L.A. Has The Worst Idea On Housing
At a time when affordable housing is a national urban crisis, we usually turn to precious, self-righteous burgs like San Francisco for the most atrocious examples of NIMBYism. But now, Los Angeles may have them all beat. ...

Rajon Rondo Threw The Spiciest Outlet Pass Of The Season

Everyone In<i> Taboo </i>Is Repulsive And That's Good As Hell
I’ll watch pretty much any British period drama that’s available to me because I like cool costumes and accents. Penny Dreadful? Sign me the hell up. Peaky Blinders? You bet your ass. The Crown? Ehhh, I don’t know, maybe. It’s maybe not technically a “period” drama, but I’d say 80 percent of the rea...
Half Of Chris Paul's All-Star Fan Votes Came From Justin Bieber And His Fans
NBA fans have voted on All-Star starters for decades, and have voted for them online since 2001. This year fans were able to vote on the NBA’s website, app, and a variety of social media platforms. But as Zaza Pachulia’s near-All-Star appearance showed, it’s a pretty easy system to game, right?...
A President You Can Drink Bleach With
This seems a good moment to revisit “He seems like he’d be a good guy to have a beer with,” the shorthand explanation for the rank anti-intellectualism that put George W. Bush in the White House 17 years ago and later flowered, in our somehow even dumber present, into “Uh actually stupid idiots are ...
Glen Davis Talks A Whole Bunch Of Shit About Doc Rivers
Glen “Big Baby” Davis has always had something of a tense relationship with his former coach, Doc Rivers. During an interview with Fox Sports’ Chris Broussard, Davis released some of that tension and took a few shots at Rivers....
This Is Still Russell Westbrook's Season
The Oklahoma City Thunder are 57 games into their season and Russell Westbrook is still—still!—averaging a triple-double. After laying 38-12-14 on the Knicks last night, Westbrook is heading into the All-Star break averaging 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists per game. It seems all but guarantee...
I'm So Mad That This Sentence Exists
Brands are bad, marketing is bad, entertainment is bad, corporations are bad, the media is bad, flacks are bad, press releases are bad, the state of sports business reporting is very very bad, Hollywood is bad, soda is bad, tie-ins are bad, synergy is bad, Darren Rovell is post-human, commercials ar...
Warriors Prove Their Basketball Strength By Bludgeoning Kings With Insane Third-Quarter Run
The Sacramento Kings went into halftime of tonight’s game against the Golden State Warriors with a three-point lead, all the momentum, and 24 minutes of Draymond Green-less basketball ahead of them. Instead of DeMarcus Cousins leading a valiant repeat victory, they ended up crammed in the dang toile...

What Makes A Dunk Contest Champ?
I used to say that the dunk contest was dead. The days when the NBA’s elite players competed were long gone, I said, along with lots of basketball fans. Most of the modern dunks are rehashes of old ones. The event has plateaued. ...
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Is So Bad He Made The NFL Look Like The Good Guy<em></em>
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott went on Glenn Beck’s radio show yesterday and spewed some bullshit about the NFL (too political!), Colin Kaepernick (snowflake!), sanctuary cities (bad!), and something called the Convention of States project (good!), which, apparently, is a retrograde initiative designed to s...
Draymond Green Criticizes James Dolan's "Slave Master Mentality"
The pissing match between Charles Oakley and James Dolan’s Swollen Ego has mercifully ended, and now the Knicks’ moribund season can float away on an ice floe and die in peace. The fallout from the extremely public spat, however, isn’t over....

Time For Unions To Figure Out The Internet
Since the Reagan era, wages have stagnated, unions have declined, and average workers have lost power. If we want any of that to change in the near future, we will have to look... everywhere. ...
