Bad accounting threatened to derail our truest American hero. Never again.

It’s kind of a love story I guess?

Greetings, America. We have another bae love story in our society.

This is the tale of how two baes met thousands of feet in the air. There are four characters on a plane: Plane Bae (a woman), Plane Bae (a man), actress Rosey Blair, and Blair’s boyfriend. The story may be extremely anti-climactic, but it’s also well-told. Besides, once someone has “bae” in their name, the people are hooked.

We now know that the “Hunky Plane Guy” is Euan Holden... Читать дальше...

We have that and more in Wednesday’s NBA newsletter.

Wow, people are really mad about the Warriors signing DeMarcus Cousins to a contract. You’d understand if Pelicans fans were mad, especially after news that Cousins turned down a 2-year, $40 million extension offered after Boogie tore his Achilles.

Hamels could have one last hurrah with the team

Welcome back to our trade rumor grading factory, where we break apart the many rumors swirling around during the month of July in advance of the non-waiver trade deadline.

Final score: England 1-1 (4-3) Colombia

They did it! They actually did it! England has won a World Cup penalty shootout for the first time in their history. And it’s not just the World Cup where they’ve struggled in this regard — the shootout failure that sticks out most in the minds of fans is probably Euro ‘96, at home, when current manager Gareth Southgate missed the decisive spot kick.
