Ottawa Senators Make Public Plea Seeking Liver Donor For Ailing Owner

It's Time To Get Over Being Over IPAs
Despite all the breath chumps like me expend talking about sours and pilsners and whatever else we’ve decided is cool on any given day, India pale ales are still the best-selling category of craft beer. Sometimes it’s hard to think of anything new to say about them, so we scurry around looking for s...
The Hawks Ruined Another Great Moment In Paul Pierce Shit-Talking
Paul Pierce’s late three in Game 5, which put his Wizards up 81-80 over the Hawks with less than 10 seconds to play, was wasted by Nene’s inability to box out and prevent Al Horford’s game-winning layup. That’s a shame, because if the Wizards had managed to win, Pierce would have reached a new high ...
The Warriors Are Cruel
I won’t presume to know how Grizzlies fans were feeling during the first few minutes of last night’s Game 5 loss to the Warriors. It was certainly too early for them to be feeling confident, but the Grizzlies being up by double digits early, with Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph doing their thing and th...
Jalen Rose Calls Chris Webber "Delusional"
Four years ago ESPN released The Fab Five, a 30 for 30 documentary about the 1991 Michigan basketball recruiting class of Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson.

This Harry Shearer Interview Helps Explain His <i>Simpsons </i>Exit, And Him
So Harry Shearer and The Simpsons are finally parting company, after years (decades?) of public acrimony over money and the show’s declining quality. He broke the news on Twitter, of course, citing scheduling concerns as the real culprit ......
The Rangers Are Built To Just Get By
Again it came down to one game, one goal, and again the Rangers escaped by the skin of their teeth. When Derek Stepan slotted home a traffic-stopped puck that landed right at his feet, the Rangers had won their sixth consecutive Game 7, all in the last four seasons, tying an NHL record...
Al Horford Wills Atlanta To A Win In Game 5
The Wizards almost blew Game 3. They had a 19-point lead going into the fourth quarter, but with 14 seconds left found themselves tied. Only a miracle Paul Pierce shot bailed them out. ...
Corey Kluber Takes No-Hitter Into The 7th, Fans 18
Corey Kluber was a very good pitcher last year. So good, in fact, that he won the American League Cy Young award, narrowly edging out Felix Hernandez. This season, though, has been a very different story. ...
John Wall Is Back And Doing Ridiculous Shit
John Wall is playing for the first time in four games tonight, and man did we miss him. He’s been his usual whirling dervish self all over the court, but this no-look overhead pass is insane....
Report: NBA GMs See No Problem With Hack-A-Shaq
The NBA’s general managers held their annual meeting in Chicago today, and one of the topics discussed was the intentional fouling of bad free throwers, known as Hack-A-Shaq or Hack-A-[Insert Terrible Free Thrower]. CBS’s Ken Berger reports that there was “no overwhelming consensus” from executives ...
The NBA's Christmas Uniforms Are Actually Great This Year (For Once)
Uni Watch has the designs for the NBA’s typically gahd-awful Christmas Day uniforms. They’re great. They’re better than like half the league’s standard unis. (The teams in red look like Coke ads.)...
Joel Ward Gets Hockey Better Than Lazy Sportswriters
Alexander Ovechkin guaranteed that the Capitals will win tonight’s Game 7. What if the Rangers win? Or, more trickily, what if the Caps win and Ovechkin doesn’t appear on the scoresheet? How would that reflect upon Ovechkin, who (unfairly) has gained a reputation as a scorer who can’t score in the m...

Giancarlo Stanton Crushes Homer Out Of Dodger Stadium, Literally

The Player Whose Bell Stayed Rung
On the same day a federal judge approved a billion-dollar settlement in the NFL concussion litigation, Rickie Harris told me a story I’d wanted to hear for a long time. It’s a legend from his days with the Florida Blazers, possibly the worst-managed franchise in professional sports history....
