Michigan Remembered Its Identity And Smothered Maryland To Death With It
Maryland did an excellent job surprising the crowd at the Crisler Center during its game against Michigan on Saturday.

Trevor Bauer's Idea For Universal Free Agency Isn't That Novel, But It Also Wouldn't Work
Thursday was a good day for loose cannons.

If there’s ever a time to go for a ridiculous dunk in traffic, a 30-point blowout is it.

But last night the Magic’s ...

Steve Kerr Goes Fucking Ballistic At The Climax Of A Warriors Meltdown
In the fourth quarter of Wednesday night’s Warriors-Trail Blazers game, referee Kenny Mauer went to the replay monitor to check a hard foul from Draymond Green on a cutting Zach Collins.

Someone Finally Posterized Jarrett Allen, And It Was Marquese Chriss
Tonight is apparently a good night for bouncy young dudes on horrendous Eastern Conference cellar-dwellers to rise up and violently jam on someone whose season hasn’t already ended. First we had Kevin Knox posterizing the hell out of Ben Simmons, and now we’ve got Marquese Chriss of the Cavaliers th...

MLB Players Keep Calling Out Bullshit Excuses For Players Remaining Unsigned
Yesterday, Astros pitcher Justin Verlander became the latest high-profile MLB player to use social media to push back on the excuses being made to explain away the frigid free-agent market.

Mario Hezonja Interrupts Dreary Tank-Off To Murder Poor Marquese Chriss
Do not watch tonight’s Knicks-Cavaliers game. The Knicks have lost 16 straight and a disgusting 24 of their last 25 games; the Cavs have lost 22 of their last 25 and have the worst net rating in the NBA.
