Kanye West's New Song Is So Bullshit
I’ve been a Kanye West stan since high school. I’m on record as saying he has like 18 perfect songs. I’ve dressed up as Kanye for Halloween, twice. I’ve publicly hailed “All Day” as an unmatched sonic triumph even though I know it’s just okay. 808s & Heartbreak made me cry, and My Beautiful Dark Twi...

Those Jamokes In Oregon Aren't Terrorists, They're Jamokes
The American political lexicon has an appropriate word for the armed men conspicuously loitering in part of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge instead of going home. It is not terrorist or militia or occupation or revolution or movement or front or army or resistance. The word is jamoke. “Get...

The Scandinavian Crime Fiction Starter Kit
So you stayed up all night to finally read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and now you’re hooked on Scandinavian noir. Welcome to the club—after ABBA and Lego bricks, crime novels are the region’s biggest cultural export. But while Girl and its sequels brought the genre onto the global stage, Stieg...

Roy Hibbert, Who Is Still Around, Dunks And Dabs
Roy Hibbert’s transformation from dominant NBA center to dilapidated coat rack was completed a long time ago, but the big guy is still taking the floor for the Lakers every night, racking up seven points and six rebounds per 26 minutes of stilted run. Every now and then, he even does something notew...

The Suns Are A Wreck, And The Owner Is Blaming "Millennial Culture"
It wasn’t so long ago that the Phoenix Suns were one of the NBA’s feel-good stories. Jeff Hornacek took a weirdly constructed lineup, featuring a two- and then three-headed point guard monster, and turned the Suns into one of the more exciting young teams in the league. But the roster’s been rejigge...

Petros Papadakis Hams It Up
The Challenge with Fred Roggin is a Southern California post-game institution—something like a localized George Michael’s Sports Machine on ketamine and offering prizes to viewers—so here’s co-host Petros Papadakis celebrating the end of the season with a pig. I can’t really explain this, and it get...

Thad Matta Does Best Stanford Shithead Impression
Somebody must have told Thad Matta about the Stanford shithead who won’t shut up, because the Ohio State head coach popped up behind forward Marc Loving during his Big Ten Network post-game interview tonight to shout out “HEISMAN!” a few times. It’s humorous, but you should really see the time he re...

Bucs' Mike Evans Ejected For "Disrespectfully Addressing An Official"
This NFL season has been a cornucopia of myriad interesting officiating calls, and Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans decided to finish the regular season with dessert by getting ejected for disrespecting an official:...

Jimmy Butler Loses His Mind, Scores 40 Points In One Half
The Bulls went up to Toronto without Derrick Rose today in need of some momentum. Chicago appears to have fairly structural problems with their chemistry and offense, but they still have the talent to mount a decent challenge in the East. There’s a glut of kinda-sorta good teams in the East and, as ...

Kenneth Faried Leaves Court On Stretcher After Apparent Head/Neck Injury [UPDATE]
Kenneth Faried left the Warriors’ arena in Oakland on a stretcher after the Nuggets’ forward suffered an injury to the head or neck late in Denver’s overtime loss to Golden State tonight. Here’s how the play looked in live action:...

TCU Overcomes 31-Point Halftime Deficit, Beats Oregon 47-41 In Overtime
An Alamo Bowl that looked just like the rest of this boring bowl season when Oregon and TCU headed to the locker rooms with the Ducks up 31-0 at halftime became a stunning win for the Horned Frogs after Oregon starting QB Vernon Adams Jr. left the game due to injury and the Ducks’ offense suddenly d...

"What In The World Just Happened There!?" Maryland & Northwestern Combine For Wild Sequence
Northwestern is sporting its best men’s basketball team in years—maybe ever, given that the Wildcats have never, ever made the NCAA tournament—and Maryland’s fourth-ranked Terrapins are in Evanston tonight looking to darken those bright Chicago skies (heh, heh)....

TCU Blocks Oregon Punt; Oregon Ends Up With First Down Anyway
I’ve only seen this happen once before in my life: a team gets their punt blocked, recovers the blocked punt, and gains a first down. This is incredibly bad luck for a TCU team that’s down big (and down their quarterback)....

Dexter Manley Says Black Quarterbacks Are More Mobile Because "They're Probably Used To Running From The Law"
Former Washington star defensive end Dexter Manley already got banned from one D.C. radio station for offensive comments, and he raised eyebrows again today on CBS station WUSA when he had some interesting thoughts on black quarterbacks. Specifically: that black quarterbacks like to run because they...
