Only slightly related, but this article “written by” Joyce Carol Oates remains one of the best things The Onion has ever done.

Shit like this is why Teju Cole quit Twitter.

I didn’t realize this until a few minutes ago, but that was the first time in franchise history the Cavs have won an NBA Finals game. I know Cleveland fans can be obnoxious, but can you blame them? Fuck, man. That’s rough.

I don’t think it was an “unspecified illness.” She said it was a bad case of the flu a few times.

At this point I’d say she’s undeniably the greatest American tennis player ever. People will argue for Sampras, but he really just dominated two tournaments (he never reached the French Open final, and only made the semifinal once). I’d also say she’s the best women’s player ever, though you can certainly make a great…

That video of McCuthen giving his batting gloves to those kids should have helped you skip a few steps. Watching that kid scream “I love you!!” over and over was beautiful.

What’s your favorite thing — novel, article, comic, whatever — that you’ve read so far this year?

But now you guys have Andrew McCutchen, who might be the most likable star in baseball. Really, that whole team just seems like a lot of fun. It’s a really good time to be a Pirates fan.

My favorite complaint from sports writers is when they say that players use their kids to avoid answering questions. Seriously? You actually think Steph Curry is using his daughter as a prop to avoid your tired, rote questions after he won a game/series? Come on...

One of my favorite things about the NBA right now is seeing all these guys who are dedicated to being incredible fathers. LeBron, Wade, Curry, Paul, Rose... it’s a long list, and I really can’t stress enough what a joy it is to see. It’s been an amazing turnaround — remember, the infamous “Where’s Daddy?” Sports…

My favorite part about all of this was the reporter who said to him like “Don’t you think you should expand on the discussion of race in this country?” Yes, of course, because anyone who wants to discuss any and all racial issues in this country should first go to LeSean McCoy. Don’t use McCoy’s stupidity to pretend…

Yup. I read the article and my very first thought was “I will hold the chicken.”

I’d give anything to have been in the room when Amy and her team pitched that idea to Comedy Central. “So, we’re going to do the entire episode in black and white, Amy is hardly going to be in it, it’s going to be an homage to a film that’s over 50 years old, and it’s going to be crazy expensive because it will have…

“In order for it to be true, it would also have to be fact that regulation does indeed reduce senseless violence. I’m not so sure.”

We don’t often think of him this way, but Iverson’s athleticism was up there with Randy Moss. This is a cat who a lot of people thought would have been the greatest college QB of all time. I really think he and Moss are the two most naturally gifted athletes I’ve seen since Bo Jackson. You can throw LeBron and Vick in…

I get why people hate-watch television shows, or films that come on TV, but I’ll never understand hate-watching a film in theaters. You’re seriously going to travel to a movie theater, and then spend $12-15 just to hate something? Fuck that. Between the ticket and gas, that’s damn near $20 you could be spending on…

“Unlikely” might be a bit too strong. Corden’s father is a Bible salesman. I don’t trust anyone who comes from a home like that.

He kind of seems like the UK version of Jimmy Fallon. He’s not very funny (though the jokes above are legitimately great, so I’ll give him that), he’s not particularly talented, but he’s incredibly nice so people like him.
