Teenaged Red Sox Fan Somehow Not Garbage
Three things that are shit: Teenagers, Red Sox fans, and the city of Boston, a trash town that belongs in the dumpster. So I’m not entirely sure what to make of this:...
Co-Ed Softball Team's Pro-Style Instagram Account Is My Favorite Thing
I would like you to meet the Stinkmitts, a beer-league softball team from Toronto that really understands how to get the most out of social media.

Bellator To Pay More Old People To Fistfight In Public
On Friday night, two famous grandfathers fought in a mixed martial arts match on national television for money. One of the grandfathers was Ken Shamrock, who is 51 and was knocked out in the first round by Kimbo Slice, who is 41. Many expected a depressing bout or possibly a snuff film. It was someh...
The Golden State Warriors Declare Their Love For The CoCo One Last Time
Earlier this season, the Golden State Warriors started one of the best post-victory rituals in the NBA, one that consisted of the team singing and dancing along to O.T. Genasis’s “CoCo” on the team plane. Unfortunately, because “CoCo” is about drugs, they got in a bit of trouble and had to resort to...
RIP Ornette Coleman, Who Confounded Most People And Humbled Us All
“There is a law in what I’m playing, but that law is a law that when you get tired of it, you can change it.” So said incomparable musical innovator Ornette Coleman, who died this morning at the age of 85, and while his career was full of these kinds of delightfully cryptic remarks, few unpack his s...
76ers To Wells Fargo: Give Us Money, Or We Won't Use Your Dumb Name
In an interesting bit of corporate jiu jitsu, the Philadelphia 76ers will cease referring to their home arena as the “Wells Fargo Center”—its corporate-sponsored name—reports the Associated Press. Instead, the 76ers will refer to it as “The Center” or their “home arena,” seemingly in retaliation aft...
Chris Heston Threw His No-Hitter In Front Of His Little League Coach
Here’s a neat story to go along with Giants pitcher Chris Heston’s unconventional no-hitter. One of the people in the crowd at Citi Field last night was a guy from Florida named Brad Thomsen, who happens to have coached Heston from little league all the way through high school....
P.K. Subban Stops By Street Hockey Game, Punks Little Goalie
Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban crashed a street hockey game in Montreal Sunday and took a few shots. Overlook the fact that Subban’s wearing sandals with jeans, and instead focus on him playing against an overmatched kid in pads....

Everything about this video of two young fans fist-bumping Andrew McCutchen is perfect. ...
Steph Curry's Sports Baby Is Back. This One's For The Haters.
Riley Curry, top sports baby in the game right now, was back on the postgame dais to help her dad celebrate winning the Western Conference Finals. Her performance last night was dedicated to all the trash people who had a problem with her debut....
The Nats Are Making A Mess Of Their Uniforms, My God
This season, the Nationals have taken up the rather messy celebratory anointing of players with chocolate syrup. The Washington Post put together a explainer that promises “a comprehensive look” at the origins and impact of the ritual dousing of ice cream toppings, as well as instructions for “how y...

How To Cook Some Tasty (For Once!) Cabbage, For St. Patrick's Day
I love St. Patrick's Day. I know it's terribly unfashionable to admit so, but I love it all: I love the wearing of the green, I love the dogs in costume, I love the KISS ME I'M IRISH buttons. Give me a pair of glittered, bobbly shamrocks affixed to a headband and I'm one bonny Irish lass. The gree...
News Dude Cries At The Sight Of Sharon Van Etten, Is A Good News Dude
Look, man, it's hard to be moved by things these days. Show me something that isn't Russell Westbrook going coast to coast for a two-handed slam in five seconds, and there's a good chance that my response is going to be, "That's butt." The problem is that a lot of things are butt, but what is defini...
How One Of America's Greatest Sportswriters Disappeared
It was almost endearing how an ink-smudged, deadline-addicted newspaper editor of yore would squint through the smoke from his cigarette and ask a bright young man why the hell he wanted to write sports. An editor like that was usually about as sensitive as a bolt cutter, but he couldn't resist th...
Anthony Mason Was From The Future
We'll mostly remember Anthony Mason for toughness, the way that we remember the Riley-era Knicks teams on which he made his reputation. Which, fine. He got in fights, on- and off-court; he deployed his elbows and extra-large ass with abandon and occasional malice; he glowered and wheedled and pro...
