The Clippers, Who Appear To Be Legit, Owned The Cavaliers
How many legitimate contenders are there to win the NBA title? Before the season, the almost universally agreed upon answer was two. The Warriors breezed through everyone in the Western Conference last season except the Thunder, whose best player they lured away this summer. The Cavaliers play in th...
Jeff Fisher Is Ready To Face Patriots Running Backs "Brandon" And "Danny"
Okay, Jeff Fisher has to be messing with everyone. How could a man work in the league for this long if he were actually this dumb and uninformed? NFL coaches are stupid in many ways, but they’re at least obsessive about their jobs. Today, the Rams head coach appeared to be using years-old intel to p...
Old And Carefree Paul Pierce Blows Dunk, Receives CPR From Chris Paul
The Clippers started off the season 14-2, partly due to their decrepit bench coming to life, but they’re settling back into normalcy with a three-game skid. In last night’s double-OT game against the Nets, they were thoroughly owned by Sean Kilpatrick, who notched 38 points, 14 rebounds, and snuck r...
Doc Rivers Was <i>Pissed</i>
The Clippers lost their third straight, falling 127-122 in two overtimes in Brooklyn, and they had to play the second overtime without coach Doc Rivers, who got an early ticket to the locker room and had to be restrained by his players and assistants after picking up two quick techs....
Eric Dickerson To Resume Attending Rams Games Next Season
Jeff Fisher—coach of the 4-7 Rams, losers of six of seven and owners of the least productive offense in football—is currently embroiled in a feud with Eric Dickerson, who starred for the Rams the last time they were (good) in Los Angeles. The beef stems from Fisher reportedly banning Dickerson from ...
Rams Legend Eric Dickerson Says Team Banned Him From Sidelines Over Criticism
Eric Dickerson is one of the most iconic players in Los Angeles Rams franchise history. He set the single-season record for rushing yards (which still stands) in 1984 and led the NFL in rushing three times in his four full seasons with the team. Dickerson advocated for the Rams to move back to Calif...
What If Jeff Fisher Is Just An Expert Troll?
The thought of Jeff Fisher evokes the phrase “experienced mediocrity.” He shuffles along with the Rams, underachieving here and there, while carrying a lengthy, but not necessarily good, résumé as a shield to protect his job. Based on what Fisher did Sunday, though, I’m starting to wonder whether he...
The Saints Punked Gregg Williams
Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton have a history. In January of 2012, Williams left the team for a job with the St. Louis Rams, received an NFL suspension a couple of months later for his role in the Saints’ Bountygate, missed the 2012 season, and nev...
Nick Young Steals Ball From Teammate, Hits Game-Winning Shot
Last night, Nick Young came full circle....
Julius Randle Did A Very Rude Thing To Nikola Mirotic
Lakers forward Julius Randle is proving to be a lot of fun. He’s already shown that he has the right combination of skill and sass to truly antagonize his opponents, and last night he showed an ability to treat defenders the way a grizzly bear treats a meal....
Jeff Fisher Pleased With Jared Goff's Ability To Perform Basic Functions
No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff finally made his first start at quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams yesterday, and he looked a lot like the player we saw in the preseason, which is to say he was kind of butt....
Los Angeles Rams Cornerback Troy Hill Arrested For DUI
Los Angeles Rams cornerback Troy Hill was arrested on the suspicion of driving under the influence early Saturday morning. ...
That Time Chris Paul Memorized An Eye Chart To Try And Cheat A Vision Test
Chris Paul got eye surgery this summer, a vision-enhancing procedure he needed for some time. It’s hard to believe that one of the best point guards of his generation got by without perfect vision for so long, but he apparently did. Paul’s brother and father got their eyes fixed during Paul’s rookie...
It's Goff Time, Motherfuckers
Strap the fuck in, because the 4-5 Los Angeles Rams finally gave us a reason to watch their quest for 7-9. Finally, after months of dithering, Jeff Fisher has made the move. Case Keenum? Benched! First overall draft pick Jared Goff? Ready as shit....
This Week In Jeff Fisher Refusing To Blame His Quarterback
I’d like to apologize to you on behalf of sports if you watched yesterday’s 9-6 Rams win over the Jets, a game that seemed absolutely destined to be a tie and didn’t end up with even that novelty to recommend it. The Jets are so unwatchable that they flexed Tom Brady out of primetime, but let’s not ...
DeAndre Jordan Doesn't Want You To Have Any Ice Cream
NBA teams run all kinds of fun in-game promotions—free tacos if we score 100 points! Free pizza if we hit 15 threes!—but the best ones are those that allow for meta-contests between the fans and opposing players....
Julius Randle Is Getting In People's Heads
Have you been watching any Lakers games this year? Perhaps you haven’t given them much thought ever since Kobe Bryant finally fucked off and took all the schadenfreude-driven reasons to watch the Lakers with him. Well guess what, the Lakers are kind of fun now!...
The Clippers' Bench Has Somehow Gone From Terrible To Amazing
For five seasons, the Los Angeles Clippers have been the exact same team. In the regular season they win 50-something games, and in the playoffs they flame out before the Conference Finals. But things might just be different this year, because their previously worthless bench unit is dominating game...
Cam Newton Is Still Getting Destroyed, Still Not Getting Flags
Just days after announcing he was worried about his safety, Cam Newton took a pair of vicious hits that went unflagged. Sunday at the Rams, Newton was drilled twice with helmet-to-helmet hits. And according to ESPN’s Ed Werder, the league reviewed the plays and determined no rules were violated....
