Even The Chicago Bulls' Security Staff Is Sick Of Joey Crawford's Shit
The Chicago Bulls have set up a kind of text-message hotline that fans can use to hail the assistance of the arena's security team. Reader Dave was at the game between the Bulls and the Wizards last night, and he tried his luck at getting referee Joey Crawford—who made a number of bad calls and whom...

We Have No Idea What <em>Hip Show</em> Is, But It's The Best Thing On TV
What you are watching is a clip from a Russian MMA-based show called Hip Show: Arena Combat, which is broadcast in America on AXS TV. It's really weird....

Jose Fernandez And Alex Wood Strike Out Everyone
Last night, the Marlins and Braves teamed up to do something that has never been done in the modern era: they combined to strike out 28 times in a nine inning game while failing to draw a single walk. After checking the math real quick, I believe that is an assload of strikeouts....

We Should All Aspire To Have A LinkedIn Profile Like Shaq's
No, this is not fake. Our pals at Slate have confirmed that Shaq's LinkedIn profile does indeed list the NBA legend's occupation as "Owner, a lot of companies." God bless you, Shaq....

Colin Cowherd Is Never Going To Stop Talking About John Wall
WDRB's Rick Bozich wrote a column on Monday in which he recalled the time ferret-faced radio huckster Colin Cowherd went on the air and essentially called John Wall a nigger. Bozich was critical of Cowherd, which led to Cowherd going on the air today and once again fucking that chicken....

Matt Harvey Tweets Bird-Flipping Picture, Immediately Deletes Account
Mets pitcher Matt Harvey tweeted out this picture today as a way to mark the six-month anniversary of his Tommy John surgery.

Tony Allen Is The Defensive Stopper You Can Root For
There's a certain stigma that often hounds players who are labeled as defensive stoppers in the NBA, a belief that no small part of their success is derived from the fact that they are simply willing to play like assholes. This was true of Bruce Bowen, who was never all that feisty but wasn't shy a...


Hank The Dog Got A Hank House
Hank the dog has been having a swell time acting as the Milwaukee Brewers' unofficial mascot, but there's something he's been missing: a place to lay his little Hank head at night. Hank no longer has to worry about that, though, because the Brewers gave him a Hank House....

Rich Asshole Mark Emmert Says He'd Be Happy To Be An Unpaid Athlete
NCAA president Mark Emmert was a guest on Dan Patrick's show this morning, and he said all the stupid things we've heard him say many times before while trying to defend the scam that is the NCAA. The entire interview is worth a listen, because Patrick isn't afraid to challenge Emmert, but I partic...

FSU Fan's "Royals" Cover Was Such A Bad Idea
Every sports-themed cover of "Royals" is a no-good, stupid idea, but this one really takes the cake. What makes it so much worse than all the others? I'm gonna go ahead and say all of it....

Paul Pierce Is Still The Truth When He Needs To Be
I went to the Barclays Center last month and watched the Brooklyn Nets kick the crap out of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Paul Pierce played 19 minutes in that game, going 5-of-6 from three-point range and scoring all of his 22 points in the first half, which he spent leisurely jogging between the arcs, ...

It's So Hard To Escape The Blazers
It's a question that we've asked before, and after falling to the Blazers in overtime last night, it's one that the Rockets are probably asking themselves a lot this morning: How the hell do you beat the Blazers?...

Ty Lawson Had A Real Good Time At The Avs Game
The Avalanche's Game 1 win over Minnesota was about as exciting as playoff hockey gets, and nobody in the building was immune to getting caught up in the moment. That includes Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson....
