MLB Will No Longer Allow The Oakland A's To Pretend To Be A Small-Market Team
If you’re fed up with hearing about the Oakland Athletics’ half-assed quest to find a new stadium, MLB and the MLBPA want you to know they’re right there with you.

County That Is $1 Billion In Debt Goes Looking For Money To Pay For Cavaliers' Arena Renovations
What happens when an NBA team wants to steal tax dollars in order to pay for arena renovations, but the county it wants to steal from is literally out of money? Does the billionaire who owns the team just go ahead and pay for the renovations himself? Of course not!...
Despair Is The Best Way To Beat Jet Lag, But These Might Work Too
After a few years of not leaving these fine United States, this month I flew around the world and back twice, due to poor planning on my part and unmovable family obligations.

Get A Load Of This Ascot-Wearing, Wine-Toting Anti-Trump Philadelphia Vandal
Last week, two men spray painted “FUCK TRUMP!” on the wall of a Philadelphia Fresh Market. (That’s like a cut-rate Whole Foods.)

Football And Officials Go Flying In Wild Grey Cup Play
Ottawa is stomping Calgary in tonight’s Canadian Super Bowl, which is one of the most entertaining football events of the year but which gets next to no promotion or notice by ESPN, the CFL’s U.S. broadcast partner.

Kris Humphries Shatters Backboard, Ends Practice Early
The simplest way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to create an excuse centered on yourself: you’re sick, your grandmother died, etc. The most effective way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to ruin that something entirely: why sit on the bleachers with a feigned headache...
