Burkina Faso’s National Team Is Playing For Liberty (And Money)
Burkina Faso hosts Uganda tomorrow at Ouagadougou’s Stade du 4 Août 1983, with qualification for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations on the line. For members and staff of Les Étalons, though, the match represents more than just the next step in the march toward Gabon....
Adam Morrison Is Prepared For The Apocalypse. Are You?
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice, but when it does end it’ll be survived by an unathletic shooter with a single ACL and an underground cache of insulin....
Steve Francis Needs A Company To Ship One Of His Boats
Attention: Steve Francis, former star point guard for the University of Maryland and the Houston Rockets and not-star point guard for the New York Knicks, needs one of his boats moved from Sarasota, Fla. to “the Harbor.” (Presumably, if you’re the sort of person who can get a boat moved out of Saras...
What Chair Has Been Farted In The Most?
Chairs! They’re soft and comfortable and they provide the perfect acoustic backdrop for a good, solid round of farting. But what chair has been farted in the most over time? Can you even NAME a famous chair without cheating? Is an uninformed discussion about chair farts worth your time at all? THAT ...
Peeps Are The Worst Seasonal Candy
Easter is upon us. You know this—even if you don’t have a grandmother sending increasingly frantic texts asking what time you’ll be there for dinner on Sunday—because the commercials have all gone pastel and there are goddamn Peeps everywhere. If you don’t care about the religious significance, East...
Madison Bumgarner And Jason Heyward's Beef Wasn't Really A Beef At All
Madison Bumgarner’s on-mound demeanor could be described using many different words; I’ll go with “cantankerous,” but depending upon your perspective anything from “fired-up” to “dickish” can be appropriate. So when Jason Heyward stood around seemingly staring at Bumgarner after taking a called thir...
Oh, This'll Really Reassure People That The Browns Have Turned Things Around
Robert Griffin III is a Brown. (As he was, on some level, always destined to be.) The Browns’ football people, especially head coach Hue Jackson, apparently loved what they saw from Griffin in a workout last week. A workout that was attended by shitbag owner Jimmy Haslam. We now learn, from this NFL...
Dillon Brooks Says Coach K Lectured Him About Sportsmanship In The Handshake Line
Defending champion Duke is out, falling to No. 1 seed Oregon 82-68 in a game that was decided so early, nothing on the court is going to garner the attention of whatever happened between Mike Krzyzewski and Dillon Brooks in the handshake line. Or didn’t happen, depending on who you ask....
J.J. Redick's Game-Winner Was Made Possible By Chris Paul's Nutmeg Inbounds
So this is a game-winning shot by J.J. Redick (at least one Dookie had a good night), but it’s not even the most impressive thing in this clip. Watch it again, and pay attention to Chris Paul’s inbounds pass. He is being guarded by 6'11" Mason Plumlee, who was brought into the game specifically to d...
D.J. Stephens Throws Down Thunderous Fast Break Alley-Oop
D.J. Stephens of the D-League’s Iowa Energy yammed home this alley-oop during a close win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. The cut-off perspective of the Vine may be preferable, as it almost looks like Stephens comes out of nowhere for the slam: ...
This Is One Dumb Technical Foul
Refs blew it twice in one play tonight as Maryland’s Jake Layman wasn’t whistled for a double dribble on his first-half dunk against Kansas, but earned a technical foul for hanging on the rim. There’s a good reason Layman didn’t immediately let go after the straight-on two-handed dunk, and the techn...
<i>Grand Theft Auto</i> Is Currently Playing Out Live Near Phoenix [UPDATE]
Here’s a gent leading cops on a police chase who can be seen hopping out of his truck, attacking a dude on a motorcycle, failing to abscond with said motorcycle, and then getting back in his truck and speeding away. You can keep up with the chase here, at KNXV....
Yoenis Cespedes Decides Ball That's <i>Right There</i> Is Unplayable, Allows Inside-The-Park Home Run
A truly amazing spring training lowlight from Mets-Astros this afternoon, as an A.J. Reed ball hit past Yoenis Cespedes stuck at the base of the wall. It didn’t wedge under anything; it wasn’t trapped, or unreachable; it wasn’t obstructed in any way that would have warranted the umpire calling dead ...
I'm Obsessed With The Nashville Hot Chicken That Almost Killed Me
As a baby I gnawed on lemons with joy. I‘ve never been kind to my taste buds. Chain-eating Warhead candies, nibbling habaneros, taking dares on wasabi globs. Short of the really inhumane—nuking your innards with genetic monstrosity Scoville-freak peppers, which some people do, voluntarily, on camera...

Let's Watch All Of The Long-Range Needle-Threading Passes
Midway through the third quarter of the Warriors’ game against the Clippers, Stephen Curry threw this astonishing off-handed bullet pass through a thicket of bodies right on the money to Draymond Green, who yammed it home. Make sure to stick around for that alternate angle. ...

Soccer Player Quits Team After Learning Teammate Was Sleeping With His Wife
The man pictured above is Christian Keller, very recently the captain of Danish first-division club Randers.
