They had already beat the Steelers and the Cardinals that season, and they were on the road both times. They were 11-1 before the Plaxico incident (and the one loss was to the Browns, which is hilarious), and they went 1-4 after. I can’t say they definitely would have beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl, but they’d…

In 2008, the Giants were the best team in football before Plaxico Burress shot himself because he stuck a gun down his sweatpants. We are one crazy night away from Eli Manning having three Super Bowl rings. Eli fucking Manning.

I’m certain that the Mets are somehow responsible for this fuck up — because they are always responsible for any fuck up they’re involved in — but it’s worth nothing that Gomez has been having hip problems for months. Sandy may be using this an excuse, but he didn’t just make up an injury.

I watched the game. This was such a bizarre scene. I’m guessing the hold up was due to the fact that Zack Wheeler just had Tommy John surgery in April, and the Brewers were doing their due diligence in checking his medical records. Either way, Flores was in a really shitty situation.

That track was pretty bland, and this whole Drake/Meek Mill beef is just so damn... soft, but the Joe Carter thing almost makes up for it.

“The sad fact is, while what he did was almost certainly illegal”

“Disney villain” is the best possible description. His kids can never watch Tarzan without seeing the villain and thinking “Oh, shit. That’s dad.”

I know that people will never give a fuck about going into African nations, breaking laws, shitting on their culture, and fucking up their economy. But beyond all that predictable awfulness, how can you even be proud of this? He may as well have literally shot fish in a barrel. What was the point?

All you need to know about this game: when it was over, David Cone said it was the best game he’d ever seen anyone pitch. When someone reminded him that he’d watched his friend David Wells pitch a perfect game just last year, Cone basically responded “Yeah, I know.”

And Nieuwenhuis was on third because Joc Pederson made an incredibly lazy error, trying to backhand a ball that had bounced into the outfield and it ended up getting past him. When your pitcher is going for something historic like this, you can’t be lazy. Pederson fucked up bad.

How is it that the most incompetent team in baseball over the last 50 years was also the only one to not get no hit? Baseball is so fucking weird.

I love that ESPN’s finger is so far removed from the pulse that they genuinely had no idea that black journalists don’t want anything to do with Jason Whitlock. Whitlock offered to triple Ta-Nehisi Coates’ salary if he came to work for him, and Coates still said no. What else is there to say?

Okay, so I know we all love Hannibal Buress, but when are we going to acknowledge that his show is terrible? It’s been so bad so far that watching it makes me uncomfortable. I gave up after just two episodes.

People don’t want to say it because everyone loves Hannibal, but man... his show is awful. I gave up after the second episode. It’s one thing for a new show to be mediocre as it finds its way, but I’m not sure what his show is supposed to be, and I don’t think he is either. The whole “I’m intentionally kind of…

When discussing any kind of racial injustice or racial imbalance, whenever you say “there are bigger fish to fry,” your argument is flawed. Following that logic, why even bother to talk about the lack of black agents and owners? There are more troubling things than that, too. We can address more than one racist issue…

Roughly 75% of NBA players, and 66% of NFL players, are black. You know what percentage of the sports writers covering those leagues are black? Eight. Eight percent. We can continue to encourage and support the black culture within it, but the sad truth is that culture is embarrassingly small. If it’s done properly, a…

If you’re the Diamondbacks pitcher here, and you happen to disagree with the decision to throw at Yelich, you’re in a position where your boss is basically saying to you “I want you to intentionally throw this rock 95 mph at another human being. If you don’t do it, you’re fired, and I’ll probably talk shit about you…

In his first season with the Heat, LeBron led the team in points, field goal attempts, steals, assists, and win shares (by a wide margin). He was even second in rebounds. He was never Wade’s sidekick.

But he made that move because he wanted to win, and he wanted to win while playing with his best friend in basketball. I can’t be mad at that.
