Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen Scored A Goal Off His Crotch
For a hockey player in front of the net, it’s all about getting good position and setting a screen—and also sometimes taking a puck off his dick....
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. Weis Jr., a couple years older than his players, will be the youngest OC in college football. Here’s how Kiffin described th...
The Warriors Were Not Happy To Find They Had No Hot Water In The Locker Room

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 ...
Anthony Duclair And The Blackhawks Need Each Other
The Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday made a moderately sized trade splash, acquiring forward Anthony Duclair from the Arizona Coyotes along with defenseman Adam Clendening for forwards Richard Panik and Laurent Dauphin. It sets up the Blackhawks in a number of ways—they get younger, and they clear ca...
WWE Network Is Better Than Ever, But Does WWE Even Know Why?
A little under four years ago, WWE radically overhauled its business model with the launch of WWE Network, a subscription video streaming platform. The main selling point was that each and every pay-per-view event that the company produced—events which went for $54.95 in HD, and even more for Wrestl...
Report: Panthers Could Put That New Stadium On Some Guy's Farm, Sure, Why Not
Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, who was recently accused of sexual harassment and getting racist with team employees, will soon sell his stake in the team. It’s not clear who will buy the team yet, though the end of the Panthers’ season on Sunday means that the process is now underway. Did...
Does Drake Have Steph Curry And Kevin Durant's Numbers Tattooed On His Arm?
ESPN editor Jovan Buha noticed something intriguing today: Drake has the numbers 30 and 35, the numbers that Steph Curry and Kevin Durant wear, tattooed on his left arm. The initial photo, taken of Drake playing basketball in a LeBron James high school jersey of all things, was not entirely clear, t...
The Falcons' Defense Is Finding Itself At Just The Right Time
For much of this season, it’s been difficult to take the Atlanta Falcons seriously. After a 3-0 start, they lost back-to-back home games to the Bills and Dolphins before getting thumped by the Patriots, by which time the hangover from 28-3 had reached the coffee-and-aspirin phase. Their offense, eve...
Help Us Figure Out What Donald Trump And Arthur Blank Are Talking About
If you happened to choose the ESPN “Cool Room” feed of last night’s national championship game—among your 19 other choices—you may have noticed the hosts dancing around discussing a conversation taking place between Donald Trump and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank. That video wasn’t aired on the ...
Jimmy Butler Did Not Enjoy That Football Game
The Wolves whomped the Cavs last night, 127-99, as LeBron James played one of the spottiest games of his career. But for Jimmy Butler—heard here hollering in the background—the night’s real emotional stakes only came afterwards, as he watched the final moments of the college football championship. K...
