The Case For New York City As Greatest City In The World
There was some rumor going around about a Space Jam sequel last week starring LeBron James. Now, I hated that movie. I didn't even like it in the ironic way that some people like it because it was badly acted or whatever. But anyway, the guy who directed Space Jam was a legendary ad director name...
King Cake Baby Is Back
The Pelicans—who just redesigned their primary mascot to make it less terrifying—have brought back King Cake Baby for Mardi Gras. Here's he/she/it at the Clippers game last night:...
The Greek Freak Goes Hunting For Blocks
Giannis Antetokounmpo only got credit for one block on this play, but a hometown scorer would have probably given him two. He barely got a finger on the first ball, but it's safe to assume that the Greek Freak's footsteps and flying limbs had something to do with Tony Wroten biffing it. ...

Is Time For Give NFL, NBA, MLB, And NHL Medals, Olympic-Style

One Person In America Was Offended By Richard Sherman
Those post-NFC Championship days were heady times, a nation torn apart by Seahawks corner Richard Sherman being loud on television. But how many Americans were so upset, so scandalized by Sherman's actions that they actually took the time to complain? One person from Arkansas....
The Angels Are Going To Screw Up Mike Trout's Contract
Yahoo's Jeff Passan reports that the Angels and Mike Trout are in talks on a contract extension that would lock up the 22-year-old superstar for six years and around $150 million. This is an eminently reasonable number; it just makes no sense for the Angels....

Greg Oden Will Start An NBA Game For The First Time Since 2009
LeBron James is sitting out today's game against the Bulls with a broken nose, and Greg Oden, in a surprising decision, will take his place in Miami's starting five. The last time Oden started was Dec. 5, 2009; he fractured his left patella in the first quarter of that game. But in Oden's case, what...

Sarah Burke's Former Coach Spreads Her Ashes On Sochi Halfpipe
When the Olympics first began in Sochi, the IOC refused to allow athletes to commemorate the dead.

Her former coach, Trennon Pay...
