Kendrick Perkins's Follow-Through Is Just The Best
This Youtube video is titled "Kendrick Perkins YOLO follow through," and I honestly can't think of a better description. Perk doesn't take a lot of jumpers (he made two in last night's win over San Antonio, fulfilling Mayan prophecy), so when he found himself in space for his second, he wasn't abo...

Brian Urlacher Is Getting Really Tired Of Chicago Fans Booing The Bears
The Packers rolled into Chicago and clinched the NFC North, in a game that nearly wasn't as close as the score makes it seem. It was Green Bay's sixth straight win over the Bears, their ninth in the last 11, and hell—Bears fans have long memories—their 31st in the last 45 dating back two decades. Me...

The adorable, hand-scrawled letter you see above was splashed on the screen during last night's Sunday Night Football broadcast and was written by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick when he was in fourth grade. It's a motivational letter in which young Kaepernick lays out his plans fo...
Russian Soccer Fans Claim To Be Non-Racists In Letter That Is Totally Racist
Zenit St. Petersburg, one of the most successful teams in the Russian Premier League, recently signed two players of mixed ethnicity.

Trollface And Pedobear Decided To Take In Yesterday's Rockets-Raptors Game
While the Portland Trail Blazers have proven time and again to have the NBA's weirdest fans (though OKC is quickly contesting that title), you'll occasionally see some wackiness up north at Air Canada Centre. After all, you'd have to have a few screws loose to fork over loonies to watch such a rott...

Wake Forest Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik Will No Longer Be Taking Callers On His Radio Show Because They Were All Angry Wake Forest Fans
Wake Forest was once a proud basketball program: only two different men helmed the team from 1934-1965, Murray Greason and Bones McKinney, and those two built a strong winning tradition. Carl Tracy stabilized the ship after some turnover in the 70s, and from 1989-2007, it was again a tale of two co...

"Take That Nigger Off The TV, We Wanna Watch Football!": Idiots Respond To NBC Pre-Empting <em>Sunday Night Football</em>
NBC pre-empted the first quarter of tonight’s 49ers-Patriots game to show President Obama’s speech at the Newtown memorial for victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. As you might expect, many football fans didn’t take kindly to this. (So, too, some Bob’s Burgers fans.) Here are those idiots, led by so...
Cincinnati And UConn Said To Ponder Starting Yet Another Geographically Absurd Conference
With the Big East in full meltdown mode, two of the traditional basketball powers are considering a move to the ACC—or, barring that, UConn and Cincinnati will take their ball and go start their own conference, according to The Sporting News. The only flaw in this plan is that the new conference wou...
Former ESPN Outdoors Producer: "Most Of The People I've Met From The NRA Don't Believe The Bullshit They're Selling"
For several years I worked for the now defunct ESPNOutdoors.com and on a number of ESPN Outdoors TV shows. A couple of times a year the website would cover these massive annual trade shows that affected hunting, and we'd descend on giant convention center halls in Orlando and Las Vegas that were pac...

Kevin Durant Memorialized Sandy Hook Last Night With A Message On His Sneakers
It must be hard for professional athletes to figure out to respond to national tragedies like the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary yesterday. In times of national mourning, sports can seem pretty starkly trivial, and the juxtaposition between the day's news and the night's sporting events has a way...
Another Proud Moment For Rutgers Men's Basketball: Head Coach Mike Rice Suspended After Flinging Basketballs At Players' Heads
It's been more than two decades since the Rutgers men's basketball team made the NCAA tournament, and it seems like every coach that has been paraded through Piscataway, N.J. during that time has had a complete and total meltdown. Today's edition? Coach Mike Rice decided to whip some basketballs at ...
