James Harden's wine is a vintner’s nightmare

The first sip of James Harden’s cabernet sauvignon caused a visceral stepback, and the sudden urge to chuck my glass at any wastebasket within 30 feet. Completely bereft of any tannins, the bouquet was as generic as seemingly any bottle picked off the shelves of a 7-Eleven, and went down with equal ...

Hey Deion, there is no generational divide on privilege

If you currently play football for Colorado, you had better use a strong black marker to write your name on the tape on your helmet.

These are the best Super Bowl halftime shows of all time

Certainly, nothing exemplifies the bombast and ridiculousness of the occasion more than the halftime show, with a two-hour ...

La Russa is still managing like it’s 1989

The Yankees and White Sox combined for 26 strikeouts in a nine-inning game. In 2012, that’s not so surprising. What is a bit of a stunner is that Aroldis Chapman didn’t get any of those K’s. Carlos Rodón fanned 13, Jordan Montgomery punched out 11, and Michael Kopech added two whiffs out of the Chic...

And Here's An Inside-The-Park Home Run By ... Edwin Encarnacion??

This isn’t as iconic an entry into the genre of unexpected inside-the-park home runs as, say, this Prince Fielder gem or this Jhonny Peralta one, but it’s still pretty dang good: Edwin Encarnacion tonight, with his first inside-the-parker in more than a decade, thanks to a little defensive fuck-up b...

(He was ultimately pulled in the third.) But tha...
