OBJ And The Panthers Cornerbacks Are Staging A Boxing Match In The Middle Of A Football Game
Odell Beckham Jr.’s matchup today with Josh Norman, perhaps the best corner in the game this year, is one of the coolest one-on-one matchups we’ve seen all year. On the Giants’ fourth play from scrimmage, Beckham burned Norman, and then dropped a perfectly good touchdown. A few plays later in the qu...

The Pelicans Are A Goddamn Mess
Remember when Anthony Davis was a sexy MVP pick, everyone was praising the Alvin Gentry hire, and the Pelicans looked like a lock to make the playoffs and maybe even do something once they got there?

Rajon Rondo's Statement Looks A Lot Like Kobe Bryant's Statement
The NBA suspended Sacramento Kings guard Rajon Rondo for one game without pay after he called referee Bill Kennedy a “faggot” in a Dec. 3 game. (Kennedy publicly came out after the incident.)

The Josh Norman-Rodney Harrison Beef Is So Excellent Right Now
Josh Norman just might be the best corner in football right now, and is certainly the most visible player on a fantastic defense that hasn’t let the Panthers lose a game yet.

Gregg Popovich is the best current coach in the NBA. He’s been with the Spurs for 19 seasons; in that span, he’s won five championships. With all his success, it’s jarring to hear that he despises the shot that so many great teams take full advantage of these days: the three-pointer....
