Add Andre Roberson To The List Of Important NBA Players Lost To Season-Ending Injuries
Andre Roberson takes a lot of shit for being among the worst non-center shooters in the NBA, and for how that lack of shooting has, in the past, badly cramped the spacing for certain Oklahoma City Thunder lineups. Those inclined towards giving him shit will be relieved, then, to learn that he will b...

Big Doofus Glory Boy Robs His Partner Of Kill Shot, Loses<em></em>
With the Australian Open semifinals on the line, the mixed doubles team of Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Andrea Hlavackova were standing in aggressive position at net. They were then served a gentle ball that looked like it’d land within six feet of the net. What a relief! That’s a routine put-away for...
They Should Leave Andre Drummond Out Of All-Star Games More Often
Andre Drummond is having the best season of his career, thanks in huge part to improvements as a free-throw shooter and passer, but it wasn’t enough to earn him his second All-Star selection. On Tuesday, he took his frustrations to Twitter:...

Say A Prayer For Jakob Poeltl, Whose Soul Now Resides In Hell
Early in Saturday’s tilt in Minnesota it looked like the Raptors might pull away from the home Timberwolves, who were missing Jimmy Butler due to soreness in his right knee. That turned out not to be the case—the Wolves pulled ahead during a lopsided third quarter, and won the second half, and the g...
Andrew McCutchen Meant Everything To Pittsburgh
Watch that clip up there. It says all there is to say about what Andrew McCutchen meant to Pirates fans in general, and to Pittsburgh in particular. For a long time, it was damn near impossible to imagine a Pirates player who possessed enough star power to affect young fans like that. Now that McCut...
The San Francisco Giants Aren't Fixed, But They're Appealing
The 2018 San Francisco Giants would have been a great team in 2013. But it isn’t 2013, and the Giants, who this offseason have traded for Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria, are in odd shape as they try to escape a payroll, personnel, and farm system crisis....
Now The Doomed Clippers Are Missing The Indestructible DeAndre Jordan
DeAndre Jordan hasn’t missed a game due to injury in his entire 10-year NBA career, a pretty remarkable streak for anyone, let alone a gigantic behemoth of a man. That streak has now ended: Jordan suffered an extremely nasty-looking ankle injury Thursday night against the Kings, and is not playing i...
Live Dog Mascot Runs Over Women's College Basketball Player During Game<em></em>
The first quarter of Wednesday’s women’s college basketball game between Drew University (N.J.) and Moravian College (Penn.) ended bizarrely when one of Moravian’s live greyhound mascots had a run-in with a Drew player. It’s hard to be more specific beyond a “run-in,” because it happened away from t...
Drew Brees Reminds Us What A Good Quarterback Does
The Saints beat the Panthers for the third time this season, 31-26, to advance to the next round of the playoffs. And after some truly ugly play from the QBs in the early Bills-Jaguars game, Drew Brees put on a show and served as the antidote. On 23-of-33 passing, Brees had an extremely efficient 37...
Erik Karlsson Wasn't Ready For Andreas Athanasiou

DeAndre Hopkins Makes A Catch To Remember
It’s mostly been a forgettable night for the Texans, but DeAndre Hopkins added some sparkle to the festivities with an incredible circus catch that held up after the mandatory video review.

Falcons Win In Wild Finish After Brees Interception And Payton Penalty
Atlanta overcame three Matt Ryan interceptions to come back and beat New Orleans, thanks to Saints quarterback Drew Brees throwing his own awful interception with his team in game-tying field goal range followed by Sean Payton drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that prevented his team from e...
Andre Drummond Looks Like A New Player
Two years ago, I called Pistons center Andre Drummond a hilarious monster, and it was a fitting description. He was player blessed with the strength and cunning to grab 13.8 rebounds a game (4.3 of them on the offensive glass), and the rock-handed touch to shoot 38.6 percent from the free-throw line...
Kevin Bieksa Landed Another One-Punch Knockdown

Drew Brees Led A Truly Improbable Comeback
Drew Brees and the ascendent New Orleans Saints were having a decidedly “meh” game for most of the day against Washington. They weren’t getting completely destroyed, but with a little over four minutes to go, with Washington up 15, it seemed safe to just call this an off day for New Orleans....
Joel Embiid Packed A Season's Worth Of Shit-Talking Into One Game
The Philadelphia 76ers, who are maybe good, beat the Clippers, who are maybe bad, in Los Angeles last night, thanks to a big night from their big center Joel Embiid. The 7-foot-2 Cameroonian has been on a short minutes leash throughout his career, though his 32-point, 16-rebound performance against ...
