Pac-12 Admits Officials Missed Critical Penalty On Last Play In Arizona State's Upset Of Michigan State
Things got weird at the end of Arizona State’s ugly 10-7 victory over No. 18 Michigan State in East Lansing last Saturday. The Spartans were in ASU territory and with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, MSU kicker Matt Coghlin appeared to connect from 42 yards and redeem two earlier misses by sen...
Children's Birthday Party Gets Much Cooler After New Jersey Devils' Mascot Runs Through Glass Window
When you’re a child, it’s surely cool to have the New Jersey Devils’ mascot show up to your birthday shindig, but what’s much more impressive is when NJ Devil gets overwhelmed by the play parachute, starts running around, and shatters a glass window. How many kids get to say that happened at their p...
Nation With Zero Women's World Cups Thinks Defending Champs Are Too Arrogant
The United States women’s national team—three World Cups and four Olympic gold medals to their name—will meet England—zero of either—tomorrow afternoon in Lyon to decide who plays in Sunday’s final, and the English seem rather perturbed with the brimming confidence shown by the Americans. ...
England Crawl Out Of Dumpster Fire Relatively Unscathed With 3-0 Win Over Cameroon
England lived up to their FIFA ranking as the third-best women’s team in the world for maybe 30 minutes in their match against Cameroon on Sunday. Had it not been for Cameroonian players allowing the poor implementation of VAR that has become a staple of this tournament to get to them, Cameroon woul...
P.K. Subban Traded To The Devils
Holy shit, a big-name hockey trade!...
Righteous Baseball Dude Kumar Rocker Saves Vanderbilt's Season With 19-Strikeout No-Hitter
Vanderbilt found themselves down 1-0 in the best-of-three Nashville Super Regional against Duke, and so they sent stud pitcher Kumar Rocker to the mound to start Game 2 yesterday and asked him to save the season. Rocker responded with 19 strikeouts and a no-hitter, leading Vandy to a 3-0 win....
Spanish Soccer Icon José Antonio Reyes Killed In Car Crash
Jose Antonio Reyes, former Sevilla, Atlético Madrid and Arsenal winger died in a car crash on Saturday. Sevilla, Reyes’s boyhood club, confirmed the news of his passing. He was 35....
Even When AEW Fucks Up, It Still Feels Like It's Doing The Right Thing
All Elite Wrestling’s debut pay-per-view Double or Nothing has stood out since it was announced as something new and fun amid the ongoing stagnation in WWE. Now that it has hit its first high-profile speed bump just days before kicking off, it feels official—a wrestling promotion isn’t a wrestling p...
Did Michael Avenatti Fall For A Hoax Invoice Claiming That Nike Paid Zion Williamson's Mom?
Two weeks ago, before he was indicted in United States District Court for a wide variety of crimes, lawyer Michael Avenatti intimated that he had proof of Nike paying Zion Williamson to attend Duke, and doing so by paying Williamson’s mother for bogus consulting services. His threats were quite spe...
The Panthers Landed Joel Quenneville, So Now You Might Have To Care About Them
The Florida Panthers cut off what could have been a long and dramatic summer of negotiation and landed the most coveted coach on the market just a few days after their disappointing year came to an end. Three-time Stanley Cup winner Joel Quenneville, who was fired early in the season by the Blackhaw...
Duke Is Out. What Will You Do With Your Hate Now?
At the exact moment Duke lost to Michigan State on Sunday, our sporting Borg collective went through the following thoughts, in this order and all within a second:...
The Glance That Put Michigan State In The Final Four
It is one of those historical ironies of the sport that Duke is heading home because the refs didn’t call many fouls on them. Usually, the free-throw disparity—the Blue Devils took 13 to Michigan State’s six—and perceived favoritism works in Duke’s favor. But not on Sunday, not in the closing second...
Coach K's Trust In R.J. Barrett Ruins Duke's Final Four Dreams
With two-and-a-half minutes remaining in regulation, Zion Williamson attracted a double-team in the post and found an open RJ Barrett at the top of the three-point arc so that his Canadian teammate could give Duke a 64-63 lead. No one knew it at the time, but that shot would wind up being the last p...
Tre Jones Spat In The Face Of His Doubters
The way to beat Duke is to make Tre Jones take threes, or so the thinking went until the Blue Devils’ 75-73 win over Virginia Tech on Friday night. The freshman point guard, who is now shooting 26.5 percent from long range after last night, was left to do whatever he wanted at the arc when UCF almos...
Zion Williamson Puts On Another Show And Duke Wins Thanks To Another Blown Buzzer-Beater
With Cam Reddish out nursing an injury, Duke needed Zion Williamson to do it all tonight against Virginia Tech, and boy did he deliver. The Blue Devils skated past the Hokies, 75-73, and Williamson led all scorers with 23 points. That was somehow his most meager scoring output of his NCAA Tournament...
How To Beat Duke
Duke is technically 31-5 so far on the year. But everyone knows that 60 percent of those losses don’t count. The top-seeded Blue Devils are a completely different and much worse team without Zion Williamson, and when he’s in the lineup, they’re 28-2, with zero losses since Jan. 14. That’s a really ...
Devils Goalie Cory Schneider Beaten By A Wrist Shot From The Damn Moon
A goal from center ice in a non-empty-net situation undoubtedly reflects very, very poorly on the goalie who let it by. Here New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider seems flummoxed by Sam Reinhart’s swerving, bouncing 85-footer, and makes a limp stab at the puck on its way by, which has got to be ju...
UCF Could Not Have Come Any Closer To Upsetting Duke
The UCF Knights gave the Duke Blue Devils way more of a fight than anyone dared hope they could, but ultimately they came just short of what would have been a bonkers second-round upset. Riding a 32-point performance from Zion Williamson, Duke escaped to the Sweet 16 with a 77-76 win....
This Weird Zion Williamson Three-Pointer Somehow Makes Sense
It doesn’t take a whole lot of intelligence to notice a strong correlation between Zion Williamson’s presence on the floor and the likelihood of Duke winning a basketball game. It certainly helps that he’s stronger and faster than every one of his opponents, but he’s also a smart enough player that...
