How The Terrific Documentary <em>Stories We Tell</em> Avoids The Cutesy
Near the beginning of Stories We Tell, director Sarah Polley's documentary about her family, her sister Joanna is asked how she feels about being part of the movie. Perfectly candid, she responds, "I guess I have this sorta instinctive reaction of, like, 'Who fucking cares about our family?'"...
Joel Hanrahan Fastball Punctures Hole In Sign
Joel Hanrahan is not off to a grand start as the Red Sox closer. But last night, just before he gave up a game-tying homer to the Twins' Brian Dozier, he did manage to destroy an ad behind home plate. That has to count for something, right?...

We're About To Find Out Just How Great Kevin Durant Can Be
If there's one silver lining for basketball fans to extract from Russell Westbrook's season-ending knee injury, it's that we now have the opportunity to see Kevin Durant attempt to become something he's never had to be before: a transcendent superstar trying to singlehandedly pull his team through ...
Watch Kevin Durant's Game-Winning Shot With 11.1 Seconds Left
With 11.1 seconds left, Kevin Durant came up with a long two to put the Oklahoma City Thunder up by one point over the Memphis Grizzlies, because he is Kevin Durant and does those kind of things....
Utah Soccer Referee Punched By Teenage Player, Dies A Week Later
Richard Portillo, a 46-year-old soccer referee from Salt Lake City, was officiating a game on April 27 when a player punched him in the head after Portillo gave him a yellow card. Portillo slipped into a coma and died Saturday night, exactly one week after the incident....
For a competing theory as to why Comcast SportsNews Chicago fired Susannah Collins, we turn to Paul M. Banks: "I don't think Comcast is as much to blame here. I think it's the Blackhawks." [ChicagoNow] And a letter obtained by the Chicago Tribune from the Blackhawks chairman appears to bolster that ...
Hey Look, It's Craig Sager Passed Out In A Milwaukee Hotel
These pictures have been readily available on the internet since April 27, when Twitter user @2SMIDGET2QUIT and her friends stumbled upon a very sleepy Craig Sager in a Milwaukee hotel. We cannot apologize enough for having just now become aware of them. Anyway, enjoy staring Craig Sager's weird eye...
The Bulls Are A Wonderful Wreck Right Now
The Bulls lost 95-92 on their home floor last night, but it was a loss that they should not be ashamed of. In fact, they should be proud of themselves simply for being able to field a competent starting lineup, because this team is an absolute mess....
The Angels Game Was Delayed By Bees
First pitch of the Orioles-Angels game last night was briefly delayed when a swarm of bees descended on a camera behind home plate. This screengrab, from Fox Sports West's Jose Mota, is just messing with perspective—they're not actually 15-foot bees. We think. We pray. Has anyone heard from anybody ...

CSN Chicago announced the departure of reporter Susannah Collins tonight, two days after her on-air slip-up during which she said the Blackhawks had "a tremendous amount of sex."...
Westboro Baptist Got A Warm Welcome When It Protested The OKC Game
The Westboro Baptist Church's protest of last night's Rockets-Thunder game—in response to Jason Collins's coming-out, naturally—was sad and trivial, as the WBC's protests always are. Six picketers showed up. Many more were there to greet them....
The Thunder Successfully Executed The Rare Double Flop
Down the stretch in the Rockets' 107-100 win, Oklahoma City turned to a “Hack-A-Whatever-His-Name-Is" strategy on Omer Asik. Before that though, the plan was apparently to get in the big man's way and go down like bowling pins....
Kevin Durant Finds That Life Without Russell Westbrook Isn't Much Fun
Comebacks from a 3-0 deficit have been done in hockey, and in baseball, but never in the NBA. It makes sense; those first two sports put an inordinate amount of weight on one person, a goaltender or a pitcher. But basketball is ostensibly the same starting five every night—except when it's not. Hous...

Carlos Delfino Dunks All Over Kevin Durant
This has got to be the highlight of Carlos Delfino's career, right? I mean, I just spent two minutes and thirty-five seconds watching a Carlos Delfino mixtape on YouTube, and I didn't see anything that even came close to being as cool as picking Kevin Martin's pocket, streaking down the court, and ...
