Kimbo Slice Vs. Dada 5000 Match Ends In Predictably Hilarious, Stupid Fashion
Tonight’s much-hyped Bellator match between Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000 ended the way you probably expected: with one of the fighters being knocked out by his own girth and being stretchered out of the ring....
Hot Damn, Check Out This Christine Sinclair Golazo
Canada and Costa Rica are playing each other in Olympic Qualifiers right now, and Christine Sinclair put Canada up 2-0 with this beauty. This ain’t quite Christen Press’s once-in-a-lifetime first touch, but it’s awful damn good. Poor Costa Rica just keeps getting golazo’d on....
Sports Highlight Of The Week: This Kid Eating It Over And Over

SB Nation Memo Announces Hiatus For Longform Program
Two days ago, SB Nation published “Who Is Daniel Holtzclaw?”, a long, sympathetic piece on the 29-year-old Oklahoma City police officer who was tried, convicted and ultimately sentenced in December to 263 years in jail for serially raping black women while on duty.

Judge Rejects Darren Sharper's Plea Deal As Too Lenient
It was baffling that Darren Sharper’s plea deal, for pleading guilty to drugging and raping women in four different states, amounted to just nine years of prison time.

Danny Green Gets Deked By Chris Paul <i>And</i> Dunked On By DeAndre Jordan In One Play
The Spurs lost to the Clippers last night in L.A., 105-86. In typically passive-aggressive Spurs fashion they managed to deflate the game before it happened, holding out Kawhi Leonard with “calf tightness,” so who the hell knows what the result means. Probably nothing. That probably does not make Da...

Hey, Maybe It's Time To Suspend Radko Gudas Again
Radko Gudas hits people, sometimes (often?) crossing the line from physical to dirty. It’s how he plays, and it’s how he’s going to play until told not to—or until some sort of discipline gets to him. I think it’s about time for the Flyers defenseman to have a few unpaid days off, after his latest d...
Hockey Player's Brother Hits Referee In Dick And Balls With Can
Alexandre Perron, the older brother of Rouyn-Noranda Huskies winger Francis Perron, was so incensed about a roughing minor against his brother in a Feb. 11 game that he threw a can at QMJHL referee Dominick Bédard. The projectile hit Bédard right in the crotch, and he doubled over on the ice....

Jordan Clarkson Had Some Very Prudent Advice For D'Angelo Russell
After Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell played well in Team USA’s win over the World squad in yesterday’s Rising Stars victory, a reporter asked them a question that translated to, “How freeing did it feel to play for someone else besides Byron Scott for a night?” After answering himself, it sure...
5'10" John Jordan Unleashes A Pair Of Nasty Dunks To Win D-League Dunk Contest
John Jordan, who’s only an inch taller than Isaiah Thomas, is currently playing for the Toronto Raptors D-League affiliate. The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi alumnus took part in the D-League’s dunk contest this afternoon and brought the house down with two of the best dunks I’ve seen someone under 6'0" ...
