Here's What A Motorized Doping Check Looks Like
Hey, cycling season started today! Unless you’re a hardcore devotee of the Tour of Qatar or you really love the Volta ao Algarve, this morning’s Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was the first real race of the season. Greg Van Avermaet took the win today, with a really impressive sprint where he dusted everyone...
Why FIFA's Unambitious New President Might Be Good News For Reform
To my mind, the most telling thing to come from this entire, interminable Extraordinary FIFA Congress wasn’t the election itself—in which Gianni Infantino, previously the general secretary of UEFA, became the new president of soccer’s powerful and scandal-ravaged governing body—nor was it the indivi...
Report: Brooklyn Nets Tickets Will Be Cheaper Next Season Because Nobody Wants To Pay To See That Garbage
The Brooklyn Nets have realized that fielding a roster of chumps and Brook Lopez doesn’t put butts in seats, so they’re solving half of the problem by making it cheaper to watch their dull team....
How SB Nation Published Their Daniel Holtzclaw Story
Last week, Vox Media’s SB Nation published “Who Is Daniel Holtzclaw?”, a 12,000-word profile of a 29-year-old former Oklahoma City police officer who this winter was tried for raping 13 black women while on duty; convicted on 18 of 36 charges of rape, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy, and burgla...
Goodness, This Isaiah Thomas Pass
I’ve been repeatedly watching the replay of this no-look, behind-the-head pass from Isaiah Thomas that set up Jae Crowder’s game-sealing three, trying to figure out at what point Thomas spotted Crowder on the wing, and I never see him glance over there. But it sounds like it might be one of those sp...
Dexter Fowler's Agent Rips Into The Orioles And The Baseball Media
Dexter Fowler re-signed with the Chicago Cubs on a one-year deal, with a mutual option for a second, earlier today. That was a bit surprising, because just two days ago it was widely reported that he’d agreed to a three-year deal with the Baltimore Orioles. ...

Right Now, Manchester United Must Rely On Some Unknown Teen To Save Their Season [Update: HE'S FUCKING DOING IT]
In their usually fruitless quest to prove they can still compete with the truly elite clubs in world soccer, Manchester United have apparently decided to challenge Bayern Munich for the title of World’s Most Injured Squad. Just a little while ago, the one bright spot during this season of frustratio...
Tennessee Lawsuit Reveals Details Of Unprosecuted Rape Case
On April 13, 2013, Tennessee coach Butch Jones announced that football player Marlin Lane was suspended for “disciplinary reasons.” More than a year later, via reporting by the Tennesseean, it was revealed that those “disciplinary reasons” involved a police investigation into if Lane had raped an 18...
Arkansas QB Trying To Stretch His Lil' Baby Hands In Order To Boost Draft Stock
I can’t imagine how stressful it must be to be a prospect at the NFL combine, where every aspect of your physical being is broken down and scrutinized in absurd detail, and the slightest deficiency can sink your draft stock. So it’s no wonder that Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen is stressed out a...
Hahaha, What The Hell Kind Of Ingenious Rainbow Goal Is This?
This goal, scored by Ranger’s striker Kenny Miller, is crazy. The ball’s trajectory is less a dipping curler and more a meteor falling out of the sky and somehow landing in the side netting. It’s a curve you’d learn to plot in high school math class with your graphing calculator come to life. The go...
Nate Diaz Accuses Conor McGregor Of Steroid Use At Impressively Ludicrous Press Conference
It’s late February and not much is going on in sports, so the press conference the UFC held today to promote Conor McGregor’s upcoming fight against Nate Diaz was the most entertaining happening of the day largely by default. Even so, it was really something, every bit as dumb as could be hoped....
Of All The Dumb Things Ever Written About Analytics, This Might Be The Dumbest
We don’t really bother to cover the Basketball Analytics wars anymore, because what’s the point? “Analytics” is simply a numbers-based way of understanding what is happening on the court, whether those numbers are expressed as points or RAPM. It is self-evident that teams should use every tool avail...
Former Tennessee Player: Butch Jones Called Me Traitor For Helping Alleged Rape Victim
In a sworn affidavit, then-Volunteers football player Drae Bowles says he was attacked and threatened by teammates for helping a woman who told him she had been raped by players A.J. Johnson and Michael Williams, and told by head coach Butch Jones that he had “betrayed the team.” ...
David Ortiz Wants A Standing Ovation From Yankees Fans
It’s David Ortiz’s final season, and barring a Red Sox playoff appearance, his final road games will be at Yankee Stadium the last week of September. Given how much of Ortiz’s career and reputation is caught up in the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, and how his heroics in the 2004 ALCS turned around the fr...
Chaco Giménez Shoots From Goddamn Jupiter, Scores
If Alessandro Florenzi’s wondergoal in September came from Mars, Chaco Giménez’s strike from even further out can only be described as originating from the next planet back....
Tiger Woods Posts Video Showing That Maybe He Isn't Old And Fucked Up
Tiger Woods is old, and depending how much stock you put into vaguely sourced Twitter reports, possibly too fucked up to play golf. But if this video Woods just posted to his Twitter account is to be believed, he is at least capable of swinging a golf club....
