Orlando Arcia Came Out Of Nowhere To Help The Brewers Win The NL Central
Of all the regular players on the Milwaukee Brewers, shortstop Orlando Arcia is almost undeniably the worst. With an on-base percentage of .260, a weakling slugging percentage of .299, and multiple demotions to the minors in 2018, it’s honestly a wonder that this guy even managed to get the start in...
The Last Two Minutes Of The AFL Grand Final Were Thrilling Even If You Don't Know What You're Looking At<em></em>
Here’s two minutes of suspense that can be enjoyed with no context or understanding of Australian rules football. Big boys scrabble for ball. They boot the ball. They boot the ball in between posts. It’s hard not to get riled up by an Australian hollering, “He’s got the most impossible goal,” or by ...
Game 163 Is One More Chance For A Catcher To Take One To The Dick And Balls

Earl Thomas Is Why Le'Veon Bell Holds Out

At least his middle finger still worke...
Mike Gundy's Weekly Phone Call With The Press Got Hacked And The Audio Is Wonderful
Last week, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy went and shot himself in the dick when he attempted to smother any stories about the transfer of receiver Jalen McCleskey by threatening to revoke access from any reporters who asked about McCleskey. On Monday, during his weekly Big 12 coaches call wit...
All You Need Is Spite: A Very Emotional NHL Season Preview
Boys and girls and babes, we all learned so much during the 2017–2018 NHL season. For example, I learned that chaos rules the universe, sports predictions are horoscopes but less accurate, and hockey games are won by pure, defiant, you-said-I-couldn’t-do-it spite and very little else....
Alvin Kamara Never Goes Backwards
Saints running back Alvin Kamara doesn’t look like one of those dense orbs of muscle and tendon that you expect to dish out a great deal of harm to anyone who tries to tackle him. You look at a human medicine ball like LeGarrette Blount, each of whose limbs appear to weigh 200 pounds, and you natura...
What If The Eagles Just Stink?
PHILADELPHIA — It is a sad Monday morning here. Workers head to the office looking dejected. The birds aren’t chirping like they usually do. The Liberty Bell is cracked. The Eagles are 2-2....
Doug Marrone Has Been Waiting Four Years To Stick It To The Jets
The Jaguars beat the Jets 31-12 on Sunday, and it was about as one-sided as an NFL game gets.

But it wasn’t quite enough for Jags head coach Doug Marrone, who sent his team out to go for two in...
Bullshit Overturned First Down Helps Raiders Beat Browns In Overtime

Tom Wilson Is Still Doing Tom Wilson Things

What The Hell Is This ESPN Johnny Manziel Segment?
ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown show is three hours long every week, and there’s only so many times Matt Hasselbeck can say something like, “The Chicago Bears defense just wants to win this week, and you need a defense that wants to win in order to succeed in the National Football League.” So it’s no su...
