Leonard Williams, We Know What Happened To Your Hookah Parts
Jets defensive lineman Leonard Williams recently ordered some parts for his hookah, but he never got them. Leonard, the cops have your hookah stuff....
Look At How Excited Thomas Davis Is
The Carolina Panthers played with their food (the San Francisco 49ers) for a long time before they finally finished them off this weekend. The defense came up with a touchdown and a pair of picks, but they also allowed Vance McDonald to get loose for a 75-yard touchdown. They’ll be fine, probably, b...
Poorly Disguised Theo Epstein Takes In Cubs Game From The Bleachers
The Chicago Cubs are currently playing the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field, and some fans noticed that they happened to be sitting in the same section as a guy who looks a lot like Cubs GM Theo Epstein....
Dinosaurs Suck Now
If there’s one thing that really upsets me, it is the scientific community’s continued insistence on turning dinosaurs into lame little fuckers. Today brings us news that paleontologists have created the most accurate depiction of a dinosaur in history, which means we now know that the Psittacosauru...
Kid Rock Pauses Ronnie Van Zant Cosplay Just Long Enough To Say, "Fuck Colin Kaepernick!"<em></em>
Kid Rock is still out there doing Kid Rock things, like putting on concerts for people who desperately want to be tricked into thinking they are listening to Lynyrd Skynard or Bob Seger. During one such concert at Fenway Park, Kid Rock took some time out of his performance to share his brief thought...
Tommy Pham Has No Patience For Mouthy Ballhawks
Here is a video, taken before yesterday’s game between the Cardinals and Pirates, that perfectly encapsulates just how insufferable both Cardinals fans and ballhawks can be. ...
Here's An Old "Haters Gonna Say It's Fake" Video From High School-Era Carson Wentz
This one’s pretty self-explanatory. Tipster Ed sent us this video of a young Carson Wentz and his friends fucking around and creating a proto-“Haters gonna say it’s fake” video of themselves throwing paper into the trash. It was uploaded in 2011. It made me laugh much more than I thought it would. T...
Giants Beat Writer Files World's Best, Laziest Column Amid Team's Massive Slump
The San Francisco Giants have been slumping for most of the second half of the season, going 17-31 since the All-Star break and tumbling well behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Nobody connected to the team seems very happy; the Giants called a hitters-only meeting, Bruce Bochy is getting...
Some Fresh Ideas For Jimmy Fallon's Contrived <i>The Tonight Show</i> Games
Sometimes I feel bad for Jimmy Fallon. A key component of his success as a late night host is his and his writing staff’s ability to produce segments that are grist for the viral content mill. These segments usually take the form of a game or competition between Fallon and one or more of his guests,...
I Respect <i>American Ninja Warrior's</i> Complete Lack Of Mercy
I don’t watch American Ninja Warrior all that often, but every time I do I find myself enjoying it far more than I expected. Last night, NBC aired Week 1 of the National Finals, and it was a rad time. Bunches of seasoned competitors were undone by a particularly difficult course, and Jessie Graff be...
Adrian Beltre Lovingly Messes With Switch Pitcher Pat Venditte
Ambidextrous relief pitcher Pat Venditte has been in Major League Baseball for about a year. He’s bounced back and forth between the show and the minors, and Venditte made his Mariners debut this evening. After starter Hisashi Iwakuma was chased after three innings, Venditte stepped in and pitched t...
Look At Bryce Harper
Maybe this is weird to say, but I don’t think any player in baseball is as visually captivating as Bryce Harper. The home runs and helmet-ditching sprints from home to second—all produced by that loopy, torquing swing of his—are an easy sell, but there’s also just something about the way Harper look...
Jason Kipnis Messes With Rougned Odor, Delighting The Rangers Bench
Jason Kipnis turned a nice little double play for the Indians this evening, which started with tagging out a quickly approaching Rougned Odor. Kipnis got the forceout, made the throw under pressure, then came up ready to scrap with the known punch enthusiast. Well, not really....
Cubs Bullpen Confronts Fear, Spits In Its Eye
What do you fear? Death? Loneliness? Small, hard objects flying towards you at high velocity?...
Defending Gold Medalist Diver Scores A Perfect Zero
Ilia Zakharov won the gold medal in the 3m springboard event at the 2012 Olympics. He made it all the way to the semi-finals at this year’s games, and that’s where his quest to win back-to-back golds went very wrong....
The Olympic Diving Pool Color Progression, By Day
As you already know, there have been some problems at the Olympic diving venue in Rio. Organizers’ desperate attempts to get the algae problem under control haven’t been too successful, and the problem has spread somewhat to the water polo pool next to it. To illustrate the problem as it’s continued...
What Do You Think Mr. T Is Daydreaming About? Draw It Here.
While cleaning up around my office this week, I found my old Mr. T coloring book from back in the 80's. Now, I am offering you the opportunity to exhibit your artistic talents. What do you think Mr. T is daydreaming about? Draw it here:...
