Jim Boeheim Called Andy Katz An Idiot And A Disloyal Person
Jim Boeheim has the unique ability to sound both bored and like a complete dickhead all at the same time. And he did it tonight all over Andy Katz's face. Uconn beat Boeheim's squad 66-58 and after the game Boeheim said in his press conference to Katz: "I'll answer anybody's question but yours, bec...
Someone Impaled The Duke Mascot's Head On A Stake Above UNC's Campus Store

Nerlens Noel's Injury Is Just The Latest Reminder Of How Stupid The One-And-Done Rule Is

The Redskins Are Just Going To Hide Behind Every Single School That Uses The Name Redskins
On Monday, the Redskins launched a campaign to defend their use of a racist slur as a team name. It was weak, and centered on the nebulous concept of "pride" felt by a particular Ohio high school that also uses the name Redskins. Drew pointed out that it's bullshit, and this is all about Dan Snyder ...
Rob Gronkowski Dons A "Sorry For Partying" Tank Top, Makes A Fan Kiss His Stuffed Alligator

Will Ferrell Was An Usher At Last Night's Lakers Game, Wore A "Ted Vagina" Name Tag
Yep, that's Will Ferrell, decked out in the official uniform of a Staples Center usher, scanning the crowd and keeping the peace during last night's Suns-Lakers game. As is usually the case, we have no idea why Will Ferrell was doing this, or why he was wearing a name tag that read, "Ted Vagina." N...
Kentucky Star Nerlens Noel Leaves Game Against Florida After Suffering Knee Injury That Left Him Screaming In Pain [UPDATE]
This is tough to watch (and to listen to, since it might be the sound of a promising NBA career being tossed into the spinning wheel of injury fate).

Watch This Gigantic High School Running Back Score Fat Guy Touchdowns
One of the sadder developments in the NFL has been the extinction of the fat running back. Gone are the days when Jerome Bettis, T.J. Duckett, Ron Dayne, Najeh Davenport, and LenDale White made a living by hefting their considerable weight up and down the field....
Player From 1979 Final Four Stabbed To Death By Wife Who Says She Caught Him Looking At Porn
Matt White, the starting center on Penn's 1979 Final Four team, was found stabbed to death in his suburban Philly home yesterday. He was 53. Weirder still is that White's wife, Maria Rey Garcia-Pellon, has been charged with killing him by stabbing him in the neck while he slept, and she allegedly to...
Alabama Players Arrested After They Allegedly Concussed Two Guys And Robbed Them
It's hard not to respect Nick Saban. Not because he's a good coach or anything, but because he constantly reminds us of college football's rich history. Want physics-defying running backs who wow us for two years before flopping in the pros? He's got 'em. Want linebackers simply bigger and stronger ...
Jay Williams's Allegations Of Pot-Smoking On The 2002-03 Bulls Have Really Upset Donyell Marshall
It's altogether unlike a Duke man to casually rat out his peers in the name of good living. But Jay Williams did it anyway, in Saturday's New York Times. Recall the motivation for yesterday's ranked, underexplained list of Bulls most likely to toke up before games:...

Then, we found this GIF-like thing (it's called a vine) of Sad Derrick Rose executing a spin move and a layup with all the explosiveness of a dad ge...
This Full-Court, Bouncing Shot From A High School Basketball Game Is Bananas
Lewis Palmer high school junior Anna Olson heaved this shot almost the entire length of the court in the final moments of the third quarter (though enough time remained to take the ball up court) against Cheyenne Mountain high school in Colorado. Or, she at least tried to heave it the entire lengt...

Mike Bibby Got Kicked Out Of His Son's Basketball Game
Mike Bibby no longer has a home in the NBA, which means that he has plenty of time to attend his son’s high school basketball games. Last Friday, Bibby was kicked out of one of his son’s games for arguing with the referees, and was escorted out of the gym by a police officer. Thanks to Arizona’s AB...
