If Pro Wrestling Is Art, Daniel Bryan Is His Generation's Master

Welcome back, Daniel Bryan....

ESPN Reporter Brian Windhorst Loves To Brag About Not Reporting 

Longtime basketball reporter Brian Windhorst is the subject of a profile in the New York Times today, in which he candidly talks about his career and his desire to be known as more than just the guy who has spent it following LeBron James around. He also brags about a time when he refused to report ...

The Wizards Are Like If A Sarlacc Took Up Residence Underneath A Burning, Flooded Carnival Outhouse, Per Reports

It’s all coming apart in Washington, and by “it” I mean a half-decade of trumped-up semi-relevance in which the team never seriously contended for anything more meaningful than supremacy in the NBA’s Southeast Division. Mutiny is at hand. Soon there will be cannibalism....

The Wizards Are No Longer A Basketball Team

If you have the stomach for it, pick a night when the Washington Wizards have a game at the same time as another game between pretty much any two other NBA teams, even really shitty ones like the Phoenix Suns or New York Knicks, and spend some time toggling back and forth between the two every few m...

This Shit Is Corny

You may have seen a quote from Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. going around this morning, about the New York Giants’ chances of winning the rest of their games and making the playoffs at 9-7. “Six games left, it’s really only crazy until you do it,” Beckham told reporters, as if he were in a ...

Report: Condoleezza Rice On Browns' Wish List To Interview For Head Coach [Update]

With the season likely lost, and Gregg Williams being far from the ideal candidate to lead a football team, the Browns have turned their attention to who their next head coach will be for next year. One of the names that the team has an interest in interviewing is former Secretary of State Condoleez...

Braves Prospect Appears To Break Foot After Hitting Walk-Off Homer In AFL Championship Game

Baseball season came to an end in Arizona on Saturday when Atlanta Braves prospect Braxton Davidson hit a walk-off homer to win MLB’s Arizona Fall League for the Peoria Javelinas over the Salt River Rafters. The homer came in the bottom of the tenth on a 2-1 count with the bases empty, and Davidson...

This is a couple of weeks old, but it’s endearing: A diehard Vancouver Grizzlies fan went on a mission to find the defunct team’s reclusive center Bryant “Big Country” Reeves. Unlike a lot of quests in this vein, she actually reached a satisfying resolution. That resolution at one point includes Big...

LeBron, It Is Time To Go Full Kratos

Look, there’s no need to belabor the point here. I have great respect for your basketball mind and your body of work. You just reeled off a 44-10-9 in fucking Year 16. But it really doesn’t need to be this way. Just hear me out on this....

LeBron James Is Here

Perhaps it’s a function of the fact that the Lakers started the season with some bad losses, or that he’s been banished to late-night television on the west coast, or that this clip exists, but before last night’s game between the Lakers and Blazers, it felt like LeBron James had yet to put any sort...

LeBron James Remembers How To Play Defense Long Enough To Put Nik Stauskas On The Floor<em></em>

LeBron James’s defense this season has been, let’s say, below average. The lowlights have ranged from letting Serge Ibaka blow by him, to missing his assignment entirely because he was too busy sticking his foot out while trying to stop a pass. It would have surprised no one if James had let Nik Sta...

Phil Kessel Gets Mad, Engages In Some Rough Hugging

Despite That Gruesome Ankle Injury, Caris LeVert Might Return This Season

Caris LeVert, who’d been enjoying a fantastic third season with the Nets, went down with a horrid ankle injury in last night’s loss to the Timberwolves. He was taken off the floor in a stretcher; his teammates were openly weeping. Today, an evaluation from team orthopedist Dr. Martin O’Malley held e...

Caris LeVert Taken Off On Stretcher After Seriously Fucking Up His Leg

Brooklyn Nets small forward Caris LeVert, the leading scorer on one of the sneaky-fun teams in the NBA this year, likely just saw his season come to an end. Tonight against the Timberwolves, LeVert really messed up his right ankle when he came down awkwardly while trying to block a shot at the very ...

NHL Won't Admit Liability, Will Pay Around $19 Million In Concussion Lawsuit Settlement

The NHL announced that a tentative settlement was reached today in the lawsuit initially brought against the league in 2013 by nearly 150 former players, who claimed the league had concealed the potential harm caused by head injuries while they played. The agreement, which can be read here, is estim...

Aaron Donald Took A Cheap Shot From Justin Britt Then Tried To Settle Things After The Game

Seahawks offensive lineman Justin Britt is listed at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, but Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald—five inches shorter and 35 pounds lighter—was not going to let his opponent’s late shot go unpunished in Sunday’s game....

Brook Lopez Is Keeping His Résumé Fresh, Learning New Skills, Banging Eight Threes

Brook Lopez entered the league as a smooth post operator with a reliable set shot, and it’s gotten him paid pretty well. A decade-old Jonathan Givony scouting report from Lopez’s days at Stanford now makes for quaint reading. It mopes for a paragraph, fretting about Lopez’s “formulaic” post moves fr...

Tyson Chandler's Buzzer-Beating Block Wins Game, LeBron's Love 

The Lakers’ newly acquired center Tyson Chandler once again won a game for the Lakers, this time by blocking Hawks rookie point guard Trae Young’s would-be game-winner at the buzzer, resulting in some epic windmill-style fist pumping and plenty of praise from LeBron James. ...

Tom Brady Gets Upstaged As A Receiver By An Opposing Quarterback, Again

Early in the fourth quarter of today’s Patriots-Titans game, New England ran a wide receiver passing play where Julian Edelman threw a six-yard pass to an open Tom Brady. While it wasn’t a repeat of the infamous Super Bowl blunder—Brady actually caught the ball—the New England quarterback showed tha...

Nick Chubb Ran All Over The Falcons For The Longest Play From Scrimmage Of The Season

The Browns are pummeling the Falcons defense this afternoon, and one of the main culprits has been Cleveland running back Nick Chubb. Having already caught a receiving touchdown earlier, Chubb added to the damage by running through a hole, making one man miss, and ripping off a 92-yard rush to the e...
