Supporters Clashed In The Streets Before The Red Bulls-New York City FC Match
This blurry, cargo-shorted gentleman striking a come at me, bro pose amid a crowd of soccer fans and police outside Yankee Stadium? He’s your mascot for a bunch of chest-puffery and general ass-showing before the Red Bulls and New York City FC played in the Bronx today....
Mike Francesa Is Very Confused By Basically Everything Related To MLS
Here is a non-comprehensive list of the things Mike Francesa exhibits serious confusion about during what should’ve been a short promo advertising tickets to an NYCFC-NY Red Bulls game: that NYCFC and the Red Bulls are in fact two separate teams; the correct pronunciation of international superstar ...
Harvard Man Lit Up
Yale beat Harvard today for the Ivy League lacrosse tournament title, winning its fourth trophy in five years and levying some punishment to its hated rival along the way—as happened to the Crimson’s Joe Lang here in the fourth quarter....

Nearly Perfect: For One Night, Rex Chapman Was King
Michael Jordan made me hate basketball. That’s not supposed to be the effect of one of the greatest players of all time, not if he plays for your team or you’re a connoisseur of the sport. But for me, a young sports fan in South Florida who sort of understood basketball, I looked at Michael Jordan’s...
Nearly Perfect: Charles Barkley Was The Patron Saint Of Moral Victories
I’m a sucker for those moments when athletes lose themselves a little bit. When Jose Bautista gets mad at baseball and then throws a bat into baseball’s face; when Rajon Rondo realizes it’s him against the world and still asks LeBron James to come get some; when Baron Davis decides that the only app...
Nearly Perfect: The Chicago Bulls Were Frauds
Children don’t pick their heroes, they gravitate to them. This youthful ignorance is blissful insofar as it frees one to feel that magnetic pull without questioning why it exists in the first place. The Jordan-era Chicago Bulls thus became the team of my childhood without any real reason beyond the...
Nearly Perfect: The Indiana Pacers Were A Vanished Ideal
The Indiana Pacers were a pretty, pretty basketball team. Do people know that now? It all came back at once, watching the bleary video of them facing the Bulls on Boxing Day of 1995. The in-game graphics reminded viewers that the Pacers had won the Central Division the year before—Michael Jordan’s b...
Nearly Perfect: An Unremarkable November Finals Preview
By November 26, 1995, everybody already knew the 10-1 Chicago Bulls were very good; nobody knew they were the best team in NBA history just yet. Michael Jordan was in his first full season back from retirement, the Bulls had gone down meekly in the playoffs to the young Orlando Magic the season befo...
Nearly Perfect: The Meteoric Rise And Fall Of The Orlando Magic
The Chicago Bulls’ path to the NBA’s then best-ever record and the first of three consecutive titles wasn’t as inevitable then as it seems now, with hindsight, and that’s in large part because of the rise and fall of the Orlando Magic....

The Desire To Be The Best Ever Is What Let The Warriors Achieve It
Seventy-three wins is unfathomable. Seventy-two wins is barely fathomable, and that’s only because the record books say the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls actually achieved it....
"Kirby's Law" Will Make It Harder To Report On Georgia Athletics
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed into law yesterday legislation that will give state university athletic departments an unprecedented right to delay responding to open records requests. This is good news for that state’s biggest programs—new UGA football coach Kirby Smart personally lobbied lawma...
It Sounds Like The Bulls Were A Big Mess All Year
Whenever the air comes out of any high-pressure situation in the NBA, it tends to precipitate a fallout where all manner of unfavorable gossip finds its way to the surface....
Crabby Warriors Vs. Bulls Take Contains Zero Evidence, Is Probably Right Anyway
The Golden State Warriors are one hell of a formidable basketball crew, insanely fun to watch, versatile, and with three games left on their schedule, they’re likely to tie or set the league record for wins in a season. The team they’re threatening is arguably the greatest the league ever saw: the B...
Justin Bieber, Carrie Underwood, The Weeknd, And More Iso Vocals From Last Night's Awards Shows
While you were busy watching Wrestlemania or The Walking Dead or something, a pair of second-tier awards shows aired—one sponsored by a bullshit media company tied into this weekend’s Final Four, and the other just another one of country music’s 184 occasions upon which to celebrate itself. We picke...
Mirotic, Mirotic, Put Your Hands All Over My Body

The Bulls Made A Kirk Hinrich Tribute Video And Set It To U2, Again
Kirk Hinrich is, if not quite a Bulls legend, than certainly a Bulls stalwart. He was drafted by Chicago back in 2003, and across two stints with the team racked up the third most games played in franchise history, only behind two guys named Michael and Scottie. ...
