Let's Set Some Dang Goals
Goals. How do they work? They’re as mystifying as magnets. Apart from very concrete, snaggable things—a new job offer, a school acceptance, sufficient savings for a new car—lots of people just try to do things well until they get incrementally better at the thing, never having any firm standard to m...

Here, Have Five Solid Minutes Of Warriors Highlights
I’m going to be honest, before I clicked play on this video I thought to myself, “Man, I’ve spent the whole dang season watching Warriors highlights. I’m going to get bored with this in under 30 seconds.” Then I ended up watching the whole thing from start to finish....
This Weird Camera Tracks What Makes Your Pet Happy
I’m not going to tell you that your dog doesn’t care about social media because his sense of animalistic wonder about the world is more compelling and pure than your obsession with likes and retweets.

Today, Media Members Decided Whether The Pelicans Will Pay Anthony Davis $24 Million
Today is the deadline for the couple hundred NBA reporters and broadcasters to submit their awards ballots. Some of their decisions—Steph Curry for MVP, Karl-Anthony Towns for Rookie of the Year—are quite easy, and others—Coach of the Year, All-Defensive Team—are not. But none is more interesting th...

How To Enjoy Some Delicious Beef Tongue

Well Shit, That Was A Fun Night Of Basketball
There are, obviously, rules that explicitly govern sporting events. But there are also implicit rules, too, ones that say things like You always play to win and No player is bigger than the game.
