The Indianapolis Colts lost 27-0 to the Jaguars on Sunday, and in the process allowed quarterback Jacoby Brissett to be sacked 10 times.

When Carmelo Anthony’s high-arcing three from the left wing splashed in, to give his Oklahoma City Thunder a 113-112 fourth-quarter lead over the Timberwolves last night, it also left just under five seconds on the game clock. Time enough for Minnesota’s Andrew Wiggins to do this:...

Everton Fire Ronald Koeman, Who Really Fucked This Up
There are a few easy ways to define the worst team in the Premier League. One of them is to find the team with the least amount of talent. Another is to find the team most likely to get relegated.

The Houston Astros are headed to their second World Series after claiming the American League pennant for the first time, downing the Yankees in the ALCS’s deciding seventh game 4-0 thanks to five shutdown innings from starter Charlie Morton, some well-timed defense, and Lance McCullers Jr. shreddin...
