LPGAer And Frequent Trump Golf Partner: "He Cheats Like Hell"
Suzann Pettersen, with 15 LPGA Tour wins to her name, is also a good friend of Donald Trump. Has been for a decade. So when she talks about him being an inveterate cheater at golf, understand that she’s painting just about the most sympathetic picture possible of his game....

Russell Westbrook went off last night, scoring 46 points and adding six boards and six assists in the Thunder’s 121-112 victory over the Wizards. Westbrook, it seems, was playing angry. And his teammates appear to have been happy not to disabuse him of his motivation....
Watch The Four Newest Baseball Hall Of Famers Get The Call
As worked up as we all were for the results of Baseball Hall of Fame voting, I suppose the players who got in were probably even more excited.

During the first day of sentencing this week of Larry Nassar, the former Michigan State and USA Gymnastics doctor who will spend the rest of his life in prison and is accused of sexually abusing more than 150 women and girls, no MSU officials were in the courtroom. A school spokesperson said they di...
Paul Pierce Really Didn't Want Isaiah Thomas Anywhere Near Paul Pierce Night
On February 11, the Cavs will visit Boston for the second and final time this season, and a very brief tribute was planned for Isaiah Thomas, who was traded away in the Kyrie Irving deal last summer—it was to be a short video played before pregame introductions. That was beyond the pale for Paul Pie...

The Jaguars Talked Just Ungodly Amounts Of Shit
The Jaguars have spent all season being doubted and picked against, both by opponents and by just about every neutral observer who has paid attention to the franchise over the last 18 years or so. And no one appeared quite so confident that these were the “same old Jags” as the Pittsburgh Steelers, ...
Watch Vikings Fans Lose Their Minds Over Stefon Diggs's Touchdown
The thing to notice for in fan reaction videos to the final miraculous play of Sunday’s Vikings win is the sound—sort of a double-surge of joy, first when Stefon Diggs goes up to get the pass, and second when he turns around and everyone realizes there’s no one between him and the end zone....
Oh No, Marcus Williams
Twelve or so hours later and I still don’t know what happened. I don’t know what Marcus Williams was thinking when he went low, and also a little sideways, and ended up missing Stefon Diggs altogether and instead taking out his own teammate, allowing Diggs to float unthreatened down the field for on...
Former Deadspin Boss Tim Marchman Makes Queso Fundido
The Gizmodo Media Special Projects Desk will be relying on new editor Tim Marchman to develop their promising young writers this year.

Thursday was the all-star game for Russia’s Women’s Hockey League, held in Astana, Kazakhstan. In a move that the NHL should absolutely steal, the second intermission was given over to a dance-off. First, the East team, with an on-ice routine set to a Kazakh hit:...
Anthony Duclair And The Blackhawks Need Each Other
The Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday made a moderately sized trade splash, acquiring forward Anthony Duclair from the Arizona Coyotes along with defenseman Adam Clendening for forwards Richard Panik and Laurent Dauphin. It sets up the Blackhawks in a number of ways—they get younger, and they clear ca...
The Winnipeg Kerfluffle Has Reached Dangerously Canadian Levels
This weekend and into this week, the Prairies were shaken to their very core by three hockey men saying they didn’t really like going to Winnipeg on road trips because it’s dark (it is dark), it’s cold (it is cold), and the hotel wi-fi is substandard (unresolved). The Jets mostly declined official c...
Sharks Players Make The Mistake Of Badmouthing City Of Winnipeg
Ahead of the San Jose Sharks’ trip to Winnipeg on Sunday, NBC Sports California tweeted a video that appears to be culled from a larger one asking Sharks players their least favorite road trip destination.
