Raving Cavs Fan Yells At Amused DeMarcus Cousins Because He "Destroyed The League"
“You ruined the NBA! It’s real funny! [Unintelligible burbling] money!” said a damp fan in a Cavaliers jersey to DeMarcus Cousins during Sunday’s Warriors-Nuggets game. “Punk ass! He destroyed the league,” added the rapidly reddening man....
Trae Young Is Letting It Fly
Trae Young was a tempting punchline leading up to the draft, and even for sometime after. You can count me among those doubters, at least to the extent that I foresaw a future in which he the teeny depraved chucker would get steadily shredded on the other end of the floor. Which is to say, I foresaw...
It'll Be Fun To Watch LeBron And The Lakers Become Instant Oatmeal
Here’s what LeBron James had to say after his first taste of loss with the Lakers, a 128-119 season opener against the Blazers:...
Cricket Dingus Caught Napping, Is Run Out Like A Dingus
Day three of the second cricket Test match between Pakistan and Australia was most notable for one big-ass gaffe. Pakistan’s Azhar Ali was batting. He hit the ball. Ali, who had already hit 64, including four boundaries, thought this ball was also headed for the boundary—netting him an automatic fou...
Kevin Durant Laughs Off Joe Lacob's Plea To Re-Sign With Warriors
Kudos to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater for inspecting a deeply unholy NBA rite closely enough to spot something wonderful. Had you watched the Warriors ring presentation as carefully as The Athletic’s Anthony Slater, you would’ve seen Kevin Durant walk over to Warriors owner Joe Lacob, only for the...
Thank God The Boban Show Is Back
Nothing changes the complexion of an NBA game, or the welfare of its hoop apparatus, faster or more decisively than the release of Boban. The Nuggets knew this, but had no one who could impede him. The Clippers knew it, but they also know that Boban’s is a power that can be harnessed only for precio...
Teen Baked Her Grandpa's Ashes Into Sugar Cookies, Fed Them To Peers
Andy Knox, a student at Da Vinci Charter Academy in California, told KRCA-TV how he came across the dead grandpa cookies. “Two weeks ago, I was just about to go into my sixth-period class, environmental science, and a girl who was also in the class stopped me and asked me if I wanted a cookie. And I...
Ellen DeGeneres, Drunk With Power, Tries To Set Up Naomi Osaka With Michael B. Jordan
Life came fast at Naomi Osaka. After she skipped the hype machine of the junior circuit, went pro, and won some local fame in Japan, Osaka won her first professional title of any kind at Indian Wells this year, and her second at (sheesh) the U.S. Open. Within days of hoisting that second trophy, she...
Whatever The Hell Jaylen Brown Did To Joel Embiid Here, It Ruled<em></em><em></em>
Dear lord, Jaylen Brown is unwell in the best possible way. Every neuron in his big smart brain must have been hollering at him not to do what he did. Joel Embiid made opponents shoot 12 percent worse at the rim last season. He has made a living by—among many other things—scaring opponents out of e...
Novak Djokovic Is On A Blistering Tear
At Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic reascended, and he’s more or less stayed there ever since. It took awhile to fully jar himself out of his blue period, but the Serb is back to dominating in all in the old ways, barely leaving so much as a scrap for anyone else. When Novak Djokovic is in full flow, he ta...
Jimmy Butler Called A Players-Only Meeting To Smooth Things Over. Unless He Didn't. Unless He Did. This Is Exhausting.
Are you tired yet? Let me help....
Wolves Cancel Today's Practice, Block Out Media, And We're Talking Mark Wahlberg Now
Jimmy Butler had an astounding Wednesday. A “vociferous” Jimmy finally showed up to practice after three weeks of absence, humiliated his teammates in scrimmages, hurled dung at his coach, hollered at his GM, left the Wolves in a daze, then slid into the studio for a slick ESPN tell-all, and probabl...
Report: Jimmy Butler Showed Up At Timberwolves Practice To Humiliate The Stars And Yell At The GM
After faltering over the weekend, trade talks between the Timberwolves and Heat are reportedly back in action. Jimmy Butler, the player at the center of those talks who has been conspicuously avoiding his colleagues and who demanded to be shipped out of town by Friday, returned to Minnesota’s practi...
Roger Federer Literally Couldn't Hit This Ball
Today at the Shanghai Masters, Roger Federer played his first match since he left the U.S. Open looking like he’d fallen in the pool. Federer barely survived a sharp Daniil Medvedev to win 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, but the Russian, who ripped through seven wins last week to qualify and win Tokyo, made the shot...
Jimmy Butler Adds An Arbitrary Deadline To His Trade Demand<em></em>
Jimmy Butler, who has not practiced with the Timberwolves since September 25, still wants a trade out of Minnesota, and told head coach Tom Thibodeau as much on Monday, The Athletic reported today....
Nick Kyrgios Is Just Another Grump Railing At The Umpire Now
Nick Kyrgios is no longer playing well or amusingly enough to justify the usual apologist disclaimer, so let’s just get to the point. On Monday at the Shanghai Masters, where he has tanked for two years running, he once again flirted with nihilism as he lost to world No. 104 Bradley Klahn, 4-6, 6-4,...
Report: Man Conspicuously Omitted From Mavericks' Sexual Harassment Report Has Finally Been Fired
Last Friday the Dallas Morning News reported on Danny Bollinger, an 18-year Dallas Mavericks marketing employee with a history of sexual harassment allegations against him, who somehow did not appear in a 43-page independent report on the Mavericks’ workplace. ...
Khabib Nurmagomedov's Dad On His Son Fighting In The Stands: "I Am Going To Regard This Severely"
In the build-up to UFC 229, Conor McGregor said, among many other wild provocations, that his opponent’s father was a “quivering coward.” Why? Because the father had not stabbed Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov when the two appeared together at a mosque, and had been “showing fake respect out of fea...
Three Thai Tennis Umpires Banned For Life For Betting And Match-Fixing
Three Thai tennis umpires have been banned for life after being found guilty of match-fixing and betting offenses at low-level tournaments, according to a release from the Tennis Integrity Unit, an anti-corruption group....
