Have Another Kobe Bryant Lowlight, Because We're Running Out Of Time
The Los Angeles Lakers only have four games left to play, which means we are nearly out of chances to watch old man Kobe Bryant creak his way through some extremely funny and embarrassing possessions. He gave us one last night, though, so let’s hold onto it. It could be the last one we ever see:...
The Padres Almost Scored A Run This Season
The early days of the baseball season are fun ones, because the smallest streak projects out to historical greatness. Rockies rookie Trevor Story is the first player in baseball history to homer in his first three games, and will surely finish his year with 216 dingers. Starlin Castro now owns the r...
No Losing Team Is As Fun Or As Intriguing As The Timberwolves
It would be an overreaction to last night’s overtime victory over the Warriors to proclaim that it heralds the Timberwolves’ arrival. It was just one game, after all, and the team is still just 26-52, the fifth-worst record in the NBA. It also remains to be seen how they deal with the organizational...
Dexter Fowler's Daughter Is The New Best Sports Baby
Sports babies like Riley Curry, Derrick Rose Jr., and T.J. Smith have been resting on their laurels lately, and haven’t done anything impossibly cute. That’s why my current favorite sports baby is Naya Fowler, the two-year-old child of Cubs outfielder Dexter Fowler and his wife Darya....
The Silicon Valley Guys Who Turned Around The Warriors Don't Believe In Their Ridiculous Luck
Friday night, in the third quarter of a home game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry started throwing up threes with no more trouble than a drunk trying to fall onto a sofa. Six for six he was, the kind of eruption that literally changes the dimensions of the game: He buried one trey from just ...

Drew Hutchison Gets Smoked By His Own Catcher
This time last year, Blue Jays pitcher Drew Hutchison was getting ready to start on Opening Day. Yesterday, he found himself making his final start of spring training, with one last chance to secure a spot in the big-league rotation.

Who Will Take Anthony Davis's Spot At The Olympics?

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? A similar occurrence is less likely this summer, as Adrian Wojnarowsk...
Adam LaRoche Retired Because The White Sox Wouldn't Let His Kid Hang Out In The Clubhouse Every Day
On Tuesday, Chicago White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche announced, much to the relief of White Sox fans, that he would retire from baseball. It now appears that his decision was related less to his inability to hit at a major league level or to injuries than to his 14-year-old son, Drake. According...
Andrew Bogut Hit His First Three-Pointer In Three Years
March 8, 2013, was the last time Warriors center Andrew Bogut even attempted a shot from beyond the arc. Since then he’s been waiting, watching, judging the angles, observing the Splash Brothers. Finally, in last night’s 125-107 win over the Pelicans, Bogut let ‘er rip....
Andrew Bogut Doesn't Even Stick Around To See If Stephen Curry Makes Three-Pointers Anymore
Stephen Curry hits three-pointers with such accuracy that we’ve come to create our own, extra-deep three-point line for him. He’s also created a level of confidence within his teammates that they’re now heading back to play defense even before he releases the shot, as demonstrated tonight by Andrew ...

The jury in Erin Andrews’s civil suit against the Nashville Marriott reached a verdict today.

Man Who Tries To Grab Home Run Ball From Kids Gets What He Deserves
Today’s spring training excitement comes to you from Arizona, where a Cactus League classic between the White Sox and Angels resulted in some lucky kid walking away with a Mike Trout home run ball—and an adult walking away with a random baseball he thought was a Mike Trout home run ball....
It's Been A Bad Week For Guys You Would Have Killed To Have On Your Fantasy Team In 2010
On Wednesday, the Falcons cut Roddy White. On Thursday, the Texans released Arian Foster. Today, the Colts told Andre Johnson that he’s gone. These are depressing roster moves, and not so much because of how great these players once were—but because these are indisputably smart and correct decisions...
