No, Of Course Barcelona Aren't Getting Kicked Out Of La Liga
The Associated Press is reporting that Catalan clubs like Barcelona, Espanyol could be barred from playing Spain's La Liga sooner rather than later. Sure, that's true, whatever. On the other hand, c'mon....
Are there any readers out there with moderate video know-how who have access to tape of the Nov. 14, 1977, Monday Night Football game? Cardinals-Cowboys, if that helps. Email us: [email protected]....
Yasiel Puig Benched For Game 4
Yasiel Puig has barely been a warm body since the start of September, but Don Mattingly chose today's potential elimination game to make the change. Puig is out of the lineup, replaced by nonentity Andre Ethier....
MLB Managers Are Playing Less Small Ball Than Ever
It's well documented we're in an era of dominant pitching, with declines in home runs and batting averages coinciding with the highest strikeout rates in MLB history. But there are also other, less prominent stats gravitating toward record rates that have slipped by most fans. ...
Cardinals Fans Get Ugly In Clash With Ferguson Protesters
This guy right here, the one with "I am Darren Wilson" taped onto the back of his Cardinals jersey—an homage to the Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot an unarmed teenager named Mike Brown to death in August—was at the Cardinals game last night. He, along with many other Cardinals fans, clashed...
Matt Kemp Blasts Dale Scott's Strike Zone: "The Worst I've Ever Seen"
John Lackey was masterful and the L.A. bullpen couldn't hold the fort in last night's 3-1 Cardinals win, but afterward, all a number of Dodgers could talk about was home plate umpire Dale Scott. Matt Kemp went off:...
Florida QB Treon Harris Suspended, Investigated For Alleged Sex Assault
Some shit is going down with University of Florida freshman quarterback Treon Harris, who came off the bench during Saturday's game against Tennessee to help lead the Gators to a 10-9 win. Reports are that Harris has been suspended indefinitely, and is currently being investigated in connection with...
Report: Geno Smith Missed A Meeting Because Of A Dumb Team Policy
The New York Jets got stomped to hell by the San Diego Chargers yesterday, and the 31-0 blowout was so bad that Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith was yanked before the start of the second half. Smith's day got even more embarrassing after the game, a report claimed that he'd missed a team meeting...
What's More Improbable: An 18-Inning Playoff Game Or A 13-Inch Penis?
The Giants-Nationals 18-inning game Saturday was the longest in MLB postseason history. But that still doesn't give a proper picture of how statistically unlikely this is. So let's talk dicks. ...
The Royals Partied With Fans And Eric Hosmer Bought Everyone Drinks
After sweeping their best-of-five division series, some Royals—who had popped champagne in the locker room—made their way to a bar in Kansas City's Power & Light District. For this leg of the party, they invited the fans....
Lorenzo Cain Is Your Newest Playoff Star
If the Kansas City Royals' sweep of the Anaheim Angels left us with one lasting image, it will probably be that of Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain just about losing his damn mind after making his second straight spectacular catch in the top of the fifth inning of last night's series-clinching w...
Buck Showalter Can't Stop Pushing The Right Buttons
It's a results-based business. And Orioles manager Buck Showalter—who, if he doesn't precisely rely on his hunches, at least tends to make decisions questionable enough that you notice they were decisions at all—finally has a playoff series win to call his own....
It's The Perfect Alley-Oop!
Who is ready for another season of Anderson Varejão antics? ...
Yusmeiro Petit Was Essentially The Giants' Second Starter Last Night
Yusmeiro Petit has a weird position on the Giants. He was passable as a spot starter, but couldn't earn a place in a strong San Francisco rotation. The Giants don't need him to close out games, either, and Petit is capable of pitching longer than only an inning. But last night, in the longest MLB ...
BYU Loses Quarterback Taysom Hill, Falls Apart Against Utah State
You normally wouldn't stay up late on a Friday night for Brigham Young football, but if you were ever going to, it would have been this season to watch quarterback Taysom Hill. Hill had five rushing touchdowns and five passing touchdowns in the Cougars' first four games of this year, garnering some ...
Bryce Harper Killed A Baseball Into The Sky
Seventy-two years to the day from the first man-made object being sent into space, Bryce Harper mashed one hell of a tater....
Why The Cardinals Suck
