<i>Serial</i> Sucked And Wasted Everyone's Time
What do I know after listening to every episode of Serial? Nothing. I know absolutely nothing, except that it wasted my damn time, and I really hate it when that happens. Did you know sometimes we send people to prison on flimsy evidence? Did you know investigators can manipulate a witness narrative...

Eastern Conference Basketball Can Eat My Butt
The first half of last night’s game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors was the most entertaining stretch of basketball I’ve watched all season.

Frank Caliendo Does "The Night Before Christmas" As 10 Different ESPNers
Frank Caliendo was on that radio show with the two guys with the same name this morning, and he busted out many of his ESPN impressions to read "The Night Before Christmas."

Alleged Serial Rapist Darren Sharper Indicted On Federal Charges
Yes, there are even more charges against Darren Sharper now.

NBA Shit List: The Philadelphia 76ers, Who Are Capitalism's Diarrhea
Something confounding is happening in Philadelphia. The meanest, vilest, prosthetic-leg-stealingest fanbase in American sports has gone soft for its garbage basketball team, apparently because management promised them a present if they'll all just behave and eat their garbage basketball each nig...

Drake Mixes Up Adam Silver And Donald Sterling During Drake Night
So I guess Drake Night is going to be a yearly tradition for the Toronto Raptors, which is fine by us because Drake + basketball always equals a good time. Last night proved to be no different, when Drake confused NBA commissioner Adam Silver with racist shitbag Donald Sterling....

Nebraska Takes One Last Shot At Bo Pelini After Profane Audio Leak
Recently fired Nebraska coach Bo Pelini held one final meeting with his players, and tore into the school and AD Shawn Eichorst, who he called a "total cunt" and a "total pussy" with "no integrity."

This Looks Like The Year The Celtics Finally Trade Rajon Rondo
Swapping Rajon Rondo trade rumors is America's oldest and most treasured holiday tradition. But this year, the Celtics' last chance to get something for their star point guard, it seems like it's actually going to happen. Last night, all around the same time, seemingly every NBA beat guy began repor...

There Were A Lot Of Buzzer Beaters In the NBA Tonight
Look, the NBA season is too damn long. Even I, an NBA junkie that watches at least 200 games a year, can see that. Too many teams are tanking, too many teams are on energy crippling back-to-backs, and too many teams have injuries to fully showcase 82 games of high-quality basketball. Among the numer...
