Report: Mitch Kupchak Will Take Over Charlotte Hornets Basketball Operations

Buzz Peterson, the team’s assistant GM and a college roommate of ow...
Notre Dame Scores Last-Second Goal To Break Michigan Hearts In The Frozen Four

"I'll Ship You Back To Africa": The Full Story Behind Brandeis University Firing Its Basketball Coach
Brandeis men’s basketball head coach Brian Meehan joined the program in September 2003; since then, he’s taken the program to the Division III Final Four and become the winningest coach in program history.

Call Bryce Harper Overrated At Your Own Peril

Junior Hockey Team Stunts On Blowout Victims With Sick Goals
The OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds took a 2-0 series lead on Saginaw yesterday, earning a win in both a stylish and maybe kind of over-the-top fashion. With a 6-0 lead in the third period, the Greyhounds were ... let’s say, unrestrained as they played out the final minutes....
Kemba Walker Scored 46 Points In Less Time Than It Took Me To Write A Stupid Blog About It
It’s okay if you did not happen to plan yesterday evening around watching the tanking Memphis Grizzlies visiting the not tanking but nevertheless shitty and irrelevant Charlotte Hornets. I didn’t either, and that’s too bad. Because while I was watching whatever stupid crap instead—Wheel of Fortune! ...
Grizzlies Continue Remarkable Commitment To Tanking With 61-Point Loss

Holy Shit, Dwight Howard Played Like It Was 2008 Tonight
Dwight Howard—the same 32-year-old that has spent the last several seasons brewing beef as he scoots from team to team, that Dwight Howard—made a little history tonight. With a 32-point, 30-rebound game in the Hornets’ win over the Nets, he put together the first 30-point, 30-rebound performance th...
Congressional Candidate Doesn't Want To Talk About The Time He Cheated To Win The NCAA Hockey Title<em></em>
Pete Stauber is the Republican candidate in the upcoming election for Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District. His policy positions are pretty standard fare for a Republican: He voiced support for the rock-dumb tax bill and is pro-mining and anti-environmentalist to the point that he unironically wro...
Jose Altuve's Day At The White House Looked Pretty Awkward
The Houston Astros visited the White House today to be honored for their 2017 World Series win, which puts reasonable-minded players in a bit of a pickle. The traditional post-championship White House visit is a potentially once-in-a-lifetime honor. Having to tolerate Donald Trump in the flesh and b...

Ronda Rousey Beat Up Her Boss On The First Day At Her New Job

Drexel Sets Division I Record With Incredible 34-Point Comeback Win
Drexel fell behind 5-0 at the start of tonight’s game against Delaware, and for quite a while, it didn’t look like they’d be able to crawl out of that hole. With a few minutes remaining in the first half, they were down by 34, and by the break, they’d only managed to cut that to 27 points. But in th...

Bryce Harper Forced Don Mattingly Into Clowning Himself
The Marlins are a cynical disaster of a franchise with no apparent interest in winning baseball games, and the obviousness of all that has put the actual members of the team in a tough spot. The players on the Marlins still have to go out and play 162 games and pretend like the reason for them takin...
Words Cannot Begin To Describe The Horror Of Fergie's All-Star Game National Anthem
Something insane and terrible happened before tonight’s NBA All-Star Game. No one will ever be able to explain it to my satisfaction. Even in the context of the NBA’s disastrous, shriekingly awkward pregame nightmare, Fergie’s national anthem was an absolute abomination. A goose being strangled in y...
