Richard Sherman Says Fantasy Football Has Ruined Fans' Ability To Feel Sympathy For Injured Players

Late last night in the Seahawks’ 46-18 win over the Colts, rookie running back Chris Carson was tackled for no gain and ended up twisted down in a pile.

Erik Karlsson's Quotes About His New Bionic Foot Sound Kind Of Ominous

The Senators’ brand of hockey, a 1-3-1, neutral-zone clogging formation that forces the puck out wide and limits odd-man rushes at both ends of the ice, is aesthetically unappealing, to the point where you find yourself rooting against them in the postseason just so you don’t have to watch them anym...

Sounds Like The Hawks Despised Dwight Howard

Zach Lowe had Kevin Arnovitz on his podcast Tuesday to discuss the five most puzzling teams in the NBA, one of which was the Charlotte Hornets.
