Chart: Where Pro Athletes Are Born In America
Ben Blatt put together this chart for Slate that shows where current pro athletes were born in America.

Bee On Bouquet Causes Gymnast To Freak Out On Podium
Gymnast Simone Biles's podium appearance at Friday's Artistic Gymnastics World Championships was derailed when she noticed a bee on her flowers. Biles bolted, bristling away from the bouquet as the bee bugged her. Bees....
Jürgen Klinsmann Wishes America Would Adopt Promotion And Relegation
It's another international fixture break, which means it's another opportunity for Jürgen Klinsmann to get his message out to the media, which means it's yet another chance for him to criticise America's domestic leagues. This time, his beef is with the lack of promotion and relegation....
<em>Blue Ruin</em> Is A Great Revenge Thriller About How Dumb Revenge Is
Every revenge movie eventually has to address the idea that, hey, maybe revenge is a really bad idea, that maybe you shouldn't organize your entire life around killing the person who wronged you. Usually, this notion is rejected immediately: A supporting character will say something like, "Wait, you...
Ex-NFL Exec: "Hundreds" Of Domestic Violence Cases Quote Out Of Context
Last night, USA Today published a damning interview with former Giants, Buccaneers, and Bears executive Jerry Angelo. In it, he was quoted as having said that he was aware of the NFL having covered up "hundreds and hundreds" of domestic violence incidents over his 30 years in the league. Today, he s...
Definitively Proving Existence Of Higher Power, Nike Sues CrossFit

Trinidad & Tobago Women's Soccer Team Gets Unlikely Help From Haiti
On Wednesday we wrote about the Trinidad & Tobago women's soccer team, which arrived in the U.S. for World Cup qualifying with just about $500 to its name. That wasn't nearly enough to cover the food, travel, and equipment needed for the next three weeks. But fans and colleagues have stepped up to h...

U.S. Champ Tyler Pennel Tells You How To Not Fuck Up Your First Marathon
Prior to Sunday, Tyler Pennel had never run a marathon. In fact, to prepare for 26.2 miles, the farthest the 26-year-old North Carolina resident had run was 23 miles in training. Didn't matter. Against some of the best (and almost certainly more experienced) runners in the country, Pennel didn't f...
Endurance Is Booming, But Has Leadville Trail 100 Gone Too Far?
Harrison Avenue in Leadville, Colo., is as quirky and canted and laid-back as any mountain town main drag.

Sweet ESPN Martial Arts Broadcast A Throwback To Network's Early Days
If you're old enough to remember any of the 80's, you know that ESPN wasn't always the home to 24-hour jabbering analysts and NFL talk shows. In its more fledgling days, the WWL aired whatever content to which it could obtain rights; thus, Americans were introduced to wacky hat-wearing and fingerg...
Can The Chicago Marathon Get Back In The World-Record Game?
Man, it's rough work to make a world record happen in the marathon. Dennis Kimetto's freshly minted 2:02:57 took a whopping 26 seconds off the previous mark, but think about it—that relatively large improvement works out to a blink per mile, one step in a pothole, a hamstring twinge, a gust of wind....

Jozy Altidore Wants To Go Not Score Goals Somewhere Else
Poor Jozy. The 24-year-old American striker looked to be the Truth as recently as July 2013, when he transferred to English side Sunderland and effectively cemented a starting place on the USMNT after scoring 23 goals in just 21 league games for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar the season prior. But now, he is...
