Holy Crap, You Can Finally See The Shape Of The Knicks' Future
Kristaps Porzingis just began his third season, and somehow it feels like we’ve waited a decade for him to have a competent point guard. This is a more Knicks-wide crisis, decades in the making, involving a procession of washed, deluded, or otherwise bleak names: Stephon Marbury, (old) Baron Davis,...

During Washington’s shocking win over the Seahawks in Seattle, Pete Carroll once again had a slant at the goal line blow up in his face. It was essentially a carbon copy of the play that lost Seattle the Super Bowl and turned Russell Wilson into a broken man:...
How Ben McAdoo Rallied The Giants At Halftime: “Um”
The Giants got rolled by the Rams 51-17. At halftime, the score was just 27-10. Not close, either, but in the realm of possibility that the Giants could catch up. ...
Cardinals-49ers Scuffle Prompts Official’s Glorious Hat Toss
During an especially heated Sunday for the NFL, one fight late in the Cardinals-49ers game ended with one of my personal favorite NFL sights: an official, out of flags, throwing his hat in the air in order to call an additional penalty....
Kirk Cousins And Josh Doctson Slide Their Way To A Win In Seattle

Chiefs Celebrate TD With Potato Sack Race
This week’s excellent, creative touchdown celebration that wouldn’t have been possible without the NFL’s recent acceptance of fun came courtesy of Kansas City.

Chiefs End The First Half With A 57-Yard Mini Hail Mary Touchdown
Alex Smith isn’t the type to throw deep bombs, even in Hail Mary situations, but at the end of the first half today against the Cowboys, the Chiefs QB found a way around that limitation.

T.Y. Hilton Fakes Being Down To Score A TD
In a great example of gamesmanship that falls just within ethical boundaries, T.Y. Hilton took a dive to avoid being tackled on a long third-quarter catch, and then decided it was best to take his time getting up. It was a great call, because by playing dead, Texans safety Andre Hal took him for a n...

May Andre Drummond's Recent Free Throw Success Never End
Andre Drummond, in his career, has been a hilariously bad free throw shooter.
