Noah Syndergaard Is Now A True New Yorker
Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is enjoying his offseason and taking in all the experiences New York has to offer. Two weeks ago, he went to a Knicks game. Like a true New Yorker, Syndergaard captured the occasion by lying on the Madison Square Garden court while wearing the expression of a dog who ha...
Nobody Makes Dirk Nowitzki Bleed His Own Blood
Kelly Olynyk was frequently compared to Dirk Nowitzki coming out of college. Mostly because they’re both tall gangly white guys, but also because of some similarities in their games, especially the post moves that they employ....
The Same Scout Once Drafted Both Of Today's Cy Young Winners
Major League Baseball announced the 2015 Cy Young winners tonight. Chicago’s Jake Arrieta topped the L.A. Dodgers duo of Zach Greinke and Clayton Kershaw in the NL, while Houston’s Dallas Keuchel handily beat out Toronto’s David Price in the AL. In an interesting little bit of trivia, the same scout...
This Guy Walked Around The World With $6,000 And A Violin, And Only Had His Nuts Grabbed Once
As I understand it, a Bulgarian farm worker grabbed Andrew Siess’s nuts with his left hand while holding a gun in his right hand. He wasn’t pointing the gun at Siess, mind you, just holding it. Siess pushed him away, but the Bulgarian guy—speaking the international language of aggression—again grabb...
New York Belongs To King Kristaps
Okay, yes, a 7-foot-3 rookie averaging 12 points and eight rebounds through the first 12 games of his career isn’t the wildest thing to ever happen. And, yes, Knicks fans should probably know better than to give their hearts to a guy on an unexpected and brief run of brilliance. But say hello to the...
LIU Brooklyn Tops Loyola On A Frenzied Buzzer-Beating Banked Three
LIU Brooklyn opened their season in exhilarating fashion Monday night, beating Loyola (Md.) in a game that saw a crazy final five seconds. With it all tied up 68-68, Loyola inbounded from under their own basket. They looked to have a good layup or dunk attempt, but Jerome Frink sent the shot packing...
The Giants Just Can't Seal The Deal
Of the New York Giants’ five losses this season, three of the opponents’ game-winning scores have come with a combined eight seconds left. Last night’s 27-26 New England win, one of the best football games of the year, required Tom Brady to use all but one second of the 1:47 the Giants gave him, and...

NFL Admits It Fucked Up With Pajama Uniforms That Ruined Game For Colorblind Fans
The absurd “color rush” uniforms worn by the Jets and Bills last night were bad enough if you could see them. They were worse for the millions of viewers who couldn’t. The NFL says: oops....
Rex Ryan Was Fuckin' Pumped About Beating The Jets, And That's Just Fine
Rex Ryan just can’t help himself. He couldn’t help himself when he named the guy who broke Jets quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw one of the pregame captains, and he couldn’t help himself when he reacted like he’d just won the damn Super Bowl after beating the Jets, the team he coached for six years befo...
Stupid Nike Uniforms Wreaking Havoc On Colorblind NFL Fans
Nike introduced some stupid new uniforms for tonight’s Bills-Jets game, and the color-on-color combination is especially bad for people with colorblindness, who are taking to Twitter to let the NFL know their displeasure....

Oh Shit! Maybe Krapsnaps Bazingas Is A Beast?
When was the last time a Knicks lottery pick inspired as much excitement as Latvian giant Krapsnaps Bazingas, this past summer’s fourth overall pick? Can you recall? I can’t. Probably that is because the last truly excellent player the trash-ass Knicks took in the lottery was Patrick Ewing, 30 years...
Only Time Itself Can Stop Kristaps Porzingis
On the antepenultimate and penultimate possessions, it was the same old Knicks. With three-plus seconds left, Carmelo Anthony clonked a three off the side of the backboard. On the other end, in the Hornets’ second attempt at an inbounds play, Jeremy Lin went over a screen and both Knicks defenders f...
Hard Cider Smackdown: Woodchuck Vs. Angry Orchard Vs. Your Sense Of Shame
Try to recall the events toward the middle-end of 2000’s Castaway, when Tom Hanks is making his triumphant return to U.S. soil. Rather than that weird company party in the airport broom closet or whatever it was, imagine instead that he was treated to an all-expenses-paid trip to the grocery store a...
Odell Beckham Is Forcing Himself To Become Ambidextrous
The Wall Street Journal’s Kevin Clark has a fun new story about Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who wants to become ambidextrous so badly that he is doing as many tasks as possible with his non-dominant left hand. ...

NJ Devils Owner's Helicopter Parks On Soccer Field, Cancels Youth Game [Update]
A youth soccer game at Saint Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark, N.J., was called off Sunday night after a helicopter touched down in the middle of the pitch and stayed there. This was no emergency landing, however: the vehicle was there to pick up Josh Harris, billionaire owner of the New Jers...
Geno Smith's Fine With The Guy Who Punched Him; Next Question
Bills coach Rex Ryan occasionally likes to choose game captains with an underlying message. Last Sunday, he picked three former Dolphins against Miami. This Thursday, I.K. Enemkpali—the former Jets linebacker who punched quarterback Geno Smith in the face over $600—will be a captain. Today, Smith sa...
U.S. Soccer Bans Headers For Players Under 11 To Resolve Concussion Lawsuit
The United States Soccer Federation has taken a major step in an attempt to reduce concussions among youth soccer players, adopting a policy that bans players under 11 from heading the ball and reducing headers in practice for 11 to 13 year olds, the New York Times reports.
