Early This Morning Delonte West Tweeted A Picture Of His Vomit-Soiled Clothes From The Bathroom
Delonte West was sick last night, but still managed to play 27 minutes and score five points on two of five shooting. Then he presumably went home a puked all over the place, took a picture and exclaimed "I think that's the last of it....I feel like my soul just tried to get out my body...gotd#mn!!...
Morris Claiborne Is The Smartest Rookie In The NFL
When word leaked that LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne scored a four on his Wonderlic, our measured reaction was "who gives a shit?" It's a test of certain cognitive abilities, and gives a result that offers no prediction of future performance. Claiborne has a distinction that's a hell of a lot more ...
This Drunk Lady Keeled Over In The Aisle During A Mavs Game
Friday night. Dallas. Spotlights beam down on a meaningless game, the playoff-bound (but underwhelming) Mavs against the tanking Golden State Warriors. The game is a spectacle. A party, really. For this lady. Reader and amateur videographer Baron tells us that the lass dances ("inappropriately str...
Delonte West Earned A Technical Foul For Giving Gordon Hayward A Wet Willie
Delonte West's been a source of our amusement for some time, but his antics have run him afoul of the law—and NBA referees—more often than not. He somehow escaped ejection for tonight's shenanigans, in which he shoved a finger in Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward's ear in the second quarter of the Dal...
Tony Romo Spawned
The Cowboys quarterback and wifey Candice Crawford Romo had a kid Monday, with Romo perhaps hoping to capture the family-man success of NFC East foe Eli Manning. Little Hawkins Crawford Romo has his mother's eyes and his father's penchant for choking on small objects like playoff wins. [Dallas Morni...
Vince Carter Airballed A Finger-Roll Last Night
At first, the best part of this clip is how the Kings pretty much allow Carter to traipse down the lane for what should have been one of his signature dunks. Not too long ago, Carter would have obliged by giving all of us something to marvel at. But he's 35 now, and it must be harder and harder for...

Kari Lehtonen Hits Fan In Face With Puck, Gives Him Towel To Clean Up The Blood That Is Promptly Stolen By Another Fan
Hockey fandom is a dangerous game, folks. If you're not taking pucks to the face then you're being ripped off by your fellow fans after taking a puck to the face. At least this woman had a conscience and eventually gave the towel back. For his troubles, the fan received Lehtonen's stick and a few ...
Texas Death-Row Inmate Shouts "Go Cowboys!" During Execution
Jesse Joe Hernandez was convicted of beating a 10-month-old boy to death back in 2001. He also beat the boy's four-year-old sister, who managed to survive. Because the crimes happened in Dallas, which happens to be in Texas, which happens to be ranked No. 1 in the nation in the application of capit...
Why Can't Roger Goodell Go One Day Without Lying?
Let's go on a magical trip to the NFL's fantasy world, where the penalties on the Redskins and Cowboys have anything to do with football. Indulge them when they tell you that two teams spending more than a nonexistent salary cap in the uncapped 2010 season constituted "an unacceptable risk to future...
It's Good That The NFL Is Punishing Washington And Dallas For Breaking No Rules
I'm glad, gosh darn it, that NFL owners voted 29-0 to enforce salary cap penalties against the Redskins and Cowboys for spending a lot of money in the uncapped 2010 season. It's a good thing that the league is coming down hard, $36 million for DC and $10 million for Dallas, on two of the most powerf...
Dirk Nowitzki High-Fived Roddy Beaubois So Hard He Nearly Knocked His Head Off
Dirk was a little fired up after his running hook shot drew a foul and put the Mavs up 16 during the fourth quarter of last night's win in Denver. His enthusiasm was a bit more than teammate Roddy Beaubois was ready to handle....
JaVale McGee Did Another JaVale McGee Thing Last Night
We already showed you JaVale McGee's, um, pass to Jason Kidd from last night. And we still think what happened Monday, when he cherry-picked after trying to catch a pass with his face before giving up, is without equal in McGee's ceaseless catalogue of hilarity, a virtuoso blend of the sort of low...
In The Name Of Competitive Balance, The NFL Plays The Bully And The Tyrant
The NFL is a dictatorship masquerading as a benevolent dictatorship. In redistributing $46 million in salary cap space from the Redskins and Cowboys to the rest of the league, the NFL is enforcing laws that don't exist, playing Robin Hood with blackmail, and generally continuing a tradition of arbit...
Redskins And Cowboys Lose Future Cap Space As Penalty For Wild Pre-Lockout Spending, Because Of Some Rule Roger Goodell Just Made Up
You know that old "nice guys finish last" canard? Totally a canard!...
What If Dirk Nowitzki Was Missing A Chromosome And Lived In Phoenix?
Then he'd be like a lot of people living in Phoenix. (h/t Tom)...
ESPN Inadvertently Mic'd Two Mavs Fans Last Night, So Here's The Highlights Of Their Commentary
The Lakers' 96-91 win over the Mavericks last night ended up being more interesting late than it should have been—mostly due to L.A.'s inability to hit free throws down the stretch. Yet there was another, more unique narrative taking place on one of ESPN's audio channels. ...
Did Dirk Nowitzki Shout "Fucking Faggot" After Hitting The Shot That Locked Up Tonight's Mavericks Win?
We're not entirely sure what it is Dirk Nowitzki shouts after hitting the dagger to ensure tonight's 97-94 double-OT win over Portland, but it sure looks like the same thing that earned Kobe Bryant an unprecedented $100,000 fine last season....

"They're Just Waiting Until We Die": Former NFL Players Suing The League Describe Its Indifference Toward Injuries
On a coffee table at his suburban Dallas home, Tony Dorsett recently laid out two pages of color-coded images for a reporter from the Associated Press, saying they show how his brain is slowly dying. The images were brain scans, and Dorsett said doctors told him the red parts indicate his brain's l...
