Westbrook joins Robertson atop triple doubles list, gives thanks to Big O
For more than half a century, Oscar Robertson stood alone in NBA history, his 1961-62 campaign representing the only time anyone averaged a triple-double for a full season....

A shoutout to memorable mom moments in sports history
None of the athletes we talk about would be where they are without their mothers, so to commemorate, here’s a list to honor some of the most memorable mom moments in sports history. It’s not necessarily a top 10, but a collection of highlights (and yes, one lowlight) to honor Mother’s Day 2021....

Nobody wants Albert Pujols — nor should they (sadly)
The White Sox will not be adding Albert Pujols to their lineup, Chicago manager Tony La Russa said on Friday....

Celtics and Heat are stepping into a trap
When you’re the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics, every game is a trap game for the rest of the season....

Richard Sherman wants to rekindle love affair with Seahawks after repeatedly backhanding them
Over the past ten years, cornerback Richard Sherman has been one of the league’s top defenders, when healthy. During his career, the former Stanford wide receiver has earned five Pro Bowl nods, three First Team All-Pro selections, and a Super Bowl ring. He’s also become known as one of the biggest t...

Anthony Davis got injured again, and it’s getting late early for the Lakers
The league leader in heading to the locker room during games has to be either Anthony Davis or Kristaps Porzingis....

Cody Rhodes needs to f*** off more than anyone has ever f***** off in the history of f****** off
I should start all this with some boulder-sized caveats. Cody Rhodes is responsible for something a lot of us wrestling fans never thought we’d see, and that’s a genuine alternative to WWE on regular TV. Cody basically started AEW on a bar bet. He also is responsible for me becoming aware of compani...

Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards gave us a glimpse into the future last night
It’s too early to call this a rivalry, but hopefully, it’ll become one. ...

Albert Pujols’ career wasn’t supposed to end like this
Albert Pujols’ lifetime numbers are utterly staggering. He has 667 home runs, that’s more than Willie Mays. 3,253 hits, more than all but 14 players, more than hitting machines like Rod Carew, Tony Gwynn and George Brett. More than some guy named Napoleon Lajoie, who played 120 fucking years ago and...

Don’t look now, but the Lions are quietly having an incredible offseason
The Lions are somehow a comedy and tragedy at the same time. They’re like the Forrest Gump of NFL teams, if Forrest Gump didn’t entertain anyone. Despite several very talented players throughout their history, the Lions have never won a Super Bowl let alone played in one. Hell, they’ve only won one ...

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp lives with his head in his ass
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has once again proven his stupidity knows no bounds....

Who got the best steals in the later rounds of the NFL Draft?
First-round players are great. We love them. They’re the highly-touted prospects that most fans heap entirely too much pressure on, with the fate of the franchise often falling on their shoulders. Teams are not strictly built in the first round, however. There were a number of rookies drafted in the...

The teams and matchups we most wanna see for the NBA’s Play-in Tournament
Contrary to what LeBron James says, the NBA Play-In Tournament was a great idea. Because of the strange circumstances the NBA found itself in after COVID-19 wrecked 2020, the league had an opportunity to try out some goofy new ideas to make up for the fact that the fans were only getting a 72-game s...

Caitlyn Jenner is a hypocritical trans athlete who wants to ‘build a wall’ — and isn’t preaching what she’s practiced
It’s funny how “forgetful” people can get. But that’s what’s so great about the Internet — it always remembers....

Baseball didn’t anticipate this odd rash of no-hitters, which there are more of than 'count' because 'rules'
John Means pitched this season’s third no-hitter on Wednesday afternoon in Seattle, except it was really the fourth, as Major League Baseball keeps finding out that whatever oddities are available to be achieved, someone eventually will achieve them....

Tony La Russa doesn’t know the rules and there’s no one to save him from himself, either
Is it bad when your manager doesn’t know the rules? If we try to be fair to Tony La Russa, this is the first season this ridiculous extra-innings rule was put in place with the NL not having a DH, and La Russa doesn’t manage an NL club....

What are the Giants doing here?
The baseball world was all gaga over the seven-game rumble the Padres and Dodgers put together in the season’s opening weeks. The part of the story that got lost and ignored is that they’re currently 2nd and 3rd place teams. It seems while they were eyeballing each other, the San Francisco Giants we...

Ja Morant should believe he’s a top-5 PG, even though he’s not
The amount of talent at point guard in the NBA right now is unprecedented. It seems like every team has a borderline All-Star bringing the ball up the court. Just think about it. How many guys in the league right now have earned an All-Star nod at the position? Eighteen. And that doesn’t include str...
