Miami Heat Do The Harlem Shake, <i>SportsCenter</i> Explains It For The Stupids
The Heat released their Harlem Shake video yesterday, and as much as we'd like to call this a dead meme, it's racked up 2.3 million views in under a day. It's watchable as far as these go because of who's in it: where else but in your Stygian nightmares can you see Chris Andersen flapping towards ...
Falcons Cut Michael Turner, John Abraham, And Dunta Robinson
Atlanta came within 10 yards of the Super Bowl, but in the salary cap era that's no reason not to blow things up. It wasn't unexpected, by today the Falcons announced the releases of RB Michael Turner, DE John Abraham, and CB Dunta Robinson. It's not fun to say goodbye to three faces of a franchise ...
"Change This Face. Be Happy. Enjoy!" Says Ricky Rubio To A Bummed Out Alexey Shved
Man, why can't we live in a world where Ricky Rubio magically appears whenever we're having a bad day and tells us to turn our frowns upside down? Spilled coffee on your new shirt? Poof! There's Ricky reminding you that sea otters hold hands when they sleep next to each other so they don't float a...
The Big East Just Got Good Again
No, the sad-sack Big East didn't find a miraculous way to stop hemorrhaging schools, nor re-negotiate its TV deal with ESPN that will pay six times less than what it was offered just two years ago. The Big East, one of the most storied basketball conferences in the country, wasn't able to swing a la...

Klay Thompson's Parents Are Docking His Allowance For Getting Involved In The Warriors-Pacers Fight
Aside from David Lee and Roy Hibbert, a number of players had supporting roles in Monday night's Golden State-Indiana mini-brawl. One of them was Klay Thompson, who was fined $35,000 for escalating the fight. You can see him in the video, No. 11, holding the basketball. He charges Hibbert from behin...
Yet Another Weird Baseball Injury: Elvis Andrus Sits With Tattoo Soreness
Rangers SS Elvis Andrus is not in the lineup today, having been scratched with "Silly Non-Baseball-Related Malady." It's very common, especially in spring training. This particular incidence took the form of muscle soreness, caused by a giant tattoo....

The Flames Just Made The Most Inexplicable Trade Of The Year
Brian McGrattan is no catch: the journeyman brawler has bounced around from team to team, and up and down from the AHL, since the lockout. So when the Predators waived him, he cleared easily. He was assigned to their AHL affiliate yesterday. This morning, Calgary traded for him....
College Outfielder Makes Mind-Bending Diving Catch
You're going to have to watch this a few times, and even then you probably won't be able to properly wrap your mind around this insane catch from N.C. State center fielder Brett Williams. A full-speed diving catch that smoothly transitions into a mid-air somersault should be impossible to pull off...
Monta Ellis Wins Game With Ridiculous Buzzer-Beater, Immediately Exits Court
Steph Curry wasn't the only one doing what he was put on Earth to do last night. Monta Ellis, one of the league's most renowned chuckers, had himself a quintessential Monta Ellis game in Houston. He scored 27 points on 9-24 shooting and hit the crazy, game-winning buzzer-beater you see above. It's...
Steph Curry Found His Swagger
This is what Steph Curry was put on Earth to do: shoot. We've seen him do magic on the floor this year, from this frankly unfair bounce pass to a pair of filthy crossovers just two nights ago. But he's a pure shooter, and for 48 minutes at MSG—you don't take out a hand that hot—he shot. Pure. ...
Stephen Curry Was Out Of His Mind Tonight
Curry had 38 points and two filthy crossovers last night and he went and topped himself tonight. In 48 minutes on a quick turnaround, Curry finished with 54 points and shot 11-13 from behind the arc. The Knicks won 109-105, but it felt like they were fighting a losing battle of catch-up with him....
Combine Interviews With The Bengals Are Not Like Combine Interviews With Other Teams
Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Oklahoma OT Lane Johnson was asked some tough questions....
Russell Martin Leaves Canada's WBC Team Because They Won't Let Him Play Shortstop
Pirates backstop Russell Martin doesn't want to be a catcher. It's boring. You have to crouch all game. You never get to run around. You rarely get to throw the ball beyond returning it to the pitcher. Rather than getting to enjoy a sunny afternoon on the diamond, you have to spend every moment goin...
Tyreke Evans Tries To Troll Dwyane Wade, Embarrasses Himself Instead
In a game that nobody expected to be as entertaining as it was, the Miami Heat pulled out a 141-129 double-overtime victory against the Sacramento Kings last night. The Kings should be proud of how well they hung with the Heat before getting demolished by an angry LeBron James, but they shouldn't ...
Casey Prather Pondered Life, Existence, And Why Blood Was Pouring From His Skull
Tennessee knocked off #8 Florida last night 64-58, and it was an unhappy homecoming for Casey Prather even before the final buzzer sounded. The junior Gators guard and Tennessee native earned a nasty gash to the face late in the game, in the process possibly taking on his third concussion of the se...
Stephen Curry Pulls Off Two Sublime Crossovers, Is Brilliant
With respect to the shoving party that spilled into the first row, the most entertaining thing about last night's Warriors-Pacers game was Stephen Curry crossing up his opponents with extreme prejudice. His first victim was George Hill, whose valiant attempt to play good transition defense ended w...
LeBron James Threatens To End His Pregame Dunking
Look what we did, internet. We ruined a good thing. LeBron James's casually thunderous, between-the-legs-and-off-the-glass slam during warmups for Sunday's game went viral, shining a light on a relatively recent Heat tradition: the layup line mini-dunk contest. But people have been getting on James ...
