Goateed Doofus Aubrey Huff Whines About Athletes Sharing Political Opinions, Shares Political Opinions

Aubrey Huff, former baseball player and current man who could not possibly be more “divorced but doing great,” seems to be making a post-career pivot into the “angrily recording political rants from unflattering angles” school of punditry. He’s previously raved on Twitter about how Trump is great an...

Paul Pierce Has Spent The Last Day Rotating Over The Flame Like A Rotisserie Chicken

Jackie Bradley Jr.'s Latest Insane Feat Is Robbing A Walk-Off Dong

Wednesday’s Red Sox-Orioles game was much more eventful than you might expect from a game featuring a Red Sox team climbing back from a rotten start and, well, the Orioles, who are trash. Chris Sale took a no-hitter into the sixth inning; later, after losing the no-no, Sale took out his frustration ...

Tim Bontemps of ESPN has just an extremely satisfying summary of Kyrie Irving’s 2018–2019 season as the leader and guiding brain genius of this underperforming Celtics squad.

Mike Fiers Threw A Most Improbable And Very Oakland A's No-Hitter

For the second MLB season in a row, an A’s pitcher has thrown the first no-hitter of the season. That’s a rather unusual feat, given that the A’s rotation has been so famously dinged-up that they opted for a bullpen start in last year’s Wild Card game, but there was plenty about Mike Fiers’s no-no l...

Anthony Rendon Responds To Ejection With Facts And Logic

Nationals slugger Anthony Rendon has previously demonstrated his willingness to call out an MLB umpire over a bad call.

We Demand More Overtimes

Disgraced Racist "British" Political PR Doofus From Seattle: I'm A Cowboy

If you’re familiar with catastrophically incompetent Republican politics and PR doofus Liz Mair at all, first of all I’m so sorry about your brain worms problem.

One Of The Top Voices For Women In Sports Doesn't Think Caster Semenya Is A Woman

It’s difficult to talk about women in sports without talking about the work of Nancy Hogshead-Makar.

She’s spent decades advocating for equality for women in sp...
