For Maybe The First Time This Season, Kobe And LeBron Have Some Fun

Kobe is fighting an increasingly sclerotic body and plays for the hopeless Lakers, while LeBron has already missed his most games in a season ever and plays for the dramatically underwhelming Cavaliers. But in a narrow Cavs win ...
ESPN's Dave Pasch Outs Self As Creationist After Receiving Darwin Book

Lou Merloni Resists Attacking Protestors Who Say Black Lives Matter
Former Red Sox infielder and current WEEI yakker Lou Merloni is perhaps best known in Boston for being from Framingham and for being Nomar's friend.

Dumb People Are Mad At Cardale Jones, For Some Reason

The Packers Got Everyone In Green Bay Playing Settlers Of Catan
The Wall Street Journal's Kevin Clark, who has been pumping out fun, off-color NFL stories all year, has another good one today.

How To Ride A Bike In The City
I'm totally going to jinx myself by typing this, but here goes: After 10 years of religious urban bike-riding, nothing terrible has happened to me. I've never been doored or side-swiped, my bike has never been stolen outright (though parts of it have), and I've never caught a flat while flying down ...
Fernando Torres Scores First Goal Back With Atlético Against Real Madrid
Hey, maybe this whole homecoming thing is going to work out, afterall! This is the exact kind of goal Torres has made his once-proud name so infamous, one where he had ample time to size up a fairly easy shot, and instead of scuffing it into an ad board, he spanked it home....
This Is No Way To Act In A Buffalo Wild Wings, Ohio State Fan

<i>Charlie Hebdo </i>Is France's Answer To <i>South Park</i>, Or Vice Versa
Most Americans woke up last Wednesday, scrolled through social media, learned of the Paris terrorist attack that left 12 dead, and, within minutes, had formed an opinion about a French satirical newspaper they'd never heard of. A consensus emerged: Charlie Hebdo (typical print run: 60,000) was an ...

Harrison Barnes Forces Revision To The Definition Of A Shabazz Assist
Last week I introduced the Shabazz Assist, a revolutionary new statistic that properly credits a player for missing dunks that "ricochet perfectly to an open teammate in the corner." But like any forefront in advanced analytics, the Shabazz Assist remains a work in progress, and in hindsight its p...
Mark Jackson Returned To Oracle Arena And Threw Shade: An Explainer
The Golden State Warriors took on the discombobulated, LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers last Friday and beat them soundly.

Report: Cavaliers Players Ignore, Openly Gripe About David Blatt
The Cleveland Cavaliers, with LeBron James back and their starting five finally intact, got smoked by the Phoenix Suns last night. The team is now 19-20, the worst any team with LeBron on it has been this late in the season since his rookie year. And after the game, ESPN's Brian Windhorst dropped a ...
