Following their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder flew from Minneapolis to Chicago for the second leg of a back-to-back. En route, their team plane seems to have wiped out a very tiny UFO:...
Why Fire A Winning Manager?
News just broke that the New York Yankees, a team that well exceeded expectations this season and made it to Game 7 of the ALCS, have fired manager Joe Girardi. Based on a statement Girardi gave to WFAN, this does not appear to be a mutual parting....
News Anchor Eats Spicy Chip, Drinks Coffee, Barfs
People on the internet have been eating some kind of spicy chip and recording their reactions, and I don’t really care to find out more about why this is happening, but no additional information is necessary to watch this unfortunate news anchor barf after trying the snack....

Have You Seen JuJu Smith-Schuster's Bike? [Update]
It’s been a rough week for Steelers rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster. Martavis Bryant is talking shit online about him, he’s landed in the concussion protocol, and now some rapscallion has made off with Smith-Schuster’s prized bicycle. This is bullshit! Give it back!...
T.Y. Hilton Apologizes For Correctly Pointing Out His Teammates Suck<em></em>
The Indianapolis Colts lost 27-0 to the Jaguars on Sunday, and in the process allowed quarterback Jacoby Brissett to be sacked 10 times. The Colts have been losing games like this for awhile now, because the organization does not seem to believe in employing competent offensive lineman, and after th...
Kurt Angle’s Return To Wrestling Was A Beautiful Disaster
WWE was in a bind going into last night’s Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view. A contagious viral illness is going through the Raw locker room. Bray Wyatt was pulled from his match against Finn Balor. Roman Reigns was pulled from the main event, scuttling the Shield reunion....
The Timberwolves' Cool Youths Mushed The Thunder
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:...
The Nationals Fired Dusty Baker Because They're Just Thrashing Around
For a nice cathartic kick, I recommend USA Today’s Bob Nightengale’s take on the Nationals’ dumb but depressingly predictable firing of Dusty Baker, done via telephone Friday:...
Marshawn Lynch Watched Game From The Stands After Ejection, Took The Train Home
After Marshawn Lynch was ejected from last night’s game against the Chiefs for making contact with an official, there were reports that he had immediately changed into street clothes in the locker room and left the stadium. That turned out to not be quite true; Lynch did indeed leave the locker room...
Raiders Win In Wild Finish That Everybody Screwed Up
Oakland topped Kansas City tonight in yet another improbably entertaining Thursday night game, though one that had a finish marred (to some) or spiced up (to others) by errors committed by, in order, the officials, the Raiders, the Chiefs, and the Chiefs again:...
Tipped Pass Leads To 63-Yard TD, Lots Of Cursing
Albert Wilson hauled in a tipped pass to go 63 yards and give Kansas City a 27-21 lead over the Raiders in what’s been a very interesting Thursday night game; subsequently, some very un-FCC-friendly language made its way onto the broadcast, which is what we’re all here for, right?...
The Pistons Couldn't Give Tickets To Their First Game At Detroit's Dumb New Arena Away
There has been much fanfare in Metro Detroit about the $863 million new stadium downtown that serves as the new home for both the Red Wings and the Pistons, which was paid for in part by $324 million in public money from the city and the state. The stadium, which is named after cheap pizza, is by al...
Carmelo Anthony's Son Told Him He Should Go To Oklahoma City
On the eve of the Thunder’s season opener against the Knicks tomorrow, Carmelo Anthony spoke to Marc Stein, now of the New York Times, about the process of switching conferences and leaving New York after six drama-filled and mostly pointless seasons. It has some good Phil Jackson burns that paint t...
Chris Long Will Donate All His 2017 Game Checks To Charitable Causes
Eagles defensive end Chris Long—who skipped the Patriots’ White House visit and supported teammate Malcolm Jenkins’s anthem protest earlier this year—said today that he would be using the rest of the season’s game checks to start the Pledge 10 for Tomorrow campaign....

P.J. Dozier, an undrafted rookie who signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder yesterday and will be wearing the No. 35 jersey for as long as he is with the team, told reporters that his choice in jersey number had nothing to do with Kevin Durant, who wore No. 35 for nine years in Oklahoma City before l...
Angry Idiot Sneaks Onto Field To Berate His Team's Players
Coventry City fans don’t take losing home matches against relegation candidates too lightly, apparently. Hence this Coventry supporter making his way onto the pitch during his team’s 1-0 loss to Forest Green in England’s fourth tier to really make his displeasure felt:...
Alex Smith Calls Out Mike Mitchell For "Extremely Late" And "Flagrant" Hit
Late in the third quarter of this weekend’s loss to the Steelers, Alex Smith escaped third-down pressure and hit Kareem Hunt for a big gain before being brought down after the play by Steelers safety Mike Mitchell. Mitchell was flagged for roughing the passer, and Smith got in his face immediately a...
Yasiel Puig Is The New Normal
There is no wrong choice, really, and also there’s no accounting for taste where extravagant full-body thrusting maneuvers and lusty bat flips are concerned. But my personal favorite Yasiel Puig moment of the MLB playoffs thus far isn’t one of the big ones. This should take nothing away from the tim...
