Dear Abby: Cleveland Sports Have Created An 8-Year-Old Psychopath

Lakers center Andrew Bynum is not interested in your accolades regarding his 30-rebound game tonight, joining Wilt, Kareem, George Mikan, and Elgin Baylor as the only Lakers to accomplish such a feat. No, he'd rather focus on his poor 7-for-20 effort from the floor....

Tony Romo Spawned
The Cowboys quarterback and wifey Candice Crawford Romo had a kid Monday, with Romo perhaps hoping to capture the family-man success of NFC East foe Eli Manning.

Barack Obama Has Lost His Shooting Touch

Andrew Bynum Is Disgruntled
Andrew Bynum attempting a three on a meaningful possession was funny to most of us, hilarious even. Bynum pouting on the bench and refusing to join the huddle was even better.

J.J. Hickson didn't impress the Kings much this season, but he made his impact on Trail Blazers brass tonight with this thunderous slam on the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan.

Sorry, Padres Fans: Your Cable Company Just Screwed You

Marc-Andre Fleury Was Not Injured, So Feel Free To Laugh At Him Getting Bulldozed By A Teammate
Until we could get word on his condition, we've avoided making fun of Marc-Andre Fleury's collision after leaving his net for a poke check on Frans Nielsen's breakaway at the end of the second period of a 5-3 Islanders win. Stifle mirth no longer! The Penguins netminder is fine after taking an elb...
Andrew Bynum's Mini-Mutiny Included Trying A Three, Pouting
There has to be some reason why Andrew Bynum thought it would be a good idea to chuck up a three-pointer with plenty of time on the shot clock in a close game against Golden State.
