Mike Francesa Barely Tolerates His Own Network's Draft Analysts
Mike Francesa's daily radio show is simulcast on Fox Sports 1 now, so you might assume that a segment built around two of the network's NFL draft analysts would lead to some good corporate synergy. The Sports Pope disagrees....

Draft week is exhausting for prospects—they're hustled from meeting to meeting, media appearance to media appearance, with the only opportunity for some rest the bus rides in between.

Matt Cain Injured Himself Cutting His Sandwich Into "Fancy Triangles"

Yankees Fans Boo Picture Of Robinson Cano, Until The Real Cano Shows Up
This is another great gag from Jimmy Fallon, along the same lines as the Matt Harvey prank Fallon pulled on Mets fans. The setup here is pretty simple. A producer gets Yankees fans on the street to boo a large picture of Robinson Cano and after they boo and turn back to the camera, the producer tel...
Bryce Harper Hits The DL After Sliding Head-First
Perhaps the only consolation for Bryce Harper after a shitty week on the basepaths is that it'll be a while before he has to run them again.

Original LeBron Hater Sick Of All The Bandwagon Haters

There's also...

Matt Harvey Tweets Bird-Flipping Picture, Immediately Deletes Account
Mets pitcher Matt Harvey tweeted out this picture today as a way to mark the six-month anniversary of his Tommy John surgery.

Matt Cooke And The Myth Of Reform
Colorado's two-way defenseman Tyson Barrie, who's been one of this series's best players, will miss the next four-to-six weeks with an MCL injury after this knee-on-knee hit from Matt Cooke. Cooke will miss some time too—he's got an in-person hearing scheduled with the league, which means his suspen...
Bryce "Nothing But Hustle" Harper Benched For Lack Of Hustle
Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was benched in yesterday's game against the Cardinals; manager Matt Williams said Harper's early exit came from a lack of hustle. The decision isn't a big deal, but it's amusing if you look at the Nationals' latest program, which advertises Harper on the ...
Columbus Blue Jackets Win First Ever Playoff Game In Double Overtime
The Columbus Blue Jackets qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history in the 2008-2009 season.

UK Fan With "National Champions" Tattoo Taking It As You'd Expect
Sometimes, as with Seahawks Guy, an optimistic tattoo turns out to be prophetic. Other times (most times?) it turns out like it did for Kentucky fan Tyler Black, who went and got this "2014 Nati9nal Champions" tattoo before the tournament. After UConn defeated UK last night, let's check back in with...
