GRRM Will Release Pages In 2017, Just Not The Right Ones
Self-professed pages-haver George R.R. Martin recently responded to a comment on his blog about whether The Winds Of Winter, the long-awaited followup to 2011's A Dance With Dragons, will actually come out this year. The penultimate book in the Song Of Ice And Fire series, the source material for H...

Enes Kanter Broke His Arm Punching A Chair [Update]
Thunder big man Enes Kanter, clearly fed up with his team’s first-half struggles against the lowly Dallas Mavericks, took his frustrations out on an innocent bench chair and socked it. He probably didn’t expect it to bite back, but he somehow failed to properly punch a stationary chair, and he left ...
Stanford Band No Longer Banned From Stanford Land For Not Aligning With Stanford Brand
A little over a month ago, the Stanford band was suspended through the Spring 2017 quarter for a slate of alcohol problems and other conduct policy violations. A university conduct board recommended suspending them through the end of next school year (meaning they’d be back for the 2018 football sea...
The Pro Bowl's Skill Competitions Were Surprisingly Fun<em></em>
The NFL spiced up the normally staid Pro Bowl week with its first ever skills competition. Some of those skills were, predictably, boring (e.g: throw a football over there, catch a bunch of footballs), but a few were much more fun than expected. The NFC beat the AFC 3-2 in the five-challenge gauntle...
Electricity Turned Off At Rio's Maracanã Stadium After Olympic Organizers Can't Pay Bill<em></em>
Two weeks ago we wrote about the decaying state of Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic facilities and noted that the Maracanã stadium, despite missing seats and dealing with a mold problem, was still hosting club soccer. The stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, and it’s one of the most famous st...
Here Are Your NBA All-Star Reserves
I hope you like watching the Warriors play basketball, because both Klay Thompson and Draymond Green made the NBA All-Star game for the second year running. DeAndre Jordan somehow made it over Rudy Gobert, which is a travesty, but at least Handsome Gordon Hayward got in there....
A Brief History Of Pro Cyclists Getting Lost And Making Wrong Turns In The Middle Of Races
Earlier this week, Colombian sprinting wizard Fernando Gaviria won the opening stage of this year’s Tour of San Juan thanks to a strong leadout from Tom Boonen, and also thanks to a good chunk of the peloton getting confused and going the wrong way at an intersection....
Rajon Rondo Went In On Dwyane Wade And Jimmy Butler
The beef that Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler slapped on the grill after last night’s chokejob against the Hawks has just been flipped over and salted by Rajon Rondo, who went in on the team’s leaders this evening on Instagram....
The Bulls Are Melting Down
A whole season’s worth of frustration came to a head for the Chicago Bulls tonight. Chicago is 23-24, just a hair ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for the eighth seed, and they have an indisputably worthy all-star starter in Jimmy Butler. Yet the team is clearly harboring some internal tensions and toni...
Dion Waiters Is A Clutch Genius Now, I Guess
Dion Waiters has never met a contested three-pointer that he didn’t want to kiss on the mouth, and somehow, that tendency has helped him knock in a pair of game-winners this week against the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets, the opposite of the Golden State Warriors....
The Cavaliers' Bad Week Just Got Worse
What’s a bad way for the Cleveland Cavaliers to follow up a 2-5 lull and a very public callout of the front office?...
Daniel Cormier Will Fight Anthony Johnson At UFC 210
Daniel Cormier, UFC light heavyweight champion, will take on Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, the weight class’s top contender, at UFC 210 in Buffalo. The title fight will happen on April 8, four months after the two were supposed to fight at UFC 206....
Malcolm Brogdon, The NBA's Second-Best Rookie, Has A Habit Of Dunking On People
Joel Embiid and his historic season aside, this class of NBA rookies hasn’t looked all that strong yet. One half of a season is not enough time to come to a conclusion about anyone’s career, but so far this class has been, as NBA.com’s Scott Howard-Cooper put it a month ago, bad. The number-one pick...
Justin Tucker Nailed A 75-Yard Field Goal
The Pro Bowl is a meaningless spectacle that is only as valuable as the silly highlights it provides. For the first time, there will be a skills competition of sorts, which includes catching footballs dropped by a drone. That might be cool, but it probably won’t be nearly as impressive as Justin Tuc...
Mike D'Antoni Joins Ongoing Roast Of Alternative Facts-Peddler Sean Spicer
The Rockets have gone 3-5 over their past eight games, but if you look at those numbers in a different light, they’ve actually gone 8-0. Most cowardly media elites won’t tell you this....
Report: Trump's Example Of Voter Fraud Was A Bullshit Story About A German Pro Golfer Who Couldn't Vote For Him<em></em>
Donald Trump has kicked off his time in the White House by watching cable news, pushing for a litany of ghoulish new policies, and lying profusely. One of his claims is that three to five million people voted illegally against him in the election in order to ensure that he lost the popular vote. Le...
