The pre–NBA Finals NBA Finals are already a drunken bar argument, and they’re only going to get worse. The Houston Rockets ... the Golden State Warriors ...
Dave Gettleman Now Has Everything Riding On Daniel Jones
New York Giants GM Dave Gettleman apparently did not enjoy watching the majority of NFL fans and media make fun of him for selecting Duke quarterback Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. He’s responded to the criticism by going on a media campaign of his own, sitting down ...
Well That Was An Officiating Clusterfuck
In an ironic twist, it was James Harden that spoke up about officiating problems in Game 1 of the Rockets-Warriors series. He told reporters after the game that “he just wants a fair chance” and that he’s willing to live with whatever results come from the game as long as it’s called “the way it’s s...
Fernando Tatis Jr. Leaves Padres-Nationals After Doing A Split He Was Not Prepared For
In the bottom of the 10th, Victor Robles went for a bunt to try and advance a runner, Wilmer Difo, to second base. Padres pitcher Matt Wisler made a run towards the ball in an attempt to at least stop Difo from advancing. Fernando Tatis Jr. was under the impression that Wisler’s throw was not going ...
The Celtics Stole Giannis Antetokounmpo's Lunch Money And Stuffed Him In A Locker
Game 1 of the Bucks-Celtics series seemed to prove that there were little to no overarching takeaways from the first round of the playoffs that could have been used to predict how this game would go. The Bucks were not the world-beaters they looked to be in their four-game sweep of the Pistons; the ...
Mets Fan Accidentally Showers Ryan Braun With Overpriced Beer
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was smashing things pitches early on Sunday against the Brewers. In the bottom of the first, he sent a fastball deep into left field and forced Ryan Braun to try and track it down by the wall. Thinking it was going over, Braun made an attempt at a leaping catch but was...
Arizona's Zack Godley Wiggles Ass, Balks Home A Run
The first sign that the Diamondbacks were in for a long night against the Cubs came even before the first inning started, when a healthy population of Chicago fans filled the seats of Chase Field. The second sign came in the top of the third, when a seemingly harmless rump shake from pitcher Zack Go...
Washington's Dwayne Haskins Predicted His New Team's Eventual Quarterbacking Needs When He Wrote For His High School Paper
Prior to playing quarterback for Ohio State, and then getting selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, Dwayne Haskins was a student and four-star recruit at Bullis School in Potomac, Md. When he wasn’t in the classroom, or practicing on the field, he was apparently trying to perfect life’s most...
Rich Eisen Was Absolutely Amped That A Punter Got Picked In The Fourth Round
It’s difficult to make the NFL Draft seem interesting as the rounds progress and the pool of players that commentators have conceivably heard of continues to shrink at an exponential rate. But even as the pick numbers hit triple digits, teams are still capable of making exciting moves that can injec...
Seahawks Had Future Second-Round Pick DK Metcalf Arrive Topless To Combine Interview
DK Metcalf was an above-average college receiver whose draft stock exploded after a shirtless photo of him working out at the gym revealed he’s jacked as hell. At the NFL Combine, scouts only continued to drool over Metcalf once his numbers came in to show that he was pretty damn fast and that his m...
The Clippers Didn't Have An Answer For Kevin Durant On Or Off The Court
Kevin Durant had one of those games on Friday against the Clippers that superstars put out to remind opponents just how much better they are than everyone else. As these players are wont to do in these kinds of games, Durant imposed his will on the Clippers in the first half, dropping 38 points on ...
The White Sox Stopped Screwing Up Long Enough To Let Tim Anderson Be The Bat-Flipping Hero
After getting suspended one game for calling a white guy the n-word, Tim Anderson told reporters that the punishment was not going to affect him because he won’t change for anybody. It should come as no surprise, then, that the shortstop celebrated his walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth on Fr...
Let's Remember Some Guys: Thurl Bailey's Eyewear And Other Fleer NBA Guys
In many of the moments in the Let’s Remember Some Guys videos in which I appear to be successfully remembering various guys, I am in fact remembering the basketball cards that I once had on which they appeared. There are some instances in which this is not the case, but many of these people played t...
Report: Pretty Much Everyone Is Sure Kevin Durant Is Heading To The Knicks
ESPN’s Ian Begley published a story today about the state of the New York Knicks on the eve of a potentially pivotal summer for the franchise. The Knicks, of course, spent last season as a big sad joke, and even though recent Knicks history has been a procession of failed seasons followed by disappo...
The Giants Were Extremely Horny For Daniel Jones
The Giants liked Daniel Jones. Obviously, because otherwise they wouldn’t have drafted him at No. 6, ahead of Josh Allen or Ed Oliver or Dwayne Haskins. But: they really liked him....

The Kansas City Chiefs announced last night that star wide receiver Tyreek Hill would be suspended indefinitely from all team activities.

The Spurs Will Always Be The Damn Spurs
Basketball fans of a certain age will remember a time not so long ago when the San Antonio Spurs were just as reviled for their steady greatness as they were respected for it. Around that time, the league kept producing pretty new things that seemed custom-built to capture the hearts and minds of th...
Magic Johnson Quit His Job So He Could Tweet More And He Seems Very Happy
In the event that you’re offered the job of running the Los Angeles Lakers, you would do well to consider the pros and cons. The salary is almost certainly better than what you currently earn—as you are reading this website, I am assuming that “you” are an attorney of some kind—and you get to live i...
