Harry Redknapp And Jordanian Journalist Have An Unproductive Interview
Harry Redknapp, the new (temporary?) manager of the Jordan national team, celebrated his first win in charge after his team beat Bangladesh yesterday, 8-0.

Let's Watch All Of The Long-Range Needle-Threading Passes

Report: NBA Free Agency Moratorium Reduced To Five Days
Remember last summer’s NBA free agency moratorium period, when DeAndre Jordan agreed to sign with the Mavericks before reneging on his verbal commitment and re-signing with the Clippers on a crazy night that included an emoji war?

The Maddening Futility Of Arsenal, In One Play
Arsenal crashed out of their specialty competition (the FA Cup) this morning after a 2-1 loss to Watford.

Falcons Apologize For Asking Combine Prospect If He Likes Men
This morning Ohio State CB Eli Apple, who’s projected to go mid-first round in next month’s draft, appeared on Comcast SportsNet in Philadelphia and revealed the strangest question he’d been asked at the NFL scouting combine. Turns out, the strangest question he got was also the first....
D'Angelo Russell Caps Career Night By Pointing Out The Ice In His Veins
There’s still a decent chunk of games left in the NBA season, but I feel pretty comfortable naming Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell’s swaggering reaction to his clutch three the winner of the 2015-16 Feeling Yourself Award. (Sorry, Evan Turner. Better luck next year.)...
DeAngelo Williams Heckles Jordan Cameron While He Pees
So that’s a weird headline. It only exists because DeAngelo Williams and Jordan Cameron are part of this year’s American Football Without Barriers camp in Egypt, and also because it’s hard to hold a pee on a long bus trip....
Washington Football Team Sues Former Player For Extra Severance Pay They Accidentally Gave Him
H.B. Blades was a sixth-round pick from Pittsburgh who played four seasons for Washington as a linebacker. The team cut him in 2011, and formally paid him $40,000 in severance pay in September 2012.

<i>Fox Sports Live</i> Relaunches; Spends Most Of Time Mocking Show's Low Ratings
Fox Sports 1 relaunched Fox Sports Live tonight in hopes a revamped format might spark the highlight show’s inexplicably bad ratings.

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.

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...

This afternoon, SB Nation’s Longform vertical published 12,000 words on Daniel Holtzclaw, the former Oklahoma City police officer who was convicted of abusing his position of power to rape multiple women over a seven month period.
