Shohei Ohtani Is Very Clearly Not From This Planet
I feel like if you’re even remotely a sports fan, you must tune in to watch Shohei Ohtani. What he is doing so far this season is genuinely insane. Listen to me! He leads the Angels in home runs, batting average, and OPS, and is second in runs batted in, and today he took a perfect game into the sev...
Shohei Ohtani's Third Dinger Was A Mighty Bomb
The Angels opened a home series against the Athletics Friday night, in a game in which 14 total pitchers were used, and neither starter made it past the fourth inning. Wait, hang on, 15 total pitchers were used—Shohei Ohtani, a pitcher, started at designated hitter for the Angels, and smoked this he...
Why The Rams Are Going For It Right Now
The Los Angeles Rams have been rather aggressive this offseason.

Big Boban Takes Little Ball
Hungrily, steadily, undeterred by failure, the Boban stalks its prey—then strikes, immobilizing it in an instant. This happened on Tuesday night and I still haven’t been able to get it out of my head....
Kyle Kuzma Climbed The Rookie Wall
In an NBA season defined by incredibly tight playoff seeding races and an apocalyptic tanking campaign featuring a solid third of the league, only three teams were caught in the middle.

The Rams Get Richer, Trade For Brandin Cooks

Hockey Skate Mangles Ear
Another hockey guy upended, another close call for a fellow player’s major arteries. Kings defenseman Derek Forbort had his ear butterflied in Monday’s 4-3 win after Wild forward Zach Parise’s skate caught him on the side of the head. Forbort’s lucky it wasn’t his neck....

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner will miss opening day, and likely at least the first month of the season, after suffering a broken wrist when being hit by a pitch in Monday night’s spring training game against the A’s....
The Rockets Are Driving Opposing Coaches Insane
Thursday night, after his Clippers lost to the Rockets in Houston, Doc Rivers described the officiating as “a complete joke” and all but chalked up the five-point loss to a 23-8 free throw disparity between the two teams. For this act of public criticism, Rivers was fined $15,000 by the league....
It's Actually Good That Isaiah Thomas And Julius Randle Shouted At Each Other And Had To Be Pulled Apart
I guess I don’t see any particular reason to disbelieve them, but the following postgame quotes, about the shouting match Los Angeles Lakers teammates Isaiah Thomas and Julius Randle had on the sideline during last night’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, are still cracking me up....
The Lakers And Nuggets Really Seem To Dislike Each Other
Last night’s game between the Nuggets and Lakers came with no shortage of subplots, thanks in large part to Nuggets guard Jamal Murray’s history of trolling and shit-talking in previous matchups. In December, he riled up Lonzo Ball and his teammates by rudely dribbling around Ball as the clock ran o...
Julius Randle Is A Damn Bully
Paul Millsap stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 246 pounds. He looks like he could easily lift me off the ground while palming my skull. He’s strong, is what I’m saying. But he doesn’t look so strong here, does he?...
Lonzo Ball And The Lakers Are Beefing With Jamal Murray
Back in December, at the end of a Nuggets home win over the Lakers, Jamal Murray engaged in some extremely rude dribbling, to the great irritation of several Lakers players:...
Clippers Quickly Realize That Maybe Ayn Rand Isn't The Best Example To Use In Their Dating App Partnership
At some point today, the question of how to celebrate International Women’s Day on social media was considered by the Clippers. The answer, somehow, was to play up the team’s new partnership with a dating app and use the trio of Ayn Rand, Maya Angelou, and Anne Frank to do so....
