<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i> Columnist Joe Cowley Rides A Plane, Degrades Women Everywhere
Ever since Jay Marrioti fell off the face of the planet, the Chicago Sun-Times has been a little light in the abusive-toward-females department.

The eight-seeded L.A. Kings jumped out to a 1-0 lead in their series against St. Louis with a 3-1 win continuing a remarkable streak of success that suggests maybe fan favorite Jack Johnson, jettisoned in a trade to Columbus near the deadline, was more clubhouse cancer than Brushfire Fairytale....

Was This Former Saints Electrician The Source For ESPN's Wiretapping Story?
FOX8 in New Orleans claims to have identified ESPN's source for the Mickey Loomis wiretapping story, and if they're right, it wasn't anyone intimately connected with football operations. Instead, FOX8 (a station owned by Saints owner Tom Benson) claims it was Tim Landry, a sound and electrical worke...
This Is The Face Of A Hockey Player

Do You Deserve That Foul Ball? Consult This Handy Chart

Here's How Racists On Twitter Reacted to Joel Ward's Series-Winning Goal Against Boston
Joel Ward is a light-scoring winger for the Capitals, who was in the right place and the right time to put home the overtime series-winner to send Washington past Boston in game 7. Completely unrelated, for most of us, is that Ward's parents were Barbadian immigrants to Toronto. So there were a good...

How A White Person Gets His Hair Cut In America Today
I went to get my hair cut the other day. I meant to get it cut a month earlier, but my wife went into early labor and had a kid and the kid had to stay in the NICU forever and there's no good time in the middle of all that to be like, "Excuse me, guys. Daddy needs some time for Daddy at the beauty p...
Andruw Jones Used A Rangers Fan As His Outfield Toss Warmup Partner Tonight
Yankees outfielder (and former Ranger) Andruw Jones had some fun with a Texas fan tonight before the bottom of the ninth inning of New York's 7-4 win.
