Six Ways The Cavs Can Get Back Into This Series
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been dominated by the Golden State Warriors through the first two games of the NBA Finals. Down 2-0, the Cavs are running short on chances to get back into the series, but I think they still have a shot if they make the following adjustments....
Baylor Won't Release Full Report On Sexual Assault Scandal, Remains Full Of Shit

Kevin Love In Concussion Protocol After Taking Elbow To The Head
This hasn’t exactly been the redemptive trip to the Finals Kevin Love was probably hoping for. After scoring 17 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in the Game 1 loss, Love had the worst night possible in Game 2. He scored five points and corralled three rebounds in 21 minutes, and had to remove himself...
The Cavs Should Replace Matthew Dellavedova With This Dog
I would be willing to bet a sizable amount of money that at some point during these NBA Finals, bad basketball player Matthew Dellavedova will throw a wildly inaccurate and embarrassing lob pass. It’s his signature move, after all....
<i>Overwatch</i> Is Salvation For Washed-Up Gamers Like Me
It’s been years since I’ve been able to enjoy playing an online first-person shooter. Back when I was a younger, worse version of myself, I used to be really good at them. I played more Rogue Spear than I care admit as a teen, and even in college I was still good enough to hold my own against Call o...
Shaun Livingston's Jumper Is The Poison On The Warriors' Blade
Imagine playing for the Cavaliers, and spending the better part of the last two nights stress-dreaming about how you will possibly be able to survive Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

Madison Bumgarner Socked Another Madison Bumdinger
In the top of the fifth inning of today’s game against the Braves, Giants ace Madison Bumgarner came to the plate with no outs, a man on first, and the scored tied at zero.

Here Comes The End Of Ryan Howard
To be fair, there isn’t really much left of Ryan Howard for us to lose. The guy who once socked 58 dingers in a single season and swung his bat like it was a piece of artillery has been gone for a while now. What’s remained is a husk earning $25 million to strike out a lot. Now, that poor sap is bei...
Padres Chairman Shits All Over His Own Players
The San Diego Padres are a very bad baseball team. Nobody needs to be reminded that they are bad, and honestly nobody really cares. They are the Padres! Bad is their natural state.

These A's Fans Give Me Hope
When a foul ball settles in a hard-to-reach spot and is beset upon by more than one fan, bad things usually happen. Ostensible adults end up looking like fools, fighting each other over a trash can, or snatching a souvenir away from a child. But last night in Oakland, two A’s fans proved that a scru...
The Rockies Sacrificed Seven Baseballs On The Altar Of The Dinger Gods
Last night in Colorado, whispers rode on the winds coming from the mountains in the west. Those who listened closely could hear a call to action. “Dingers,” the whispers said. “Slake our ancient thirst. Bring us... dingers.”...
The Giants Are Asking San Francisco For Millions In Tax Breaks
The San Francisco Giants have long peddled a charming fiction about their ballpark, billing it as the “the first privately financed ballpark in Major League Baseball since 1962.” That would be a fact worth commending if it were at all true, but according to a study conducted by urban planner Judith ...
Oh My God, Look At This Giant Fucking Alligator

Reddit user PARTYxDIRTYDAN was feeling pretty confident about the Oklahoma City Thunder’s chances against the Golden State Warriors.

Steph Curry Remembered Who He Is, And That Was That
