Miguel Cabrera Hits Dong, Fan Celebrates By Picking Friend Up By His Salami
Miguel Cabrera is on one right now. He’s hit five dingers in his last 13 at-bats, including a pair off poor Vincent Velasquez tonight, who gave up four longballs in four innings pitched. Cabrera went opposite field in the first inning, then inspired a rather friendly celebration with his second home...
Why Dahntay Jones's Unpaid Suspension Is Only Worth $80
The NBA suspended Dahntay Jones one game “without pay” for whacking Bismack Biyombo in the groin late in Game 3, and while the Cavs might miss the 1.9 minutes per game they’ve gotten from Jones (unlikely), Jones won’t actually miss his game check all that much....
Draymond Green And Russell Westbrook Are Beefin' Now
It’s fallout day from the nutkicking heard ‘round the world, Draymond Green’s second such assault on Steven Adams’s dick and balls in as many games. And as everyone patiently awaits word on potential discipline—a one-game suspension seems certain, unless the NBA cares more about protecting its stars...
Russ And KD Are Running Things Now
Yes, for sure, the Oklahoma City Thunder made tactical adjustments that helped them in Game 3. They went small early, with Andre Roberson at power forward, rather than going huge, as they had in the first two games; they used Roberson as a screener instead of parking him in the corner where the Warr...
Don't Watch This Video If You Happen To Be David Blatt
Are you David Blatt? The guy who coached the Cleveland Cavaliers all the way to the NBA finals last season, but still managed to lose your job after it became apparent that your star players basically saw you as Droopy Dog? Don’t watch this clip from the Cavaliers’ locker room after Game 2 of the Ea...
LeBron James Is Well And Truly On One Right Now
The Cavs beat the Raptors 108-89 tonight and they’ve now won their first 10 games of the playoffs in a row. The Raptors were in it deep into the second quarter, until the Cavs ripped off a 16-2 run and then they weren’t in it. The 10-game watermark serves as a referendum on both the sickly state of ...
LeBron James Returns To The Scene Of The Crime
Not content with a single rim murder this week, LeBron James tracked down the replacement and jammed it perhaps even more emphatically. Reports indicate that Richard Jefferson planned to serve as an accomplice but got rebuked strongly by James....
LeBron James Murders Rim
This evening, an innocent (maybe) basketball ring in Cleveland, Ohio was murdered by LeBron James, after he turned DeMarre Carroll into a garden statue and churned into the lane alone....
Refs Missed Russell Westbrook's Travel At The End Of Game 1
Did Russell Westbrook travel in the waning seconds of last night’s Thunder Game 1 win? Yeah, totally. Does that ever get called, let alone late in a playoff game? Ehhh....
The Thunder Aren’t Scared Of The Warriors
As Steph Curry hit a buzzer-beater to end the first half and cap off a run by Golden State’s fabled smallball lineup of death, it felt like the Warriors were bound to keep burning the Thunder and run away with Game 1, much like the Spurs did to them to open that series. When Curry hit two improbable...
Tiger Woods Attempts To Prove He Isn't Dead; Fails
Tiger Woods declined to provide a timetable for his return during a press conference today in Maryland, stating that he has yet to even take any full shots since his back surgery in March. And yet the PGA pro tried to take a few attempts at Congressional’s tenth tee to prove that, yes, he’ll be back...
Lacrosse Player Named Brodie Ties Game With 80-Yard Hail Mary
With 3.3 seconds left in Saturday’s game, Brodie Merrill of the Boston Cannons flung a Hail Mary that found its way into the back of the net and forced overtime against the Rochester Rattlers....
Watch Steph Curry Ruin Defenders' Lives For Eight Minutes
To celebrate Steph Curry’s second MVP award, the NBA pulled together the best highlights of his career. The compilation has some nifty gems from when the Golden State Warriors were sad and middling, but my favorite has to be Curry in a painfully obvious mismatch against Tyler Hansbrough when he was ...
A Russell Westbrook Rebound Is An Event
If you watch enough sports, you learn to anticipate when something cool is about to happen. You know what’s coming after Steph Curry spins his defender with a bouncing crossover beyond the three-point line, or when Adrian Peterson gets a safety one-on-one in the open field, or when Chris Sale works ...
Somehow, The Thunder Are A Game Away From Bouncing The Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs had a historically great regular season, whipped the life out of the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, but somehow they’re just one game from elimination after the Thunder beat them 95-91 thanks to a rugged performance from Russell Westbrook ...
The Thunder Need Kevin Durant To Hulk Out
The story of yesterday’s Game 4 between the Spurs and Thunder is obviously Kevin Durant, who led the Thunder to victory with 41 points and outscored San Antonio 17-16 in the fourth quarter. But just as important as all the shots Durant made were all the shots Russell Westbrook didn’t take....

NYC Subway Now Overcrowded And Soon, Less Functional
The privilege of getting somewhere quickly and relatively inexpensively has been offset by the price of being wedged between strangers with nothing inanimate to hold onto as the train lurches ahead. New York City subway usage, at 1.763 billion rides last year, has hit its highest point since 1948. I...
Everybody Is In Big Trouble If LeBron Finds His Jumper
There’s not much the Atlanta Hawks can say about the record-setting three-pocalypse the Cavs laid on them last night. Sometimes the ball just won’t stop going in the hoop, and all you can do is turn your palms up, shrug, and move on. What should concern the Hawks, and the rest of the remaining playo...
