Jose Bautista Did A Reddit AMA And It Was Mostly Boring, Until He Was Asked About His Favorite TV Show
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder and feared power hitter Jose Bautista did a Reddit AMA as part of a marketing campaign for some baseball video game earlier today that was, for the most part, thoroughly unremarkable....
Report From The Future: Colby Rasmus Says His Quotes About John Farrell Were Taken Out Of Context
We can probably start a countdown because this will likely be walked back shortly. That's usually what happens when a quote starts "I'm not trying to bash anybody by starting up crap..." and does not end in a period. It's the "but" that gets you....
A Performance Of The Ages
On Saturday, No. 3 Duke beat No. 5 Miami 79-76 in a revenge match for Hurricanes' January throttling—"they even slapp[ed] the floor in an apparent jab at the Blue Devils' tradition"!—and as Coach K. said, it was our privilege....
17 Sports Moments That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity
It's been a rough week in the sports world for those of us who put faith in our fellow man and woman. From NASCAR drivers' alleged bigotry, to NFL execs wanting to know if Manti Te'o is gay, to a youth hockey coach being sentenced for tripping a little kid, it's tough to look at the sports world ...
Actually, Duke Had No Problems Getting Off The Court In Virginia Last Night
Virginia fans stormed the court in Charlottesville last night, after the unranked Cavaliers defeated No. 3 Duke, 73-68, and Mike Krzyzewski was a bit rankled by the lack of protection for his team. He reportedly "hollered an F-bomb at a fan" and later suggested that he and his team hadn't been pro...
Coach K Hates Fun And Games
A wonderful thing happened in Charlottesville, Va., last night: the Virginia Cavaliers defeated No. 3 Duke, 73-68. Duke losses are always something we, united in our reasonable hatred of the Blue Devils, can collectively appreciate; that this one came against an unranked bubble team playing on it...
Former Duke Center Brian Zoubek Closes His Cream Puff Shop, Leaves A Sad Note On The Door
Remember when Brian Zoubek opened a cream puff shop in New Jersey and named it Dream Puffz? It was super adorable because Zoubek said things like, "I love to make cream puffs," and ""I'm just a fat kid, at heart." But now, sadly, Zoubek's dream of owning a cream puff shop has come to an end. Dream ...
Mark Buehrle Will Leave His Family Behind Because His Dog Is Banned In Toronto
New Blue Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle loves his puppies, American Staffordshire terrier Slater, and Vizslas Drake, Duke and Diesel. But Toronto doesn't love Slater. Ontario has a ban on pit bulls and related breeds, so Slater—big slobbery baby that he is—isn't allowed in the province. So rather than le...
Maryland Scores Stunning Upset: Makes Mike Krzyzewski Sound Reasonable
Maryland upset Duke yesterday 83-81 and the students rushed the court after Quinn Cook's desperation half-court shot clanged off the rim. It was a good game made great by the history between the two schools thanks to conference affiliation. Both Maryland and Duke were charter members of the ACC when...
Sparkler-Brandishing Man Leads "Fuck Duke" Chant
There is something about this video that is just...pleasing. I can't tell if it's the unedited, found-footage peek-into-life-as-it-occurs vibe, the contrast of light triumphant over dark or something else....
Someone Impaled The Duke Mascot's Head On A Stake Above UNC's Campus Store
Duke hosts North Carolina tonight—right now, in fact—and the Cameron Crazies had a bit of a scare this morning. Some Tobacco Road charlatans stole the Duke mascot's head (maybe more?) and stuck it on a stake above the Chapel Hill bookstore....
Joe Buck Calls A Hockey Game (Sort Of)
St. Louis's favorite son, Joe Buck, was on hand for Blues-Kings last night and the St. Louis booth of Darren Pang and John Kelly invited Joe inside for some lively banter and a surprise play-by-play turn. Buck admittedly has no idea who any of the Kings are—to be fair to Joe, neither does Los Angel...
Should You Storm The Court? An All-Purpose Guide
Four of the top five teams in college hoops lost on the road this week. When that happens, students storm courts. Illinois hits a last-second bunny to break a tie with No. 1 Indiana? That's a stormin'. TCU, heretofore winless in the Big 12, never trailed on the way to embarrassing No. 5 Kansas? That...
Some Duke Fans Chanted "How's Your Grandma?" At A Player Whose Grandma Just Died
There was some world-class jagoffery going on in the Duke student section during last night's N.C. State-Duke game. In the second half, N.C. State guard Tyler Lewis stepped to the free-throw line and was reportedly greeted by a chant of, "How's your grandma?" from the Cameron Crazies. Lewis's gran...
Duke Fan Writes Unbearably Condescending Letter After Being Harassed At Duke-Miami Game
This letter, written for the Duke Chronicle by a former Duke undergraduate and current Miami graduate student about her experience at the Duke-Miami game, is a perfect storm of insufferable behavior....
Kari Lehtonen Made The Best Save Of This Young NHL Season
It shouldn't have come to this. Dallas's Kari Lehtonen should never have had to make this spinning, behind-the-back swipe that kept the Stars-Blue Jackets game scoreless. Even screened by Nick Foligno, Lehtonen will probably be the first to tell you he should have gloved the puck, or knocked it do...
Former Duke Center Brian Zoubek Owns And Operates A Cream Puff Store Called "Dream Puffz"
I think the headline is pretty self-explanatory, but here you go:...

Here's A Photo Of Dick Vitale And The Schwab Out Clubbing In South Beach [UPDATED]
The reader who sent this to us (click to enlarge) said it was taken at the Fontainebleau in Miami, sometime Wednesday night, sometime after Dickie V.'s Dookies got thumped by the Hurricanes. We haven't been able to verify any of that, but we think the image speaks for itself. [Update (7:10 p.m.): Th...
Ryan Leaf Is In Jail Again, Again, Again
Ryan Leaf, who used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders, was in a drug rehab center after pleading guilty to breaking into houses to steal prescription painkillers. He's not in rehab any longer....
N.C. State Upset Duke Yesterday On The Strength Of This <i>Braveheart</i>-Inspired Speech (Probably)
I'll be honest, I watched this thinking it would be stupid and boring and not worth watching. But you know what? It's kind of fun. And let's be honest, these guys are the red-headed stepchildren of Carolina, they deserve a little moment in the sun. So here's a little Braveheart-themed pep rally be...
