How Atlético Will Rely On Their New-Look Attack To Beat Real Madrid

So, The Wizards Aren't Handling This Slump All That Well
Shit's rough for the Wizards these days, man.

Jason Statham Will Hopefully Never Stop Making Movies Like <i>Homefront</i>
There are things you expect to see in a Jason Statham movie, and 2012's Homefront has those things: kicks, headbutts, armbars, heads smashed through car windows, weary neck-stretches, imperiled little kids, muttered warnings not to fuck with Jason Statham.

Clippers Meltdown Like Toddlers In Loss To Cavaliers
The Clippers were mauled in Cleveland tonight. They only lost by 105-94, but that is a deceptive result as they were down 31 after three quarters. The game was only misleadingly close because the Cavaliers sat their starters for the entire fourth quarter. It was the kind of game where the NBA puts...

If last night saw the nadir in inbounds plays, tonight presents the zenith. A nice play call saw Gerald Henderson peel around a Cody Zeller screen unguarded, and help defender Marcin Gortat was only able to react in time to foul Henderson, not prevent the alley-oop. This is how all inbounds play...

West Brom Want To Sell Their Best Player, But Not Before They Smear Him
West Brom are on the higher end of the Premier League's lower class, where good seasons involve winning relegation battles with a few weeks to spare and bad ones involve fingernails gnawed down to the nub.

Kind Of Weird: How <i>The Köln Concert </i>Made Keith Jarrett A Pop Star
The most improbably exhilarating record I've ever heard was recorded 40 years ago, at a special late show in the Cologne Opera House, in front of a youthful capacity crowd. It's likely the only opera-related album I've ever listened to more than once, but that's fitting, since few of the 1,400 you...

Bobby Petrino Is Still Scum
Bobby Petrino's coaching career has been a series of escapes. Not even one year after signing a 10-year extension with Louisville, he jumped to the Atlanta Falcons; bailed on the NFL after 13 games; went to Arkansas, where got the boot after wrecking his motorcycle with his mistress on the back; hop...
