NFL Says Titans And Browns Can Play In Their Cleats For A Cause In Week 14 [Update]
The Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns were the only two NFL teams with byes this week, which meant that their players weren’t able to wear their customized cleats for the league’s “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign for Week 13. They won’t be able to participate next week, either....
The NFL Lets Players Be Creative Only When It Makes The League Look Good<em></em>
The NFL, the gracious institution that it is, relaxed its strict uniform code for Week 13 and permitted players to wear customized cleats during their games to support their preferred causes. This is because the league figured out how to control and benefit from their employees’ creativity on its te...
Antonio Brown: "It's My New Name, Ronald... It's Top Secret. From Now On, Address Me As Ronald."
Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers leads the NFL in receptions and now, apparently, in identity crises. Some questions and non-answers from a conversation with reporters yesterday, as captured by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:...
The Clippers, Who Appear To Be Legit, Owned The Cavaliers
How many legitimate contenders are there to win the NBA title? Before the season, the almost universally agreed upon answer was two. The Warriors breezed through everyone in the Western Conference last season except the Thunder, whose best player they lured away this summer. The Cavaliers play in th...
Russell Westbrook On Rebounding Prowess: "I Just Be Chilling There, Act Like I'm Not Doing Nothing"
Russell Westbrook can go from stationary to licking the backboard in the span of one or two nonchalant steps. He’s just standing there, and then something unseen explodes, and the ball’s in his clutches. Aside from making him, at 6-foot-3, one of the best rebounding guards of all time, this tireless...
It's Always Nice To Get Another Peek At LeBron James's Genius
The “LeBron as cyborg” trope may get old with repetition, but it’s also just ... true? It is true. We’ve been presented with more evidence that he is a post-human basketball genius than otherwise. And while it’s hard to add anything truly novel to the conversation about James, it does happen occasio...
Russell Westbrook Is Averaging A Triple-Double Later Into A Season Than Anyone Since Oscar Robertson
You can have your unexpected breakthroughs, and your schadenfreude-inspiring disappointments, but for my money there isn’t anything better in sports than when a player becomes laden with viciously unrealistic expectations—and exceeds them. With Kevin Durant gone and Oklahoma City lacking an identity...
The March To 0-16: Hue Jackson Is Sad
It is incredibly difficult to go winless in the NFL, and yet, I think the Browns have it in them....
LeBron James Blocks Layup With His Presence
I’m putting the full highlight reel from LeBron James’s 26-10-13 beatdown of the Sixers in this post, because maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve taken a few minutes to really enjoy a set of vintage LeBron James highlights. If you want to see a few bulldozing drives to the rim, some adept and punish...
Half The Chiefs Had No Idea They Won
I very much enjoy this photo, taken just as Cairo Santos banked in the 34-yard, game-winning field goal off the left upright, because no one’s really sure if it was good or not. The reactions run the gamut, from No. 76's Laurent Duvernay-Tardif’s two-fingered exultation, to Santos’s uncertainty, to ...
KC Wins In Overtime On Bank-Shot Field Goal As Time Expires
A Kansas City-Denver game that looked to be another primetime stinker proved a thriller in the end as the Chiefs won on Cairo Santos’s field goal that ricocheted off one upright and in as overtime expired....
Janoris Jenkins To Terrelle Pryor: "U Really Sucks"
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor felt a little miffed after he saw (some of) New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins’s comments on him this week, which added a little animosity to today’s game. The Giants won 27-13, dropping the Browns to 0-12, and Jenkins followed up with a little m...
Federal Judge Rejects Chess Federation's Sicilian Defense, Allows Media To Report World Championship Moves<em></em>
I’ve watched most of the World Chess Championships without ever actually witnessing Magnus Carlsen or Sergey Karjakin make a single move. As fun as it would be to watch the two grandmasters squirm and fret while contemplating their moves, you only need to know where each player’s pieces are to follo...
Antonio Brown Was Just About Perfect
There’s no such thing as a “perfect game” for a wide receiver, but if such a thing did exist, Antonio Brown came very close to pitching one last night....

Steve Smith Doesn't Give A "Flying Fuck" About Rookies Who Hate Him
Steve Smith has now successfully gotten under the skin of two rookie cornerbacks. He riled up the Jaguars’ Jalen Ramsey so thoroughly during their Week 3 matchup that Ramsey went on an anti-Smith rant after the game. This past Sunday, Smith talked so much shit to the Cowboys’ Anthony Brown that the ...
J.T. Brown Fights Ryan Ellis, Gets Heckled, Punches Heckler's Phone
J.T. Brown is here to fight, man. After getting blindsided to the ice by Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis, Brown rolled over on top of him and started pummeling him like he was finishing up an MMA knockout. Both men were sent to the penalty box to sit out the dregs of the Predators’ blowout win over ...
Browns Charge Job-Seekers Up To $105 To Enter Useless "Career Fair"<em></em>
The Cleveland Browns hosted a career fair last weekend that, in keeping with the Browns’ reputation, did not actually offer many jobs, and left multiple paid attendees feeling cheated....
Brock Osweiler Said Laser Pointer From Stands Affected His Play
It was like a freaking Laser Floyd show in Mexico City last night, with someone in the pro-Raiders crowd shining a big-ass green laser pointer at Brock Osweiler in an attempt to distract the Texans’ QB in Houston’s2 7-20 loss. It worked: Osweiler called it “very distracting” and said it “certainly a...
