Russell Westbrook Is Struggling
The sixth-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder were such a popular pick to upset the third-seeded Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs that it’s hardly fair to even call them the underdogs.

Robert Kraft Is Challenging The Florida Constitution To Keep You From Seeing Video Of His Hand Job
Can billions of dollars buy permission not to abide by a state constitution?

Finland Got Hosed And USA Won Gold

The Raptors Were Never Going To Be Able To Stop D.J. Augustin From Becoming A Postseason Hero

Manny Machado Was Way Less Impressed With His Incredible Throw Than Adam Warren Was
That is Padres pitcher Adam Warren with quite a goofy grin on his face in the bottom of the eighth inning against the Diamondbacks on Friday. Why is he smiling from ear to ear? Because his teammate Manny Machado had just done this:...
