Andre Drummond And Chris Paul Star In A Very Fun Basketball Play
There are two things that are wonderful about this play. The first, most obvious thing is Chris Paul getting napped by a behind-the-back dribble from Andre Drummond, of all people. The second thing is Drummond, who is a fun player precisely because he plays like a BattleMech that’s got a few bugs in...

Oklahoma State Basketball Coach Travis Ford Ejected From Son's High School Game
So, Oklahoma State University men’s basketball coach Travis Ford was kicked out of his son Brooks’s high school basketball game yesterday, and that’s pretty funny, if perhaps unremarkable. This sounds like any run-of-the-mill Too Raw Sports Dad story, where a probably bad parent got too fired up liv...

Track Athlete Makes News By Publishing His Salary

Blake Griffin And Nuggets Coach Mike Malone Got Into It Over "Hack-A-DJ" Strategy
It’s not often we see a coach being held back by his team from going after an opposing player, but things got chippy in the fourth quarter of the Clippers’ 111-94 win in Denver. The scuffle—limited to a verbal one—was sparked by Griffin’s displeasure with the Nuggets’ “Hack-A-DJ” strategy, and damne...

How To Get Four Offensive Rebounds In 11 Seconds, Starring Andre Drummond
This sequence, from last night’s Pistons-Bucks game, is just hilarious. That’s Andre Drummond—the biggest, baddest rebounder in the league—deploying his brute strength, nose for the ball, and lack of finesse in a way that perfectly encapsulates him as a player....

This Guy Walked Around The World With $6,000 And A Violin, And Only Had His Nuts Grabbed Once
As I understand it, a Bulgarian farm worker grabbed Andrew Siess’s nuts with his left hand while holding a gun in his right hand. He wasn’t pointing the gun at Siess, mind you, just holding it. Siess pushed him away, but the Bulgarian guy—speaking the international language of aggression—again grabb...

Drew Stanton Danced And Carson Palmer Told The Crowd To Suck It
While a new piece of Peyton Manning falls onto the field every week, another aging quarterback with an injury history is having his Kurt Warner period.

ESPN's Promo For Mavericks-Clippers Goofs On The DeAndre Jordan Saga
The late-night standoff/sleepover that wooed DeAndre Jordan away from the Mavericks and back onto the Clippers will forever be one of the funniest moments in sports. So I’m cool with this silly ESPN promo for tomorrow night’s game between the Mavericks and Clippers, because nobody should ever stop m...

Andrew Wiggins Dunked All Over The Bulls Last Night
For a maybe-bad team, the Wolves are really fun to watch. Karl-Anthony Towns looks good and tall and spry, Ricky Rubio is finally healthy, and Young Cock Andrew Wiggins has, so far, done a better job converting his all-world athleticism into production than last year. And he won Rookie Of The Year l...

Andre Drummond Is A Hilarious Monster
After scoring 25 points and yanking down 29—twenty-goddamned-nine!—rebounds against the Pacers last night, Pistons center Andre Drummond’s per-game numbers are looking downright stupid.

Mark Cuban Is Still Incredibly Heated About The DeAndre Jordan War
Over the summer the Dallas Mavericks thought they had signed DeAndre Jordan, only for him to renege on his verbal commitment and re-sign with the Clippers.

Jermaine Jones Gets Red Card, Attacks Referee
Jermaine Jones, German-born USMNTer currently in MLS to get some checks and play whatever position he wants, has a history of getting heated and falling ass first into some stupid red cards. Back at Schalke, he got suspended for two months for stomping on Marco Reus’s foot....

DeAndre Hopkins Is The NFL's Hardest-Working Receiver
Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins only caught six balls for 50 yards during yesterday’s blowout loss against the Dolphins. Normally, that’s the kind of stat line you’d expect a No. 1 receiver with a bad quarterback to put up in a game where the entire team fell apart around him. But Hopkins has b...
