Masked Kyrie Irving Will Return To Wreak Destruction On The NBA
Get ready, NBA, for the return of Masked Kyrie Irving. No, I’m not referring to Uncle Drew, here. The errant Aron Baynes elbow that smashed into Irving’s face Friday and ended his night reportedly caused a facial fracture, and you know what that means:...
The Minnesota Timberwolves Are Up To Their Same Old Bullshit
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 7-5, and 4-1 at home, and 11th in the NBA in offense, with a pair of wins over the hot-shot Oklahoma City Thunder already on their résumé. That’s good! On the other hand they don’t seem, today, like a team that’s having a very good time, fresh off a loss to the Phoenix...
The Celtics Are Better Than They Have Any Damn Right To Be
Apparently the Celtics don’t even need players. Just Brad Stevens standing on the sideline, pointing his brain waves at the ball for 48 minutes. Last night they lost Kyrie Irving after teammate Aron Baynes elbowed him across the nose, fell behind by as many as 18 points, and came all the way back to...
Doug Baldwin: "Thursday Night Football Should Be Illegal"
Thursday night football continues to be largely trash, as the Seahawks lost cornerback Richard Sherman for the season with a ruptured Achilles during tonight’s 22-16 win over the Cardinals. Several Seattle players used their postgame comments to be candid about the current schedule format—including ...
Jerry Jones Is Not Fucking Around With His Attempt To Burn Roger Goodell On Contract Negotiations
Last time we checked in on this chapter of Jerry Jones vs. Roger Goodell, the commissioner was reportedly furious over the Dallas Cowboys owner’s efforts to undermine his contract negotiations by threatening to sue the league and fellow owners in order to stop them from re-upping Goodell. (This was ...
Brian Boyle Scores Emotional First Goal Since Leukemia Diagnosis
Center Brian Boyle got his New Jersey Devils a 1-0 lead with a goal early in the first period of tonight’s game against the Oilers. And it felt pretty damn good: because it ended a 29-game scoreless streak, sure, but chiefly because it was his first goal since being diagnosed with leukemia in Septem...
Robert Kraft Among Sports Team Owners Who Appear In The Paradise Papers
The offshore holdings of New England Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft, along with those of several other American sports owners, have been discovered in the Paradise Papers—the millions of leaked documents that detail the international financial data of some of the world’s largest corporations and wealt...
Boston Sports Radio Chud Apologizes For Idiotic Rant About Roy Halladay's Death
Boston-based Felger and Mazz co-host Michael Felger went for 11 minutes on Wednesday’s show mocking MLB pitcher Roy Halladay’s death and calling him a “moron,” which was a bizarre, stupid angle to take the day after a guy died. On today’s show, Felger issued an apology....

Federal Indictment Suggests Rick Pitino Knew Of And Participated In Bribery Of A Recruit
A federal indictment released yesterday against Adidas executives Jim Gatto and Merl Code and agent Christian Dawkins includes a key, previously undisclosed detail that may implicate fired Louisville coach Rick Pitino in the investigation into the bribery of NCAA basketball recruits....
The Bulls Clearly Like Bobby Portis More Than The Guy Whose Face He Broke
Bobby Portis returned this week from an eight-game suspension for concussing and breaking two bones in Nikola Mirotic’s face with a punch in a practice fight, and Portis was unexpectedly great: 21 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes coming off the bench. But it doesn’t take a very close between-th...
Kyrie Irving Dribbled The Lakers To Death
The young Los Angeles Lakers stayed surprisingly competitive with the Celtics through most of tonight’s game at the Garden, but Boston won out, 107-96, thanks in large part to Kyrie Irving. He wasn’t the team’s leader in any major statistical category, and he was an off-putting 0-for-7 from three, b...
Report: UF Wanted To Combat White Supremacist Rally With Tim Tebow<em></em>
The University of Florida tried to parry hateful dork Richard Spencer’s recent speaking appearance with a call for unity in the form of a video featuring famous alumni, according to emails obtained by the Huffington Post. The most obvious choice would have been perpetually humbled and blessed quarte...
Boston Sports Radio Chud Goes On Long Rant About How Roy Halladay Deserved To Die
On today’s broadcast of Boston sports radio show Felger and Mazz, co-host Michael Felger went on a long and genuinely astonishing rant about the recent death of former MLB pitcher Roy Halladay. Felger’s central point, which he reiterates with his obnoxious braying for about 10 minutes, is that Halla...
The Stupid UConn-UCF Rivalry Trophy Is Nowhere To Be Found
College football loves to justify the existence of otherwise mundane conference games by adding in a musket or hog’s snout or some other performatively folksy bauble that tries to mask over the bloodless, production-line feel of the entire industry. None was more shameless than the Civil ConFLiCT t...
Kyrie Irving Roasts Some Hawks On A Spit
Kyrie Irving, who is steadily descending into the depths of Fake Deepness, is still one of the most beautiful things to behold on a basketball court. Here are some good camera angles; you’ll need to watch everything twice to have even a vague sense of what happened....
