Here Are All The Times The NFL Got Josh Brown Records From The Sheriff's Office
Once again, the NFL has insisted that its inability to comprehend the repeated abuse suffered by a woman—Molly Brown, in this case, the ex-wife of New York Giants kicker Josh Brown—wasn’t due to its own incompetence. After blaming the victim a few months ago, NFL leaders decided this time around to ...

Josh Brown Placed On Commissioner's Exempt List [Updates]
The NFL is suddenly very concerned about Giants kicker Josh Brown, now that the sheriff’s office in King County, Wash. has released documents in which Brown described in his own words how he abused his wife, Molly. The league was less concerned a month ago, when it suspended Brown one game despite t...
I'd Watch Javier Baez Read A Book
I watched most of Game 5 of the NLCS in a noisy bar, but it wasn’t the same experience I usually have while watching a game in public. Instead of glancing at the screen every now and then just to check the score while drinking and chatting, I found myself much more concerned with what was happening ...
The Cubs Have To Win A Baseball Game
I read this the other day, a throwaway line that made me do a double take: The Cubs have never won an NLCS. Well, sure they haven’t. League championship series have only been around since 1969, and the Cubs haven’t been to a World Series since 1945. It’s a useless, obvious bit of trivia—barely a fac...
Wikileaks: Clinton Campaign Considered Having Her Make A "Yo Mama" Joke
Here’s a good one from the Clinton email leaks. Before a February campaign event in Birmingham, Al., a Hillary Clinton campaign staffer wrote a “Yo mama” joke into the speech, one which was eventually cut....
Giants Sign Kicker Robbie Gould
Josh Brown will not travel with the New York Giants to London for their game against the Rams this weekend. In a statement released today, the team said that they “remain supportive of Josh and his efforts,” but would “revisit” his case after the London game. His contract situation is unclear at the...
Here's Bobby Valentine Lovingly Wiping Crumbs Off Tommy Lasorda's Mouth
Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda recently got out of the hospital in time to attend Game 3 of the NLCS. He’s at Game 5 tonight, sitting next to Bobby Valentine, who was nice enough to assist him with a stray bit of food....
The NFL Always Had Access To The Josh Brown Documents<em></em>
Even before yesterday’s release of documents by the sheriff’s office in King County, Wash. in which New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admits in his own words that he abused his then-wife Molly, there was very similar evidence in his divorce file—a publicly available document that anyone could get. A...

Six games in, let’s check in on the 2016 New York Jets:...
Rick Pitino Denies Responsibility For Louisville Prostitution Scandal, Once Again Invokes 9/11
Last year, a book written by a self-described madam detailed allegations that the Louisville basketball program provided strippers for team parties within the dorms, and that some of the strippers were paid to have sex with athletes, as a means of attracting recruits. Former graduate assistant Andre...
Cleveland Dunked On Jose Bautista
Cleveland rookie pitcher Ryan Merritt was making just the second start of his career yesterday when manager Terry Francona sent him to the mound to face the Blue Jays in Game 5 of the ALCS. Before the game, Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista seemed confident in his team’s chances against the young star...
Did The MLB Replay Booth Just Cost The Dodgers A Run?
Adrián González tried to run on Jason Heyward in the second inning tonight. Heyward’s throw took a hop, and barely arrived on time, but the umpire determined that Willson Contreras’s tag got González on the jaw before his left hand grazed home plate....
The Cleveland Indians Are Headed To The World Series
The Cleveland Indians will be back in the World Series for the first time since 1997, after they made quick work of the Blue Jays and won a fairly rote ALCS, 4-1. They won Game 5 in the same way they won most of their games this postseason: they slapped a few dongers, then Andrew Miller stifled the ...

Derrick Rose Found Not Liable In Civil Rape Trial [Updated]
Knicks guard Derrick Rose was found not liable on all counts today in the civil suit accusing him and two friends of gang-raping a woman in 2013. Rose’s two friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton, were cleared on all counts as well....
10 Years Ago Today, Carlos Beltran Didn't Swing
It’s got to be the single most famous baseball play in which a hitter didn’t take the bat off his shoulder. Oct. 19, 2006, bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, the Cardinals clinging to a two-run lead in Game 7 of the NLCS, and the Mets’ most feared hitter at the plate. Baseball drama doesn’...
<i>New York Times</i> Endorses Monarchy
In a move much anticipated by members of the royal court, the Kingdom of the New York Times has elevated a prince of Family Sulzberger to a position in line for the throne. ...
Dmitry Orlov Flipped Matt Duchene
It is not often we start the morning blog march with a hip check. But, as T.J. Oshie mused of Dmitry Orlov’s hit that sent Matt Duchene tumbling helmet-over-skates, “that was one of the cooler hits that I’ve ever seen.”...
Old Man Rich Hill Pitched A Gem Tonight
The Chicago Cubs came into the NLCS fresh off a dominant regular season and a soul-crushing defeat of the San Francisco Giants. Since a Game 1 win, they haven’t scored a run. Clayton Kershaw shut them out in Game 2, which is understandable since he’s Clayton Kershaw, but a much more unlikely hero bl...
Everyone Got Called A Liar In Closing Arguments At The Derrick Rose Trial<em></em>
Lawyers for both sides in the Derrick Rose trial made their closing arguments today and the proceeding ended the way it began—with both sides telling vastly different stories about what happened in the early hours inside Jane Doe’s Los Angeles apartment back in 2013. ...
