Sad Derrick Rose, Likely Out For Season, Gets Sued By Newly Obese Fan
It just keeps getting worse for Derrick Rose fans. The Chicago Bulls point guard tore his ACL in the first round of the 2012 playoffs, and we haven't seen him in a game since.

NFL Draft Prospects' Wonderlic Scores Leaked; No One Gives A Shit
Just yesterday, we realized that the NFL Draft is almost upon us, and not a single Wonderlic score had leaked out.

Both surgeries were completed without incident, if you couldn't tell ju...
Giant-Ass Runaway Pig Is A Thing To Behold
This picture comes to us from the News-Record in Greensboro, N.C., and it is just the best goddamn thing. Nobody knows where that monstrosity of a pig came from, or why it was running loose in a Greensboro neighborhood yesterday afternoon. All we know is that it let out a "horrific, loud squeal" whi...
After Brawl, Matt Kemp Confronts Carlos Quentin In Parking Lot
Nobody was angrier about Carlos Quentin's decision to charge the mound and break Zack Greinke's collarbone last night than Matt Kemp.

Saunders will go on the DL ...

Senators Owner Launching Forensic Investigation Into Erik Karlsson Injury
How do you forensically investigate an injury that is more than a month old? I don't know, but Eugene Melnyk is doing it, goddammit.

Matt Barnes Ruined A Perfectly Exciting Game With This Air Ball
Goddamnit, Matt Barnes. Last night's game between your Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks was really fun to watch!

Sergio Garcia Just Climbed Into A Tree Like A Monkey And Hit A One-Handed, Backwards, No-Look Shot, And That Shit Really Worked
When Sergio's Garcia errant shot got caught in a big ass tree today at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, he was basically screwed.
