Darrelle Revis And Richard Sherman Got Into A Slap Fight On Twitter
Not long ago, Darrelle Revis was unanimously considered to be the best cornerback in the NFL. But then he missed almost the entire 2012 season due to injuries, and Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman put together an all-pro season, leading many (including Sherman) to believe that Revis had been sup...

Grierson & Leitch's Bold Predictions For The Oscar Technical Categories No One Understands
Come Sunday night, you may embark on that annual ritual: Filling out the bottom of your Oscar pool entry, pretending you know the difference between Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing. Will and I will both offer our picks for the eight major categories tomorrow, but today I'm going to offer my...
Alfredo Aceves Is In Mid-Season Form
Alfredo Aceves began tossing batting practice this morning, pretty standard procedure for this time of year. Alfredo Aceves does not know the meaning of pretty standard. So, instead of using it as a slow and steady way to ease into spring training and build arm strength, he used it as another opport...
Watch Raw Footage Of The Shot That Took The Bulls Past The Cavs In 1989, Jerry Reinsdorf's Post-Game Hug With Jordan, And An Amazing Media Scrum
We're not sure of the provenance of this footage—it comes to us from reddit, but we're not sure which TV station shot it—but it's all great: the crowd noise, the incredible baseline angle, the media scrum in which the local guy ("YOU STUCK IT BABY!") gets crowded out for a peeved James Brown and t...
"I'm Gonna Tell You What I'm Gonna Do": What It Was Like To Guard Michael Jordan, According To Craig Ehlo
In honor of Michael Jordan's 50th birthday, we reached out to a man who, possibly more than anyone, understands the sneering greatness of Jordan in his prime: Craig Ehlo, the former NBA player (14 seasons with the Rockets, Cavaliers, Hawks, and SuperSonics) who was on the wrong side of "The Shot" in...
This Is The Face Of A Hockey Player As A Skate Slices Through His Achilles Tendon
Erik Karlsson, the reigning Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's best defenseman, was putting on another spectacular year. And now it's done. Karlsson suffered a lacerated Achilles tendon as the skate blade of Pittsbugh's Matt Cooke came down on the back of his left foot. He will require surgery and is...
Brian Bosworth Had A Real Nice Time At The xx Concert
You probably remember Brian Bosworth as the crazy linebacker with weird hair who was good in college but sucked in the NFL and once got trucked by Bo Jackson. Regardless of what you know about The Boz, though, you probably wouldn't expect him to be the kind of guy who sends tweets like this from Th...
Did Vince Young Take Out A High-Interest Loan To Pay For His Own $300,000 Birthday Party?
So that lawsuit pitting Vince Young against both his former agent and his former financial planner is going pretty much as amicably as we told you it would. Young, who's been out of the NFL since August and is back yawning his way through classes at the University of Texas, is suing Ronnie Peoples, ...
Watch This Gigantic High School Running Back Score Fat Guy Touchdowns
One of the sadder developments in the NFL has been the extinction of the fat running back. Gone are the days when Jerome Bettis, T.J. Duckett, Ron Dayne, Najeh Davenport, and LenDale White made a living by hefting their considerable weight up and down the field....
Blake Griffin Switches Hands Mid-Dunk
This is reminiscent of (but not nearly as pretty as) Michael Jordan switching hands in Game 2 of the 1991 Finals against the Lakers. It's not as fluid and obvious as Jordan, but that same hesitation is there and, anyway, Griffin's game has never been about pretty. It's about power and this is what...
Should You Storm The Court? An All-Purpose Guide
Four of the top five teams in college hoops lost on the road this week. When that happens, students storm courts. Illinois hits a last-second bunny to break a tie with No. 1 Indiana? That's a stormin'. TCU, heretofore winless in the Big 12, never trailed on the way to embarrassing No. 5 Kansas? That...
Kobe Bryant Hisses Like A Snake On The Court, According To Jordan Crawford
Yesterday's installment of Dan Le Batard's ESPN podcast featured a segment in which Le Batard is joined by Wizards guard Jordan Crawford. The ensuing conversation isn't anything special, save for this anecdote about Crawford's experience matching up against Kobe Bryant (transcription courtesy of DC...
Michigan Football Recruit: "Until I Die, I'm Gonna Be A Buckeye Fan." This Ought To Go Over Well.
National Signing Day is more than just a day for adults to lose their minds over where 17-year-old boys decide to attend college. It's also a day for the media to lap up quotes like "I'm really excited to attend School X," "School Y just seemed like a good fit," and "Coach Z just seems like a great ...
Donald Driver Surprises Old Lady Who Is His Biggest Fan
Being snobby East Coast elites, we've never understood the people of Wisconsin and their Packers. I guess the public owns the team, so that's something. Even so: These folks love the Packers even more than the team's shared ownership would dictate. The people consider every last Packer a beautiful s...

Turkish Woman Decapitated In Go-Kart Crash [UPDATE]
Gruesome story out of Turkey: A 24-year-old woman was beheaded today at a go-kart track in Adapazarı, about two hours east of Istanbul, when the cart she was riding in crashed into a safety barrier. According to witnesses, the woman's seat belt cut off her head during the crash's impact:...
TCU Upsets Kansas, Gets First Big 12 Win; Fans Storm Court
The unranked and under .500 TCU Horned Frogs never trailed in the game and handed the fifth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks their second consecutive loss of the season. Kansas only managed 55 points, its lowest point total in almost six years....
The Steven Soderbergh Experience: Brilliant, Modest, Fiercely Intelligent, Ultimately Disappointing
"I was watching one of those iconoclast shows on the Sundance Channel. Jamie Oliver said Paul Smith had told him something he hadn't understood until very recently: 'I'd rather be No. 2 forever than No. 1 for a while.' Just make stuff and don't agonize over it. Stop worrying about being No. 1. I s...
Big Rugby Brawl Will Leave You Wanting More
Take a look at this fight, during a World Cup qualifier between Georgia (in white) and Belgium. It's pretty good—I guess. The newspapers are throwing all kinds of adjectives at it: "giant," "massive," "fiery." So why does the actual brawl disappoint?...
This Coco Crisp Bobblehead Does The Bernie, And You Want It
The A's adopted the Bernie Lean as their rally dance last year, and it seems to have been worked. After Coco Crisp introduced the clubhouse to the song (actually, two songs: "Moving Like Berney" by ISA and "Bernie Lean" by ATM & IMD), and adopted the latter as his walk-up music, Oakland went on a la...
