100-Year-Old Superhuman Orville Rogers Sets New World Record In Race Of Scootin' Grandpas [CORRECTED]
Look at this hightailin’ geezer! CORRECTION: While Orville is, in fact, a hightailin’ geezer, and certainly the man in green is also a hightailin’ geezer—perhaps the hightailin’-est geezer in the history of geezers—it turns out Orville is in white, in lane 2. It’s an impressive run, and he did indee...
Michigan's Miracle Victory Cost The Utter Devastation Of Houston's Devin Davis
Before Jordan Poole sank his amazing buzzer-beating three to bring Michigan from behind to beat Houston, Cougars senior Devin Davis was at the line with four seconds on the clock and his team up two points. A make would’ve meant Michigan could do no better than force overtime; two makes would’ve ice...
The Rockets Are Driving Opposing Coaches Insane
Thursday night, after his Clippers lost to the Rockets in Houston, Doc Rivers described the officiating as “a complete joke” and all but chalked up the five-point loss to a 23-8 free throw disparity between the two teams. For this act of public criticism, Rivers was fined $15,000 by the league....

This weekend’s Valspar Championship wound up quite a bit more thrilling than your average pre-Masters tune-up: Tiger Woods came into Sunday near the top of the leaderboard, and spent the afternoon just off the lead, tantalizingly close to a breakthrough win for this comeback chapter of his career.

The Raptors Are Ridiculously Good
The Toronto Raptors have now won eight in a row, after coolly dispatching the horrid Knicks Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

Kevin Ollie Will Contest UConn's Dubious, Non-Specific "For Cause" Termination
That Kevin Ollie was fired after guiding the Huskies through consecutive losing seasons was not especially surprising.

The Memphis Grizzlies, Losers of 17 Straight, Are The True Tank Lords
The Grizzlies have had an absolute nightmare of a season.

Tiger Woods Is In The Lead In The Third Round Of An Honest-To-God Golf Tournament
Oh man. Tiger Woods is atop the leaderboard in the third round of the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida.

The Fraudsters At Jimmy Haslam's Pilot Flying J Had Some Very Racist Takes On The Browns And Raiders
A U.S. District Court Judge has unsealed transcripts of secretly recorded tapes gathered in the investigation of fraud perpetrated by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam’s Pilot Flying J company.
