So Maybe Dan Le Batard Wasn't The Guy Who Snubbed LeBron For MVP [Post Corrected]
UPDATE: OK, it appears we screwed up and jumped the gun. Dan Le Batard has yet to confirm or deny what player he voted for regular season MVP, or whether or not he even had a vote. We've just gotten word that he didn't vote for Anthony, and we sent Le Batard an email for comment, so let's see what h...
Boston Bruins Honor Marathon Bombing Victim Before Game 2
Last you saw Jeff Bauman, he was mangled, with a complexion reminiscent of Beetlejuice. Pushing Bauman's stretcher was a man in a cowboy hat who had shredded a sweater to make tourniquets for what remained of Bauman's legs....
LeBron's Fourth MVP Is Pushing Him Into Ludicrous Territory
Reports are swarming that LeBron James will be named the NBA’s MVP for the fourth time in the past five seasons. Somehow this makes Derrick Rose’s 2011 MVP — the only blemish in that stretch for LeBron — seem all the more impressive, if all the more anomalous. Only four other players (Kareem Abdul-J...
Kobe Bryant Is Getting Sued By His Mom, Kind Of
Earlier this week, GoldinAuctions.com teased an auction that it will be holding in June. What's for sale? Lots of stuff from Kobe Bryant's high school playing days, including game-worn jerseys, plaques, and championship rings. At least, those are the things the site planned on auctioning off, until ...

Brittney Griner Signs With A Chinese Team Because It Pays A Lot More
Brittney Griner, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, has signed with Chinese team Zhejiang, for whom she'll play during the WNBA offseason. This happened days ago and Chinese media is all over it, yet there's not been a single major American outlet reporting it. Why? The fact that her Chinese team wil...
The Bulls Are A Wonderful Wreck Right Now
The Bulls lost 95-92 on their home floor last night, but it was a loss that they should not be ashamed of. In fact, they should be proud of themselves simply for being able to field a competent starting lineup, because this team is an absolute mess....
Gerald Wallace Badly Misses Uncontested Layup
Actually, if you're keeping score at home, Wallace has a possession for the ages here: He misses a jumper, fails to use the backboard as he misfires on the bunny, and then he gets whistled for a travel because he caught his own airball. This clip belongs in Springfield....
Sad Tebow In A Parking Lot Is The New Tebowing
We're not sure when this photo was taken, since the Denver Post just posted it to Facebook. You know what to do, Internet. ...
Kevin Durant Finds That Life Without Russell Westbrook Isn't Much Fun
Comebacks from a 3-0 deficit have been done in hockey, and in baseball, but never in the NBA. It makes sense; those first two sports put an inordinate amount of weight on one person, a goaltender or a pitcher. But basketball is ostensibly the same starting five every night—except when it's not. Hous...
Why ESPN's Chris Broussard Came Out As A Bigot
Outside the Lines is supposed to be the safe haven from all the bullshit. Bob Ley likes to call the show the Switzerland of ESPN. It's the thinking man's sports program—Bristol's answer to NewsHour. Sonorous reporters intoning Serious News. An air of calm, cool reflection about the issues of the day...

UWGB Hoops Coach Brian Wardle Will Make You Run Until You Poop
It takes a special kind of asshole coach to make you run hills until you vomit. But it takes an even MORE special kind of asshole coach to make you run hills until you shit your pants and then mock you all season long for shitting your pants. That's the accusation leveled against UW-Green Bay men's ...
Mama Says...
Here's more from Peter Richmond, on Larry Johnson and homophobia:...
Tim Hudson Has More Home Runs Off Bryce Harper Than Vice Versa
Braves pitcher Tim Hudson came into tonight's game against the Nationals with two career home runs. Young Washington superstar Bryce Harper? 31. None of those were off Hudson, though, which puts the legendary Atlanta hurler one up on the Nats' wunderkind after this bizarre play....
<em>Of Course</em> Bryce Harper Is In Favor Of The Wave
This season, an anti-wave movement has taken a foothold in the stands at Washington Nationals games. According to DC Sports Bog, The anti-wavers scored a victory at Saturday's game, but today brings a victory for the pro-wavers, who now have the support of Nats star Bryce Harper....
The New York Islanders May Be Rebranding, Because Brooklyn
The Islanders will soon be calling Brooklyn's Barclays Center their home, and the geographical change may also be accompanied by an aesthetic one. Sources tell the New York Post that the team's sports marketing team is weighing the adoption of a new color scheme, and that they are already showing pr...
