Justin Bieber, Carrie Underwood, The Weeknd, And More Iso Vocals From Last Night's Awards Shows 

While you were busy watching Wrestlemania or The Walking Dead or something, a pair of second-tier awards shows aired—one sponsored by a bullshit media company tied into this weekend’s Final Four, and the other just another one of country music’s 184 occasions upon which to celebrate itself. We picke...

John Oliver RUDELY INTERRUPTS Yankees Grounds Crew's "Y.M.C.A." Performance, LOUDLY FARTS Directly Onto George Steinbrenner Monument In Front Of His Sons

The Yankees suck. You knew this—their new policies prohibit print-at-home tickets, a move specifically designed to stop fans from reselling premium seats at below-face-value prices. When asked why, COO Lonn Trost said it’s to protect rich fans from having to sit next to the poors. Luckily for your e...

The Rock Showed Up With A Flamethrower And, Holy Shit, John Cena Came Back

This was supposed to just be a goofy post about how The Rock showed up on Wrestlemania again with a silly prop (this time, a flamethrower) but then he did this:...

Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, & "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Return To Wrestlemania

“Attitude Era” WWE stars Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin returned to the ring tonight at Wrestlemania to defend New Day’s honor against the League of Nations, with the, uh, veteran wrestlers performing their famous finishing moves of Sweet Chin Music, the Mandible Claw (wit...

Wrestlemania Kicks Off In Front Of Half-Empty Jerry World After Ticketing Mishap [UPDATE]

Baseball Is Back And Thank Fucking God

At last, the death-gods have released their cold, icy grip on the United States; the trees are green, the birds are singing, and our greatest sport has returned. While there’s just too much to keep track of in terms of who’s where and what’s what and who’s going to do what and such—FiveThirtyEight, ...

Adrien Broner Tries To Call Out Floyd Mayweather, Turns Self Into Laughingstock

A D.C. crowd featuring mayor Muriel Bowser and Steve Francis scornfully mocked Adrien Broner after the boxer clumsily tried to call a ringside Floyd Mayweather Jr. back into boxing....

Dimitri Payet Is On A Roll

West Ham United took a 2-1 lead against Crystal Palace into the intermission after a Dimitri Payet free kick that rendered Wayne Hennessey completely useless. Payet’s been on fire of late; he had an even more sick free kick earlier this week against Russia....

The Portland Jail Blazers: An Appreciation

Honey, you can’t make it to the top without at some point scraping the cold, hard bottom. For the Portland Trail Blazers, their highest high (not a pun) came during the 1999-2000 NBA season, which they rode all the way to the Western Conference finals for the second year in a row, and almost made it...

You Should Have Sex to Maxwell’s <i>Urban Hang Suite</i>

There’s a handful of artists who universally earn a spot on everyone’s sex playlists. Janet, Sade, Prince, etc. Their slow jams, classic and fuck-to-able, are made for cramming between the likes of the new Rihanna (“Yeah I Said It”) and that one flawless Weeknd song you squirm along to (“Earned It”)...

Russell Westbrook On Reggie Jackson's Celebration: "Some Real Bullshit"

Last night’s game mattered a hell of a lot more to the Pistons than it did to the Thunder. OKC is locked into the third seed in the West, and rested Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka. Detroit is sitting in the seven-spot in the East and their odds of making the postseason look good after pulling away fro...

Aww, Look At These Real Soccer Players Letting The Goalie Score For Once

This is quite remarkable. Not the goal itself—which West Ham’s Adrián scored in a meaningless testimonial match—but the impulse behind it....

Pro Cyclist Antoine Demoitié Dies After Getting Hit By Motorcycle During Race (UPDATE)

Twenty-five year old Belgian cyclist Antoine Demoitié was racing at Gent Wevelgem for Wanty-Groupe Gobert this morning, when he was hit by a race motorcycle after crashing.

Brewers Pitcher Will Smith Tore His Knee While Trying To Take Off His Shoes

Spring training is the worst time for a ballplayer to get injured, but for some reason, every spring training injury happens to be a very dumb injury. Last year, we had Michael Saunders stepping on a sprinkler head and tearing his meniscus, Scooter Gennett cutting his finger on a stray shampoo bottl...
