Brandon Knight Air Balls A Layup, Just Can't Catch A Goddamn Break
Poor Brandon Knight. First he gets his ankles mercilessly broken by Kyrie Irving, then he gets murdered live on television by DeAndre Jordan, and now this. It may be time to fake an injury and just sit the rest of the season out. ...

Did You Know? Deer Fight Like Idiots
Mike Simundson, a photographer for Keloland TV, captured this deer fight in a Sioux Falls, S.D., park last week. The technique: slap the shit out of each other and slowly back your opponent into a set of bleacher seats. You'll never lose another deer fight again....

Is Monkey In The Middle The Meanest Childhood Game?
I spent spring break at my sister's house last week and one night when I was there I was on the couch, watching the tourney and picking at my feet. I tore off this flap of skin that had really bugged me all day, and when I tore it off, BLOOD EVERYWHERE. My big toe was hemorrhaging plasma. I ran on m...
Mark Emmert Is The NCAA's Teflon Don
Since taking over as president of the NCAA in 2010, Mark Emmert has overseen the unjust railroading of the Penn State football program in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, as well as the shoddily run investigation into the University of Miami, which only succeeded in revealing the NCAA to...

You'll Never Get Nate Robinson's Lucky Charms

It Was Carmelo Vs. Kobe, On Opposite Coasts
Kobe Bryant might be the most predictable man on Earth. He took the court knowing that Carmelo Anthony had just gone for 50 points against Miami, with a stat sheet thick with shots and little else.

Jeremy Evans Was Still Beyond The Arc When This Oop Was Alleyed
Jeremy Evans got into the Jazz's 112-102 win over Portland for all of three minutes, but he made it count. Both he and Jamaal Tinsley were still in three-point territory when Tinsley let fly with a no-look lob to the streaking Evans, who won the 2012 dunk contest and came in second this season....
