Browns: Don't Worry, Our Trade Fuck-Up Wasn't A Strategic Move, It Was Just A Fuck-Up
It requires a pretty deep trust in the Browns’ incompetence to believe that their attempt to trade with the Bengals for A.J. McCarron was really undone by their own inability to file simple paperwork in a timely manner. Trust in the Cleveland Browns’ incompetence is pretty well-placed trust, sure, b...
The Yankees Seem To Be Looking For A Manager Who Doesn't Exist
Nearly two weeks after the Yankees decided to let manager Joe Girardi walk, nothing has emerged to make their decision seem any less confusing than it did at the time. Some fresh commentary on the situation from general manager Brian Cashman did nothing to clear it up....
Building A Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame Is A Lot Easier Said Than Done

Taylor Swift's Lawyer Sends Deranged Letter Over Blog Suggesting She's An Alt-Right Sympathizer

Markelle Fultz Is Shooting Left-Handed Jumpers, For Some Reason
No. 1 overall pick Markelle Fultz is currently unable to play for the Sixers due to an injury to his right shoulder. Since he’s right-handed, the injury has prevented him from shooting a basketball, and yet there he was today during a team practice, shooting jumpers ... with his left hand....
Here Are Some Young NBA Players Who Are Butt
Many of the NBA youths are fun and good. Kristaps Porzingis, Ben Simmons, et cetera. Good youths. But in addition to the fun and good ones, there are also some youths who are sorry butt scrubs. Here is a list of some of that latter group....
Let's Remember This Deion Sanders Inside-The-Park Homer
Tony Romo dropped a minor burn on Deion Sanders during the CBS broadcast yesterday, noting that Kansas City’s Marcus Peters “makes Deion Sanders looks good at tackling.” Sanders responded on TV with a Stephen-A.-inspired monologue....

West Ham Set To Give David Moyes Another Chance To Fail
West Ham, despite having no reason to, have sucked for the better part of a year now. Because of this, today they’ve finally decided to fire manager Slaven Bilić. Probably a smart move. What probably isn’t a smart move is entrusting this squad of very talented attackers to David Moyes, an old, stodg...
Holy Crap, You Can Finally See The Shape Of The Knicks' Future
Kristaps Porzingis just began his third season, and somehow it feels like we’ve waited a decade for him to have a competent point guard.

Washington's Failed Interception Return On A Two-Point Conversion Was Meaningless Fun

It's Time For The Giants To Move On From Eli Manning
The Giants are 1-7 and after the season they’re going to clean house. Being bad is bad enough, but being bad in a season in which they were trendy Super Bowl contenders is going to cost coach Ben McAdoo his job, and maybe GM Jerry Reese his, and possibly even spell the end of Eli Manning’s time in N...
Nobody Tell Cam Newton What Happened To The <i>Titanic</i>
It was a big Sunday for the Panthers, who beat the Falcons 20-17 and stayed a half-game back of the Saints for the NFC South lead. It was also the first game without WR Kelvin Benjamin, who was surprisingly shipped to the Bills last week. Cam Newton rolled with it, and compared it to something like ...
How Ben McAdoo Rallied The Giants At Halftime: “Um”
The Giants got rolled by the Rams 51-17. At halftime, the score was just 27-10. Not close, either, but in the realm of possibility that the Giants could catch up. ...
Kirk Cousins And Josh Doctson Slide Their Way To A Win In Seattle
