Ludacris Was Anthony Davis For Halloween
This is quite a solid showing from Ludacris. That's some convincing fake unibrow hair. Nearly as strong as his showing on Law and Order: SVU, considerably stronger than his showing on 2010's Battle of the Sexes....
De'Anthony Thomas's Punt Return TD Against Colorado Is Obscene
We all speculated what kind of brutality the Oregon Ducks would unleash upon the hapless Colorado Buffaloes, and early in the second quarter we learned the answer would be "obscene."

Is It Poor Form To Literally Rip A Home Run Ball Out Of Another Fan's Hand?
This is from Anthony Rizzo's first of two home runs yesterday (the Pirates' collapse continues apace). I want to draw your attention not to the play, but to the two gentlemen in center, struggling over that all-important baseball. Who has the moral high ground, and the right to the ball?...
The Astros Are Now Hurting Other People With Their Ineptitude
At first, we found the Houston Astros' nightly slapstick routine to be rather endearing, and it was easy to have laugh at their repeated shenanigans. But then, through no fault but their own, the Astros couldn't even run out simple ground balls without one of their own getting hurt....
Saints Players' Bountygate Suspensions Overturned On Appeal
The NFLPA, arguing on behalf of four members of the Saints who were suspended for their roles in New Orleans' bounty scandal, was actually fighting the war on two fronts.

Anthony "Spice" Adams On His First Love, Basketball: "Yeah I Can Fly, For A Little While"
Anthony Adams continues his endearing quest to catch on with a pro football team. Or, at the very least to gain notoriety as a total goofball who makes fun videos.

He's spent the offseason trying to catch on elsewhere, so far unsuccessfully, but he's managed t...
This Photo Of Team USA Sleeping On An Airplane Is The Best Thing Today
Kevin Love surreptitiously snapped this and posted it to Instagram, as Team USA flew from Barcelona to London last night.

Blake Griffin Injures Knee, Anthony Davis Joins Team USA Camp
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Griffin twisted his knee during a scrimmage yesterday at Team USA training camp in Las Vegas. It's bad enough that he's heading back to Los Angeles to get an MRI. In his place, Anthony Davis will report to camp immediately. [Woj]...
Players Sue NFL Over Bounty Punishments
Grab your popcorn. Two days after upholding his own disciplinary rulings against four Saints players for their roles in the bounty scandal, the NFLPA has filed a lawsuit challenging both the decision, and Goodell's authority to make it.

Because This Stuff Never Gets Old, Here's Carmelo Anthony Scaring People By Pretending To Be A Wax Figure
Melo got his sculpture at Madame Tussauds in Times Square yesterday, and in between saying things like "my time is coming," he did that thing where he stands stock-still until unsuspecting ticket-buyers get close enough to spook. There were no reactions as magical as this one, but Anthony's timing...

Tomorrow, Roger Goodell is set to hear the appeal on all four current and former Saints players who have been suspended for their respective roles in the alleged New Orleans bounty program.

The Official Bobcats Draft Lottery Party Was A Sad, Sad Time
The Bobcats opened up Time Warner Cable Arena for fans to come and watch last night's draft lottery. A lovely gesture, one much appreciated by the 40 or so people who showed up.

The New Orleans Hornets Will Pick First In The 2012 NBA Draft
The New Orleans Hornets, currently owned by the NBA and soon to be owned by Saints owner Tom Benson, will select first in the 2012 NBA Draft (most likely choosing Kentucky forward Anthony Davis).

No Matter Who Wins, The NBA Draft Lottery Is Fixed
If Charlotte wins the first overall pick in tonight's draft lottery, it'll be because the association wants Michael Jordan to succeed and the Bobcats to draw in a market the NBA desperately wants to stay in.
