LeBron James Wants To Get <i>Paid</i> Next Year
LeBron James wants teams to know that when he signs his new contract, it's going to be for the maximum salary next year, which shakes out to about $20.7 million. LeBron has never been the highest paid player on any team he's ever played on and he's looking to rectify that....
Dwyane Wade And Chris Bosh Opt Out Of Contracts
The shell of Dwyane Wade has opted out of the remaining two years and 41 million dollars on his contract in hopes of signing with the same team for less money. Wade is looking instead to spread 60 million over four years. Chris Bosh has also opted out of his remaining $42 million, and is reportedly ...
Pat Riley Says The Heat "Don't Need To Rebuild"
The biggest question of the NBA offseason will be what becomes of the Miami Heat, who obviously cannot challenge again with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade's corpse, Chris Bosh (who is good and whatever but making a shitload of money), and the rest of the crap roster. It was perhaps Pat Riley's biggest co...
There's Something Off About This <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Cover
Above is the cover of this week's issue of Sports Illustrated, showing Kawhi Leonard skying through the air, his arm cocked back and ready to spike a dunk on poor Chris Andersen's head. There's a slight problem with this image, though....
The 2014 Heat Were Worse In The Finals Than LeBron's 2007 Cavs Team
At some point around the time Dwyane Wade was impaled, for the second time, on a doddering walkabout turnover in the paint, the wider basketball-viewing world realized that Dwyane Wade has been dead all this time, and was only now being told.

The Spurs Made The Mistake Of Thinking LeBron Had Something To Prove
LeBron James is, if nothing else, hyperaware of expectations. Some players use that for individual motivation, others fail under the pressure, but James, on occasion, twists it into a game plan. You saw that last night down the stretch, as the Spurs appeared convinced James would seek personal redem...
Poor Chris Bosh Had To Take Two Showers After Last Night's Game
Game 1 of the NBA finals was hot and miserable for everyone involved, and some of the players continued to be hot and miserable even after the game was over. One of those poor souls was Chris Bosh....

A Gay Basketball Player Goes To Bible Study
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a nationwide organization that often uses college athletic facilities to host weekly meetings.

Chris Sale Remains Impossible
Last night, pitching against the Yankees, Chris Sale struck out Brendan Ryan on a diving change-up that had Ryan so far out in front and swinging so hard that his bat flew out of his hands, helicoptering across the infield and landing near the lip of the grass. On the next pitch, Sale threw pretty m...

The New Mexico State University football team is looking for a new offensive line coach after current coach Chris Symington was caught huffing compressed air twice in a four-day span. ...
Awkward Minnesota Super Bowl "War Room" Is One Big Tiger Woods High Five
So my home state of Minnesota "won" the right to host Super Bowl LII in 2018, presumably because Zygi Wilf convinced local taxpayers to pony up for a new stadium with funds from electronic pull-tab games that haven't generated any actual revenue yet, and such triumphs must be rewarded. Anyway, sinc...
Carey Price Is Out For The Series
The Canadiens' chances of reaching their first Cup final since 1993 has suffered a major blow, after coach Michel Therrien announced that goalie Carey Price will miss at least the rest of the series with an injury suffered in a Game 1 collision with the Rangers' Chris Kreider. As you might expect, s...

Chris McDougall: I Never Meant To Start A Barefoot-Running Fad
In 2009, Chris McDougall published Born to Run, an account of his adventures in the remote canyons of Mexico. From his travelogue was birthed an industry-shifting movement that re-examined everything once accepted as gospel truth about running shoes....
Chris Paul Reminds Us Who The Point God Is
The real bummer about last night's game between the Thunder and Clippers is that it turned into a blowout fairly quickly, and not just because blowouts suck. See, if the Thunder had managed to keep it close, Chris Paul probably would have dropped 60 on those suckers....
Chris Russo Just Hasn't Found A Black Host "Worthy" Of Mad Dog Radio Yet
It could be that—for the three hours he hosted his drive-time radio program on Sirius/XM—Chris "Mad Dog" Russo was having trouble filling the air for the required three-quarters of every hour, because he said some pretty stupid things about race and media. Russo was asked about his hiring practices—...
Hawk Harrelson Takes To MLB Network To Complain About Hemorrhoids
Chicago White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson turned up on Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's MLB Network show High Heat yesterday, and things went pretty much exactly as you'd expect, with lots of talk about Carl Yastrzemski, Tony La Russa, and this year's purportedly dangerous White Sox squad. There was also th...
