Report: Johnny Manziel Told His Friends To Lie To The Browns About Partying Video

Kevin Garnett Is Nuts, Part Infinity
ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan wrote an awesome story about Kevin Garnett, who at 39 years old has been called on by the Minnesota Timberwolves to mentor the team’s crop of talented young players in his famously intense style. The story is great because it goes beyond just pointing at Garnett’s lunatic per...
The Patriots Are Sketchy And Deserve Scrutiny
Monday night’s Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots game was a primetime display of shoddy officiating. The most egregious instance involved an inadvertent whistle on a Danny Amendola catch that would have been a huge gain, if not a touchdown, but Gene Steratore’s crew bungled other plays throughout t...

A Treasure Trove Of Very Sad 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers, now in year three of their shameless rebuild, are 0-15.

If You Aren't Up On Ben Simmons Yet, It's Time To Change That
LSU freshman forward Ben Simmons played in his first nationally televised game last night, hanging a dominant 21-20-7 line in a one-point loss to Marquette.
