The Nats Are Gone, But Bryce Harper's Taters Are A Joy Forever
The Washington Nationals were bounced from the postseason last night, but not before Bryce Harper did the thing he's been doing all series and murdered one last baseball into the sky....
Giants Outlast Nationals To Advance to NLCS
There was a moonshot of a home run, a phenomenal defensive gem, a solid pitching performance, and questionable managerial decisions. But when a fluky series came down to a fluky play, the Giants won 3–2 against the Nationals because they always seem to get a fluky play or two in the postseason....
University Of Alabama Relents, Daisha Simmons Will Play At Seton Hall
The saga of former Alabama basketball player Daisha Simmons looks like it is finally coming to an end.

If you'...
Cardinals Beat Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw On Three-Run Homer
The crucial talking point preceding Game 4 between the Dodgers and Cardinals was "sample size." That mainly had to do with Dodgers manager Don Mattingly's decision to bench Yasiel Puig and start Andre Ethier in the outfield instead because of Puig's struggles in the first three games of the series. ...
Florida Teammates Get Into Fight Over Cleats; Police Called
Florida quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg—yes, son of Marty—and a teammate fought each other Monday night at Florida's stadium, allegedly over a pair of cleats. Things got stupid and nasty enough that the cops had to be called. ...
Is The Redskins' "VIP" Indian Defender A Fake Indian?
Mark One Wolf was, for a time, a favored native in Dan Snyder's fight to save the "Redskins" nickname. "Native American backing team name is VIP at practice," read a Richmond Times-Dispatch headline. It was accompanied by an Associated Press photo of One Wolf in profile, as if to echo the team's l...
Report: NBA Bans Sexy-Ass Songs From German Cheerleaders' Routine
German basketball club Alba Berlin will take on the San Antonio Spurs in an exhibition game Wednesday, but their cheerleaders will be working at half-speed. The NBA apparently nixed three songs from Alba Berlin's squad's routine, on account of the tracks being too sexy, according to German tabloid B...
Richard Sherman Had His Hair Pulled, Responded With Vicious Shit-Talk
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has always walked a fine line between showman and dickbag. After infuriating Pierre Garçon to the point of hair-pulling, and dismissing his football worth entirely, I bet I could guess which side Garçon would come down on....
Madison Bumgarner's Pivotal Error Gives Nationals Game 3 Over Giants
Befitting two teams that took 18 innings to score three stinkin' runs on Saturday night, Game 3 between the Giants and Nationals was a pitcher's duel, for six innings at least. And when the game broke wide open it was mostly due to error, not solid hitting....
It Took 36 Browns QBs 28 Seasons To Match Peyton Manning's 500 TDs
Peyton Manning reached 500 touchdown passes yesterday. Five hundred is an arbitrary number. (A nice, round number that enshrines him in the elite company of one, but arbitrary nonetheless.) How can you truly grasp the weight of an arbitrary number? Set it as the constant, and see how extreme the oth...

Bills Say Someone Shined Laser Pointer On Them; Guy Tweets He Did It

Yusmeiro Petit Was Essentially The Giants' Second Starter Last Night
Yusmeiro Petit has a weird position on the Giants. He was passable as a spot starter, but couldn't earn a place in a strong San Francisco rotation. The Giants don't need him to close out games, either, and Petit is capable of pitching longer than only an inning. But last night, in the longest MLB ...
Wazzu QB Connor Halliday Breaks NCAA Passing Record, Still Loses
Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday threw for 734 yards and six touchdowns last night against Cal. That broke not only David Klingler's 24-year-old FBS record, but the overall NCAA record of 730 for a game that was set by Old Dominion's Taylor Heinicke two years ago. The Cougars still los...
A Florida Vs. Tennessee Update, If You Prefer Horrible Football
