Fox News Host Laura Ingraham Blows The Dog Whistle On LeBron James [Updated]
Laura Ingraham is a Fox News personality whose job is to say nice things about Donald Trump and generally seem kind of impatient, a job that she carries off while exuding all the charisma and personal warmth of a clenched butt cheek. Last night, during her show Laura Ingraham Would Like To Speak To ...
Report: MSU Basketball Player Under Investigation For Possible Criminal Sexual Conduct
ESPN’s Outside the Lines reported tonight that a member of the Michigan State basketball team, Brock Washington, is under investigation for possible criminal sexual conduct. Campus police took a report back in August from a woman who said Washington “forcibly groped her without her permission,” Paul...
Well That Was A Spectacular, Historic Game From Nikola Jokic
The Denver Nuggets have this acutely entertaining habit of hanging one million or so points on their opponents, and nobody is more central to that sort of offensive eruption than Serbian center Nikola Jokic. And tonight’s 134-123 thriller against the Bucks showed exactly why, as Jokic had one of the...
Referee Ejects Arizona Cheerleader
An Arizona cheerleader hit the showers early after being ejected for shouting something at a referee midway through the second half of the Wildcats’ game in Tempe against rivals Arizona State....
The Once-Unstoppable Celtics Are Returning Back To Earth
Brad Stevens warned everyone. After the Celtics’ 16-game winning streak was finally snapped earlier this year, he admitted that the impressive run of wins right after the team lost Gordon Hayward was “a little bit of a mirage.” Still, though, Boston was at the top of the Eastern Conference for most ...

Markelle Fultz Shooting Form Update: Shot Better?
No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz has apparently been granted permission to shoot outside the paint. He was exercising this new freedom in the shootaround before the Sixers’ win over the Heat last night....
I Walked The Halls Of The School That Got Shot Up, And Yet I Feel Almost Nothing
What struck me was not that I was shocked, but rather that it felt as if it were my turn. It was my turn to hear there was a school shooting—17 dead, more than a dozen wounded—and find out it was a school whose hallways I had walked myself. I grew up in Coral Springs, in the northeast corner of Flor...
Here Are Two Minutes Of Loopy Bill Walton Quips From Last Night
Bill Walton, Doris Burke and Dave Pasch did commentary for last night’s Warriors-Blazers game. It was in honor of Oregon’s 159th birthday, Walton said. And it was a blast....
Which Fanbase Looks The Most Like Its Coach?
On this week’s Deadcast, our own (now departed) Lindsey Adler noted that most Orioles fans look like manager Buck Showalter, and now I am haunted by the specter of 40,000 dour goons packing into Camden Yards, all wearing satin jackets that are definitely one size too small. But Showalter is hardly a...
At Least Draymond Green Is An Honorable Bettor
Between the serial testicle-kicking and overall dickishness, it’s easy to be annoyed by Draymond Green. But after last night’s loss to the Blazers, he showed that when it comes to settling bets he is a chill and honorable dude....

Isaiah Thomas And Rajon Rondo Ejected After Feisty Dance Routine
This is far from one of the most interesting beefs of the NBA season, but you might remember that last month, former Celtics champion Rajon Rondo had a pretty sick burn on former Celtics non-champion Isaiah Thomas....
Steve Kerr: "It Doesn't Seem To Matter To Our Government That Children Are Being Shot To Death"
Steve Kerr—never one to shy away from expressing his takes on politics and gun control in particular—was asked about the horrifying school shooting in Broward County, Florida before tonight’s game against the Blazers. A subdued Kerr called for Americans who are also fed the hell up with the NRA’s in...
Kyrie Irving Has No Concern For Earthly Matters Like TV Families<em></em>
The Celtics ran one of those cute commercial-break videos at their game tonight where players answer innocuous questions about their pop culture faves. Naturally, it served as another opportunity for Kyrie Irving to show off that he is way cooler than everyone else....
Dwight Howard Seemingly Forgets That You're Allowed To Jump In Basketball
Dwight Howard, who is listed at 6-foot-11 with a seven-foot wingspan, decided to use absolutely none of his god-given physical gifts as he tried to score on his old team tonight. Maybe he thought it would be unfair to the shorter Evan Fournier; maybe, in a burst of whimsy, he wanted to pretend to be...
