Amid Trade Rumors, Marcus Stroman's Twitter Is Driving Everyone A Little Nuts
Marcus Stroman is going somewhere. The Blue Jays starter is having an excellent season, putting up a 3.18 ERA for a woebegone Toronto team in the first half and earning his first all-star election.

Just the other day, in fact, I was folding some laundry and wondering whether he’s capable of controlling a defense with communication, telling a point guard what plays to run by seeing the ...
Men's Pro Teams Express Support For USWNT By Reminding Everyone That Guys Also Play Sports

O.J. Simpson Has Logged On
When an unverified Twitter account with the name TheRealOJ32 posted a video of the former, uhh, Bills running back announcing his entrance into the Twitter world, I’ll admit that I wasn’t 100% convinced that it was real. Even when I decided to quickly share it on this site, there was a small part of...

Hank Haney, who was formerly Tiger Woods’s swing coach, earned some attention last week when his assessment of the field for the LPGA’s U.S. Women’s Open was essentially Hell, I don’t know any of them, but I think a bunch of them are Korean.

Fake Steve Berthiaume Twitter Account Leads To Random Family Crashing Diamondbacks' Booth During Game
Arizona Diamondbacks broadcaster Steve Berthiaume doesn’t use Twitter, but someone on the site is pretending to be him.

Kevin Durant Still Hasn't Logged Off
Seen through the lens of his Drakification, Kevin Durant seems to have entered the “Jaded” period of his NBA career.

Kevin Durant Has Logged On
The biggest downside—or upside, depending on your point of view—to Kevin Durant’s clearly unmild calf injury is that he has more time to spend online. He was already extremely online, even if you’re only counting his main and not his dozen burners, but injured Durant has extra time to contemplate hi...
Magic Johnson Quit His Job So He Could Tweet More And He Seems Very Happy
In the event that you’re offered the job of running the Los Angeles Lakers, you would do well to consider the pros and cons.
