Real Madrid is worth $4.2 billion and had $893 million in revenue last year. Manchester United is worth $3.8 billion and had $795 million in revenue last year. These are two of the three most exorbitantly wealthy cash-printing economic juggernauts in the history of any sport ever. Don’t blame economics for their…

No, it’s what *competitive* video games are called now. You know, the formats with professional players making far more money than you, competing in leagues and tournaments for huge prizes, complete with sponsorships, broadcasters, real-life arenas filled with fans, ads, rich old white team owners, ESPN timeslots,…

I mean, even here, it’s good for the sport that Bolton end up dropping down a couple divisions to the level at which their roster and finances are actually going to be whenever they end up coming out of administration and on flat footing again. The alternative would be a team suddenly wildly out of their depth being…

It’s a pretty lame move for an adult to bring a glove to a baseball game. That being said, it’s not like he took it out of the kid’s glove, he just reached down further, and from the angle it seems like there’s a pretty good chance both those kids would have missed it and the ball would have just dropped down a foot…

Given all the absolutely ridiculous health trends I’ve seen online being pushed by celebrities, if one of them posts something this stupid, I’m going to assume they’re being honest unless they make it really clear they’re in on the joke. They often aren’t, and this one is bizarre enough to be dating Elon Musk, so...

Drew has a son and two daughters right? So I’m assuming a streaker at a family outing involves his wife frantically trying to shield the girls’ eyes while Drew points the guy out and laughs uproariously with the other kid.

My parents visited Denver from the south and like to talk about how they “love” Mexican because a couple times a month they’ll go to a white-bread place down there where Cholula is far too spicy for the clientele. First it took an endless ordeal to convince them not to go to Casa Bonita even though their friends swore…

taking on the myth that fast food is getting healthier in the modern age

That makes the fifth game this year I would have bought if only it were available on the launch platform I prefer to use. Five studios that got 30% of $0 as my money goes to other studios that aren’t trying to force me onto a platform I don’t want to be on. Ah well.

If Ladd does not at all appear to be in any condition to drive a car

Are we nearing the point where athletes are even going to *want* the super-max? John Wall, Chris Paul, and Russell Westbrook have quite possibly the three worst least-tradeable contracts in the league, and each contract torpedoed their team’s chances of either improving to championship level or escaping cap/repeater…

Example: I’m in Nebraska. The people are fine and the scenery (away from the interstate) is pretty good.

Yeah, she ended up with a game loss for I think the third penalty of the match. It may not have been the sole determining factor in the result, but we’ve all seen plenty of men go on louder, harsher rants against tennis referees and not get punished like that, let alone in a grand slam final.

I remember similar criticism of Tony Dungy after his son committed suicide.

Believe it or not, some people pay $10 for lunch every day and are more interested in a reasonably-sustainable calorie count in their meals than getting ALL THE FOOD for their $10.

they seem willing to hold players semi-hostage if they do not receive what they deem an appropriate bid (see the weird saga of Adrien Rabiot for an example)

Thanks to the DVPE, Russell Westbrook, the first player ever to become a trade piece during a supermax extension

Reducing the cost to fast travel for players under level 25

The email concludes by asking for “pricing and details about Your options for such content publication.”

Does Durant really strike you as the kind of guy who would have several duplicitous face-to-face conversations with teammates just prior to the most important decision of his career, as opposed to the type who’d just stop answering text messages from his teammates during that period and later faux-apologize to them…
