Colin Cowherd Is Never Going To Stop Talking About John Wall
WDRB's Rick Bozich wrote a column on Monday in which he recalled the time ferret-faced radio huckster Colin Cowherd went on the air and essentially called John Wall a nigger. Bozich was critical of Cowherd, which led to Cowherd going on the air today and once again fucking that chicken....
NYCFC Hasn't Played A Match And Is Threatening To Move Out Of NYC
MLS expansion team NYCFC, which starts play in 2015, will play at least three seasons in Yankee Stadium. But if New York City won't build them a soccer-specific stadium by then, well, who knows where they might end up? The arena blackmail game seems to play out faster than ever these days....
Oh Hell, Root For The Wizards: John Wall's Brave, Stubborn Playoff Run
If you have watched much Washington Wizards basketball over the past four seasons, first of all, why, and I am so sorry—but also, you have seen John Wall chase down a ballhandler in transition, take off like a fucking F/A-18 off a carrier deck, and swat the absolute shit out of the ball. It's reall...
Marathon Runners Carrying Competitor Across Finish Line? Didn't Happen.
You may have heard the inspirational story yesterday about a Boston Marathon runner who collapsed just short of the finish and was unable to continue, but found himself carried across the line by four fellow runners. The story embodied a spirit of resilience and strength, and the idea of "Boston Str...
Manchester United Sacks Sad Sack David Moyes After Disastrous Campaign
It's official! Sad David Moyes has been fired by sad Manchester United, just one year into a six-year contract. While Moyes had avoided the ax a couple times this season, the sacking isn't at all surprising given a nightmarish campaign that has resulted in United's worst ever Premier League season a...
Fitness Is Not A Computer
Here is what you need in order to work out: your own body, something to wear, at least 64 cubic feet of space (though less will do in a pinch). Here is what you do not need: a computer on your wrist. Particularly not if that computer is trying to snitch on you. ...
Ref Pucked
Ref Steve Kozari was fine after taking a deflected puck to the chest in last night's Pitt-CBJ game, so its OK to laugh. Laugh at the way his body goes stiff, and at the camera flash going off a split second after impact, as if he was struck down by lightning. Head up, stripes....
Year of the Pigskin
Over at New Republic, check out Christopher Beam's story about playing football in China:...
Meb Keflezighi's Secret Weapon Is Ryan Hall

Seth Wold Actually Ran OK
Everyman Seth Wold, who ran with the elite men for the first few miles of the 2014 Boston Marathon, did not have various internal organs go into failure. Rather, after he'd gotten his fill of glory, he jogged it in for a respectable 2 hours, 49 minutes, and 43 seconds, finishing 927th. ...
It's Been That Kind Of Night For The Warriors

Chris Paul was stuck for about a second and then he saw DeAndre Jordan just hanging out behind Steph Curry. Then there was a nasty oop....
Guy Who Got Himself On TV At Start Of Boston Marathon Finished 927th
This guy, Seth Wold, ran fast enough to catch up to the elite runners in the Boston Marathon and actually was in the lead for a short while. After two-and-a-half miles, though, he slacked his and finished the race with an unofficial time of 2:49:43. ...
A Shawn Kemp Dunk Reel Set To Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
These two minutes and 13 seconds capture the zeitgeist of the 90s better than perhaps any other random peek into that era. For a ten-year period, people stopped following rules and started throwing shit together and stuff like this was just...normal, everyday stuff. That's what NBA Inside Stuff did...
Three Ways Meb Keflezighi Won
Yeah, Meb Keflezighi won the 2014 Boston Marathon. But how did he break a 31-year American drought? A three-step attack....
Nude Woman Beats Fans With A Whip After Wrestlemania In New Orleans
Nudity, S & M and tourists chanting on Bourbon Street are far from newsworthy events in New Orleans. But when they're part of the festivities following Wrestlemania 30, it all becomes a bit more fun (?)....
Tomas Hertl Continues To Be Adorable
The Sharks' 20-year-old Czech center Tomas Hertl had a pair of points in his first career playoff game, but I don't really care about that right now. I care that earlier this month, Hertl was introduced to the wonders of Dave & Buster's. ...
Married Couple Injured In Marathon Bombing Cross Finish Line Together
Patrick Downes and Jessica Kensky were spectators last year, lined up along Boylston street to watch the marathoners finish. They were right in front of the first bomb, the blast knocking them unconscious and requiring the amputation of each's left leg below the knee. They were back at the finish li...
