Hey, Knicks Fans & New York: Suck It. The Wound Of Michael Jordan Will Never Heal
For all their bravado and noise about being the center of the Earth, what New Yorkers really enjoy most, and are best at, is complaining. And whining. And really that applies to most of the East coast, at least from D.C. on north....
<i>Inside The NBA </i>Desk Argues About Daryl Morey And The League's Standoff With China
Before the NBA’s season opener Tuesday night, the Inside The NBA crew discussed the ongoing feud between the NBA and the Chinese government for a good nine minutes. In the Free Speech corner: Kenny Smith. In the Be Nice To China corner: Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley. In a third corner: Shaq....
Charles Woodson Has Had Enough Of The Michigan Wolverines
Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines had their asses handed to them in a 35-14 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon. Michigan was fresh off a bye, mercifully given two weeks to prepare for the Badgers and their scary-good running back Jonathan Taylor, and it went about as poorly as it could go. Michig...
Poor Shaq Is Just There To Get Laughed At Now
The recurring theme of this latest iteration of TNT’s Inside The NBA concerns Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley’s friendly rivalry occasionally transforming into real enmity. If last night’s edition of Shaq vs. Chuck is any indication, though, the storyline may be done and dusted. ...
Charles Barkley Uses <i>Inside The NBA</i> To Debut His Jussie Smollett Material
Charles Barkley normally uses his spot on TNT’s Inside the NBA to get into extraordinarily dumb arguments with Shaq, but in yesterday’s edition, he tried out some jokes about the case of Jussie Smollett, the actor who allegedly set up a hate crime on himself because he wasn’t happy with his salary o...
Trevor Bauer's Idea For Universal Free Agency Isn't That Novel, But It Also Wouldn't Work
Thursday was a good day for loose cannons. David Stern declared that the NFL suspending Colin Kaepernick for fomenting mass genuflecting would have hastened his return to active football (which actually makes sense if you forget the fact that the NFL owners were in we’re-afraid-Donald-Trump-will-be-...
Charles Barkley Calls The 76ers "The Stupidest Organization In The History Of Sports" For Allowing An Injured Joel Embiid To Play Against The Pacers
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Pacers due to lingering tightness in his back. Despite signs before the game that he was not feeling 100 percent, he played anyways, and the initial returns weren’t great. Embiid started the game 0-for-3 ...
Look At This Bills-Ass Play
With a minute to go in the game, and the Bills at 4th and 11, quarterback Josh Allen got the snap, dropped back, weaseled and spun his way free from defenders, squared up, and chucked a potentially game-winning pass to the end zone where receiver Charles Clay waited, wide open. ...
Shaq Unveils Innovative New Player Ranking System
At this point, TNT’s NBA studio show is good for one thing: watching the bleary-eyed hosts agitate and confuse the hell out of each other. Confusion reigned during last night’s episode when Shaquille O’Neal spent nearly two minutes trying to turn his co-hosts’ brains into soup....
San Francisco Giants Owner Charles B. Johnson Donated To Super PAC That Made That Super-Racist Radio Ad
A super PAC called Black Americans for the President’s Agenda paid for a staggeringly racist radio ad in support of Mr. Peanut-looking-ass Arkansas congressman French Hill that dropped yesterday. The ad was targeted towards black voters (the PAC ran a similar ad in Missouri) and it features two cari...

Knicks icon Charles Oakley was reportedly arrested at a Las Vegas casino on July 8. Per TMZ Sports, the 54-year-old attempted to pull a chip he had wagered off of the table:...
What The Hell, Ball, Just Go Into The Damn Net Already
The chyron above the action would have you believe that this clip is from a USL match between North Carolina FC and the Charleston Battery, but if you can watch it and see anything other than a soccer-themed pinball machine, then your eyes work differently than mine:...
Tina Charles Came Home To Win A Title. Instead, She Wound Up In Exile.
You can understand Tina Charles’ season with the New York Liberty, her hometown team, by watching the final two possessions of last Thursday’s game against the Washington Mystics....
Charles Barkley And Shaq Got Each Other Steaming Mad By Yelling About Some Stupid Shit
In the right corner: Charles Barkley, man who thinks coaches need to have great relationships with their best players in order to win. In the left: Shaq, who would like to use his history being a toxic shitheel as proof that players and coaches can win while hating each other. What follows is a fail...
Draymond Green Dares Charles Barkley To Punch Him In The Face
As he often does during Inside the NBA, a show designed to bait its hosts into late-night ramblings, Charles Barkley got to talking shit last night. Specifically about Warriors forward Draymond Green:...
Big South Underdog Celebrates Huge Upset Victory With Epic Water Fight
The Charleston Southern Buccaneers toppled Winthrop Saturday, 78-75, in a game I can’t imagine anyone reading this blog actually cares about. It was an upset, on the road—the Buccaneers came into the game 13-15 overall and 8-9 in Big South play, while Winthrop entered in second place in the conferen...
Report: Former Bears Great Charles Tillman Joined Up With The Man
I remember Charles Tillman as a fun player with a preternatural gift for causing turnovers, and though I have never been a Bears fan, I remember rooting for him personally out of appreciation for his mastery of the forced fumble and the defensive touchdown. Those were happy times, and like virtually...
