Rome's Fall Left Britain A Violent, Cityless Hellscape
In the year 350 AD, to paraphrase the historian Robin Fleming, Britain was as Roman a place as anywhere in the Empire. It had a dense network of roads and ports, luxurious villas with mosaic floors and private bathhouses, a profusion of small, prosperous towns that served as markets for regional tra...

Barstool Sports Founder Comes Up With Dumbest Possible Reason To Delete Dumbest Possible Post
Barstool Sports, a blog for dipshits, by dipshits, caught hell Tuesday after senior director of editorial strategy and growth—this does not sound like a real job—Chris Spagnuolo wrote a blog about how Rihanna might be fat. Spagnuolo believed the criticism came because no one read past the headline, ...

Minor Leaguer Escalates Rowdy Brawl By Whipping A Baseball At Opponent [Update]
For a while, this basebrawl was suitably wild without exceeding the bounds of a typical melee. During a Sunday game between the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Dayton Dragons of the Class-A Midwest League, Whitecaps shortstop Daniel Pinero stepped on Jose Siri’s ankle after he stole second. Siri and...
MLB Suspends Bryce Harper And Hunter Strickland For Entertaining Brawl
After a fight like the one that Bryce Harper and Hunter Strickland kicked off this weekend, a raft of suspensions was inevitable. MLB announced this evening that Harper would be suspended for four games and Hunter Strickland will have to sit out six. Both players will appeal the decisions and both r...
North Carolina Baseball's Secret Weapon Is This Dog
The North Carolina Diamond Heels went 47-12 and earned the second overall seed in the NCAA tournament, which starts on Friday.

The Astros Scored 11 Runs In One Damn Inning
The Astros walloped the Twins yesterday in a 16-8 game that turned in Houston’s favor with an 11-run eighth inning, in which the team batted around (and then some) to take a 13-8 lead into the ninth. It was not ideal for the Twins; it was a very good day for the ‘Stros....
Preds Fan Who Threw Catfish On The Ice Charged With Possessing An Instrument Of A Crime, Disrupting A Meeting
The Penguins took a weird Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final last night, winning 5-3 despite going 37 consecutive minutes without recording a shot on goal. Also weird? A Predators fan threw a catfish on the ice, a strange tradition in Nashville that dates to 2003 but has gotten a ton of attention this ...
Let Us Look At Photos Of The Giants And Nationals Punching Each Other
Basebrawls are great when no one gets hurt. Yesterday’s Giants-Nationals throwdown—thanks to Hunter Strickland having a redder ass than a baboon—was a good one, with actual punches landed and enough flying hair to make you wonder if this wasn’t viral shampoo advertising. Let’s relive....
What's Hunter Strickland's Deal?
It’s not a hard and fast rule, but you can usually tell just how selfish and stupid a pitcher’s decision to throw at a batter is by looking at his catcher. Go back to yesterday’s boxing match between Bryce Harper and Hunter Strickland, and notice how Buster Posey had no desire to step out from behin...
What On Earth Was That?
Let’s stipulate that that’s not going to happen again. The Penguins aren’t going to shoot 41.6 percent, as they did in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, because hockey teams don’t just shoot 41.6 percent. At the other end, the Predators aren’t going to again allow four goals on 11 shots (before an em...
