Gilbert Arenas Smashes His Own Car With A Cinder Block
This is a strange one, though seeing as it involves Gilbert Arenas that probably should have been assumed. Earlier today, Arenas posted a video to his Instagram account. The video shows a hand holding a phone, and on that phone a video is playing that shows Arenas smashing a cinder block into a luxu...

RIP To Matthew Dellavedova And His Terrible, Beautiful Lob Passes
For a minute there, it looked like Matthew Dellavedova, little try-hard that he is, was going to become a Finals hero for the Cleveland Cavaliers. That didn’t really work out, but that’s not to say that Delly didn’t provide us with a great deal of entertainment, because oh man did this guy do some h...
The Golden State Warriors Declare Their Love For The CoCo One Last Time
Earlier this season, the Golden State Warriors started one of the best post-victory rituals in the NBA, one that consisted of the team singing and dancing along to O.T. Genasis’s “CoCo” on the team plane. Unfortunately, because “CoCo” is about drugs, they got in a bit of trouble and had to resort to...
Draymond Green Found His Cockiness And Saved The Warriors
Draymond Green certainly didn’t deserve to win the Finals MVP award (neither did Andre Iguodala, for that matter), but it’s hard to imagine the Warriors putting this series away without his resurgence, which began in Game 4 and ended with last night’s championship-clinching triple-double....
The Golden State Warriors Are Your 2015 NBA Champions
This is the most sportswritery thing I’ll ever write, but all season long the Golden State Warriors won as a team. Sure, Stephen Curry was the MVP of the league, but he was far from a one man band. Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Bogut all won league-wide awards. After two stagnant season,...

Deadcast: Did La’el Collins Stiff A Hooker Who Ate His Ass Out?
It’s the question of our time, really: Did Dallas Cowboys rookie free agent lineman La’el Collins help himself to a free tossed salad? A self-proclaimed “orally gifted” escort who goes by the handle of THROATZILLA certainly thinks so, and she publicly unloaded both barrels on Collins earlier this mo...
Ian Desmond Solves The Yips, Personifies Irony, Is Screwed
After starting the season with eight errors in the Nationals’ first 15 games, Ian Desmond’s adventurous play at shortstop has mostly leveled off, to the enormous relief of his teammates and the mild disappointment of fans of slapstick comedy. Two months later he’s sitting on 14 errors, all but endin...
How To Hate Steph Curry
I went to my kid’s kindergarten class a week ago to be the “Mystery Person” for the day. This is a thing where, once a week, one of the parents shows up unannounced and talks to the class about what they do for a living. So I go in and explain my job to the class (in the vaguest possible terms, sinc...
Eat Shit, Cardinals
By now, you know that the St. Louis Cardinals—the sports equivalent of the Duggar clan—are currently under investigation by the FBI for hacking into a Houston Astros database. (The FBI! That means they’re fucked.) And not only did they allegedly hack into another team’s system, but they allegedly di...
University Of Texas Investigating Allegations Of Academic Fraud
The University of Texas at Austin has hired an independent investigator following allegations of academic fraud within the men’s basketball program. The allegations were brought to light in an article published in the Chronicle of Higher Education last Wednesday. ...
What The Cardinals Learned From Hacking The Astros
You may be wondering exactly what information the St. Louis Cardinals got their hands on when they hacked into the Houston Astros’ proprietary database. Well, thanks to whoever publicly leaked the hacked documents last summer, we can provide at least a partial answer to that question....
Everyone Involved In The Cardinals Hacking Scandal Seems To Be An Idiot
What makes the St. Louis Cardinals hacking scandal really great, aside from the fact that it involves the St. Louis Cardinals, is that it could not have happened if everyone involved hadn’t acted as stupidly as possible....
Life After The NBA
Pat Jordan wrote a small piece on former NBA ref Tim Donaghy five years ago for the Times. Now, he’s got a bigger feature on Donaghy for New York Magazine:...
Was Yoenis Cespedes Taking A Dump Or What?
A weird thing happened in the top of the third inning of last night’s game between the Reds and Tigers. Right as Anibal Sanchez was about to deliver the first pitch of the inning, everyone realized that the Tigers had no left fielder. Where was Yoenis Cespedes?...

Screw It, Vote Every Kansas City Royal Into The All-Star Game
With about a month until the MLB All-Star Game, the American League roster shows a pattern: every player with the most votes at their position plays for the Royals. Even the bad ones....
Teen Goalkeeper Fails To Play To The Damn Whistle, Blows Penalty Save
Christ, kid. Didn’t they teach you nothin’? You have to keep the ball out of the net, not just stop the penalty taker from kicking it in himself. Who cares if this is a Scottish U-14 match, if you don’t ridicule him for his errors, he’ll never learn....
The Rays Hope To Save Their Pitchers With New High-Tech Cameras
Yahoo’s Jeff Passan is reporting that the Tampa Bay Rays, a team that has always been at the forefront of baseball’s analytical revolution, have installed a new high-tech camera system at their home ballpark that they hope will help them save their pitchers from injury....
