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...
Plane Carrying Brazilian Soccer Team Chapecoense Crashes, Killing 71 Of 77 Passengers (Update)
An airplane on which the Brazilian first-division soccer team Chapecoense was flying crashed near the end of its flight from Bolivia to Colombia last night, reportedly killing nearly everyone onboard in one of the worst air disasters in sports history....
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...
DeMarcus Cousins Wishes Professional Ruin Upon John Wall
The Kings and Wizards are playing tonight in front of about 17 people in Washington D.C. It’s a fairly unimportant meeting between two sad sack teams, but it allowed Kentucky teammates DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall to reminisce about their friendship and look toward the future, a future in which Co...
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. ...
Liberty Hires Ex-Baylor Athletic Director Ian McCaw
Liberty University announced Monday that Baylor’s former athletic director Ian McCaw has been hired as the school’s new AD. McCaw will assume the spot left open by Jeff Barber’s Nov. 17 resignation. McCaw is the first of the major three ex-Baylor officials publicly disgraced for their role in the sc...
Report: Latin American Players To Make A Stand At MLB's Collective Bargaining Session
Major League Baseball’s current collective bargaining agreement expires this Thursday, Dec. 1. With the deadline looming, Ken Rosenthal reported last week that a lockout could be imminent if the league and players association fail to reach an agreement before then. One of the issues on the line is a...
Jason Whitlock Demonstrates Firm Grasp Of Journalism, Advertising, And Wikipedia
Journalism is dead. The privileged, cosseted ranks of this once proud and revered profession have overseen its ruination, content with churning out mindless drivel interspersed with nakedly communist screeds from the safety of their social and intellectual bubble, while demonizing dissenters and fur...
Dwight Howard Confronts Shit-Talking Fan
Dwight Howard hears it from fans every time he returns to Los Angeles to play against the Lakers, and last night was no different:...
The Minnesota Timberwolves Are In A Weird Place Right Now
As an increasingly hopeless Wizards fan, I feel qualified to say this to everyone who’d hoped the early season would look more promising for the young Minnesota Timberwolves: this is just sorta what happens when a team is rich in talent but poor in, you know, really knowing how to play good NBA bask...
LeBron James Blocks Layup With His Presence
I’m putting the full highlight reel from LeBron James’s 26-10-13 beatdown of the Sixers in this post, because maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve taken a few minutes to really enjoy a set of vintage LeBron James highlights. If you want to see a few bulldozing drives to the rim, some adept and punish...
Gleason's Is Moving
Last week, a man on a ladder unscrewed the sign in the stairwell. Yesterday, a crew was disassembling the rings and packing up all the heavy bags. After more than 30 years, Gleason’s Gym is moving....
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....
Charlie Strong Is Now, Officially, Fired
Texas head coach Charlie Strong is now, officially, fired. He went 16-21 with the Longhorns, including yesterday’s blowout loss to TCU that saw him at the helm despite a week of brass in Austin telling the press he was a dead man walking....
NCSU & UNC Launch Bench-Clearing Brawl
North Carolina State and North Carolina brawled in the second quarter today after a play eventually ruled an incompletion after video replay....
Federal Judge Rejects Chess Federation's Sicilian Defense, Allows Media To Report World Championship Moves<em></em>
I’ve watched most of the World Chess Championships without ever actually witnessing Magnus Carlsen or Sergey Karjakin make a single move. As fun as it would be to watch the two grandmasters squirm and fret while contemplating their moves, you only need to know where each player’s pieces are to follo...
Josh Norman Got Himself A New Arch Enemy In Dez Bryant
I think it’s fair to say that the guy who came out of the Great Football Beef of 2015 looking the most like a hothead was Odell Beckham Jr. But yesterday’s game between Washington and Dallas, which included Norman getting into it with Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant during and after the game, was a...
