To the surprise of not one single person on earth, a Knicks team missing Kristaps Porzingis and giving major rotation minutes to all of Tim Hardaway Jr., Mario Hezonja, and Emmanuel Mudiay sucks major ass and is losing lots of games.

Derrick Henry Went Old School And Embarrassed The Jaguars
Derrick Henry did much, much more last night against the Jaguars than run 99 yards, impale All-Pro corner A.J.

Heroic Doggy Keeper Rescues Blundering Human Keeper With Great, Adorable Save
Juventud Unida beat Defensores de Belgrano 3-0 on Sunday in Argentina’s third division.
