Shaun White Earns Distinction For First Awful Celebrity Halloween Costume Of 2018
With an entire universe of Halloween costume options available to him—more established characters than you can count, tens of thousands of creepily sexed-up versions of those same characters, and infinite concoctions from his own imagination—Olympic snowboarder Shaun White landed on one that, detach...
Mitchell Trubisky's Hail Mary Pass To Kevin White Comes Up Painfully Short
The Patriots learned a valuable lesson in respecting Mitchell Trubisky today. With the Bears down by seven with two seconds left, the “tittiess” kisser threw a Hail Mary pass from the team’s own 45-yard line, and it was actually caught. Receiver Kevin White just needed to push through the final two ...
Khabib Nurmagomedov Threatens To Quit UFC If His McGregor-Attacking Buddy Is Fired<em></em>
One of the guys who jumped into the octagon and attacked Conor McGregor during the post-match mayhem at UFC 229 was Zubaira Tukhugov, who himself is a fighter on the UFC roster. After the match, UFC president Dana White made it clear that Tukhugov would never fight in the UFC again, and now Khabib N...
Fiancée Of White Sox Pitcher Jace Fry Appears To Nuke Their Engagement Via Instagram
White Sox pitcher Jace Fry got his first career start Wednesday, against the Indians. It wasn’t a real start—the White Sox tabbed this one as a bullpen game, and Fry only pitched one inning—but, hey, a career first! Meanwhile, while he and his teammates were out there getting pounded by the Indians,...
Conor McGregor Hypes Whiskey, Talks Wild Shit In Suitably Batshit Press Conference
Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov sat for a press conference Thursday afternoon, a little more than two weeks ahead of their October 6 showdown at UFC 229. You will be pleased to learn that settling in for this nearly hour-long video is very much worth your time, as an enjoyer of absurdity and ...
Jose Abreu's Had A Run Of Bad Luck With His Groin Area
White Sox first baseman José Abreu will miss his team’s upcoming series with the Indians, as he was hospitalized and treated for “an ingrown hair infection in his right thigh.” That’s disconcerting and gross enough on its own, but when combined with the fact that Abreu just underwent surgery for a “...
Flamethrowing White Sox Phenom Michael Kopech Needs Tommy John Surgery
After making four starts this year, White Sox rookie Michael Kopech will most likely not return to the mound until 2020. The team announced this afternoon that Kopech has a torn ulnar collateral ligament, and while he will reportedly seek a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews and consider his reco...
José Abreu Needed Emergency Surgery To Save A "Strangled" Testicle
White Sox first baseman José Abreu hasn’t played in a couple weeks, a result of an ambiguous outpatient “lower abdominal surgery” he reportedly underwent on August 20. Hernioplasty? Appendectomy? A testicle that twisted around and became tangled up in its own [passes out cold]:...
Tyler White's Unlikely Walk-Off Dinger Set An MLB Single-Season Record
The Astros won 5-4 today in the final game of a three-game series against the Athletics, after DH Tyler White hit a walk-off bomb. White’s homer not only extended Houston’s lead in the AL West to 2.5 games, but set a neat little MLB record, too....
Adam Engel Makes Heroic Catch Despite Assault From Yankee Stadium Grass
Adam Engel has earned himself a bit of a reputation as a Yankee-killer this season, thanks to a tendency for the otherwise unspectacular White Sox centerfielder to make terrific grabs against the Bronx Bombers. Tonight, Yankee Stadium thought they might take some revenge on the home team’s fielding ...
The White Sox's Latest Inexplicable Baserunning Play Is The Best One Yet
The White Sox are not all that good at winning baseball games, but you have to hand it to them: they sure can cook up a stupefying baserunning highlight. In a fitting followup to yesterday’s rather odd back-to-back rundown situation, today Yolmer Sanchez got caught off third base when a grounder got...
Only The White Sox Could Get Into Two Haphazard Rundowns On Consecutive Pitches
The White Sox’s offense failed them last night as they lost 5-2 to the Twins, but they really livened up the eighth inning with some creative baserunning. Adam Engel was caught taking a big lead from first base, and really should have been thrown out, but Minnesota’s Joe Mauer nonchalantly flipped ...
Overwhelmed By White Sox Pitching Prospect, God Forces Rain Delay
Starting pitcher Michael Kopech, the 22-year-old flamethrower who was a key part of the Chris Sale trade a while back, made his Major League debut for the White Sox tonight. It was a much-anticipated start that brought a lot of intrigued fans out to Comiskey Park, so naturally, it couldn’t last....
Get A Load Of This Hot-Doggin' Strike-Throwin' Baseball Nun
The Chicago White Sox invited Sister Mary Jo Sobieck of Marian Catholic High School to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for Saturday’s game against the Royals. She did some early hot-dogging with the slick little elbow trick you see above, but that was really just a preview. Her first pitch, thr...
Yeah, That's A Goddamn Moth In An Umpire's Ear
Gahhhhh. This is an awful thing that should never happen—with any living creature, not just a dusty flying bug—but Yankees-White Sox umpire Bruce Dreckman was remarkably calm when a small, moth-like animal (most likely a moth) flew into his ear between innings....
Infielder Matt Davidson Struck Out Giancarlo Stanton, Still Hasn't Allowed A Run This Year
Lance Lynn was excellent in his first Yankees start, throwing seven and a third scoreless innings and leading New York to a 7-0 win over the White Sox to break a five-game losing streak. But I don’t care. Lynn allowed two hits, and that’s just not good enough. Not when we’ve got Chicago’s Matt David...
Bird's Dong Ripped Out Of The Sky
The Yankees are looking to get healthy against the woeful White Sox Monday night, following a decisive four-game sweep at the hands of the Red Sox that all but ended the race for the AL East. Mostly they’re having their way, but the highlight of the game came in the top of the fourth inning, when Ya...
Andrelton Simmons Lucked Into A Little League Homer Because He Was Playing The White Sox
Andrelton Simmons, the best defensive shortstop in the Majors since he made his debut in 2012, has had a career year at the plate this season, with a slashline of .305/.362/.427 that is on pace to shatter his previous career-highs. On Thursday against the White Sox, he bumped up his slugging percent...
Former UFC Fighters Hint At Some Dana White Rumors
Iron-fisted UFC boss Dana White has spent the last week feuding with former UFC heavyweight and current comedy guy Brendan Schaub. The tiff kicked off when White responded to Israel Adesanya’s Instagram video of comments that Schaub made on his Showtime show Below the Belt. White called Schaub a “M...
Dana White Will Push Greg Hardy Until The UFC Loses Money On Him
