To Avoid Criticism, Shabazz Muhammad Must Collapse With Joy When His Team Wins
Shabazz Muhammad is proving a good canary in the coal mine for figuring out if we've dispensed with the superstar-athlete-doesn't-care-about-team-play concern trolling as we've grown more sophisticated about the complexity of the NCAA and the intellectual laziness of humping tired sports cliches. We...
Watch Wisconsin's Ben Brust Hit A Half-Court Buzzer Beater To Get The Badgers Into Overtime In Their Win Over Michigan
Wheeee! (Is it just us, or does the P.A announcer literally say "Wheeeee" after the shot?) That's Ben Brust of Wisconsin hitting one of his four threes on the day, and getting Wisconsin into an overtime against #3-ranked Michigan. Well, formerly #3-ranked Michigan.

The Second Weird Baseball Injury Of 2013: Red Sox Prospect Bryce Brentz Shot Himself In The Leg
How hard are guns to clean, really? "Man shot in leg while cleaning gun," "Man shoots self while cleaning gun," "SAPD: Man shoots self while cleaning gun," "Florida Man Shoots Himself In Crotch With Flare Gun." (The guy with the flare gun wasn't cleaning it—but the story does note that this Septembe...

LeBron James, who is leading the league in PER, plays in a league of two with Kevin Durant when it comes to estimated wins added, and is shooting 56% from the floor, took some time out from walloping the Clippers last night (without Ray Allen or Chris Bosh) to play catch with a fan....

Yesterday's installment of Dan Le Batard's ESPN podcast featured a segment in which Le Batard is joined by Wizards guard Jordan Crawford.

What One Writer Learned At Bleacher Report University
Nick Bond, writing for our friends at The Classical, recently went through the training program at Bleacher Report, a sort of orc pit out of which all B/R writers must climb before they write for the site. Bond's entire piece is well worth your time, but the best artifact is this horrifying paragra...
Rangers Rinkside Reporter Takes A Puck To The Face
John Giannone is the man between the benches on MSG, and with time winding down in the second period, the puck found him. He cut open the bridge of his nose, which led to what I believe is a first: a reporter doing a live shot as his own blood pours down his face and into his mouth. He's a hockey ...
Brand New Star, Same Old Crap. <em>Identity Thief</em>, Reviewed.
Everybody is happy for Melissa McCarthy. After years on TV shows (Gilmore Girls, Mike & Molly) and small parts in movies (she's great in John August's The Nines), she broke through with Bridesmaids, getting an Oscar nomination in the process.

Gruesome story out of Turkey: A 24-year-old woman was beheaded today at a go-kart track in Adapazarı, about two hours east of Istanbul, when the cart she was riding in crashed into a safety barrier. According to witnesses, the woman's seat belt cut off her head during the crash's impact:...
Map: Which Parts Of The Country Were Calling Ray Lewis A Murderer During The Super Bowl?
The map above shows the concentration of geolocated tweets sent during the Super Bowl that contained both the words "Lewis" and "murder."

Canadiens Goalie Carey Price Takes Hockey Puck To The Nuts
Sure you could characterize it as Carey Price enduring "a wrist shot right...in the...middle...of the net" but we all know better. The immediate doubling over is a tell-tale sign of a nut shot....
Kobe Doin' Young Kobe
This was the moment at the Barclays Center last night that the entire upper deck—populated by significantly more Lakers than Nets fans, already—erupted in united awe. My friend leaned into a stranger, hand on his head, and the guy next to me yelled out the universal cry that stands for holy-shit-d...
Big Rugby Brawl Will Leave You Wanting More
Take a look at this fight, during a World Cup qualifier between Georgia (in white) and Belgium. It's pretty good—I guess. The newspapers are throwing all kinds of adjectives at it: "giant," "massive," "fiery." So why does the actual brawl disappoint?...
<em>Charles Swan</em> Will Make You Hate Charlie Sheen All Over Again
It always struck me as so strange that Oliver Stone, when he was making his name with Platoon and Wall Street, saw Charlie Sheen as his ideal everyman, the audience representative, the proxy, the innocent surrounded by the rot and corruption Stone sees around every corner. Even then, before the drug...
