Titleist Sues Seller Of Parody “Titties” Merchandise

I Made Bogey is an online golf apparel company that sells products with slogans you’d expect to see on the Wildwood boardwalk. There are a series of t-shirts inspired by Happy Gilmore.

Go Ahead And Enjoy Christian Pulisic Tearing Shit Up In A Meaningless Game

I’m not going to tell you that Christian Pulisic’s performance in today’s Borussia Dortmund-AC Milan friendly—in which he conjured two assists, won a penalty, and eeled his way past famously big and bad Serie A defenders more times than you could count—means that the Wonderteen is primed to take the...

Billy Beane Admits That Being An A's Fan Is Hell

Yesterday, the Oakland A’s traded relievers Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson to the Washington Nationals in exchange for reliever Blake Treinen and two minor leaguers.

Showtime™ Presents: Misogyny, Racism, And Homophobia<em></em>

You don’t have to pick a side between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. Floyd’s an unapologetic abuser of women and the Internal Revenue Service, while Conor is a racist dipshit. Last week’s circus of publicity stunts rightfully damaged both parties’ reputations, but another one, curiously, h...

Mike Finds New Mike Named Trey

The Mikes of ESPN’s Mike & Mike will soon split apart and become simply Mike and Mike, and reports out of Mikeville have indicated that the Mikes don’t really like each other. Both Mikes insisted that they were cool despite the rumblings and the imminent end of Mike & Mike, and now ESPN has finally ...

It’s Not Always A Good Idea To Wait For Your Pitch

Kyle Tait is a sports broadcaster in Atlanta. So, naturally, he had a baseball-themed gender reveal party. (Shouldn’t it be a sex reveal party? Eh, whatever.) Problem is, Tait didn’t like the pitch his wife threw him....

Yesterday morning, SB Nation’s Cowboys blog, Blogging The Boys, published an article about the NFL’s ongoing investigation into domestic violence allegations against Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott.

Nats Finally Swing Trade To Add Arms To Their League-Worst Bullpen

White Sox Announcer: "We Have No Budget Left For The Second Half Of The Season"

Asshole Hoaxes Hundreds Of Job Seekers Into Attending Raiders Stadium-Board Meeting

If you lived in Las Vegas and were looking for a construction job, you might have been thrilled to read the flyer below, which promises “JOBS!!! JOBS!!!

Track Athlete Blamed "Frequent And Passionate" Kissing For Failed Drug Test 

In June, an independent arbitrator cleared U.S. track athlete Gil Roberts of wrongdoing after he tested positive for a banned substance in March, though few details of the case were made public. Now, thankfully, the USADA has released the report in all its glory for our collective enjoyment and know...

Dennis Smith Jr. Is An Athletic Marvel

You’d be foolish to take away too much from how a rookie plays in NBA Summer League. Sometimes future stars like Damian Lillard can announce themselves with huge Summer League performances, but for every Lillard there are a dozen Donte Greenes who show out on the small stage then quickly fade away o...

So You Know How To Win. Why Should You?

I’ve been thinking a lot about the following tweet, by, I gather, some Democratic Party-aligned liberal guy who writes for something called Shareblue, since it was posted yesterday. It makes me feel extremely bummed out and lost:...

Jesus Walked On Water; Tim Tebow Hit A Seventh-Inning Walk-Off Homer<em></em><em></em>

Freshly promoted to high Class-A baseball, Tim Tebow has been hitting the ball better than ever before. In his previous stop with the low Class-A Columbia Fireflies, he hit just .220. The former QB is hitting .326 at the moment with the St. Lucie Mets, and this evening he produced his most sanctifie...
