James Harden And Clint Capela Are Here To Bless Us With Alley-Oops

Clint Capela is a passable basketball player. But he is very, very nice to pass to if you are the new point guard incarnation of James Harden.

Football And Officials Go Flying In Wild Grey Cup Play

Ottawa is stomping Calgary in tonight’s Canadian Super Bowl, which is one of the most entertaining football events of the year but which gets next to no promotion or notice by ESPN, the CFL’s U.S. broadcast partner.
