The Cubs Were Screwed By The Worst Strike Three Call Of The Season, Maybe Of All Time

Tigers Outfielder Generously Guides Kyle Seager's Third Dinger Over The Outfield Wall

It says something about the state of baseball that the least interesting thing about this play, from the top of the ninth inning of an 11–6 Mariners win over the Tigers, is that it was Kyle Seager’s third dinger of the night. Multi-homer games are so common now that they’re becoming passé—for crying...

NFL Owners Have Always Been Terrible. It's Just That Now The President Is Worse.

The Big President Is Now Wet

Donald Trump goes by many names, but none is more apt than “the Big Wet President,” coined by our David Roth.

WWE's Part-Timer Disease Is Now A Year-Round Problem

Monday’s episode of Raw closed with The Miz hosting a contract signing for what was supposed to be a SummerSlam match with Dolph Ziggler, which certainly sounds like typical WWE stuff.

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is an old rich white guy, which means he is also a fan of Donald Trump, or at least he is the kind of person who appreciates Trump’s policies enough to throw the man a fancy fundraiser in the Hamptons. One person who does not appreciate Donald Trump, nor his boss co...

A new analysis of the deal to build a stadium for MLS’s FC Cincinnati shows it will cost taxpayers $213 million, or more than four times what was described in the 2017 agreement between city and county leaders and the team’s ownership.

Calgary Cut $60M In Social Services One Day After Endorsing $275M For A New Flames Arena

The Flames’ new arena deal, endorsed by the mayor and city council just a week before a (rubber-stamp) vote to be held Tuesday, is a great deal for the Flames and their billionaire ownership, and thus not a good deal for the city of Calgary. It looks even worse after what the council did about 24 ho...
