Hi friends! I'm off this weekend, so instead of a new Foodspin, down below you'll find the one we did a while back about baked ziti. This baked ziti is sooooooo good, full of cheese and meat and happiness, and this is a good time of year to make it. Please make it....
27 Pumpkin Beers, Ranked
There are two kinds of people: those who embrace Pumpkin-Spice-Everything Season for the miracle that it is, and the godless, gourdless heathens who reject it and live a bland, spiceless life. I fall into the former category, which means it's time to combine two of my favorite activities: drinking p...
Texas Should Declare Independence And Make This Their National Beer
Yesterday, one of my idiot friends told me that certain South Floridians have expressed interest in seceding from the rest of the state. Roughly 11 seconds of exhaustive Googling just now failed to turn up much evidence, but let's say it's true. Makes sense. The government's way up north, and appa...
Junior Hockey Coach Yells "Fuck You!" At Reporter After Big Loss
The Ontario Hockey League's Sudbury Wolves got blown out 7–2 by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds Wednesday night, and afterwards tensions were running high.

Jet Li, Ass-Kicking Jerk: The Amazing Absurdity Of <em>Fearless</em>
There are early scenes in the 2006 martial-arts epic Fearless that require Jet Li to play an asshole. These are some pretty funny scenes. Assholism isn't, generally speaking, his thing—pained nobility is his thing. He is a legitimately world-renown ass-kicker, of course: Before he made a single mo...
Old Clippers Fan Mauls Young Clippers Fan In Brawl During Game
Button-up man took on T-shirt man at Wednesday night's Suns-Clippers game to determine whose style of shirt was superior. Or, maybe they were fighting for a dumber reason. Who knows....
Eric Bledsoe Shook Some Poor Scrub Right Off The Damn Court
Preseason basketball isn't really worth much of anyone's time, but there is value in the fact that it allows the game's best players ample opportunity to humiliate end-of-the-bench scrubs in live game action. That's how we ended up with Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe shaking Clippers benchwarmer Jare...

World Boxing Council Shortens Female Matches Because Of Periods

Songs From <em>The Last Waltz</em>, Ranked
We're talking the film here, not the soundtrack or box set or whatnot. No poems, because the poems sucked. Thank you in advance for completely agreeing with this....
Croatian Boxer Viciously Attacks Referee After Match
Croatian boxer Vido Loncar took on Algirdas Baniulis at the European Youth Boxing Championships in Zagreb, and the match was stopped after Loncar started getting lit up by Baniulis. Loncar was not happy with that decision, and vented by beating the shit out of the referee....
How Homegrown Stars Like Gyasi Zardes Are Transforming MLS
Gyasi Zardes is one the best attacking players in MLS right now, and he is neither a wrung-out superstar cashing in chips on an American soccer vacation nor a USMNT star boomeranging back home for regular playing time. His 16 goals for the LA Galaxy are the most of any American (and fifth-most in ML...
Gennady Golovkin's Crushing Overhand Knockout Punch, In Slow Motion
We gave you one shot of GGG's second-round knockout last night, but HBO threw up the realtime and reverse-angle slow motion shots. It's worth a re-watch, if only to gawk at how ordinary Golovkin can look throwing an overhand left that would drop an APC. ...
Gregg Popovich Calls Out Robert Sarver For Calling The Spurs Out
Suns owner Robert Sarver shared his thoughts over a microphone when the Spurs sat most of their good players for Thursday's preseason game. San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich, who also wasn't at the game, finally had a response to Sarver yesterday....
Gennady Golovkin Wins Again With A Devastating Knockout Punch
Marco Antonio Rubio only lasted to the second round before being eliminated by a brutal left from Gennady Golovkin. We're used to seeing this sort of waste being laid by GGG, but will anyone step up to present a real challenge to the Scariest Man Alive?...
Alex Morgan Out Of World Cup Qualifying After This Nasty Ankle Injury
Alex Morgan will miss the rest of the USWNT's World Cup qualifying matches because of a sprained ankle she picked up during Thursday's game against Guatemala. It's an unfortunate set-back for a player with a history of ankle injuries, but thankfully it doesn't look as serious as it could've been....
How To Make Fried Mozzarella, Instead Of Getting It At A Crummy Bar
It's a perverse testament to fried mozzarella's greatness that even in its shittiest incarnations, even when it's just battered and deep-fried sticks of rubbery Polly-O string cheese prepared and served at your local dire corporate chain eatery with all the care and enthusiasm of a wino tumbling d...
Texas Tech's Midnight Madness Featured Tubby Smith Wrecking A Motorcycle
This is some kind of Shaft routine starring Texas Tech head coach Tubby Smith riding a motorcycle. Much like the average Red Raiders basketball performance, it features a laying-down....
Suns Owner Robert Sarver Calls Out Spurs For Phoning In Preseason Game
The Spurs' starting five for last night's game against the Suns was a bit underwhelming: Matt Bonner, Aron Baynes, Tony Parker, Danny Green, and Kyle Anderson. Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, and Patty Mills all sat out. Gregg Popovich didn't even show up to coach. (Hey, it...
