Duke Beat Florida State With A Wide-Open Game-Winner

Sergei Bobrovsky Sent Home By Blue Jackets After "Incident"
The Sergei Bobrovsky situation in Columbus has been a simmer, a slow-motion breakup.

He reportedly wants to be paid like the league’s elite netminders, and the Blue Jackets don’t seem...

Zion Williamson's Duke Is At Least Slightly Less Sanctimonious
Nick Richards had the right idea. After setting a screen on the right side of the arc, the Kentucky forward rolled toward the lane and found himself open as two defenders converged on ball-handler Keldon Johnson.

Zion Williamson Laughs And Hides His Face After Being Asked About Maybe Someday Joining The Knicks
The insanely overpowered Duke Blue Devils gave Texas Tech their first loss of the season Thursday night, at Madison Square Garden, in a refreshingly competitive 69–58 game. Among other things, this was humanoid megafauna Zion Williamson’s first career game at the home of the Knicks, and so of course...
Zion Williamson Bonked His Forehead On The Damn Backboard
We are used to Zion Williamson’s rare combination of dump truck size and comic book athleticism putting the opposition in grave danger, but this is maybe the first sign that young Zion can truly fuck himself up if he isn’t real careful out there:...
Blues Add Puppy To Practice So Hopefully Players Will Stop Fighting

More Than You Probably Wanted To Know About The Rules On A Puck Hitting A Ref's Dick And Balls
Just an excellent hockey highlight from Tuesday’s 4-3 Blues win over the Panthers, as St. Louis defenseman Robert Bortuzzo—fresh off of beating the hell out of a teammate in practice—tried to dump in a puck and ended up banking it off of referee Tim Peel’s biscuits, past goalie Roberto Luongo, and i...
Goal Disallowed After Puck Ricochets Off Unfortunate Referee's Dick And Balls

This is it, folks: The most exciting moment of the Blues’ season. It’s all downhill from here. (And, uh, was all downhill to get here. Don’t think about it too hard.)...
Zion Williamson Is Human
Zion Williamson had 18 and 12 and Duke won 84-54 on Wednesday night—which would have been impressive if they hadn’t been playing the Hartford Hawks (apparently a real college basketball team and not, like, a D-League franchise). As per usual, there were powerful, highlight-reel dunks from the Blue D...
Patrik Laine Pooped On The Blues
The Winnipeg Jets put an 8–4 beatdown on the St. Louis Blues Saturday night. I am told ... yes, my sources are confirming that the Blues are, in fact, crud, but that should not in any way detract from the performance of exemplary hockey man Patrik Laine, who spent the evening shredding the hell out ...

Zion Williamson Spent Veterans Day Disrespecting The Troops
Veterans Day is a holiday meant to honor the veterans of this nation’s armed forces and the sacrifices they make.
