Can Spain Redeem Themselves After The Netherlands Thrashing?
Tiki-taka is dead. The Dutch killed it. Of course, every time Spain or Barcelona lose a major match tiki-taka is proclaimed dead, only to rise again. The truth is tiki-taka remains effective—Bayern won their league and Barcelona came within a Diego Godín header of doing the same—so long as you have ...

Photoshop Contest: The Redskins Logo
Now that the racist name of Dan Snyder's football team has had its trademark canceled, we decided this was as good a time as any to have a Photoshop contest. You know how this works: take the Redskins logo, do awful and funny things to it in Photoshop (I'm sure there's some new merchandising opportu...
There Is Now A College Bowl Game Sponsored By Bitcoin
ESPN has found a new sponsor for the St. Petersburg Bowl, jettisoning Beef O'Brady's in favor of...wait for it...Bitcoin. Yes, there is going to be a college bowl game next year that will be sponsored by the made-up crypto-currency that your annoying libertarian cousin won't shut up about. ...

Robin van Persie's Header Looks Even More Amazing From Another Angle
We're through one full round of World Cup games, and Robin van Persie's rainbow header remains the best goal of the tournament. You've probably watched it 50 times by now, but you should really see it again from this alternate angle, which really hammers home just how incredible Daley Blind's pass w...
Everyone's Played At The World Cup. What Do We Think We've Learned?

Brewers Catcher Jonathan Lucroy's Anti-Cardinals All-Star Ad Is Perfect

How Mexico Beat Brazil, 0-0
Brazil's attack came in wave after wave after wave, but no matter how hard Neymar and the boys crashed in on goal, Mexico's granite keeper Memo Ochoa stood solid and repelled each and every one. To say he single-handedly saved a point would be to give the rest of his body too little credit....
Hannibal Buress Did A Great Job "Covering" Game 6 Of The Finals Today

It's The 20-Year Anniversary Of The Greatest Prank Call Of All Time
The O.J. Simpson car chase had its share of memorable moments. For you, maybe it was the absurdity of a white Ford Bronco leading a phalanx of police well under the speed limit, or the knowledge that Simpson had a gun to his head, or Al Cowlings telling police "You know who I am, goddammit" or just ...
