Rasheed Wallace On Flint Water Crisis: "It Looks Like A Third-World Country"
The Flint water crisis has gotten less publicity as the year has gone on, but it’s still an ongoing disaster and criminal investigations of those responsible are still active.

Sixers-Kings Game Cancelled After Philadelphia Stadium Sweats All Over Everything
The Sixers were supposed to tip off against the Kings at 7:07 tonight, but instead of some incompetent basketball, fans in Philly were treated to a bunch of dudes mopping a floor for 20 minutes. Officials decided to postpone the game shortly after, but didn’t make an announcement for an hour. The mo...
Liverpool Are Running Riot
On current form, Liverpool are nigh unstoppable. Against Watford today they started their customary six midfielders up front—and two more in defense—and thrashed their opponent 6-1.

Report: Eddie Lacy Fat Again
Packers running back Eddie Lacy’s weight is under constant scrutiny by both his coaches and the media, and head coach Mike McCarthy has publicly pleaded with Lacy to lose weight in the past. Things were looking good this offseason when Lacy reported to camp in shape, but he seems to have backslid th...
Fox Sports Is Extremely Lazy
Several of you noted Fox used the bizarre image above—one of injured Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, but with current Minnesota QB Sam Bradford’s face pasted on—during this afternoon’s NFL broadcast, but that’s far from the first time we’ve seen the image pop up. In fact, it made its debut si...
Lamar Jackson Got Choked, Lost, And Still Had An Amazing Game
Deshaun Watson and the Clemson Tigers beat Louisville 42-36 Saturday night, but Cardinals QB Lamar Jackson drew the most attention. Determining a Heisman winner this early into the season is foolish, so I won’t, but even the “bad” version of Jackson was fantastic....
It's Probably Time To Start Worrying About Sammy Watkins
Star Buffalo Bills receiver Sammy Watkins had surgery to repair a broken foot in the offseason, but was supposed to be fully healthy and ready to play by the time the season started.

Report: J.J. Watt Re-Injured His Back, Possibly Out For The Season

This Video Of A Guy Executing Fish With A Pistol Is Actually Good Because Lionfish Suck
I think every non-sociopath’s first instinct when seeing the title card of the video above—which lives up to its billing, as this is indeed a four-minute clip of a man equipped with a waterproof Glock who uses it to “fish” for lionfish—is one of dread. Oh no, you worry, accurately. Am I really about...

This Woman Actually Got Donald Trump To Shut The Fuck Up
Donald Trump is in Flint, Mich. today to broadcast that he is at least aware of the city’s ongoing clean water crisis—many, many months after it became a full-fledged disaster. Trump’s hastily arranged stopover has already been condemned by Flint’s mayor and its residents, and this afternoon he got ...
Flint's Crim Races Shifted $40,000 From Prizes To Provide Free Entries
The Bobby Crim 10-Mile is one of those legacy road races, birthed in the heyday of U.S. distance running, 1977, that popped up in unlikely places like Davenport, Iowa, or Falmouth, Mass., or in this case, Flint, Mich. Almost immediately, Crim attracted a top competitive field—Greg Meyer, Bill Rodger...
Judgment At Urineberg: Did Hillary Get Pneumonia Because She Hates Peeing?<em></em>
So of course by now you’ve seen the distressing video of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton teetering and wobbling as a phalanx of staffers try to stuff her into a bitchin’ black conversion van at a 9/11 memorial ceremony this past Sunday. Here it is again:...
A Regular Person’s Guide To Apple’s New Phones (And Other Useless Shit)<em></em>
Well, well, well. Apple, Inc., a cash-hoarding operation that occasionally does online strip shows, announced a new line of consumer electronics today. There are places to revel in the minutia of every last tech spec, but I promise that you are not interested in processors and megapixels nearly as m...
Vikings Announce That Teddy Bridgewater's Knee Is All Fucked Up
After Teddy Bridgewater crumpled to the ground with a non-contact injury this afternoon, reports out of Vikings camp were grisly yet unspecific. Everyone on the scene had players forming prayer circles, barfing, and crying, but word on a specific diagnosis didn’t come for a while longer. This evenin...

Which Olympic Sport Would Be Most Likely To Literally Kill You?
I’m watching water polo right now, and it was maybe 20 minutes into the match, as the players yet again swam from one end of the pool to another on a change of possession, that I realized I would just give up then and there. I’m a fine enough swimmer, but it’s exhausting just to toss around a frisbe...
Hurling Loser Consoled By Opposing Fan Who Stormed Field To Celebrate
Here’s a nice story from this weekend’s All-Ireland hurling semi-final replay between Kilkenny and Waterford. The latter’s Pauric Mahony had a “free” that could have tied the match for his team in the final minute; instead, it fell just short. Mahony—who had already scored nine points in the match—c...
