Sam in the 2014 draft, all centering around the NFL’s desire to avoid the PR of watching the league’s first openly gay prospect go undrafted. But this is a new one....
