Alleged Murderer Has Cardinals And White Sox Logos Among His Face Tats
This Chicago man has been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly shooting and killing a man over the 4th of July weekend.

Nasty Dread: Beware The Ersatz Island Schmaltz Of Magic!
It's the rare band that makes Smash Mouth seem edgy by comparison. It's the rare band that makes Sublime seem arty, that makes 311 seem novel, that makes Jack Johnson seem… tolerable. But here we are, and here we go: Magic. Oops, make that Magic!—the exclamation point being one of many red flags ind...
Dioner Navarro Tries To Stretch Double Into Inside-The-Park HR, Fails

How "Seven Nation Army" Became Soccer's Favorite Chant
Three World Cups later, the riff from the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" remains the soccer world's most prolific chant. It's possible to pinpoint the exact time and place the wordless chant was born: Oct. 22, 2003, in a bar in Milan....
"Go, OJ, Go!": Liveblogging The White Bronco Chase, 20 Years Later
Unlike many people, I don't remember where I was when OJ Simpson took off on that infamous Bronco ride back in 1994. It was summer, so I was probably at my folks' house asking my mom to buy me lots of Killian's Irish Red for freshman year. I remember watching the sheriff on ESPN say that police we...
It's The 20-Year Anniversary Of The Greatest Prank Call Of All Time
The O.J. Simpson car chase had its share of memorable moments. For you, maybe it was the absurdity of a white Ford Bronco leading a phalanx of police well under the speed limit, or the knowledge that Simpson had a gun to his head, or Al Cowlings telling police "You know who I am, goddammit" or just ...
Milwaukee Bar Celebrates World Cup In Most Tone Deaf Way Possible
There's a bar in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, called The Nomad, and like most bars in America, it is putting on all kinds of airs in an effort to lure people inside of it to watch World Cup games this month. But The Nomad is offering potential patrons one thing that other bars are not: tone deaf cultural t...

Jon Jones Trolls The UFC, Fans, The World
Last year, Jon Jones, the best fighter alive, defended his light heavyweight title against Alexander Gustafsson. It was great! The Swede couldn't pull out the win, but he became the only challenger ever to give Jones real trouble. Everyone wanted to see a rematch....

Jalen Rose sets 'em up, and right on cue, Doug Collins knocks 'em down with a timely quote from one of the great underappreciated tracks from the early aughts....
Charlie Whitehurst Arm-Wrestled A Punter For A Uniform Number, And Lost
Charlie Whitehurst, who signed on to be the Titans backup, has never worn anything but No. 6 in his eight-year career. There was one problem: That's been punter Brett Kern's number since he came to Tennessee in 2009. The usual solution would be for Whitehurst to make Kern an offer for it. They went ...
Hero White Sox Fan Snags Flying Bat, Saves Baby
Eileen Depesa thought quickly—and acted quicker, with a one-handed snag of Tyler Flowers's runaway bat that seemed to be heading right for the infant sitting directly behind her. The gentleman next to her, ducking for cover? He did not acquit himself nearly so well....
Chris Sale Remains Impossible
Last night, pitching against the Yankees, Chris Sale struck out Brendan Ryan on a diving change-up that had Ryan so far out in front and swinging so hard that his bat flew out of his hands, helicoptering across the infield and landing near the lip of the grass. On the next pitch, Sale threw pretty m...
Awkward Minnesota Super Bowl "War Room" Is One Big Tiger Woods High Five
So my home state of Minnesota "won" the right to host Super Bowl LII in 2018, presumably because Zygi Wilf convinced local taxpayers to pony up for a new stadium with funds from electronic pull-tab games that haven't generated any actual revenue yet, and such triumphs must be rewarded. Anyway, sinc...

Non-African Wins Race
Good news and bad news, white people. Good news is, for the first time ever, a non-African (ok, he is a New Zealander) won a 5K race over a field of Kenyan runners on Kenyan soil. No literally, it was a dirt track....
White Sports Columnist Mad About Today's Vulgar Rap Music
Washington Post columnist Mike Wise was in the Indiana Pacers' locker room before tonight's game against the Wizards, and he could not believe the music they listened to these days....
Whites Are Way More Lenient On Sterling, Unless They Follow The NBA
In the past week, two polls have tried to dope out the public's thoughts on the NBA forcing Donald Sterling to sell the Clippers. Both tell you approximately what you'd expect, but the ways they differ are a little more interesting. ...
Phil Mushnick: Donald Sterling Was Lynched
Look, is there anything even worth saying about this? New York Post hack Phil Mushnick, as we've previously reminded you, is a race-baiting troll whose job is basically to come as close to just filing a column consisting of the word "moulignan" written out 800 times as he can without getting fired. ...
