The 49ers' New Head Coach Is Some Guy You've Never Heard Of
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the San Francisco 49ers are about to make defensive line coach Jim Tomsula the new head coach of the team. Feel free to pretend like you know all about Jim Tomsula and are therefore capable of determining whether this is a good or bad move....
Rex Ryan's Got His Swagger Back
Rex Ryan had his introductory press conference with the Buffalo Bills today, and if its tone was any indication of what Ryan's tenure as the Bills head coach is going to be like, we should all be very excited....
UPDATE: Whoa, The 2016 Olympics Didn't Have 3-On-3 Basketball But The 2020 Olympics Really Will<em></em><em></em>
UPDATE (6/9/2017 11:30 a.m.): The Associated Press reports that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will include 3-on-3 basketball. The International Olympic Committee’s decision and its accompanying reasoning—that “the best urban team sport is 3-on-3 street basketball”—closely track the January 2015 story in t...
Duke Lost Again!
Two days after losing their first game of the season, Duke lost its second. The Blue Devils were embarrassed at home by Miami, losing 90-74. They're awful right now!...
Report: Cavaliers Players Ignore, Openly Gripe About David Blatt
The Cleveland Cavaliers, with LeBron James back and their starting five finally intact, got smoked by the Phoenix Suns last night. The team is now 19-20, the worst any team with LeBron on it has been this late in the season since his rookie year. And after the game, ESPN's Brian Windhorst dropped a ...
Mo Williams, Of All People, Scored 52 Points Last Night
The Elias Sports Bureau says that the 15-game losing streak Wolves guard Mo Williams broke with his 52-point explosion last night is the longest ever broken by a 50-point game. The second-longest was an 11-gamer, in 1962, broken by Wilt Chamberlain. That's a neatly truth-telling factoid: Only a ...
The Golden State Warriors Are Having The Most Fun
One of my favorite things that happens in the NBA is when a talented team reaches a point where every guy, from the stars to the benchwarmers, begins to understand just how damn good they have it. The Golden State Warriors, currently sporting a 30-5 record, are squarely in that zone....
LeBron Moves Coach Blatt Aside To Attend To Grown Folks' Business
This is just David Blatt's existence now isn't it, suffering a long string of indignities and being treated more like a rookie player than a rookie coach? One day he is forced to clarify his comments after saying Kevin Love is not a max contract player, the next LeBron James is pushing him (likely t...
What Do We Know About Rob Konrad's 16 Hours At Sea?
Alone under the sky, impossibly far from anyone who could help him and miles from shore, the former football player swam nine—or was it 27?—miles to save his life. He pictured his two daughters waiting for him back home, and used the sun and stars to guide himself through shark-infested waters to ...
Ohio State's Loss To Va Tech Was The Worst Ever By A National Champ
It's nearly inconceivable that a national championship team, one that defeated the top two teams in the country with its third-string quarterback, lost earlier in the season to a school that had a losing conference record and barely qualified for a bowl game. But somehow Virginia Tech defeated Ohio ...
Don't Worry, The Diamondbacks Are Still Gritty As Hell
When the Arizona Diamondbacks cleaned house in the offseason, firing manager Kirk "The Grit Lord" Gibson and GM Kevin Towers, the schadenfreude-inclined baseball fan may have feared that the team's new regime would do away with the team's retrograde ethos—the one that made them think trading Justin ...
Report: Mikhail Prokhorov Is Trying To Sell The Nets

Let's Look At All The Shitheads Who Thought A Playoff Was A Bad Idea
We'll start with the obvious, which is that the college football playoff was fucking awesome and I am happy that it finally exists. It returned meaningful football games to New Year's Day, which I had missed dearly. It amplified the importance of regular season games, rather than diluting them. I...
Oregon's Mascot Got A Lil' Freaky Last Night
This is Puddles, the cuddly mascot of the Oregon Ducks, getting kinda nasty and baring its, uh, breasts(?) for some fans at last night's national championship game....
"Scott Van Pelt Still Look Like A Penis," And Other Mean CFB Tweets
Here's the obligatory Disney conglomerate mean-tweet-reading reacharound. There's a good SVP joke in there, but as always, what you're looking for here is the moron who can't even ham up a tweet correctly (it's Jesse Palmer, who sucks). ...
Police Use Tear Gas, Pepper Spray To Break Up OSU Celebrations
As soon as the Buckeyes finished off their championship, fans and students flooded the streets on and around Ohio State's campus. They were largely well-behaved, but it didn't matter: after about 90 minutes, authorities cleared out the area with mounted police, riot cops, liberal use of pepper spray...
