Stephen Curry Is A Fictional Character From Planet X
One of baseball’s last remaining virtues is that the maxim “Watch any baseball game, and you’ll see something you’ve never seen before” is generally true. We think it’s about time that rule be applied to any time Steph Curry is on a basketball court... or off it....
Here's Michael Jordan Gossip That We Desperately Want To Believe
This week, a day after former Chicago Bulls assistant coach Johnny Bach died at 91, we got an email. A friend of a friend had sent the tipster a summary of a 2011 dinner with Bach.

Radio Dummy On Female NFL Coach: "There's No Place For A Woman In Professional Sports, In Football, Coaching Men"
Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley clearly has a problem with women.

Antwaan Randle El On Playing Football: "If I Could Go Back, I Wouldn't"
Former Steelers wide receiver and trick play artist Antwaan Randle El is very clear about one thing: if he could replay his life, there’s no way he’d play football. “If I could go back, I wouldn’t,” he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I would play baseball. I got drafted by the Cubs in the 14th ro...
It's Time For The World's Most Terrifying Ski Course To Claim More Bodies
“The first time I was at the start I was really scared,” says former ski racing phenom Didier Cuche at the beginning of the documentary STREIF: One Hell of a Ride. “All of the guys are making jokes in the evening. They’re saying, ‘Don’t unpack too much your stuff, because I don’t want to pack for yo...
Peyton Manning Told Emmanuel Sanders To Be Ready For His Self-Sack
For a Broncos’ offense without much going in the air (Peyton Manning’s struggles didn’t magically go away, though the receivers’ drops may have hurt more than anything else), Denver’s longest play from scrimmage was a weird one. Early in the fourth quarter, Manning slid to the turf to avoid perceive...
The Steelers Couldn't Afford The Mistake They Made
Had it all gone right for the Steelers, Fitzgerald Toussaint wouldn’t have fumbled away a promising drive with ten minutes left, leading to the Broncos’ go-ahead and ultimately winning score. Of course, had it all gone right for the Steelers, Toussaint wouldn’t have been in there....

A Good Big Bear And His Good Big Buddy

Pacman Jones Apologizes For Saying That Antonio Brown Faked A Concussion
When Antonio Brown suffered a concussion in Saturday’s playoff game from linebacker Vontaze Burfict’s hit, Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones thought the Steelers receiver was embellishing it.
