Sergiño Dest Announces He Will Play For USMNT
The USMNT is currently looking like wet slop, Gregg Berhalter seems like a bad coach, and, until last weekend, Christian Pulisic was not earning as much playing time as he wanted over at Chelsea. It has been a bad month all told, especially with the future of the program’s best dual national suddenly up for grabs. Sergiño Dest ominously declined a USMNT call-up earlier this month, announcing… → Read More
Mizzou Athletics Tweet Celebrating Its Student-Athletes' Diversity Goes Horribly Wrong
On Wednesday, the University of Missouri’s athletic department contributed its part to the NCAA’s inclusion week (which runs for less than an actual week, naturally), and boy was it crummy. Photos of several of their athletes explaining why they are “more than a student athlete.” The messages displayed in front of the beaming athletes were markedly different between black and white students: → Read More
Yu Darvish Waited Over A Year To Get Justin Verlander Back For A Joke
While chasing down a slow grounder in Game 2 of the World Series, Astros pitcher Justin Verlander fell on his butt as he threw the ball off his shin. Nobody was hurt; it was just a nice blooper. → Read More
Good Luck Getting Through The Sixers' Forest Of Arms
Sixers rookie Matisse Thybulle had three points, one rebound, and one assist in 22 minutes during his NBA debut Wednesday night, and yet he received a glowing postgame interview on the arena floor after his team beat the Celtics on opening night. Why? Because he threw sand in the gears of his opponents’ offense whenever he was on the floor. → Read More
Feast Your Eyes On This Unholy, Perfect Goal
Every soccer player probably dreams about hitting a ball as perfectly as Marcel Sabitzer did today against Zenit. Not only did the Austrian uncork this breathtaking outside-boot curler in an actual game, the goal wound up winning RB Salzburg a Champions League group stage match. Look at the devilish outside-in bend on this beauty and tell me he could have smacked this one any better. → Read More
Inside The NBA Desk Argues About Daryl Morey And The League's Standoff With China
Before the NBA’s season opener Tuesday night, the Inside The NBA crew discussed the ongoing feud between the NBA and the Chinese government for a good nine minutes. In the Free Speech corner: Kenny Smith. In the Be Nice To China corner: Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley. In a third corner: Shaq. → Read More
Get Ready For The New Olympic Sport That's Basically Spider-Man Speedrunning
Several sports will debut at next summer’s Tokyo Olympics, with the uniting theme of making the Games gnarlier. Skateboarding and surfing are the obvious headliners, but you should be aware of another extra-cool sport that’ll make its first appearance: speed climbing. → Read More
The Richard Sherman-Baker Mayfield Handshake Controversy Has Deepened And Dumbened
It is time now to enter the depths of Handshakeghazi. → Read More
Gonzaga Coach Mark Few On Paying Players: What About Mexico, And Also, Uh, The Homeless?
Stadium’s Jeff Goodman spoke with Gonzaga coach Mark Few yesterday about California’s recently passed Fair Pay to Play Act and the broader movement to see college athletes compensated for their labor. Few expressed some wishy-washy support for players being able to make some money, but only after bizarrely going in on California governor Gavin Newsom. → Read More
Let Me Explain This Hilarious Cycling Scandal To You
Let us now chronicle the rise and sort-of fall of British YouTuber and now-former national e-cycling champion Cameron Jeffers. Unfortunately, the nouns in this story do not become that much easier to understand as we proceed, but please bear with me. → Read More
Israel Adesanya Is The Next Big Thing
Two years ago on this very website, Dr. Patrick Wyman wrote about the single most important question facing the UFC: where is the next generation of stars? It’s been a rough search, but last weekend, I think we finally found a great candidate. → Read More
Cyclist Punches Competitor In Head During Live TV Interview
The road cycling season is basically done and dusted, with the world championships wrapped up and the cyclocross world cup kicking off. There are still a few races going on, however, which brings us to the Sparkassen Münsterland Giro. It’s a race in Germany that I was not aware of until this week, and I only became aware of it because a guy punched another guy. → Read More
The A's Got Embarrassed, Again, But There's Reason For Hope
So, yes. The Oakland Athletics are dead again. The A’s finally got to host a winner-take-all playoff game after losing last year’s Wild Card Game in New York but, for the ninth time in as many tries, they biffed it, losing 5-1. → Read More
The USMNT's Brightest Dual National Is Suddenly On The Fence
Recent USMNT debutante Sergiño Dest played all 90 minutes of Ajax’s 3–0 romp over Valencia in the Champions League today. Under normal circumstances, that would be cause for unbridled celebration, since Dest is just 18 years old and has already risen through the ranks of one of Europe’s best academies to assume an everyday role on a team that went to the Champions League semifinals last year.… → Read More
Boban Marjanovic Enjoys State Fair Of Texas
Very tall man Boban Marjanovic, who signed with the Dallas Mavericks, is back in Texas. He wore an extra cool cowboy outfit to his team’s media day earlier this week, and he attended the State Fair of Texas this past weekend. A tipster sent along photos of Marjanovic playing a carnival game. He’s both tall as hell and very locked in as he tries to flip a chick: → Read More
Matt Nagy Doesn't Reveal Anything About Roquan Smith's Mysterious Deactivation
Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith didn’t play Sunday against the Vikings, despite not being listed on the team’s injury report all week. Smith was downgraded to doubtful right before the game, then ultimately watched the game on the sidelines. The team would only say that he was out for “personal reasons,” and head coach Matt Nagy didn’t elaborate after the 16-6 win. → Read More
The Denver Broncos Are Now Living In A World Of Piss
The Denver Broncos are one of three 0-4 NFL teams (assuming no tie, there should be one more after Bengals-Steelers tonight), and they’ve achieved that record thanks to generous helpings of incompetence and rotten luck. Also, they’ll now have to ride out the rest of this season without one of their best players, as edge rusher Bradley Chubb is done with a torn ACL. → Read More
Sam Darnold On State Of His Spleen: "Going To Do What It's Going To Do"
Everyone in the NFL has one question on their minds: What’s up with Sam Darnold’s least cool organ? Thankfully, there’s an update. → Read More
