Bogut, who left the NBA when the Lakers waived him last February, has been playing professionally in Australia since Apr...

The NFL Combine Is The Super Bowl Of Idiot Questions
The NFL Combine: Where large men run fast, where hands are breathlessly measured to an eighth of an inch, and where everyone involved is haunted by a tiny voice insisting that the whole thing is a big waste of time, that future athletic success can’t be quantified with a stopwatch or measuring tape ...

New York Man Tried To Fake His Own Abduction To Avoid Super Bowl Payouts

Bojan Bogdanovic Is The Reason The Pacers Are Surviving
February consolidated power in the Eastern Conference. There’s still plenty of dreck down low, but after that trade deadline, it’s getting a little frothy up top. The Bucks acquired another flamethrower in Nikola Mirotic, the Raptors added large hirsute playmaker Marc Gasol, the Sixers rounded out t...

Old Man Thabo Sefolosha Is The Latest Secret Weapon In Utah's Weird Arsenal
The Utah Jazz ran out to a big lead over the Nuggets Thursday night, then held on for dear life during a late Denver surge and escaped with a 111–104 victory. A win over the Nuggets is a good win; a win over the Nuggets in Denver is, these days, almost unheard of. The Jazz did it while missing Ricky...

An MLB Strike Threat Might Be The Players’ Only Leverage
There hasn’t been a strike in Major League Baseball for nearly 25 years. Not coincidentally, MLB’s owners and front offices are at this moment in arguably the strongest position they’ve occupied since before the Major League Baseball Players Association existed. They’re using it to implode free agen...

Maybe Brad Stevens Isn't Quite Up To <i>This</i>
“We’re just not together. Plain and simple.” That’s Boston’s Marcus Smart, in the aftermath of the 118-95 ass-whomping his Celtics received at the hands of Pascal Siakam and the Toronto Raptors last night. By my informal count, this is something like the 917th time in this disappointing Boston seaso...

Pascal Siakam Punked Kyrie Irving And The Celtics
By now, Raptors wing Pascal Siakam is no longer a shock. Sure, the 24-year-old dropping 44 on Washington a couple of weeks ago was surprising, but no one is doubting that Siakam is solidly one of the best basketball players in the Eastern Conference. Perhaps the only unknown quantity in Siakam’s gam...

Evander Kane Fought Zdeno Chara And It Went About How You'd Expect
Evander Kane is not a small man, despite what the video looks like. He’s listed at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds. He’s also not an inexperienced fighter, nor often overmatched. It’s a matter of perspective, as it always is when someone’s trying and failing to punch Zdeno Chara....
