Colorado State Recommended Firing Larry Eustachy Three Years Ago After Investigation

No One Knows What The Sixers Are Doing With Jahlil Okafor
As hot as the 76ers were in January, this is not the season for them to be good. It’s the season to develop their good young players (Joel Embiid, maybe Ben Simmons) and to see about trading those who are expendable for their future (uh, just about everyone else). Well, Embiid and Simmons are hurt—w...
I Am Dying At These Heart-Shaped Pizzas
How was your Valentine’s Day? I masturbated then watched the dog show, though at least 30 minutes apart so as not to make it weird. But some people believe in romance. At least two delivery chains offered customers the option to order heart-shaped pizzas, and America’s hungry lovebirds eagerly oblig...
Oh Yeah, Evgeni Malkin's Back

Steve Young Insists He Gives A Crap About His ESPN Job

Via Reddit, here is a comically long bullwhip. But thanks to physics, the whipper necessarily becomes the whippee....
That Was A Vintage Pest Performance By Alex Burrows
The hockey boys were rowdy last night! A few hours after Gustav Nyquist tried to embed his stick in Jared Spurgeon’s facehole, Sabres netminder Robin Lehner and Canucks agitator Alexandre Burrows spent the evening going at each other—with Burrows the clear winner....
The NHL Will Give Gustav Nyquist A Few Days To Think About What He Did
The Red Wings have missed the playoffs just twice in my lifetime, and I’m old. But now, at 22-24-10 and dead last in the Eastern Conference, they appear bound for the reckoning/rebuild that they’ve somehow escaped so many times over the decades. It is, for the first time since 1990, a lost season in...
