The Derek Chauvin verdict is what Colin Kaepernick was kneeling for
From the time Colin Kaepernick first sat, and later kneeled, during the National Anthem to when George Floyd’s murderer was found guilty on all counts, 1,698 days, 40,752 hours, and 2,445,120 minutes had passed. ...
Sterling Brown keeps getting assaulted, and it’s not OK
In many circles, Sterling Brown — the basketball player, not the actor — may be more well known for what’s happened to him off the court than anything he’s accomplished in the NBA, which is beyond unfortunate....
Just say you wanna f**k the Stanley Cup
Hockey’s hallow-fication of The Stanley Cup has been cartoonish for a while. It’s perhaps the pointy end of its #PleaseLikeMySport inferiority complex. “We play for a Cup while others play for a championship,” as if it wasn’t really the same fucking thing. ...

If Adrian Wojnarowski’s report is true — which is so often the case — then new Indiana head basketball coach Mike Woodson needs to fire his agent. Because he just got played....

Red-hot Steph Curry scores 30 again but Warriors lose
Stephen Curry has been on one lately, and that continued on Saturday night in Boston, where he scored 47 points, made 11 three-pointers, grabbed seven rebounds… and Golden State still fell back to .500 with a 119-114 loss to the Celtics, who got 44 points from Jayson Tatum....

Jadeveon Clowney is a great pickup for the surprisingly jacked Cleveland Browns
Shockingly, the Cleveland Browns aren’t Brownsing things up right now. Signing veteran edge rusher (and I use that term loosely) Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million is the latest in a trend of impressive and savvy moves by the Browns front office. That is, um. Different....
Taking a look at QB-heavy draft classes, and why the best isn't always the guy who goes highest
In a quarterback league, this year’s NFL Draft looks like one of the most quarterback-rich talent pools in history. We know that Trevor Lawrence will be the No. 1 pick for the Jaguars, and after him, it’s likely that the Jets and 49ers will select signal callers, making this the first draft with qua...
Russell Westbrook might be the best player who’s the worst for his team
Russell Westbrook is such a basketball enigma....
Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks did the thing
The main event of Wrestlemania has had a bit of a rough streak the past few years.

Well now LSU associate athletic director Sharon Lewis has filed a $50 million federal racketeering lawsuit against university officials for retaliating against her for reporting racist ...
Marcus Smart passing Larry Bird on all-time Celts’ 3-pointer list is a wake-up call
It’s not a revelation that the NBA today is heavier on three-pointers than it’s ever been. Teams are taking more threes per game than ever before — 34.7 per game, per team, and with good reason: at 36.7 percent, this season’s success rate is the highest of all time....
The Dallas Mavericks are officially ‘in the mix,’ which is good enough in this crazy season
Part of your initiation as a young NBA nucleus is getting your ass whooped in the playoffs. But last season, the Dallas Mavericks were robbed of what could’ve been....
