Ted Valentine Won't Help Marshall Henderson Off The Court

Dem Bums In Da Spring

Albert Belle Is Still A Glorious Asshole
One of the worst things about getting older is watching age wear down everyone else's edges, and wondering if the same thing is happening to you.

Miami Pitcher Throws Perfect Game On Night Brother Does Play-By-Play
Miami senior Javi Salas threw a perfect game for the Hurricanes last night against the Villanova Wildcats. Even if the final score wasn't that dramatic—Miami won 17-0—there was another hook: Salas's little brother, Jorge, had the call for the Miami student radio station. It's awesome....

Russell Westbrook Needed Only 21 Minutes To Get A Triple-Double
Yes, it was against what is essentially a D-League team, but Russell Westbrook's 21-minute bludgeoning of the 76ers is worth being excited about. 13 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes isn't something that just happens to a guy coming off his second knee surgery of the year. 13 points...
