Meanwhile, Ray Felton And Jamal Crawford Have "Orchestrated A Mutiny" In Portland
From Chad Ford's chat on ESPN.com today:...
Monta Ellis Sure Sounds Happy To Be Leaving The Warriors
There's nothing subtle about this San Francisco Chronicle report on the Warriors' reaction to last night's trade with the Bucks. Oh, sure, the Golden State locker room was described as "gloomy," what with Monta Ellis, Epke Udoh, and the injured Kwame Brown departing for Milwaukee in exchange for Ste...
Mike D'Antoni Resigns As Knicks Coach
At 1:44, we received an email saying Mike D'Antoni was stepping down as Knicks coach. It supposedly came "straight from the D'Antoni family," but we hadn't dealt with the source before, couldn't confirm, and wasn't particularly the kind of thing that's worth getting wrong....
Linsanity Was Unbelievable; Carmelodrama Is Just Incomprehensible
There was no Knicks game last night. But the Knicks—the doomed, imploding Knicks—are today's big sports news in New York, even if Carmelo Anthony hasn't really requested a trade, even if Mike D'Antoni is secure in his coaching job*, even if the last game the team played was a tight road loss in Chic...
The IRQ Car Decal: Noble Or Horrible?
I hate Euro Decals. HATE THEM. They are the fucking scourge of the highways: one goddamn SUV after another with some precious OBX circle sticker planted somewhere above the trunk handle. People like slapping Euro decals on their car because they like letting you know where they spend their leisure t...
If You Like Supporting Jewish Charities, And You Want To Have Steak With Mo Vaughn, Boy, Do We Have The Auction Item For You
Now, I have no idea what the Russian American Jewish Experience is—and, consider, I'm vaguely descended from Russian Jews—but I do know they have one of the most exquisite experiences ever up for auction right now....
The Marlins Are Testing The Safety Of Their Fish Tank By Throwing Baseballs At It
I love me some animal welfare, but can't get too worked up by the Marlins having a tank filled with live fish embedded in the backstop of the new Marlins Park. For one, fish are dumb. For another, the other option, the ocean, is not exactly a paradise. There are predators and seaquakes and boats and...
Polish U8 Soccer Match Abandoned After Fans Light Flares, Generally Go Nuts
Poland has a history of fans disrupting youth soccer games, for what we suspect are shits and giggles. Here's another one—undated, with no details, but at one point a fan is shown with the flag of FC Wągrowiec (apparently distinct from third-tier side Nielba Wągrowiec)....
Dirtiest U-12 Soccer Player In The World Discovered In Hong Kong
When an athlete realizes that he's reached the upper limits of his skill, he either accepts it and plays on. Or he learns to play dirty. Like the vicious ginger lad (No. 2) in this video, who was recently spotted in Hong Kong behaving like a human scythe. The boy commits several dirty fouls in the...
Bronze Medal Ping Pong GOD Bravely Resigns From Goldman Sachs
By now, you may have already heard of Greg Smith, an executive director at Goldman Sachs who resigned his post today, and did so the way all filthy rich people do: via New York Times op-ed. And the greatest thing about Smith's editorial is that he manages to tuck his entire resume into the column:...
Octavio Dotel Could Have Rejoined The Defending Champions, Or Signed With An MLB-Record 13th Team. Guess Which He Chose.
Octavio Dotel is on his 13th different MLB team, and he's not even a crafty lefty. It's a record of longevity and effectiveness, if not irreplaceability, but it's a record nonetheless. Dotel is very aware of his own milestone, and has been for some time—putting it highest on his list of personal goa...
TV Station That Fell For Parody Of Hines Ward Signing With The Ravens Now Says He's "Returning To The Ice"
Pittsburgh's WPXI-TV meant to say Sidney Crosby, just like they never meant to say this....
Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall Accused Of Punching A Woman In Club FIght
It was reasonable to assume that the Dolphins parted with Brandon Marshall, for a discount price, to make Peyton Manning happy. It's the same sort of roster-baiting the Titans are engaging in with their very public courtship of guard Steve Hutchison. But things can have, like, more than one reason, ...
The Shocking Proof That Tim Tebow and Tebowing Are Cosmically Linked
Tebowing! Remember those days, before the Linsanity smacked us all upside the head? Man, that was a fun time, what with all the kneeling and praying, sometimes near mountains, in utero, or on embarrassing holiday photos....
March Madness Means Charles Barkley Fueling Your Future Night Terrors
The odd, temporary marriage between CBS and Turner during the NCAA tournament means occasional instances of one's chocolate being found in another's peanut butter, or vice-versa if you will. College basketball fans get a taste of TNT's Inside the NBA wackiness while NBA mavens let Jim Nantz singleh...
Badass 25-Year-Old Becomes Youngest Iditarod Winner Ever
Give credit to Dallas Seavey. Not only did this former high school wrestling champion beat out more than 60 other teams to become the youngest winner of the Iditarod in history, but he also crushed his 52-year-old father and 74-year-old grandfather, who finished way in back of the pack. I guess whe...
Tony Gwynn Is So Not Impressed With Your Baseball Analysis Technology
Bloomberg Sports must have developed one hell of a piece of baseball-analyzing software, because the Los Angeles Dodgers seem to be absolutely dumbfounded by its profound brilliance....

HBO Unable To Film TV Show About Horse Racing Without Horses Dying
Say you're a high-profile media company and you've got a hit show on your hands that delves into the shadowy world of horse racing. You know what might be in your best interest? Keeping the horses alive. First off, because they're the stars of your show. (What, you were going to say Nick Nolte?) Bu...
JaVale McGee Gave Jason Kidd The Easiest Steal Of His Career Tonight
