Russell Westbrook Literally Got A Dent In His Face
Russell Westbrook whirling dervished his way to a third straight triple-double last night, the kind of performance we've come to expect in his incredible February.

Oh My God Oh My God I Think Russell Westbrook Could Beat Up My Dad
Last night, while we were all arguing about a black-and-blue dress, Russell Westbrook and a gaggle of tall men who were not Kevin Durant were a half-hour down the road from where the llamas were dodging the cops, playing the Phoenix Suns. If you missed it, or forgot, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost...

How Did A Texas A&M Recruit's Dad End Up With A Trademarked Hashtag?

Mack, you see, managed to come out of the recruiting process not only with a scholars...
Teuvo!
Alright, so maybe it's unrealistic to expect Blackhawks prospect Teuvo Teravainen to fill the skates and the scoresheets of the injured Patrick Kane. But the heralded 20-year-old, in his return to the big club, scored on his very first shift. And it was nasty....
Paul George Is Practicing Again

<i>Headhunters </i>Proves That Norway Is Secretly A Super-Messed-Up Place

It just keeps happening: a TV reporter's live shot covering bad weather gets the most effective illustration when a car wrecks onscreen.

Report: ESPN And Fox Sports Nearly Traded Employees
Hey, here's a fun little story. Remember last week when Fox Sports's Katie Nolan went on the BS Report, and she and Bill Simmons kinda coyly reminisced about a failed attempt at bringing her over to Grantland, in the way that people talk about these things on the BS Report, where they don't actua...

Iamsu! Is Criminally Underrated
You know what was surprising? Not seeing Bay Area rapper Iamsu!'s 2014 album Sincerely Yours getting much love on any year-end lists.
