Steve Kerr Goes Fucking Ballistic At The Climax Of A Warriors Meltdown
In the fourth quarter of Wednesday night’s Warriors-Trail Blazers game, referee Kenny Mauer went to the replay monitor to check a hard foul from Draymond Green on a cutting Zach Collins. The game had already gotten chippy, after a huge Collins chase-down block at the other end seemed to unsettle the...
Danielle Collins, The Underdoggiest Of Underdogs, Has Never Been Here Before
This time last year, Danielle Collins was playing in Newport Beach, California. She was ranked No. 162 in the world and at a Challenger event, one tier of tennis competition below the WTA tour. Before arriving in Melbourne this year, Collins had not won a single match in the main draw of a major, wi...
Dak Prescott Gets Sacked By His Own Lineman While Standing Upright
The officials in tonight’s Cowboys-Rams game made their own avant-garde contribution to the NFL’s constantly expanding reality. Is a catch a catch if no one recovers what is later ruled a fumble? Did a play actually end on the one-inch line if it was originally ruled a touchdown? And now: can a quar...
Collin Sexton's Summer League Crunch Time Defense Is Maybe Too Intense
Josh Hart and Collin Sexton had what looks like a decent duel in the semifinals of the NBA Summer League tournament last night. Hart went off for 37 points and nine rebounds in the Lakers’ 2OT win (nothing is more conceptually absurd than Summer League overtime), while Sexton had 27 points for the C...
On The Origins, Use, And Meaning Of "Ass In The Jackpot"
The emergence last month of a 2016 video featuring mic’d-up Terry Collins arguing with umpire Tom Hallion not only gave the world, if only briefly, a unique insight into how umps deal with enraged managers, but also its most prominent demonstration of a phrase that was, until that point, known by on...
MLB On Ejection Video Scrubbing: Our Ass Would Be In The Jackpot If We Didn't
It’s only been a few days since MLB umpire Tom Hallion introduced the phrase “our ass is in the jackpot” in a leaked video that contained full audio of a 2016 Terry Collins ejection. While we’re still no closer to understanding why Hallion used the word “jackpot” instead of something more normal lik...
What Do We Think Of This Old Video Of An Umpire Handling An Extremely Pissed Terry Collins?
Noah Syndergaard was ejected from a Dodgers-Mets game way back in late May 2016 after throwing behind Chase Utley in the top of the third inning. It was a 1-0 pitch, and it was 99 miles per hour, and it sailed behind Utley by a good eight inches:...
Collin Sexton Is Absurd
Alabama upset No. 16 Auburn 81-64 in the SEC quarterfinals today, with the Crimson Tide leaning heavily on guard Collin Sexton to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The freshman was good for a game-high 31 points and seven rebounds, but Sexton’s seemingly now-routine Impossible Play of the Game...
Alabama's Collin Sexton Keeps The Tide Alive With A Coast-To-Coast Buzzer-Beater
Alabama is an occasionally pretty fun college basketball team with a sub-.500 conference record, and they desperately need wins in the SEC Tournament in order to get in the NCAA Tournament. Luckily for the Tide, they earned a dramatic one today against Texas A&M....
Eli Apple And Landon Collins Have Some Complicated Beef
Nobody on the New York Giants is having a very good season, but that’s especially true of second-year corner Eli Apple. Apple has struggled on the field while his team has gone 2-13.

Report: Giants Players Have Given Up On Ben McAdoo
ESPN’s Josina Anderson is reporting some damning, if unsurprising, quotes coming from a couple of unnamed players in the 1-7 New York Giants locker room. They claim that the Giants are leaderless with coach Ben McAdoo at the helm, that he can’t communicate with players and isn’t making the right dec...
Seahawks Do That Goddamn Double Catch Again<em></em><em></em>
In the box score, this play that gave the Seahawks some breathing room against the Giants is simply a 38-yard touchdown from Russell Wilson to Paul Richardson, but live, it’s a lot to unpack....

The Mets Are Just Messy As Hell

Some People Are Happier Than Others To Talk About Ezekiel Elliott's Suspension And Reprieve
Things are looking good for the Cowboys. They shellacked the Giants 19-3 in the season opener, just two days after a district court judge granted a preliminary injunction against the NFL that assures that star running back Ezekiel Elliott will likely be able to play all season long. To hear owner Je...
The Mets Will Pitch Matt Harvey On Short Rest, For Reasons Passing Understanding
It’s nothing short of cruel that the Mets have to find a way to finish out these next 26 games. Their season has gone so completely into the toilet; they haven’t won consecutive games since August 10; they’re 24 games back of the Nationals in the NL East and 14 games out of the NL Wild Card; they’ve...
What The Hell Did The Mets Do To Steven Matz?
On Monday, the Mets announced that young starter Steven Matz was being shut down.

If he had to pitch he could pitch tomorrow.” A few hours later, the Mets announced that Matz w...
ESPN's <i>Sunday NFL Countdown</i> Acquires A Collinsworth<em></em>
The Collinsworth arms race has heated up. NBC’s Sunday Night Football has Cris, and as of this afternoon, ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown has Jac, son of Cris.
