Fuck This Instant Replay Bullshit
With 68 seconds left in overtime of the NCAA Tournament’s championship game, Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter poked the ball out from the hands of Texas Tech guard Davide Moretti, sending the ball out of bounds.

De'Andre Hunter Was Worth The Wait
It was, right up until it wasn’t, the sort of tournament that can crumble a draft stock.

Hornets' Jeremy Lamb Hit A Much More Reasonable Game-Winner Against The Raptors This Time
In any other situation, you, the reader, would be a fool to pick the constantly-underachieving Charlotte Hornets to beat one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference. Yet the Hornets were able to beat the visiting Toronto Raptors on Friday, 113-112, because they happen to employ a player that appe...

Bryce Harper Pummeled The Nats Until He Heard Cheers
If there were any questions about how Nationals fans would greet Bryce Harper in his return to Washington, they were answered well before first pitch.

Impossible To Imagine Bryce Harper Recovering From This Devastating Fan Sign
Sure, Bryce Harper may have gone 3-for-5 with a double, a dinger, and three RBI in a dominant Phillies win over his form team, but one angry Nationals fan made a savage sign out of a grey “Bryce Arnold” image, framed by an oddly formatted and incomplete border, on a wrinkly and curling sheet of 8.5"...

Nationals Fans Greet Bryce Harper With Lots And Lots Of Booing
Bryce Harper returned to Nationals Park Tuesday night, making his first appearance in Washington since he signed his mega-deal with the Phillies back in February.

Report: The Nationals' Second Offer To Bryce Harper Was Smaller Than The First

The President Couldn't Help Being Weird At The Capitals' White House Visit

Watch These Raptors Fans Get Their Hearts Ripped Out By Jeremy Lamb’s Buzzer-Beater
Jeremy Lamb’s half-court buzzer-beater against the Raptors in Sunday’s 115-114 win was a thing of beauty. After losing the ball in the closing seconds, the Hornets guard had to toss up an off-balance shot from behind half-court, and it somehow went in, keeping Charlotte in the playoff race and creat...

Hornets' Jeremy Lamb Stuns Toronto With Absolutely Ridiculous, Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater
