This Is A Damn Fine Defensive Play
Gwang-Min Song of the Hanwha Eagles is here to remind us that playing third base is not a job for the faint of heart. Sometimes you get balls ripped at you at 100 mph, and sometimes you have to deal with some bullshit like this:...
Footy Fight!
Tonight’s AFL matchup between Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions featured a good-ass fight late in the third quarter, as Lance Franklin and Nick Robertson took some time out to beat up on each other. Yet another reason why this sport is superior to the NFL: while the Aussie announcers have themselves a...
Barron Trump Is A Gooner
At this point, the only foreign policy position I’m interested in hearing from the White House is whether Barron is or is not #WengerOut....
Referee Blunders Spur On Real Madrid's Murdalization Of Bayern Munich
Real Madrid scored three goals in about 10 rampaging minutes of extra time against 10-man Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals to win 4-2, and advance to the semifinals, 6-3 on aggregate. And while Bayern blew it and Real made the plays they needed to win it, it’s hard not to come awa...
Vince Young Will Attempt A Comeback In The CFL
Amid a flurry of NFL free agency moves on Thursday, 33-year-old former NFL quarterback Vince Young announced his triumphant return to football with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders....
Glory Boy Cyclist Celebrates Too Early, Loses Race
Australian sprinting wunderkind Caleb Ewan appears to be the real deal, and he was in position to beat out all of the world’s best sprinters this morning at the Abu Dhabi Tour. Instead, he learned a tough lesson about celebrating after you cross the line, not before, when someone can still catch you...
Purdue's Caleb Swanigan Is Great, But Lamar Stevens Dunked All Over Him
Purdue escaped State College on Tuesday night largely unscathed, claiming a 74-70 overtime win against Penn State; star forward Caleb Swanigan wasn’t so lucky....
The Raptors Are Sliding And Kyle Lowry Is Giving Ominous Quotes
“Keeping the same situations over and over, and not being successful, something’s gotta give, something’s gotta change,” said Kyle Lowry after the Raptors pissed away a 16-point lead over the Pistons to lose their 10th game in 14 outings. Some of those were particularly ugly for a team that fancies ...
Spurs Almost Lose To Fourth Division Wycombe Wanderers
Tottenham Hotspur avoided embarrassment by only the tiniest of margins in the FA Cup today, trailing the fourth-division Wycombe Wanderers for most of the day before escaping with the late win. Down 2-0 at halftime to the League 2 team and tied 3-3 as they went into stoppage time, a final goal from ...
Korean Bat-Flipping Hero Will Leave His Bat Flip In Korea
If you know anything about Korean infielder Jae-gyun Hwang, it’s that the man can flip a damn bat. I mean, just look at that beaut....
Paid Political Hacks Are Scum
Turns out that Robby Mook was the perfect campaign manager for Hillary Clinton after all. He’s just like his boss: can’t win an election, but can get rich giving revolting speeches afterwards....
Caleb Ewan Is Ready To Be A Star
The first race of the road cycling season, Australia’s Tour Down Under, tends to be an imprecise predictor of future form for climbers and all-rounders. A rider who is keyed in and prepared to tackle Old Wilunga Hill at the season-opening kangaroo fest (really) will not necessarily be able to carry ...
Bob Bradley Fired By Swansea City
Less than three months after becoming the first American to manage a club in the Premier League, Bob Bradley has been sacked by Swansea today. Unfortunately, it is well-deserved....
Ex-UConn Soccer Player Sues School After Losing Scholarship Over Middle Finger
In 2014, then-UConn women’s soccer freshman Noriana Radwan flipped off the ESPNU camera in a fit of excitement after the Huskies won their conference championship. I don’t think it reveals too much bias to say the act was, however shocking (not that shocking), effectively harmless....
Bob Bradley On Verge Of Becoming First Ever American Premier League Manager To Be Fired
Well, shit. So much for that American takeover of the Premier League. According to a report from the Telegraph, Swansea manager and American pioneer Bob Bradley is already under threat of losing his job, just two months into the gig....
Dele Alli Can Do Whatever The Hell He Wants
The first goal in Tottenham Hotspur’s (sorely necessary) rout of Swansea City this weekend was scored by Harry Kane—a penalty kick awarded in the 39th minute, after Dele Alli went down in the box under a challenge from Kyle Naughton. It was, as even the most loyal Spurs supporter can admit, a dive....
Fucking Up Swansea's Shit Is Just What Spurs Need To Start Having Fun Again
It’s been an odd start to the 2016-17 Premier League campaign for Tottenham Hotspur: Sitting fifth after 13 matches played, Spurs suffered their first defeat just last weekend to a Chelsea side currently playing some of the most dominant football in Europe. Normally, this would not be such a bad pos...
Bob Bradley Becomes First American Manager To Win Premier League Game
With a 5-4 Swansea City victory over Crystal Palace, Bob Bradley became the first American manager to win a game in the Premier League....
Oh Hell Yeah Baby, The American Premier League Takeover Is Well Underway
“My seeds, run with his seeds, marry his seeds,” Ghostface once remarked, explaining the strategy by which an influx of money amongst a tight-knit group of individuals can be kept, collected, and grown into a sum that benefits the group for generations. He continued, “That’s how you keep Wu-Tang mon...
Paul Pogba Finally Played Like Paul Pogba
Most every great player has a signature move, a thing they do to or with or around the ball that immediately clarifies for you that that one of 10 uniformly colored little blurs out there running with the ball is in fact, say, Arjen Robben and not Philipp Lahm. (In that instance, it’s Robben’s dangl...
