Why The Deal To Keep The Kings In Sacramento May Be Collapsing
"Elation now" crowed the Sacramento Bee when the Maloof Brothers, David Stern, and Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson emerged from lockdown negotations with a plan to build a new arena and keep the Kings from moving to Anaheim. The plan was a good one, as far as publically funded stadiums go: the team a...
<em>Slap Shot</em>: The Only Honest Sports Movie
From the very first scene of Slap Shot, the classic hockey film makes its stance clear: The way everybody talks about sports is bullshit. Denis Lemieux, the befuddled language-challenged Charlestown Chiefs goalie, is on television talking to broadcaster Jim Carr, who is trying to get fans to bring t...
Trent Richardson Smash!
Pro days are serious business. With fewer players taking part in the Combine, whether due to injury or the founded fear that performing can only hurt their draft stock, the highly controlled pro day has become the showcase of choice for the top prospects. This is bad news for the NFL Network, and ...

Larry Brown Interested In Job
For the 13th time in the last 40 years, Larry Brown is between head coaching jobs. He's been unemployed since he left the Charlotte Bobcats in December 2010, after a 9-19 start.

Tripping Basketballs: Hoopsters Are Alive And Well At The Ultra Music Festival
While we declared the end to the Hoopster trend a year and a half ago, the Hoopsters show no signs of quitting—certainly not at this past weekend's Ultra music fest in Miami. For the uninitiated, Ultra is the social event for college kids who love Ecstasy and sort of like electronic music. Here are...
Andrew Bynum's Mini-Mutiny Included Trying A Three, Pouting
There has to be some reason why Andrew Bynum thought it would be a good idea to chuck up a three-pointer with plenty of time on the shot clock in a close game against Golden State. These are the Lakers, and they spend more time sending each other passive-aggressive messages than actually playing b...
In Which LeBron James Dons A Rick James Wig While Singing "Super Freak"
At least that's what Heat owner Micky Arison would have you believe. Whatever LBJ is doing here, it's in the name of charity, as teammate Shane Battier's annual Battioke extravaganza was held tonight in South Beach. Also slated to perform were such legendary musical acts as former Knicks head coach ...
LeBron Dislocates Ring Finger
James injured his left ring finger during last night's loss to Indiana. The team isn't talking, but one report says it could be dislocated. This is your cue to make bad jokes. [ESPN]...
How The Broncos Got Peyton Manning
It came down to Arizona, Tennessee and Denver. Those three teams, sans Miami, that everyone expected to be on Peyton Manning's radar were the three finalists in Manning's search for a new team. Manning wanted a chance to win, but more than that, he wanted to go where he would have friends. Ken Whise...
The Brooklyn Dodgers Did Not Mind If You Photographed Their Pubes And Asses
At least for the A's and Mariners in Tokyo, Opening Day is early Wednesday morning. With the return of baseball comes the return of casual nudity, an inescapable fact of locker rooms since the days before the West Coast had teams....
The Broncos Took A Smaller Trade Haul Just To Make Tim Tebow Happy
We learned two things about Tim Tebow and Jacksonville today. First, that he pronounces his hometown team's name "Jagwires," and second, that it's absolutely true the Broncos let him choose his destination. He chose the Jets, and the Broncos shipped him to Jersey, despite the Jaguars offering a bett...
Rugby Player Suffers Gruesome Ankle Injury (NSFL)
This video comes from the National Rugby League in Australia and it is an absolute mess. Jharal Yow Yeh (in yellow and maroon) plays (played?) for the Brisbane Broncos and suffered a nasty compound fracture against the South Sydney Rabbitohs. That is bone sticking out. You've been warned....
Abandon Your Prejudices: LeBron James And The Heat Wear Hoodies For Trayvon Martin
LeBron James sent out the above photo on Twitter today, hashtagged "#WeAreTrayvonMartin #Hoodies #Stereotyped #WeWantJustice." (The Miami Herald described the image as "capturing the collective sorrow of so many," which rather misses the point.)...
Hey, A Jets Quarterback Controversy! Who Would've Thought?
There is no quarterback controversy, Mike Tannenbaum insisted yesterday. But here's one anyway!...
Pat Robertson: Because The Broncos Disrespected Tebow, They Deserve A Peyton Injury
Robertson, appearing on some talky-talky show today, decided that "it would serve the Broncos right" if Peyton Manning was incapacitated by that neck injury. What did they (and he) ever do to deserve that? They treated Tim Tebow "shabbily." In that justification, there's no mention of Jesus, but: Je...
The Tim Tebow Trade Might Be Held Up Because The Jets Never Read Tebow's Contract
Hold off on throwing away your Chrebet jerseys, Jets fans. The Tebow trade might not be happening because of a five-million-dollar snag....
Obituary For Dead Broncos Fan Says He Hated Peyton Manning And "Wanted Out Before A Deal Was Done"
Jim Driver died on Monday, the same day Peyton Manning agreed to terms with Denver. Driver, 1933-2012, led an interesting life. He was a Navy photographer in the Korean War, transferred from Santa Clara Community College because "the curriculum was too liberal," and spent his later years teaching ch...
The Jets And Broncos Agree: Tim Tebow Was Not Worth A First-Round Draft Pick
After picking Tim Tebow in first round of the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos have shipped him and a seventh-round pick in the upcoming draft to the Jets for their fourth- and sixth-round picks. So now it's possible to put a value on Tebowmania. Using the famous draft-value matrix that assigns a ...
Peyton Manning Will Throw For 4,400 Yards, 32 Touchdowns Next Season, Says Science
Fantasy whiz Nik Bonaddio, proprietor of sports analytics firm numberFire, has weighed in with the first realistic prognostication of what fantasy players might expect from Manning, provided his surgically fused neck can hold up to the rigors of a full 16-game NFL season....
