John Wall, Goddamn
The Wizards lost a close one at home tonight to the Indiana Pacers. The end of the game was bad and dumb and full of nothing but free throws, but John Wall went and hit one of the wackiest circus shots of the season late in the game to keep the Wiz boys in it....

The Skeptics' MLS Season Preview
There are plenty of reasons not to watch MLS. The soccer’s kinda boring, there’s a healthy dose of Soviet-ish central planning to the whole operation, and the league’s marketing is extremely “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” If you’re hoping for EPL quality or at least Argentine Second Division quality,...

Carmelo Anthony Sounds So Sad After The Knicks' Latest Collapse
The Knicks have had a rather tempestuous last month. They fired Derek Fisher, got into just the dumbest heckling controversy, and had to hold a press conference denying that Kurt Rambis was, in fact, horny online.

The North London Derby Was Great For Leicester City
After losing Francis Coquelin to a red card and down 2-1, Arsenal looked more fraught than they’d ever been during their long, slow settling from Premier League favorites to title outsiders.

Cal And Their Megatalented Freshmen Are Going To Be A Nightmare In The NCAA Tournament
This has been a particularly strong year for Pac-12 basketball. Oregon came out of sorta-nowhere and won the conference title, but below them, Utah has been excellent, as has Arizona.

PGA Tour Pro Gary Woodland Removes His Pants And Takes A Shot In His Underwear
Golf is, allegedly, a gentleman’s game. Some may make the argument that thinly veiled ass is gentlemanly, and I’m in no position to debate them, especially considering that Gary Woodland’s trousers were white. Is showing your butt (but just a little bit) more noble than getting your pants all muddy?...
The Texans And Browns May Or May Not Be Interested In Colin Kaepernick, Depending Who You Believe
The Super Bowl was just three weeks ago but the NFL offseason is already in full swing. Thus far we’ve seen combine dong, Hard Knocks rumors, and the Ryan boys styling out.
