Addison Russell Attempts Brutal Assault On Diamondbacks Mascot
Wow, this is quite rude. Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell attempted to maim poor Diamondbacks mascot D. Baxter the Bobcat last night by flinging his bat into the stands. Thankfully Baxter is quick as a, uhh, bobcat, and managed to get out of the way. His attempt to threaten Russell in return d...
D-Backs Manager Chip Hale Is Mad The Media Was Excited About Opening Day
The Diamondbacks’ season got off to a rough start last night. Newly acquired ace Zack Greinke, who signed for $206 million this offseason and could very well help the D-Backs become a wild card contender, got knocked around by the Colorado Rockies and Arizona lost 10-5. After the game, Diamondbacks ...
15 Years Ago Today, Randy Johnson Exploded A Bird
Just in terms of sheer unlikeliness, Randy Johnson vaporizing a dove with a pitch is one of the most improbable things to have ever happened on a baseball diamond. That fact that it was Johnson, an ornery flamethrower if there ever was one, makes it feel almost inevitable in retrospect. The birds sh...
Where In The World Is Sean Miller? (Not In Pittsburgh, Sorry Guy)
In the world of scoop-driven transaction reporting, it’s OK for a reporter to be wrong. It is not ideal, of course; it’s bad for credibility. But it’s inevitable. Sometimes you’re going to get bad information, or get used by a source with an agenda, and you’re hosed. The best thing to do in that sit...
Arizona's Sean Miller Sweated Through Your TV
I am a sweaty person. Not just a little, not merely a light sheen of perspiration on hot days or after after exercise, but sweaty. Rivulets become torrents become a full-body drenching at the first sniff of 90 degrees or after the mildest of exertions. I am a disgusting human being, more liquid than...

Arizona Coach Sean Miller On Court Storming: Someone's Going To Punch A Fan
No. 9 Arizona fell 75-72 to Colorado last night, the buzzer coming just after Allonzo Trier’s potential tying three clanged harmlessly away, and then, for the 10th time in the Wildcats’ last 11 road losses, the home fans charged the court....

Coyotes Dress Bank Manager As Emergency Goalie
There may not be a more charmingly ad hoc tradition than hockey’s emergency goaltender. If one of a team’s two goalies gets hurt or otherwise incapacitated before a game with not enough time to fly in a backup from the minors, the NHL maintains a list of potential goalies in each city—older guys wit...
Speedo-Clad Michael Phelps Helps Distract Oregon State Free Throw Shooter

Bruce Arians: Carson Palmer "Didn't Lose The Damn Game"
You can’t lose as badly as the Cardinals did without having enough blame to go around. But given his stat line, the visibility of his position, and the questions throughout his career arc that this season was supposed to shake, this will be remembered as Carson Palmer’s personal meltdown....
The Seahawks Warned The Cardinals About Carolina's Turf
The Seahawks could not have possibly had a worse start to their divisional-round loss to the Panthers last week, throwing two picks and allowing two defensive touchdowns and falling behind 21-0 in the first 15 minutes. And, at least to some extent, Pete Carroll blamed the grass....
NHL Reverses Course, Lets John Scott Into The All-Star Game
Although the Coyotes traded All-Star John Scott on Friday to the Canadiens, who promptly sent him to the AHL, the enforcer will still play in the All-Star Weekend’s 3-on-3 tournament. The NHL announced today that Scott would remain as the captain of the Pacific Division for the season break in Nashv...
LOL Just Kidding The Cardinals Won Anyway
Remember those Aaron Rodgers heroics from a few minutes ago, how he threw for a first down on fourth-and-20 and then found the end zone on the final play of regulation to force overtime? Yeah, he never touched the football again as Carson Palmer found Larry Fitzgerald a few times—the last on a goal-...
John Scott Gets Screwed Out Of His All-Star Spot
Today’s three-way trade involving the Coyotes, Predators, and Canadiens will have little impact on the teams’ rosters, but it will affect the NHL’s All-Star Weekend on Jan. 30-31. Former Coyote John Scott, who was voted in as the Pacific Division’s captain, most likely won’t be in Nashville for the ...

John Scott, Who's Been Waived Three Times This Year, Will Start The NHL All-Star Game
A few weeks ago, we told you about John Scott’s unlikely lead in NHL all-star fan voting. Despite being a fairly anonymous dude, and getting cut by the Coyotes a few times this year, Scott held onto his lead and has officially been voted into the game, and will start as one of the four captains, alo...
