The USMNT Got The Ass Whooping They Deserved
The United States Men’s National Team is in a bad place right now. A few days after losing the opening game of the final round of World Cup qualifying 2-1 to Mexico, they traveled down to Costa Rica and got played off the pitch by Los Ticos from the first whistle. Costa Rica are a perfectly fine tea...
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....
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....
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....
Kadeem Allen Goes Coast-To-Coast To Beat Michigan State<em></em>
Arizona’s Kadeem Allen went coast-to-coast to score the winning basket that knocked off 12th-ranked Michigan State and give Arizona a win in the season-opener. Spartans, what are you doing?...
Steve Kerr Rips Donald Trump And The Whole Damn Election
The Warriors ran the Mavericks 116-95 in Oakland last night, but way more interesting and important were Golden State coach Steve Kerr’s pregame comments on the campaign and the new President-elect: “The man who’s going to lead you has routinely used racist, misogynist, insulting words. That’s a tou...
Report On Voter Intimidation Interrupted By Very Insistent Skateboarder
Tonight Columbus’s WSYX reported live from the scene of where witnesses say Trump supporters outside a polling station have been threatening OSU students with rape if they vote for Hillary Clinton. That would prompt what you’d expect to be a very serious conversation, except for the skateboarder who...
Steph Curry Hits 13 Threes, Breaking Single-Game Record
One game after failing to make a single three-pointer for the first time in 157 games, Steph Curry went crazy on the Pelicans and broke the single-game record by hitting 13 threes. He shot 13-for-17 from three on the evening, and ended up with 46 points in the Warriors win....
Texas A&M's Playoff Hopes Sink With Upset To Mississippi State
A few days after Texas A&M was given the No. 4 spot in the year’s first College Football Playoff rankings—ahead of Washington, who is undefeated, and Louisville and Ohio State, who each matched A&M’s 7-1 record—they made sure they lost it, falling to unranked Mississippi State....
Warriors Get Their Asses Kicked Once Again As Steph Curry's Three-Pointer Streak Ends
For their first week of the season, the Golden State Warriors largely looked like another data point to support the theory that new superteams need some time to gel—a blowout loss to the Spurs, followed by wins over the Pelicans and Suns that were far closer than they should have been. But the last ...
Durant Versus Westbrook Was Fun, And Then It Was A Rout
For about nine minutes last night, it looked like the Thunder might beat the Warriors. But then Jerami Grant dunked and screamed in Kevin Durant’s face, Durant went supernova and scored 39 points, and the Warriors won by 26....
Russell Westbrook Says There's No Particular Reason He Dressed Up Like A Photographer
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook wore an interesting outfit last night, but that’s something that can be said about him literally anytime he walks out of his front door. This particular outfit caught people’s attention, though....
Here's The List of Defense Lawyers Penn State Handed Out To Its Football Players
College football fans know that when a player gets in trouble, it won’t be too long before that player retains legal counsel—and usually very good counsel. At Florida, it’s Huntley Johnson. At Florida State, it’s Tim Jansen. At Tennessee, players got a list of six defense lawyers with ties to the at...
Department Of Education Fines Penn State $2.4 Million For Child Sex Abuse Scandal

He really had this one holstered all night, huh....
For One Quarter Last Night, Steph Looked Like Steph Again
In the grand tradition of LeBron’s Heat and, uh, LeBron’s Cavs, the Warriors’ new superteam has gotten off to a bumpy start. There was that dumbfounding opening night massacre at the hands of the Spurs, but even Golden State’s next two victories—an eight-point win over the Pelicans and a six-point w...
LeBron Roasted The Warriors At His Halloween Party With Some Extremely Rude Cookies
LeBron James, omnipotent shot blocker and NBA champion, loves Halloween. He had a bunch of his Cavs teammates over this weekend, and they all committed to full-on costumes (especially Iman Shumpert). James also used the occasion to stomp all over the Warriors once again in true Halloween spirit. A C...

Jimbo Fisher Lays Into ACC Officials After Losing To Clemson [Update]
Third-ranked Clemson rallied late to edge No. 12 Florida State Saturday night, 37-34, and stay undefeated. FSU head football coach Jimbo Fisher wasn’t upset with the Tigers as much as he was at the penalties called by ACC officiating....
I Think Kevin Durant Might Already Be Losing It
It goes against nearly all of my instincts as a sports fan and writer to buy into narrative concepts such as heroes and villains. An athlete who ditches his team for a better situation is not suddenly a bad guy just because some Twitter users and columnists decide he is, and public opinion doesn’t r...
