Let's Watch Peyton Manning Sing A Johnny Cash Song
This wonderful thing happened at a Children's Hospital gala in Indianapolis, Ind., this Saturday. Country singer Luke Bryan was meant to be the evening's entertainment, but it was Manning who ended up stealing the show....
Kenneth Faried Kicked This Hole In A Wall After Last Night's Loss
"I hate to lose," Kenneth Faried told USA Today's Sam Amick after the Nuggets fell behind the Warriors three games to one. "I hate to lose more than I like winning." Translation: This poor bit of drywall in Oracle Arena's visitors locker room had it coming....
Steph Curry Is Still A Folk Hero
As brilliant as Steph Curry's performance in Game 2 of the Warriors' first-round series against the Nuggets was, it came with the distinct air of being a precursor to something bigger. He had arrived on the big stage and given us a glimpse of what he was capable of before leaving us to wonder simpl...
JaVale Has Hidden Two Tickets To Tonight's Game In A Marshalls Store
Some folks relax before work by taking in some sights, others cool out by hanging in a department store chain known for off-price fashion and home furnishing choices frequented by your mom. To each his or her own. ...
Stephen Curry And Jarrett Jack Are One-Upping Their Way Past Denver
It's the first round of the NBA playoffs, and a good series is kind of like finding a good mechanic you trust, but we've got it in Denver-Golden State. Nuggets-Warriors is the best series going and it isn't even close....
JaVale McGee Is A Big Fan Of Brazilian Girls
I really have nothing to say about this Twitter conversation that JaVale McGee just had, but it amuses me. I hope it amuses you, too....
Harrison Barnes Is Still Very Good At Dunking
We haven't really heard much from Harrison Barnes ever since he opened the season with a vicious posterization of Nikola Pekovic. But last night Barnes played the game of his career, scoring 24 points and grabbing six rebounds while playing as an undersized power forward. He also threw down this sp...
Stephen Curry Finally Makes His Playoff Splash
Last night's Warriors-Nuggets game ended the way you'd expect it to end when the Nuggets play atrocious defense and the Warriors shoot somewhere around 125 percent from the floor. But the bigger factor–bless his heart and his shaky ankles–was Stephen Curry finally getting a chance to show us what he...
Andre Iguodala Gets A Big Block, Finishes The Break With A Dunk
This one of just a handful of impressive plays that Andre Iguodala had during yesterday's Trailblazers-Nuggets game. It starts with him climbing the ladder to reject J.J. Hickson at the rim, and it ends with him receiving a nifty drop-off pass from Ty Lawson before throwing down a dunk. ...
Peyton Manning Pulled A Pretty Good Prank On Eric Decker
Those Manning boys sure are having a good time in Durham, aren't they? Eli's over here causing all kinds of mischief with Chris Mortensen's hair, and now we have big brother Peyton pulling a prank on one of his best wide receivers....
Elvis Dumervil Signs With The Ravens
Remember when the Ravens kept losing player after player after savior? Well, after all that, they just came across a nice, crisp 20-dollar bill on the sidewalk....
Kenneth Faried And JaVale McGee Have A Block Party
It's tough to decide which block is more impressive. Kenneth Faried meeting Thaddues Young at the top of the square for a clean, devastating block is cool, but JaVale McGee just straight up snatching a hook shot out of the sky is also cool, and kind of hilarious. Let's call it a push....
The Nuggets Don't Have A Star Player, But They Don't Need One
With last night's road victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder—a win that came on the second leg of back-to-back games—the Denver Nuggets quietly extended their win streak to 13. The Miami Heat, of course, have reached 23 straight wins with supernatural ease, and are understandably the bigger NBA...
The Bulls Got Screwed By A Correct Call
With 5.7 seconds left, down one in an OT thriller against the Nuggets (that no one was watching because Miami-Boston was mid-climax), the Bulls inbounded to Marco Belinelli. Belinelli drove left and put up a fallaway jumper that looked just short—but in swooped Joakim Noah to tip it in, and seemingl...
JaVale McGee Throws Down Over Joakim Noah
This happens so fast, I'm not even sure JaVale knows what he did. I am sure that Noah clearly wants nothing to do with McGee and just tries to forearm him out of the way....
The Play-By-Play Of Elvis Dumervil's Contract Mishap Sounds Pretty Agonizing
Yesterday, it appeared that Elvis Dumervil's failed contract negotiation with the Broncos was thwarted by a fax machine, a piece of technology rendered obsolete some 11 or 12 years ago by the advent of .pdf documents and email. It seemed like Dumervil was just another victim of the NFL's hard-assed ...
Elvis Dumervil Agreed To Stay With The Broncos, But His Contract Wasn't Faxed In Time
Well, this is a mess. The Broncos were in talks with defensive end Elvis Dumervil to take a pay cut to stay with the team, and it came down to the wire. With the deadline at 4:00 EDT, the sides reached an agreement in principle at 3:25. Dumervil didn't fax the contract until 4:07. Dumervil is now a ...
Broncos Safety Arrested In Vegas For Allegedly Cheating At Craps
Denver's Quinton Carter faces a suspension, fines, even prison time, after trying to cheat a crappy off-strip Vegas casino out of $15 worth of chips. Ocean's Eleven this is not....
