Wrestler Wins Hepatitis C Lawsuit Against Abdullah The Butcher
Abdullah the Butcher, a WWE Hall-of-Famer, continues to wrestle the indy circuit into his 70s. And his gimmick remains the same: He bleeds, and he makes his opponents bleed, and they tend to bleed all over each other. That's a big problem when he's carrying around a blood-borne disease....
The Thunder Will Want To Forget That Overtime Ever Happened
The Thunder lost to the Spurs 112-107 in overtime and, good lord, was overtime a disaster for Oklahoma City. Look at the tidiness of San Antonio's overtime shot chart, compared to OKC's. Russell Westbrook—who had an otherwise great game, with 34 points, eight assists, seven rebound, and six steals—w...
This Is Lance Stephenson Blowing On Kevin Durant And Forcing A Turnover

Spurs And Thunder Head To Overtime Thanks To Blown Goaltending Call
The officials missed a goaltending call with 44 seconds left in the game and the score tied 97-97. Though clearly a goaltending, this was deemed a block and the Spurs were shorted two points.

Unforgivable: <em>A Million Ways To Die In The West</em>, Reviewed.
1. Think about how much of an indictment it is to say, "All the good jokes are in the trailer" about a movie. Trailers, at most, are three minutes long. A Million Ways to Die in the West runs 116 minutes. That is a ton of time to comb through to dig out a Family Guy-esque gag about running into Emme...
Boris Diaw Kicking Ass Is What The Playoffs Are All About
When Gregg Popovich shoved Matt Bonner into his starting lineup last night, it seemed clear he was making a decision in strategy and trying to shift the tenor of the series.

Here's A New Attempt At Gauging The Defensive Impact Of NBA Players
The defensive impact of individual NBA players is hard to measure, as it's so intertwined with their teammates' performance.

The Thunder Are The Thunder Again, And This Is A Brand New Series
I suppose we can go ahead and forget about the first two games of the Western Conference finals, which saw the Serge Ibaka-less Thunder getting swallowed whole by the Spurs while Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did their best to fight off the inevitable.

The Thunder Got Back Serge Ibaka, May Have Gotten Back Into This Series
Now this is more like it. When the Thunder announced they'd lost Serge Ibaka for the remainder of the playoffs to a calf injury, it seemed like we'd all miss out on another classic clash of age vs. youth, savvy vs. athleticism, creative offense vs. "dribble around, then someone shoot!" Ibaka's retur...
Giants CB Prince Amukamara Parties At A Bar Mitzvah

Russell Westbrook To Kevin Durant: "Wake Up"
What we have here (via CJ Fogler) is an excellent opportunity for projection. A fairly innocuous exhortation from one frustrated player to another after a defensive lapse, but in the context of the Spurs' blowout, their 2-0 series lead, and Kevin Durant's and Russell Westbrook's shitty shooting nigh...

"I Never Wore A Watch": Running Lessons From A Record-Breaking Everyman
Mo Farah, the British Olympian who won double gold in the 2012 summer games, predicted that the very least he would accomplish in his first go at 26.2 miles, the London Marathon in April, would be to break Steve Jones's 29-year-old U.K. record of 2:07.13. Farah trains with Alberto Salazar and the N...
It's Westbrook And Durant Vs. The World Now
The Spurs, because they are the all-consuming, unrelenting Spurs, did everything they were supposed to in their Game 1 matchup with the Thunder last night. With Serge Ibaka off the floor, they put their heads down and attacked the rim over and over again, scoring 66 points in the paint. They were in...
