Anti-Doping Agency Says Kenya Is In The Midst Of A Doping Crisis; No One Cares
The run-up to this summer’s Olympics in Rio have been a disaster, between the prevalence of the Zika virus, Brazil’s political upheaval, and deadly problems with Rio’s Olympic infrastructure. It doesn’t help matters that the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) is in the midst of a meltdown, with all man...
Is This The End For Tim Duncan?
The Spurs’ season is over, and it’s time to ask the question that it feels like we’ve been asking all our lives: What’s going to happen to Tim Duncan?...
Zika And A Political Crisis Have Made The Rio Olympics A Looming Disaster
Writing in the Harvard Public Health Review, University of Ottawa professor of population health Amir Attaran makes a persuasive argument that the outbreak of the Zika virus in Brazil is so dangerous that the upcoming Rio de Janeiro Olympics—scheduled to kick off in 84 days—should be postponed, move...
36 Years Ago Today, Dr. J Scored The Coolest Basket In NBA History
On May 11, 1980, in the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, Julius Erving drove around Mark Landsberger, who managed to pin him under the basket with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s help. But he easily evaded both defenders with the most audacious layup I’ve ever seen in the NBA, swooping up from unde...
What The Hell Is Dwane Casey Doing?
Raptors head coach Dwane Casey has been put in an extremely unenviable position as he tries to guide his team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan have had their abilities banished to the Negative Zone, Jonas Valanciunas is out with a knee injury, and his most reliable scor...
The Thunder Need Kevin Durant To Hulk Out
The story of yesterday’s Game 4 between the Spurs and Thunder is obviously Kevin Durant, who led the Thunder to victory with 41 points and outscored San Antonio 17-16 in the fourth quarter. But just as important as all the shots Durant made were all the shots Russell Westbrook didn’t take....
How Did Lalita Babar Put Up The World-Leading Steeple Time?
Notice anything strange about Letsrun’s listing of the world-leading performances from last weekend?...
Get Fucked, John Kasich
What even was John Kasich’s sweaty, affronted, whatever-happened-to-the-responsible-grownups-in-this-party act if not an even more insulting and ahistorical version of “Make America Great Again”? When was the last time the Republican Party had responsible grownups? When it sold a needless, catastrop...
Everybody Is In Big Trouble If LeBron Finds His Jumper
There’s not much the Atlanta Hawks can say about the record-setting three-pocalypse the Cavs laid on them last night. Sometimes the ball just won’t stop going in the hoop, and all you can do is turn your palms up, shrug, and move on. What should concern the Hawks, and the rest of the remaining playo...
Farewell To Ted Cruz, Self-Made Sucker
Ted Cruz, the worst possible man, lost the Indiana Republican primary to Donald Trump yesterday. He’d staked it as his last stand in the nominating race, even brokering a cynical armistice with John Kasich to unify anybody-but-Trump voters in the state, and got clobbered anyway, by some 17 percentag...
Kyle Lowry Is Stuck In Playoff Hell Again
Kyle Lowry is living in some kind of nightmare. In Game 1 against the Heat last night, he hit a hero’s shot at the end of regulation to force overtime. It was the kind of bucket that seemed destined to lead the Raptors’ commemorative DVD of playoff highlights, but it was rendered meaningless when th...
What's Your Favorite Play From The Sixers' Official T.J. McConnell Highlight Reel?
The Philadelphia Sixers invite you to enjoy the “scrap, hustle, drives, step-backs, and spirit” that define T.J. McConnell, a rookie point guard who averaged six points and 4.5 assists in 19 minutes per game this season, and starred in the grimmest of all 76er anecdotes....
George Will Is A Haughty Dipshit
George Will should have been left unemployed and starving ages ago. Newspapers are dying off and people despise the media more than they have ever despised the media—which is saying a lot—and yet here fucking George Will remains, along with the Noonans and Friedmans and Brookses of the world, gainfu...
That'll Do, Eastern Conference. That'll Do.
A depressing realization dawned on me as I struggled to stay awake through last night’s Game 5s in Atlanta and Toronto: These teams are shitty. Make a squad of the 10 best players from these four teams—the Hawks, Celtics, Pacers, and Raptors—and any of the West’s top three teams would put it down in...
A Complete, Jovial Guide To The 2016 Senate Races
With six months and change still to go until November 8, you’ve probably learned more this election cycle than you ever hoped to hear about loony wall-construction-financing schemes, losing unspecified competitions to China, and/or the self-reported approximate dimensions of a certain candidate’s ge...
Two Dead After Rio De Janeiro Cycle Path Collapses Into Sea
A 150-foot elevated cycle path section in Rio de Janeiro collapsed this morning after it was hit by a wave, killing at least two of the five cyclists who fell into the sea. The 2.4 mile long Tim Maia Cycle Path—completed in January at a cost of $12.7 million—was one of the many infrastructure projec...

Andrew Shaw Miraculously Remembers What He Said To Official, Apologizes [Update]

Rowdy Nick Mangold Heckled The Penguins At Last Night's Rangers Game
Jets offensive lineman Nick Mangold was hard to miss at Tuesday’s Penguins-Rangers game. He was the guy who looked like Nick Mangold yelling at Pittsburgh’s bench....
Rex Ryan Introduces Donald Trump, A Man Who Has Also Failed A Lot In New York, At Rally
Bills head coach Rex Ryan showed up at Donald Trump’s rally Monday in Buffalo; it would be nice to think that the two joined forces by bonding over their important fathers giving them a step up in their careers. In Ryan’s introduction, he expressed admiration for Trump showing the courage to say wha...
