Down With NBA Playoff Color-Outs

You Can't Really Get Troy Tulowitzki Out Right Now
Troy Tulowitzki hit two more home runs last night, bringing his season total to nine, ballooning his slash line to .408/.512./.786, and raising his fWAR to a league-leading 3.1.

Blake Griffin Baits Serge Ibaka Into A Technical Foul
Griffin and Ibaka have a history that includes Ibaka smoking Griffin in the nuts, but this one is all Griffin.

These Emails Confirm That ESPN's Darren Rovell Is A Sensitive Penis
Remember when ESPN business reporter and post-human Darren Rovell narced out a guy on Twitter for cracking a joke at his expense? At the time, a lot of people figured Rovell was just blustering.

Wes Welker Was Passing Out $100 Bills At The Kentucky Derby

This Girl Fight Is The Best Comedy And Action Movie Of The Year
There's a Vine going around the internet today of a girl hitting another girl in the head with a flying shovel. It's hilarious.

Kings Win In OT; Jonas Hiller Looks Crushed
Oh man, poor Jonas Hiller. The way he whips his body around and looks back after that goal trickles in, you can feel his anguish and disbelief, even though he's wearing a mask. He is staring daggers through that puck. At 12:07 in overtime, Marian Gaborik redirected Anze Kopitar's pass and it sort o...
<em>SNL</em> Lampoons Donald Sterling Scandal In Cold Open

Yasiel Puig Hits Monster Home Run, Follows With Wonderful Bat Flip
In the fourth inning tonight in Miami, Yasiel Puig blasted a towering three-run homer to left-center, giving the Dodgers a 6-2 lead and Bill Plaschke a fainting spell.
