Three Heads And Two Teams Combine For One Very Dumb Goal
This is the kind of goal that makes me want to laugh and puke at the same time. On the one hand, it’s objectively hilarious when world-class athletes are reduced to helpless props in a pinball blooper. On the other, if Marcos Alonso or Antonio Rüdiger were positioned just inches differently, they co...
NFL Gets Sassy While Clearing Panthers Of Any Concussion Protocol Violations
When we last saw Cam Newton, he was once again at the center of an NFL concussion protocol controversy. After taking a blow to his head during his team’s playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints, Newton was slow to get up and eventually went to the ground as he tried to return to the sidelines. From a...
Kevin Durant Says He Got Ejected Because Ref Had An "Attitude" And Was "In His Feelings"
The NBA continues to be cranky as hell. Last night Kevin Durant got ejected again, for the fourth time this season, late in the Warriors’ 123-112 win over the Knicks. Then in his post-match presser, he called out referee James Williams by name for targeting him....
Please Don't Take Boogie And AD Away From Me
DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis are now 63 games into their career together, and the Pelicans are 34-29 over that span. That’s not any sort of record to be ashamed of, but it’s also just a little too heavy in the loss column to provide any assurance that Boogie and AD’s partnership will survive i...
The NBA Is Cranky As Hell
We’re smack dab in the middle of post-holidays winter, when all there is to do is be pissed off about the fact that there’s nothing to look forward to in the immediate future other than some dark, cold days. This wears on everybody, but it seems to be wearing on NBA players in particular....

This Other Angle Of The Eagles Fan Running Into A Pillar Really Delivers [Update]
Anyone monitoring Philadelphia’s reaction to the Super Bowl-bound Eagles has presumably seen the video of the guy in the Brian Dawkins jersey running into a pillar. That instant classic of the Idiot Gets Hurt genre was shot from inside the subway train, and is now joined by a companion piece—an al...

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen Scored A Goal Off His Crotch

Dolphin Owned To Death By Octopus
Your continued existence in this world is in many ways determined by how fortunately things break for you in the aftermath of a mistake. Some people step into traffic while looking at their phone and escape with nothing more than the particular fright that results from an unseen car coming to a scre...
Anthony Davis Is On An Unholy Tear Right Now
It’s weirdly easy to forget about Anthony Davis. The Pelicans big man has a fraction of the personality that DeMarcus Cousins does, he’s played in just four playoff games in his five-year career (all of them losses to the Warriors), and he’s been very good for long enough that the shine of an ascend...
The FAU Offensive Coordinator Job Explains <em></em>College Football's Nepotism Problem
Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin announced a surprising hire this morning: The Owls will be hiring 24-year-old Charlie Weis Jr. to serve as the team’s offensive coordinator.

The San Francisco Giants Aren't Fixed, But They're Appealing
The 2018 San Francisco Giants would have been a great team in 2013. But it isn’t 2013, and the Giants, who this offseason have traded for Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria, are in odd shape as they try to escape a payroll, personnel, and farm system crisis....
The Rockets Hilariously Tried To Storm The Clippers' Locker Room
Beef! We’ve got beef! Major NBA beef. Sound the beef siren!...
Mike D'Antoni To Blake Griffin: "Fuck You"
Things got chippy at the end of the Clippers’ win over the Rockets on Monday, and at the center of it all was Blake Griffin. The L.A. big man eventually got ejected for a little tie-up with Trevor Ariza, but before that, he got some hate from Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni....
Carmelo Anthony After Russell Westbrook's Ejection: "I'm Done With The Refs"
Russell Westbrook got ejected from Monday’s Kings-Thunder game with just one very sudden traveling call. With under three minutes to go in the game, Westbrook drove and thought he got fouled. He went down holding his face, but only drew the traveling violation from referee Matt Boland. When Westbroo...
French Soccer Ref Loses His Mind After Getting Accidentally Tripped By Player
Because soccer referees need to be in the thick of the action, every now and then they will be inadvertently tripped up or bowled over by a player. A normal reaction to this is for the ref to clamber back to his feet with a smirk, and maybe laugh about the accident with the sheepish player once play...
Sleepy DeMarcus Cousins Pays Dearly For Passing Ball To Wrong Team
In the opening minutes of today’s Knicks-Pelicans tilt DeMarcus Cousins found himself in an awkward spot, loading up a pass to teammate Anthony Davis just as Davis shifted inside, and as defenders Enes Kanter and Kristaps Porzingis closed in to deny the action. Sunday afternoon basketball is sometim...
Atlanta Falcons Somehow Lose To Nick Foles<em></em>
In the month since losing starting quarterback and MVP candidate Carson Wentz, the Philadelphia Eagles have played a skittish backup at quarterback behind a spotty offensive line, at the exact time that their highly ranked defense began collapsing. The franchise hadn’t won a playoff game since 2009,...
Gregg Popovich: LaMarcus Aldridge Asked To Be Traded This Summer, But We're Cool Now
Spurs big man LaMarcus Aldridge is having perhaps the most efficient season of his career while standing in for Kawhi Leonard as San Antonio’s main dude. While the Warriors and Rockets are in an arms race to see who can shoot 100 threes in a game first, the Spurs are sneakily right there in the mix ...
