Here's A Ridiculous Story From Cam Newton's Combine Interviews

While the portrayal definitely comes down on the positive side of one of sports’ more polarizing athletes, it presents plenty of red meat for those who like him and for those who can’t stand him. And that’s kind of the point. This pr...

The Canucks And Panthers Nearly Brawled After Their Game
Vancouver ended Florida’s 12-game winning streak with an OT goal by Daniel Sedin (off a feed from his twin brother Henrik), but the real action came after the final horn. It also featured, from Panthers TV guy Denis Potvin, one of the most inexplicable insults I’ve ever heard....

This guy up top here is Doncaster Rovers midfielder Richard Chaplow. He came on as a substitute in yesterday’s FA Cup loss against Stoke City, then, at some point, took a train somewhere. He was recognized—probably due to that gleaming dome he’s been sporting since a bout of glandular fever as a kid...
DeMar DeRozan Dunked All Over The Sixers Last Night
The Raptors went down Pennsylvania way to take on a summer league team that’s somehow still playing into January. It was the fourth game of a mini road trip, but they took care of the anonymous group of Benjamin Franklin fans. Toronto is, for my money, the best of the morass of teams fighting for th...

How To Win At A Casino
With all due respect to the good people of Thackerville, Okla., I am not currently aware of any defensible reason to rumble down their I-35 off-ramp other than to wander, aimlessly and awestruck, around the world’s largest casino. That is, unless you really like tornadoes or porno stores, the two th...
This Toronto Raptors Executive Had An Extremely Tight Wedding
I’m fully aware of the fact that rich people’s ridiculous weddings get written up in places like Vogue precisely because non-rich people will read sentences like, “Everyone gently retrieved their seat assignments from sphagnum moss falling from the boughs of a weeping cherry tree” and go, “Whaaaaaaa...
