The Nats Wasted A Brilliant Night From Stephen Strasburg, Because Of Course They Did
There is nothing more frustrating on earth than watching a lineup featuring Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, Daniel Murphy, and Ryan Zimmerman get completely blanked by a guy who throws an 87 mph fastball. Unless you are a Cubs fan, in which case, screw you right in the ear....

Jets Try Talking Shit To Browns, Immediately Back Down
So the New York Jets, a very bad and anonymous football team that many people believed had a shot at going 0-16, are 2-2. They’ve beaten the Jaguars and the Dolphins, and this week they take on the Browns. I guess if there was any time for the 2017 Jets to feel chesty, this is it, which explains why...
