Derrick Rose Falls, Entire Bench Runs Over To Make Sure He's Not Broken
Derrick Rose played in a preseason game against the Cavaliers last night, and he looked decidedly not-dead, which is encouraging. What is not encouraging is how his teammates reacted when Rose hit the ground at the end of the first half and spent an extra beat or two on the floor....
Sorachi Ace Is The Most Brooklyn Of Beers
I have very little interest in the concept of Brooklyn as a lifestyle brand or cultural signifier. For one thing, to call something "very Brooklyn" is woefully imprecise: Do you mean that little part of Brooklyn with the expensive strollers and the yogurt and the kale and all that other shit we ta...

Oklahoma's Kicker Was The Most Disastrous College Player This Week
Down 31-24 early in the fourth quarter, Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight threw a touchdown pass that brought the Sooners one point within Kansas State.

The Rams' Balls-Out Special-Teams Play Was Brilliant Fun
Let's take the time to praise the enormous stones on the Rams' coaching staff for calling two of the most exciting and least anticipated trick plays of the season: a fake punt and, before that, a fake punt return. Each played a huge part in St. Louis's upset win over Seattle....

<em>Family Feud</em> Is The Best (And Dirtiest) Thing On TV
For someone who spends an inordinate percentage of his waking life staring at screens, I don't watch a lot of television. What a lot of folks consider to be a godsend—the so-called Golden Age of TV—is to me more of a pain in the ass: Just how many shows am I expected to watch? Also, no matter how ...
Earl Thomas Says The Seahawks "Are Playing The Referees Too"
The Seahawks were particularly pissed about a single call, a late-game fumble that appeared to end up in the hands of Richard Sherman but which officials were unable to overturn because no replay angle conclusively proved possession. But safety Earl Thomas's comments hinted at some more general frus...
Here Are 12 Scary-Ass Halloween Movies To Totally Ruin Your Shit
I have always suspected that there is a reason why all of our best holidays come in the fall and winter. Days get shorter, and it's cold and wet out, and all the animals go to bed, and all the trees, like, die or whatever. Winter is a hard, shitty time of year....

Tony Romo Calls Out LB Jameel McClain As The Mike; McClain Disagrees
Quarterbacks call out the Mike linebacker all the time in football. The purpose is so the offensive line knows which defensive players to block, using the Mike as a starting point. (Here's a quick, good explanation for the unfamiliar.) When Tony Romo identified Giants linebacker Jameel McClain as ...
How Homegrown Stars Like Gyasi Zardes Are Transforming MLS
Gyasi Zardes is one the best attacking players in MLS right now, and he is neither a wrung-out superstar cashing in chips on an American soccer vacation nor a USMNT star boomeranging back home for regular playing time. His 16 goals for the LA Galaxy are the most of any American (and fifth-most in ML...
Desperation, No-Look, Over-The-Backboard Shot Somehow Goes In
Here's a crazy shot from today's Union Olimpija-Partizan Belgrade game. Olimpija's Blaž Mahkovic didn't give up on the possession, and now he's a highlight. What's Slovene for "Tommy Point"?...
