Charles Henderson High School basketball player and Rutgers recruit Maori Davenport can play in her team’s game tonight thanks to an emergency motion by a Pike County Circuit judge.

Let's Remember Some Guys: More 1990 Score Football Guys
It has been a while since last we at Let’s Remember Some Guys Remembered Some Guys, but that doesn’t mean that we’d forgotten. We haven’t forgotten any Guys, of course, at least beyond the attrition that comes with being alive and periodically having to do things other than Remembering Guys. But als...
The Thunder And Spurs Preview What The Second Half Has In Store For The Western Conference
If you missed Thursday night’s Thunder-Spurs game, you missed a doozy. It went to double overtime, and the teams combined for 301 total points, which made this the first 300-point NBA game since 2006. The superstar players were mostly fantastic, but there was enough time and room in the game for guy...
Truly Mike Malone Has A Bright Offensive Mind And Must Be Considered For All NFL Head Coaching Vacancies
All I’m saying is, if Kliff Kingsbury and Matt LeFleur* can be hired as NFL head coaches because they once worked with preternaturally gifted football passers, surely Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone at least deserves an interview. Let’s see Ryan Tannehill or Jared Goff top this one!...
High School Player Coolly Nails The Game-Winning Interception-Into-Buzzer-Beater
You will have to forgive this high school buzzer-beater for having taken place in the least dramatic setting, a dreary, overlit, too-large gym with clusters of fans spread over mostly empty bleachers. The play itself is very, very cool....
White Sox Sign Shitty Player
The Chicago White Sox did their part to keep the hot stove warm enough that you could put an oven mitt on it, then come back 10 minutes later to find it mildly toasty and perhaps worthy of being ranked as a warmth, by announcing the signing of shitty outfielder Jon Jay today....
Great, The Steelers Are Going To Do This Whole Shit Again With Antonio Brown
The Pittsburgh Steelers spent a significant portion of their 2018 season alienating running back Le’Veon Bell for wanting job security, then the players who were there argued with each other, and then they had to hope for the Browns to win in order to get into the playoffs. (The Browns did not win.)...
It's Now Even Harder For Former NFL Players To Prove They Have Dementia
PHILADELPHIA — In a ruling that will likely make it even more difficult for players with dementia claims to get paid under the terms of the NFL’s concussion settlement, a federal judge overseeing the settlement has given the NFL even more than it asked for and enforced a stricter diagnostic criteria...
SB Nation A's Blogger Let Go After Tweeting About Wanting Kyler Murray To Get "Critically Injured"
Last night, A’s fans got the bad news that the team’s most recent first-round pick, Heisman winner Kyler Murray, will likely be pursuing an NFL career instead of joining the Athletics’ minor league system. Many fans were bummed out by the news, though baseball writer Jen Rainwater of SB Nation’s A’s...
Report: Nick Young Stole Man's Phone And Hit Him In The Dick And Balls At A Car Wash
Nick Young’s lone NBA action this season was a four-game cup of coffee with the Nuggets. He scored nine points and got waived shortly before the new year, though it appears he’s still getting shots up....
Arizona High School Ref Fired For Asking If Basketball Team Had Their Green Cards
Tuesday’s freshman boys basketball game in Arizona between Walden Grove High School and Pueblo High School got off to a racist start when, before tipoff, an official asked Pueblo’s coach if his players had their green cards. You know, that charming little regional joke about how a predominantly His...
Several Wrong Ways To Say "Philadelphia Eagles"
There was always some risk involved, in retrospect. The balance of power on the Deadcast has always been tenuous in Drew’s absence, with Marchman’s powerfully Marchmanian energy in dynamic tension with my own pure and righteous handsomeness. Sometimes the guests have evened this out, and sometimes, ...
Brewers Improve Team Through Novel Strategy Of Spending Money On Talented Player
After a long, icy stretch in which the most noteworthy signing was probably Troy Tulowitzki, the hot stove finally flashed some sparks on Wednesday night, as the Milwaukee Brewers got out their checkbooks to pick up a top-notch free agent. Former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal is moving...
I Regret To Inform You That Stephen A. Smith Is In A Feud With The Arizona Cardinals
Stephen A. Smith is constantly whapping back and forth between the poles that make up his on-air persona: entertainer and dummy. At the latter, it can be really bad, like when he’s breaking down a matchup by citing three different players who are no longer with the team, or much more harmfully, lett...
Dallas Sportscaster Argues Coaches Of Color Are Not Getting A Fair Shot At NFL Head-Coaching Jobs<em></em>
Dallas sportscaster Dale Hansen has been known to deliver his opinions on topics surrounding the world of sports and beyond during late night segments for ABC affiliate WFAA.

The Bucks Just Provided The League With A Blueprint On Stopping James Harden And The Rockets
Like with any of the NBA’s elite players, teams can often extrapolate victories from limiting the damage a player is capable of doing in lieu of expecting to stop them entirely. This was the case in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 116-109 victory against the Rockets on Wednesday night. Not only was the team ab...
Don't Slap The Floor Against Luka Dončić<em></em>
Luka Dončić has very quickly gone from that player who puts up great stat lines in the face of losses, to that young star whose performances can inspire his team to victory. Most of that comes from his unique experience when compared to the other rookies in his class. His time playing in Europe has...
Jets Hire Adam Gase In Hopes Of Going 7-9<em></em>
The New York Jets’ head coaching search has reportedly come to an end with the selection of perhaps the most boring name on the market. Despite a list of potential candidates that included exciting assistants like Kansas City’s offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy or hotshot Cowboys d-backs coach Kri...
Dumb Little Pissbaby Trevor Bauer Got In Trouble And It's Going To Make Him So Mad He Can't Tweet About This Blog<em></em>
Less than three hours after tweeting “I’ve done nothing wrong,” Trevor Bauer sort of admitted it was wrong of him to harass a 21-year-old woman on Twitter for days and days....
