Zion Williamson Is Human
Zion Williamson had 18 and 12 and Duke won 84-54 on Wednesday night—which would have been impressive if they hadn’t been playing the Hartford Hawks (apparently a real college basketball team and not, like, a D-League franchise). As per usual, there were powerful, highlight-reel dunks from the Blue D...

Zion Williamson Spent Veterans Day Disrespecting The Troops
Veterans Day is a holiday meant to honor the veterans of this nation’s armed forces and the sacrifices they make.

Morgan Rielly Apologizes To Devils' Keith Kinkaid For Scoring Very Savable Goal

Zion Williamson Lived Up To The Hype
Last night, after what feels like decades of consuming Zion Williamson’s high school highlights and watching a few instances of him beating up on hapless Canadians, we finally got to see what the freshman can do against real D-I competition. What he can do is really fuck some people up....
Blackhawks Fire Joel Quenneville, For Some Reason
My headline is slightly glib, because Joel Quenneville—the second-winningest coach in NHL history—was fired for the same reason every coach is fired: the Blackhawks just aren’t very good. But the thing is, it’s really not Quenneville’s fault at all....
Jets And Dolphins Will Play On The Same Mud Pit Duke And Miami Mucked About In Yesterday
A combination of heavy rain and dozens of large, cleated football players stomping around on it for a couple hours meant yesterday’s Duke-Miami game, played for some reason in the Dolphins’ stadium, took place on top of a surface that looked more like a swamp than a football field. Which is bad news...

It Is Truly Sickening That The Blue Devils Also Have R.J. Barrett
Duke’s multi-stage devastation of Canadian basketball continued Friday, in Toronto, with the vile Blue Devils pounding the bejeezus out of the poor Varsity Blues of the University of Toronto.
