Jaromir Jagr Gave Up His 10 Cups Of Coffee Per Day For Lent
I am starting to think that Jaromir Jagr has an unhealthy relationship with caffeine. Long known as a militant Diet Coke drinker—at least five a day, “no vitamins, nothing”—Jagr this year switched to coffee, and upped his intake to what for a normal human would be a frightening quantity of the stuff...
Marvin Harrison Is Sick Of Terrell Owens's "Bullshit" Whining About The Hall Of Fame
Terrell Owens is still talking about being snubbed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and he’s got a point. He should be a shoo-in, but the HOF election procedures are messed up, and there’s a wide receiver logjam at the top that’s going to make guys like Owens wait longer than they should. Owens sa...
Kam Chancellor Tries To Buy A Gym, Gets Cops Called On Him
Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor had a friendly chat with police officers last night, after they were called by gym employees to investigate some men they believed were trying to gain entry to the closed building. But Kam just wanted to buy the place....
The Thunder Are Sounding Pretty Grim After Their Collapse Against The Clippers
This will sound deeply strange, but: the Thunder are in survival mode. With the West shaking out the way it has, even a team as good as OKC has no shot at catching Golden State or San Antonio—they’re now 9.5 games back of the Spurs with 21 games left to play. All the Thunder functionally have left t...
Brett Phillips's Laugh Remains The Best Thing In Baseball
Brett Phillips, the Brewers’ 21-year-old outfielder, won’t make the big club out of camp, though as one of the franchise’s better prospects, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him come up later this year. In the meantime he’s here to get better, and to show coaches what he can do, and maybe some other base...
Here Come The Rosters And Jerseys For The World Cup Of Hockey
The World Cup of Hockey, which will see eight national (sort of) teams face off in Toronto in September for a tournament that should be heavy on NHLers, excitement, and totally acceptable obnoxious jingoism. (Fuck you, Canada! Your exchange rates are currently unfavorable for you!)...
Carmelo Anthony Tells Heckler To Go Bother Knicks Owner Instead
The excitement of having a good, young player has worn off, and Knicksdom has returned to its resting state: terrible and depressing. But still remarkably expensive, especially if you were fool enough to spring for floor seats. Like the dude who got kicked out for heckling Carmelo Anthony with four ...
The Connor McDavid-Jack Eichel Rivalry Is Officially On, Even If Neither Will Admit It
Everyone on both teams was trying to downplay Connor McDavid vs. Jack Eichel, the No. 1 pick vs. the No. 2 pick, two potentially generational talents who have so far been every bit as good as advertised. They were lying to themselves, and it only took 22 seconds from puck drop for them to be proved ...
About That Distraught Thunder Fan Video
We’ve been sent the above video—purporting to be of a Thunder fan rightfully panicking over Steph Curry having the ball in his hands at the end of Saturday’s thriller—a few times now, so let’s nip it in the bud: it’s hilarious but it’s not real. The real one is even better....
NFL Careers Are Shorter Than Ever
When Jerod Mayo announced his retirement at the age of 29 last month, it was surprising. But statistically, the surprise was in how long he made it. Mayo’s seven seasons were more than twice as long as the average linebacker’s career, and according to new research, NFL players’ careers are significa...
Don't Count Your Game-Winners Before The Buzzer Buzzes
You know that thing where a team recovers possession with time running out and thinks it has the game won, so a player hurls the ball up into the air in celebration even before the buzzer sounds? The video above is the cautionary tale: make sure that ball doesn’t come down with time left....
Minnesota Suspends Three Players After One Tweets Sex Tapes
Before yesterday’s loss to Illinois, Minnesota announced that three Gophers players would be suspended for the game for an unspecified violation of team rules. As always, you have to go to the message boards for the details....
Amar'e Stoudemire Doesn't Think Carmelo Anthony Has Handled This Knicks Thing Very Well
“I was so involved with creating a positive atmosphere around the Knicks,” Amar’e Stoudemire said before Miami’s 98-81 win in his first trip back to Madison Square Garden since being bought out last year. “Now it’s gone the opposite way.”...
