The Mariners Probably Just Pulled Off The Best Signing Of The Offseason
Stand down, Edwin-Jackson-to-the-Nats. Relax, Broxton-to-the-Royals and Madson-to-the-Reds. We have a new steal in an offseason filled with ridiculous splurges (C.J.-Wilson-to-the-Angels, Pujols-to-the-Angels, Reyes-to-the-Marlins, Heath-Bell-to-the-Marlins) and not too many bargains. The Seattle Ma...

Mike Brown Earned His Ejection With This On-Court Meltdown
The rage came forth from Lakers coach Mike Brown in the final period of L.A.'s 96-87 loss to the Jazz tonight in Salt Lake City. It's unclear whether Brown made contact with the referee—which would earn him at least a one-game suspension—but his outburst earned him a double-technical, immediate e...

The L.A. Kings' Explanation For Last Night's Clock Discrepancy Is Bullshit. Here's Why.
The Los Angeles Kings' explanation (via GM Dean Lombardi) for last night's clock disaster that gave them a win over Columbus is ludicrous for two reasons. The first, and again quoting Lombardi in the Los Angeles Times:...

Science! Explains Why The Clock Stopped In The Kings Game
Everyone agrees that the Staples Center clock stopped in the dwindling seconds, giving the Kings just enough time to score the game-winner over the poor Blue Jackets, who never win anything. What's still a matter of debate is whether the clock was right to do so, possibly adjusting itself to make up...

Angels GM Now Mailing Handwritten Replies To Fans Who Send Him Trade Ideas
Jerry Dipoto is the new Angels general manager, and once he brought in Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, he probably could have taken the rest of the winter off. But no! He's sending lovely thank-you notes to folks who write in with their own GMing advice....

In Los Angeles, Two Seconds Last Forever
At the very end of regulation, with the Kings and Blue Jackets tied, L.A.'s Drew Doughty scored a gamewinner. It went to a video review, and Doughty was credited with a goal with 0.4 seconds remaining. Then they showed the replay, and all hell and confusion broke lose....

Kevin Durant Was Not Impressed By Blake Griffin's Dunk, Which He Says Was Also Not A Dunk
We thought we settled this Tuesday morning, but KD's back today to rag on Blake's bonkers dunk over Kendrick Perkins:...

Blake Griffin Just Dunked On The Entire Perkins Family Tree
It's only halfway through the abbreviated NBA season, so I'm hesitant to dub anything dunk of the year. But here it is, dunk of the year—and of course it's from Blake Griffin. Kendrick Perkins's family requests no flowers be sent. [NBA TV]...

Langely McNeal is a US skier competing in this year's X-Games. Earlier today, she posted a status update on her facebook page indicating that she had been disqualified from the Women's Skier X final as a result of the French team protesting a Sarah Burke band around her thigh and a hair tie around ...

Metta World Peace Is Bored
The former Ron Artest's game is slipping. His numbers are down, and even his trademark defense isn't what it once was. Is it because he's 32 now? It is because he arrived for training camp out of shape after spending the offseason changing his name, doing stand-up, and texting his dong? Nope. World...

Pau Gasol Passes Like Ricky Rubio
There must be something in the water, since all shaggy-haired Spaniards seem to have a preternatural ability to find an open teammate without having to actually see them. A cutting Gasol drew both his man and Andrew Bynum's, and a nifty little over-the-shoulder dump to Bynum was pretty and pretty ...

Tebow! Tebow! Tebow! (This Is A Dodgers Story)
Here is a story about Clayton Kershaw. He is a good pitcher, and he likes Jesus, but beyond that he doesn't have much in common with Tim Tebow. In fact, he's nothing like Tim Tebow. They play different sports and haven't met. Still: Tebow in the headline! Tebow everywhere. What do you have to say ab...
