Fuck Sports Bottles<em></em>

I thought I was done. My kids were no longer babies, which meant no more formula, which meant no more time laboring at the sink, hand-washing 90 separate Dr. Brown’s bottle parts and leaving them soaking on a dishtowel to dry. That part of my life, as far as I was concerned, was over....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
