An Encounter With La Salle's Lionel Simmons, Last Of The Local Gods
He was still the coolest guy in the building. Stylish sneakers, dark jeans, a navy-colored vest puffing out from a navy-colored sweatshirt.

The NCAA's Miami Investigation Didn't Actually Stop Using Unethical Methods When It Claimed It Did
The NCAA fucked up its investigation of Miami in oh so many ways.

The independen...
Jeff Green Hugged His Heart Surgeon After Making Game-Winning Layup
Here's a wonderful picture of Jeff Green, moments after sinking a game-winning layup at the end of last night's Cavs-Celtics game, giving a big hug to Dr. Lars Svensson.

New Hampshire School District Bans Dodgeball As Part Of Anti-Bullying Campaign
The Windham, N.H., school board voted overwhelmingly to ban dodgeball and "nine other 'human target' activities" from its schools.

How Marshall Henderson Gets Away With Being Marshall Henderson
On Sunday night, we said goodbye to Ole Miss guard Marshall Henderson, college basketball's most exciting troll, a sort of human "u mad bro?" who did everything to antagonize his opponents short of popping motorcycle wheelies at halfcourt with their girlfriends riding pillion. He and the 12th-seeded...

Matt Barnes Ruined A Perfectly Exciting Game With This Air Ball

Making Your Own Ketchup Is Idiotic
Before we hit the Funbag, one quick programming note: there won't be a Live Funbag on Thursday. Having children on Spring Break means being around your children for 150 consecutive hours, and it's unlikely that I will be of sound mind by the time Thursday rolls around. You'll understand one day....
Minor League Baseball Stadium To Turn Urinals Into Video Game Systems
This isn't a surprising development, really, considering how much dudes enjoy video games and peeing.

Topps Puts Pitcher's Season-Ending Injury On His Baseball Card
