Falcons Lose After Blowing Lead On Point-After "Pick-Two"
After trailing the Chiefs for most of the second half, the Falcons finally took a 28-27 lead on a touchdown with less than five minutes left in the game. Atlanta chose to go for a bigger cushion by trying a two-point conversion. That turned out to be disastrous, as Kansas City’s Eric Berry interce...
Antonio Brown: "It's My New Name, Ronald... It's Top Secret. From Now On, Address Me As Ronald."
Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers leads the NFL in receptions and now, apparently, in identity crises. Some questions and non-answers from a conversation with reporters yesterday, as captured by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:...
Here Are The World's Most Effective Charities
The holidays are here, which means it’s time for you to make your annual charitable donations in a desperate attempt to cleanse the stains your dark soul has accumulated this year. Below is a thoroughly vetted list of the most effective life-saving charities in the world. ...
This Was A Hell Of A Sequence From Kevin Durant
The Rockets are up at halftime against the Warriors thanks to some strong shooting and rebounding, but Kevin Durant has been fantastic for Golden State. This sequence here was particularly great. First, he easily swatted Clint Capela, a center, then ran down the floor and made this silly pass to Dra...
Sidney Crosby Turned Antti Niemi Into A Backboard
You can’t really dunk on your opponents in hockey, but Sidney Crosby got about as close as you can when he pinged a shot off of Antti Niemi’s shoulder from a tight angle, waited for it to rebound back to him, picked it out of the air, and bonked the puck in off of Niemi’s back....
Maybe Dwight Howard Shouldn't Be Allowed To Run The Fast Break
Dwight Howard had a decent game in a loss to the Suns last night, finishing with 17 points and 14 rebounds in 33 minutes. He also finished with one assist, but as you can see int he clip below, he was very close to finishing with two:...
Karl-Anthony Towns Wrecked The Knicks, But It Wasn't Enough
The Minnesota Timberwolves are not a good basketball team. They are exciting, and all of their best players are liable to dunk on your head at any time, but they still look and feel more like a middling squad than a team sporting some of the best young talent the NBA has seen in a while. Karl-Anthon...
Richard Sherman Drops Delayed Burn On Cam Newton
Richard Sherman is not one to easily suffer slights. Last year after the Panthers beat the Seahawks in the playoffs, Cam Newton was running a circuit around the Panthers’ stadium for his customary parade of high-fives, when he grabbed a “12th man” flag, crumpled it up, and tossed it....
Hot Fucking Stove: Don't Touch The Stove It's Extremely Hot
Good news, friends: The Thanksgiving holiday brought us not just a bounty of meats, side dishes, and familial bonding, but also mildly interesting baseball transactions that could have anywhere from no to some impact on the upcoming season of “America’s pastime.”...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Went Off And Destroyed The Cavaliers
For about a quarter, tonight’s Cavs-Bucks game went about how you’d expect. LeBron James and his pals were tossing audacious passes to each other, slamming the everloving Christ out of the basketball, and helping the Cavs to an easy ten-point lead in the first ten minutes of the game. Instead of rol...
NFL Suspends Bills' Seantrel Henderson, Who Has Used Weed To Treat Crohn's Disease, 10 Games
The NFL has suspended Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson 10 games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Henderson, who found out that he had Crohn’s disease in the middle of last season and has played in one preseason game and one regular-season game since, was also susp...
The Giants' Defense Has Made A Historic Turnaround
OK, so they just beat the Browns, and everyone has beaten the Browns. OK, their offense and their special teams remain frustratingly inconsistent. And, OK, this is probably not a defense that’s going to make anyone forget what they did in Super Bowls 42 and 46. But the Giants have won six in a row a...
Anthony Davis Explains The Difference Between His Team And Good Teams
The New Orleans Pelicans started the season 0-8 despite having one of the very best basketball players in the world, Anthony Davis, on the roster. They improved a bit with the return of point guard Jrue Holiday, but they lost to a dreadful Mavericks team on Sunday and are now 6-12 on the season. Dav...
Bryant Basketball Player Dribbles Out The Clock After Forgetting His Team Is Losing
Somewhere in this chaotic scramble to end the Brown-Bryant game tonight, Bryant freshman Ikenna Ndugba lost his handle on the score of the game. With 12 seconds left, Nisre Zouzoua nailed a fadeaway three to give Bryant a one-point lead. Brown drove down the floor with urgency and Tavon Blackmon sli...
Aaron Rodgers Threw One Of The Prettiest Passes You'll See All Season
Aaron Rodgers is negating with the Eagles’ fearsome pass rush tonight by getting the football out very quickly and not allowing them the time that they would normally be using to put the Packers QB on his ass. Green Bay moved the ball efficiently throughout the first half and they converted their fi...
Josh Norman Clarifies Comments About Dez Bryant, Is A Weenie<em></em>
The spiciest moment from this year’s serving of Thanksgiving NFL games was the eruption of a full-blown beef between Josh Norman and Dez Bryant. The two spent most of the game yipping at each other before getting into an altogether muted scuffle immediately after the game ended. ...
Florida Panthers Fire Coach Gerard Gallant, Make Him Catch A Taxi
Twenty-two games into a disappointing season, the Florida Panthers fired head coach Gerard Gallant last night, and while the decision is questionable enough, the way it went down is awkward as hell. For one, the team didn’t officially announce the move until about an hour ago, leaving it to media to...
Half The Chiefs Had No Idea They Won
I very much enjoy this photo, taken just as Cairo Santos banked in the 34-yard, game-winning field goal off the left upright, because no one’s really sure if it was good or not. The reactions run the gamut, from No. 76's Laurent Duvernay-Tardif’s two-fingered exultation, to Santos’s uncertainty, to ...
KC Wins In Overtime On Bank-Shot Field Goal As Time Expires
A Kansas City-Denver game that looked to be another primetime stinker proved a thriller in the end as the Chiefs won on Cairo Santos’s field goal that ricocheted off one upright and in as overtime expired....
Janoris Jenkins To Terrelle Pryor: "U Really Sucks"
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor felt a little miffed after he saw (some of) New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins’s comments on him this week, which added a little animosity to today’s game. The Giants won 27-13, dropping the Browns to 0-12, and Jenkins followed up with a little m...
