Jabari Parker And An Amazon River Turtle Are Best Friends
It’s been a rough adjustment for the Milwaukee Bucks’ Jabari Parker. Last year’s #2 pick tore his ACL early in his rookie season, and he’s still working on finding his stride.

Doug McDermott Is Probably Still Looking For Reggie Jackson
The Bulls and the Pistons played a Kevin Costner movie of a basketball game last night in Chicago. Detroit finally beat the Bulls in 4OT, 147-144, and Jimmy Butler even had a clear shot to take it to five, but he clanked it.

The San Diego Padres selected Matt Bush with the first overall pick in the 2004 MLB draft. He was a local boy, born and raised in San Diego, starring at shortstop and pitcher for Mission Bay.

Alex Burrows Apologizes For Chirping Patrick O'Sullivan Over His Abusive Father
Former NHLer Patrick O’Sullivan’s story at the Players’ Tribune, about suffering horrific physical and mental abuse at the hands of his father, is one of the rougher sports reads in recent memory, and an invaluable one for anyone who’s ever wondered what they should do if they witness what looks lik...
No One Wants Publicly-Financed Stadiums—Except The People Who Count
The Milwaukee Bucks have—obvious exception aside—been a depressing team to watch this season. The defense that made them one of the surprise teams of 2014-15 has completely disappeared. The gamble on Michael Carter-Williams as the point guard of the future has been a disaster, as Carter-Williams has...
Jason Kidd Has A Little Talk With The Bucks About Appropriate Strip Club Attendance
On Tuesday night, the Bucks got rolled by the Lakers—no small feat, considering just how uninterested the Lakers are in winning this year, even if they were capable. But L.A. has not surrendered its most potent home-court advantage: its strip clubs. ...
Why Is The NFL's Most Infamous Quack Still Involved In Its Concussion Program?

Cool, The Steelers And Bengals Hate Each Other
Pretty much everything went the Steelers’ way in yesterday’s 33-20 win over Cincinnati, a game that held both insult and injury for the Bengals.

Bills Coaches Confront Officials, Call Them "A Disgrace To The NFL"
Some of the Bills didn’t have much to add after Sunday’s 23-20 loss the Eagles—like RB LeSean McCoy, who spent the week talking not-so-nice about his former coach, even reportedly hanging up on Chip Kelly when he called to chat. Following the final whistle, McCoy bolted from the field and dismissed ...
William Gay Flagged For Extra-Excessive Celebration

How The Warriors Streak Ended
24 wins in a row is as impressive of a streak as you’ll ever see to start an NBA season, but the Warriors were close to a different, sneakily difficult record last night. Had they beaten the Milwaukee Bucks, they would have secured the first 7-0 road trip in history. That stat doesn’t leap off the p...
Chip Kelly vs. LeSean McCoy Beef Reaches New Beef Level
Remember how earlier this week Chip Kelly was all like “I’d love to shake LeSean McCoy’s hand,” and then LeSean McCoy was all like, “Chip can’t say shit to me.”? Well this week Kelly called McCoy and he was all like, ‘Hey it’s Chip, from Philly,’ and McCoy was all like *hangs up phone*....
