Shaq Speaks: I'm At A Low-C Performance Level As An Analyst, And I Don't See How The Fuck Steve Nash Won Two MVPs
Shaq's been pretty bad on Inside the NBA. He's playing the Barkley role at a sub-Barkley level, and Barkley's right over there, anyway. Thankfully, Shaq knows it, he tells Vibe....
Taunting In Professional Bowling Is The Best Taunting
There was a lot riding on Pete Weber's final roll at last night's Professional Bowlers Association's U.S. Open. The 49-year-old Weber needed no less than a strike to defeat Mike Fagan to become the first man to win the tournament five times, and to become the oldest man to win the event. But this w...
Bristolmetrics: Jeremy Lin's Knicks Got More <em>SportsCenter</em> Coverage Last Week Than All Of Men's College Basketball Did
This is a regular feature breaking down, minute-by-minute, the content that appears on ESPN's 11 p.m. edition of SportsCenter throughout the week. Graphic by Jim Cooke....
NHL TRADE FUCKING DEADLINE
There's the closing bell, and we've broken out the all-caps and fired up the ol' siren gif. That can only mean one thing: the NHL's trade deadline has passed. Lots of smaller-but-significant moves made (trade trackers here, here, and here), but everyone wants to know: whither Rick Nash? We'll know i...
Inexplicably, The Phoenix Coyotes Are 10-0-1 In February
There are some things we see when perusing NHL standings that seem unusual but presumably earned, like the Rangers leading the Eastern Conference. Then there are supremely wacky but ultimately explicable things, like Detroit's 26-3-2 home-ice record. (The Red Wings have all those good players, you k...
Boston's Clubhouse Beer Ban Is A Victory For Stupid People Everywhere
Jon Lester said he's not proud of what happened. Josh Beckett called it a "lapse in judgment." Clay Buchholz said he'll learn from "bad decisions." David Ortiz says it won't happen again. We will merely point out that a Major League Baseball team drank beer, and it's been a story for four-and-a-half...
How The Doping Case Against Ryan Braun Fell Apart: One Theory
The conventional wisdom on Ryan Braun's overturned doping suspension is that it was a triumph of cautious proceduralism over substantive justice—a victory for protocol and a rare (and for my money not entirely unwelcome) defeat for the drug cops. Baseball's testing program caught a juicer, the think...
After Latest Injury, Joel Zumaya Might Become A Professional Fisherman
The former Tigers flamethrower, whose Twins career ended with a UCL tear before really starting, told the AP, "I'm a pretty dang good fisherman, so I might pursue professional fishing." Watch for tendinitis when you reel 'em in, buddy....

Vick Ballard Faceplants While Running The 40-Yard Dash At The NFL Combine
The NFL Network provided the slow-motion replay of the former Mississippi State running back crashing headlong into a tripod, but SB Nation added the "Crocodile Mile" theme. [Kegs 'N Eggs]...
Report: Jerry Sandusky Still Had Access To A Penn State Internet Account Until Recently
We still don't know why it took the feds three months to initiate their own investigation of Jerry Sandusky, but now that they have, they've subpoenaed a laundry list of financial records, emails, correspondence, computer hard drives, and other documents from Penn State dating back to 1998. It's tem...
A.J. Burnett's Single Greatest Contribution To The Yankees Will Live On
There's still a month before the season begins, and already the Yankees have been able to replace A.J. Burnett's value to the team. No, it's not a WAR-level replacement player. Ha! That's a good joke. I wish I'd thought of it....
Only Kobe Bryant Would Get A Concussion And A Broken Nose In An All-Star Game
As far as NBA All-Star Games go, and that's not very far, last night's edition had just about everything. From the NBA's two best players pacing their conferences with 36 apiece, to the typical shootout devolving into world-class defensive play in the last five minutes, to the NBA saying screw you...

Nicki Minaj Had A Bit Of A Wardrobe Malfunction In The NBA All-Star Pregame
Fresh off her aiding and abetting of M.I.A.'s Super Bowl impropriety and a batshit insane Grammy Awards performance Nicki Minaj got a bit too worked up during the announcement of tonight's All-Star Game lineups, it would seem, and had a falling-out with her undergarment....

This Lil Wayne Appearance At The NBA All-Star Festivities Was Just Weird
Charles Barkley couldn't resist a quick drug reference after this painful interview with Lil Wayne (or, as he was introduced, "Little Wayne") which followed a regrettable performance by Gym Class Heroes on the NBA's All-Star pregame show on TNT....
