Purdue's Rapheal Davis Dives For Loose Ball, Takes Out Gregg Doyel
Purdue guard Rapheal Davis jumped into press row for a loose basketball during today's game against Penn State, and ended up knocking over a bunch of electronics and Gregg Doyel of the Indianapolis Star.

Doc Rivers Is The Worst Kind Of Internet Commenter
Doc Rivers has made a very public case that DeAndre Jordan should be the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year this season. It seems absurd that the Defensive Player of the Year could be on the league's 15th-ranked defense, especially since the Clippers have plus defenders Chris Paul, JJ Redick, and Ma...

How Anthony Davis Gives The Pelicans Open Looks They Don't Deserve
Good ball movement generates open shots. This is Basketball 101, so fundamental to the game's primary education it may as well come down on stone tablets to every young player. It's proven: perhaps to the relief of youth coaches around the country, SportVU player-tracking shows that ball movement in...
Antrel Rolle Signed With Chicago After Getting A Message From God/Orbitz
Longtime Giants safety Antrel Rolle signed with the Chicago Bears this week, but leaving New York was not a decision he treated lightly.

José Mourinho Gets Philosophical In Rant Directed At Haters In The Media
“The world is a bit strange. Maybe because of diets, and maybe because of the quality of produce we are eating, I think memories are getting shorter,” José Mourinho begins his wild, metaphysical ride that somehow ends with him basically calling certain members of the media jealous cowards....
Kyrie Irving Unleashes All Hell In The Perfect Meaningless Game
San Antonio isn't usually a place for mid-March NBA thrills. Oh, the latter-day Spurs remain perfectly capable of playing the sort of gyroscoping, pinball-passing game pretty enough to goose Red Auerbach's carcass from 6 to 12, but it's very a long season and a very old team and while you can usuall...
This Bill Walton Tangent Is One For The Ages
Bill Walton has carved out a nice space for himself as the Harry Caray of basketball broadcasts, and he went on one of his weird tangents during last night's game between Stanford and Utah. I don't want to spoil anything, but make sure you stick it out to the end....
How Jordan Cameron Used The NFL Media
For about two hours yesterday, before he signed with the Dolphins, TE Jordan Cameron was returning to the Browns. It was a "done" deal, according to multiple respected NFL reporters:...
Kyrie Irving Hits Buzzer-Beating Three To Force Overtime
Down six with just over 30 seconds remaining, it looked like the Cavs were certain to take the L tonight in San Antonio. That's before Kyrie Irving hit a pair of three-pointers—one at the buzzer—to force overtime....
This Knicks-Lakers Game Is A War Crime
We might be in the NBA's Belle Époque, but this 15 second sequence is the lowest moment in NBA history. These two shots are crimes against humanity. If you are watching the Knicks-Lakers game please hit yourself in the face, and then instead watch the Cavaliers and Spurs on TNT....
Can A Keeper Get A Red Card While Unconscious? One Player Investigates
If you add it up, Máximo Banguera of Barcelona SC spends nearly two minutes pretending to be dead to the world in between a late tackle on an Atlético Nacional player and when the ref finally shows him the red card he was obviously trying to avoid....
Romelu Lukaku Channels His Inner Marshawn Lynch On This Bulldozing Run
This is probably as close as you'll get to seeing Beast Mode's famous Beast Quake run recreated on a soccer pitch. Everton's Romelu Lukaku knocks over a good three or four defenders before laying off the assist for Steven Naismith's equalizer, proving that he is indeed 'bout that action:...
Eagles Sign Ryan Mathews Anyway, Chip Kelly Remains Fascinating
Chip Kelly and the Eagles are having the strangest, most entertaining offseason in recent memory. Trading LeSean McCoy, agreeing with—then losing—Frank Gore, agreeing with Ryan Mathews before signing DeMarco Murray, and now, reportedly...signing Mathews anyway? Really? Huh....
Counterpoint: Come On, That's Obviously Iman Shumpert On <i>Empire</i>
I don't watch Empire. But come on. Look at this:...
Point: Iman Shumpert Says <i>Empire</i> Is Plagiarizing His Life; He's Wrong
Empire is the story of Empire Records, a mega-successful record conglomerate headed by heavy-handed CEO Lucious Lyons (played by Terrence Howard). Lucious has three sons: Andre, Jamal, and Hakeem. Hakeem is a rapper who dates a babyfaced singer named Tiana. Cleveland Cavaliers guard and sometime rap...
Chris Paul Will Help You Clown Yourself
Last night, in Oklahoma City, Chris Paul turned the Thunder into a Swiffer. Attach all the necessary caveats to that, of course—it's just one game; the Thunder were without Kevin Durant and the helpful version of Serge Ibaka who used to exist before somebody decided he needed to become Walt Willi...
Jury Orders NFL To Pay $76,000 To Displaced Super Bowl Attendees
Remember those hundreds of fans who wanted to sue the NFL after being displaced from their seats at the 2011 Super Bowl? Well, a few of them just got a shitload of money from the NFL....
