David Moyes Is The Most Interested Man In The World
Southampton fired Mark Hughes today after finally realizing what was evident to just about everyone the day he got the manager position there, which is that things were almost certainly not going to work out. And like your unemployed cousin who desperately needs a job so he can finally move out of y...
Bills DE Jerry Hughes Screams At Ref For Calling Him A "Bitch" Then Claims Not To Remember Incident
Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes confronted a referee in the tunnel after the Bills’ very stupid loss to the Miami Dolphins, accusing the referee of calling him a “bitch.” Hughes yelled, “I’ll catch you,” before Bills personnel stood between him and the referees. ...
Here Is a Truly Putrid Basketball Sequence
The Bucks lost to the Hornets yesterday, thanks largely to the following sequence in which they missed what feels like 15 shots in what feels like five seconds. There’s no one standout here, as every single Milwaukee player’s ability to trip over himself is remarkable and laudable; a special note of...
Brett Kavanaugh's Still Coaching Basketball
Brett Kavanaugh’s still got coaching on his calendar after all. ...
James McClean's Refusal To Wear The Poppy Has Made Him The Most Hated Man In English Soccer
In England, Halloween ends and gives way to November in various ways: Pumpkins left on doorsteps begin their neglected descent into rot; the seasonal coffee flavoring changes to gingerbread; James McClean begins receiving death threats from a certain brand of soccer fan, including among his own supp...
Gosh, I Really Hope The Red Wings Can Manage To Win A Game This Year
They tried really hard. That’s really the best thing you can say about the Red Wings’ relatively close but still inevitable 3-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday night. The Wings hung with the Bolts throughout the whole game, but eventually found themselves outdone by just a top-notch performance fr...
<i>Emergency Football Show Weekly</i>: The Roughing The Passer Rule Continues To Vex Defenders
It’s the second episode of Emergency Football Show Weekly, and what are we talking about this week? Lots! We discuss Antonio Brown’s game-winning catch against the Bengals, the continued roughing the passer rule controversy and, of course, Dick Stockton calling the Denver Broncos “the Denver Nuggets...
T.J. Watt Got Fined $20,000 For Breathing Near Matt Ryan's Leg
The start of this NFL season has been marked, over and over again, the softest possible roughing the passer penalties. Defenders are not allowed to land on top of quarterbacks, which means that they must somehow levitate or something after completing a sack. The rule was tweaked to emphasize protect...
Hugh Freeze Gets New Job In Football League That Doesn't Exist Yet
Former Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze, who lost his job after details of his escort-calling came to light, has been looking to get back into coaching football for over a year. He recently blamed the “climate in America” on his persisting joblessness, but he can now put those complaints to bed. Hugh...
Fire The Suns Into The Sun
The Suns fired GM Ryan McDonough on Monday. Firing McDonough makes sense, as he has proven himself to be very bad at building a coherent NBA roster, let alone one capable of winning more games than it loses. Firing him nine days before the start of the regular season is just more flailing absurdity ...
Prosecutor In Farcical Brett Kavanaugh Hearing Was Part Of Same Office That Let Kevin Johnson Walk Away From Sex Abuse Charges
Rachel Mitchell, the GOP hired gun who shot blanks during last week’s Brett Kavanaugh hearing, told Republican senators immediately after the public fiasco (but before the FBI investigation had begun) that she would not have prosecuted the nominee for his alleged assault of Christine Blasey Ford....

Report: Former NBA Try-Hard Chris Dudley Once Allegedly Smashed A Pint Glass On Someone's Head While Defending Brett Kavanaugh
Hopeless free-throw shooter and failed gubernatorial candidate Chris Dudley was pals and drinking buddies with Brett Kavanaugh when the two attended Yale together from 1983 to 1987. Where young Brett tried and failed to make the men’s basketball team, Dudley was the team’s star center and went on to...
The NFL Re-Emphasizes Its Emphasis On A Rule No One Understands
During Sunday’s Raiders-Dolphins game, as a replay sequence that included the above clip was shown to viewers, the CBS broadcast crew had the following conversation:...
Some Types Of Pain Are More Valuable Than Others
It’s both a truism and true that politics is about power, how it’s used and who it’s used against. But politics are also about the business of pain—about which individuals and which communities bear how much and at what cost, and so implicitly whose pain is worth more than others. Everyone lives in ...
Brett Kavanaugh Really, Really Likes Beer
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh spoke many words at today’s confirmation hearings. Probably you know this already, but his opening statement, and the responses that followed, were an overlong fever dream, taking surreal detours into calendar hygiene, workouts with some now-legendary Tobin, his...
The Horror On TV
That all of this—the unalloyed and dovetailing lust for power of one white male sociopath and the aggregate of white men, the future of the highest judicial body in the country, that country’s total failure to assign any kind of consequence to sexual violence, America’s marrow-deep hatred and fear a...
Kawhi Leonard Has Laughed At Least Eight Times In His Life
After Monday’s press conference, the biggest question surrounding Kawhi Leonard isn’t whether he will be healthy and happy enough to take the Toronto Raptors to the top of the East, but, “Wait, does he really laugh like that?” Thankfully, this compilation of Leonard laughs throughout the years shows...
Conservative D.C. Is A Bunch Of Weird-As-Hell Nationals Fans
There’s no reason to know who Ben Hobbs is. He’s one of the anonymous ideology droids that fill Washington D.C.’s less-interesting condominiums, pad out its cocktail parties, and ensure that its steakhouse banquettes never get cold. When Republicans are in power, he will work in government; when the...
Brett Kavanaugh Is <em></em>A Man The Right Can Get Behind
Shit’s real weird now....
