Fancy Toothpicks Are My Cleanest Vice
The summer I was nine, I learned how to brush my teeth with a twig. My grandpa handed me a small piece broken off what’s called a neem tree, and told me to chew on it.

How To Housetrain Your New Puppy

Dead Letters: Steph Curry Is A "Garbage Human Being" Edition
This morning, we brought you Steph Curry’s turnaround thunderbolt against the Phoenix Suns. It was a great shot, but according to this reader who emailed me 20 minutes after our article was published, it was actually extremely problematic and we should stop covering him.

Steph Curry Running Away Before His Threes Go In Is Rude, Wonderful, And Demoralizing
Last night’s Warriors-Suns game was silly with highlights, even by Golden State’s inflated standards; Brandon Knight hit five audacious three pointers in the third quarter to give the Suns a double digit lead; Mo Speights went all Dirk and kept his squad in the game during that run; Leandro Barbosa ...

What's Wrong With The Oklahoma City Thunder?
After the Thunder collapsed and let the Minnesota Timberwolves come back and beat them in Oklahoma City last night, Kevin Durant took the blame and wore the hairshirt. Even if it’s just KD self-flagellating, this quote sums up the sadness of OKC’s last month pretty succinctly:...
Diego Costa Sent Off After Getting Intimate With Gareth Barry (And Maybe Biting Him)
Everton downed Chelsea 2-0 in FA Cup action today, though the real excitement came in the final minutes as Diego Costa earned a red card for intruding on Gareth Barry’s personal space; Barry himself would be sent off minutes later, but let’s not miss the glory of Costa either kissing Barry, trying t...
