Dominique Wilkins Tells A Solid Larry Bird Trash-Talk Story
It's not news that Larry Bird was an arrogant jerk in his NBA days. He got away with most of his shit-talk because when he said he was about to shoot a three in your eye, he actually did that. He and Dominique Wilkins famously went at each other in Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Semifinals, b...

Kevin Durant To Chris Paul After Jumper: "You're Down 20 Now, Homie"

West Brom Want To Sell Their Best Player, But Not Before They Smear Him
West Brom are on the higher end of the Premier League's lower class, where good seasons involve winning relegation battles with a few weeks to spare and bad ones involve fingernails gnawed down to the nub. As such, they have little to offer players with loftier ambitions and the talent to get them t...
Watch A Giant High School Football Player Dominate His Tiny Opponents
This is a highlight reel for Elijah Grady, a 6-foot-5, 295 lbs. senior who plays nine-man football for New Town High in New Town, N.D. Grady is technically an offensive tackle, but as you can see in this reel from Hudl.com, he does pretty much everything. Which is to say, if you like fat guy touchd...
The NBA Pulled Some Silly Shit With Its Player Of The Month Award
Ordinarily, the NBA's Player of the Month awards aren't worth talking or writing about, even among people who talk and write about NBA stuff. Oh no—Player X didn't win Western Conference Player of the Month for November, even though his PER was a smidge higher than some other dude's! Winning one p...

Don't Stand In The Way When Le'Bryan Nash Is Rumbling Down The Lane
Poster dunks are great, but inevitably that guy comes along and says, "we should cheer the guy that was willing to contest the dunk, not laugh at him." That guy is mostly just a smarmy highlight truther, but he does spout a kernel of truth. ...

Liverpool Are Back

Stop Trying To Convince Yourselves Seattle's Pass Call Wasn't Stupid
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks made a grievously bad playcall, and Malcolm Butler won the Super Bowl for the Patriots, and millions of football-watching Americans reeled in reflexive disbelief at the sheer boneheadedness on display....
Seahawks Fan Probably Still Catatonic
Earlier, I wrote that if Russell Wilson can get over one of the most heartbreaking losses in Super Bowl history, Seahawks fans probably can too. That does not apply to this girl. She may never recover....
Aaron Hernandez Comforted Odin Lloyd's Girlfriend After Shooting

Listen To Pete Carroll And Tom Brady React To Game-Ending Interception
Inside the NFL aired last night, and among those mic'd up were Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and Patriots QB Tom Brady. And let's just cut to the part we all came for: the noises each made when Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson to steal the championship for New England....
Russell Wilson Thought He Had It
You look at it again and again, on video taken from the field, in a still image from above, and you still can't quite grasp how it played out the way it did. Ricardo Lockette seemed wide open.
