D'Angelo Russell Is College Basketball's Smoothest Assassin

The play above happened early in the first half of last week's game between Ohio State and Iowa.

The Taxpayer Extortion Playbook: How To Ignore The NFL Playoffs Today

Lefty Spinning Bounce Passes Are The Best Bounce Passes

A spinning lefty bounce pass to a guy who didn't even seem to be open? Usually we only see those from Manu Ginobili, but Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell shows he has a little game, too.

Rams Owner Who Just Bought Land In L.A. Is Ignoring St. Louis

It appears that St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke is pulling out all the stops in an effort to terrify the city of St. Louis into believing it is about to lose its NFL team.
