Zlatan Ibrahimović Scores Hat Trick, Is Dad<em></em>
Today in Manchester United’s Europa League knockout match against Saint-Étienne, Zlatan Ibrahimović scored about the most unremarkable hat trick you’re likely to see.

Everyone In<i> Taboo </i>Is Repulsive And That's Good As Hell
I’ll watch pretty much any British period drama that’s available to me because I like cool costumes and accents. Penny Dreadful? Sign me the hell up. Peaky Blinders? You bet your ass. The Crown?

This video of some typically crude and unsporting behavior in Argentina is queued up to begin where the real action starts, but if you’d like a little backstory, you can skip back to the beginning. On the other hand, if you just want to see a dude spit in a player’s face, just hit play and let it ri...
A President You Can Drink Bleach With
This seems a good moment to revisit “He seems like he’d be a good guy to have a beer with,” the shorthand explanation for the rank anti-intellectualism that put George W. Bush in the White House 17 years ago and later flowered, in our somehow even dumber present, into “Uh actually stupid idiots are ...

Louisiana High School Coach Bans Nick Saban From Campus For "Not Being Ethical"
LSU head coach Ed Orgeron rode out a potential boycott last week and got himself back into the good graces of New Orleans-area football coaches. Now, it’s Nick Saban’s turn to get on the wrong side of a high school coach....
Georges St-Pierre Is (Maybe) Back<em></em>
One of the greatest fighters in UFC history might be coming back soon. Georges St-Pierre hung up his gloves and vacated the welterweight title (a title he had owned since the Mesozoic era) in late 2013, and speculation about when he would fight again kicked off shortly after. He almost came back to ...
Time For Unions To Figure Out The Internet

I Am Dying At These Heart-Shaped Pizzas
How was your Valentine’s Day? I masturbated then watched the dog show, though at least 30 minutes apart so as not to make it weird. But some people believe in romance. At least two delivery chains offered customers the option to order heart-shaped pizzas, and America’s hungry lovebirds eagerly oblig...
