Adrian Peterson Is Thirsty
There are lots of good reasons not to sign Adrian Peterson. He’s coming off a season largely lost to a torn meniscus.

Will Serena Williams Be Ready For The French Open?<em></em>
It’s only March and the French Open isn’t until the end of May, but there’s reason to wonder (or in my case, as a devoted Serena disciple, worry) if Serena Williams will be ready to win the next grand slam of the year. She hasn’t played a competitive match since her Australian Open win and she annou...
Russell Westbrook Is The Goddamn MVP, Clowns!
San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard had a fabulous game last night against the Houston Rockets. He scored 39 points—17 in the fourth quarter alone—on only 18 shots.

The Rockets went to San Antonio tonight to play the Spurs and give us all a preview of what the Western Conference semifinals will be like. For most of the game, Houston was in control.

Gonzaga Faceplanted And Now UCLA Is Coming For The No. 1 Seed
Going into Saturday’s NCAA action, it looked like Gonzaga was a lock to earn the No. 1 seed in the West.

Shane Doan Is A Little Tired Of Seeing The Coyotes Give Up
