Tony Romo's Predictive Powers Are A True Marvel
Tony Romo’s ability to sit in the broadcast booth and accurately predict what’s about to happen on the field is something we’re all familiar with, but it was still hard not to impressed by the run he went on during the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship game, which earned him the nickname “Romos...
Julian Edelman’s Fingertips Taketh, Giveth, Taketh Away<em></em>
Julian Edelman’s hands ruled the most consequential sequence so far in tonight’s AFC title game. First, down 17-14, the Chiefs punted to the Patriots receiver, who appeared to muff the punt and set Kansas City up for a prime scoring opportunity. It seemed like to me on the replay that he did touch t...
Report: Pairs Skater John Coughlin Was Accused Of Sexual Misconduct With Minors

Russell Westbrook On If He And Joel Embiid Are Cool: "Fuck No"
Thunder-Sixers has become an inordinately frisky inter-conference rivalry. Last season’s two matchups were marked by relentless shit-talking and mockery on-court and online between Sixers center Joel Embiid and Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. A lot of waving goodbye was involved. The teams pl...
Ben Simmons Delivered An Extra Defender To Jimmy Butler And Then Went Full-Jay Cutler In Loss To Thunder

West Virginia Upsets No. 7 Kansas With Late Go-Ahead Layup For Season's First Conference Win
Junior Mountaineers guard Jermaine Haley was not only perfect against Kansas on the stats sheet—he shot 5-for-5 from the field for 13 points—he was perfect when his team needed him most. Haley hit the go-ahead layup over tough a Jayhawks defense with less than 10 seconds remaining in regulation to g...
Jake Layman Was God For One Quarter Against The Pelicans
Prior to this season, Jake Layman’s career was mostly associated with a joke that he was on pace to be the greatest scorer in NBA history (per 36 minutes, after two games). Now, it’s more about what he’s actually been able to produce on the court within the confines of his real playing time. Thanks ...
Frances Tiafoe Celebrates A Five-Setter Like LeBron
Frances Tiafoe has already earned his place among the greats—in terms of tennis celebrations, that is. This is right on par with the sleeveless Nadal’s chugga-chugga-chugga juggernaut move. Tiafoe took a five-setter to make the fourth round of a major for the first time in his young life, so by all ...
Miles Bridges Can Really Dunk The Shit Out Of The Ball
Hornets rookie Miles Bridges helped his team to a comfortable win over the Kings last night, with 15 points and some strong defense off the bench. Neither of those contributions, nice as they are, matter nearly as much as this absolute hammer he dropped as the shot clock was expiring in the first qu...
The Time A Guy Punctuated The Worst Shooting Performance Of All Time By Declaring War On Bill Laimbeer
Russell Westbrook scored 26 points in Oklahoma City’s loss to the Lakers on Thursday night, including the three clutch free throws that sent the game to overtime. Start there and work backwards across the box score, and you will go from feeling pretty good about Russ’s contributions—hey, 26 points, ...
Daily Beast Peddles Batshit, Debunked Theory About A Serial-Killer Gang Thriving On The “Dark Web”<em></em><em></em>
Today the Daily Beast published a story titled “Is a Serial-Killer Gang Murdering Young Men Across the U.S.?” Boldly defying Betteridge’s Law, the report—written by crime reporter Nicole Weisensee Egan, who covered the Bill Cosby trial for the Beast—suggests that the answer to the question posed in ...
The New UFC Championship Belt Looks Like A Toy
Tomorrow night, the UFC will make its long-awaited debut on ESPN. The fight card is headlined by a flyweight title superfight between bantamweight champ T.J.

American Teen Amanda Anisimova Rattled A Favorite With A Crazy Winner
Aryna Sabalenka has resting tigress face, and she is apt to pounce on any tennis ball that hasn’t been fired at her at bullet pace. The 20-year-old plays to kill, announcing her intentions with loud, flat force. She was the only player to give Naomi Osaka a good fight at the U.S. Open, she already p...
Dan Snyder Reportedly Dumped A Marketing Campaign Because He Saw Nazi Connotations
Washington defensive lineman Jonathan Allen gave out doughnuts to sick kids in D.C. today. The treats came with a photo of him alongside the words “We Hail!” Allen probably should’ve checked with his boss....
Russell Westbrook's Unsteady Son Is A Very Good Sports Baby
Last night before the Oklahoma City Thunder’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Russell Westbrook warmed up with his (extremely well-dressed) son Noah. Noah isn’t even two yet and he’s already sprint-toddling down the court and lobbing shots into his dad’s makeshift hoop arms....
