These Tweets During Last Night's Mavericks Game Are Probably Going To Cost Mark Cuban Some Money
Mark Cuban complains about everything all the time, which makes him a lovable rogue among boring owners sometimes, and also makes him pretty damn insufferable other times.

Coach K Apologizes For Lecturing Dillon Brooks And Lying About It
The Oregon Ducks dispatched Duke in the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday, 82-68.

When Running Away Before Steph Curry Shoots A Three Goes Wrong
The Warriors won last night, as they always do, bringing their record to 65-7 on the season. They need to go 8-2 to get to 73 wins, which is bonkers. We spend a lot of time lauding them, specifically for their incredibly fun habit of running away before Steph Curry’s shots go in, but last night, Kla...

Jurgen Klinsmann Blew It
The United States Men’s National Team will probably qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Yes, they are trailing Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago in the Group C standings.

Aluminum Bat Flips Can Be Righteous Too

The Sacramento Kings Found A Few New Ways To Make Their Season Even More Of A Joke
The Sacramento Kings shouldn’t really be as newsworthy as they are at this point in the NBA season, and yet they are finding new, creative ways to drive home just what a joke of a franchise they are.

Cute And Good Puppy On The Field Gets Whisked Away Like A Little Baby
Capivariano FC beat Oeste 2-1 on Wednesday in some hot Campeonato Paulista action down in Brazil, but I don’t care about that and you don’t care about.

<i>The Portable Veblen </i>Mixes Uneasy Marital Comedy With Psychic Squirrels, As One Does

Report: It's Mourinho Time, Baby!
The best parts of the first half of this very weird Premier League season were most certainly Chelsea melting down and playing like dogpiss and also all the wacky hijinks José Mourinho got himself into.

Gregg Popovich's Scheming Threw The Warriors Off Their Game
The Spurs dealt the Warriors their seventh loss of the season last night down in San Antonio, and held the Dubs to just 79 points in the process.
