Jrue Holiday Will Punish You For Worrying About Anthony Davis
The Toronto Raptors came into last night’s home game against the New Orleans Pelicans as the hottest team in the NBA, with a league-best 12-1 record and on a six-game winning streak. They had third-best offense and eighth-best defense in the league, and have done all this with Kawhi Leonard already ...
Draymond Green Blew It And Kevin Durant Got So Mad At Him
The Warriors and Clippers played a thriller last night, in which the Warriors made an 11-0 run in the last five minutes of regulations to tie the game, only to lose 121-116 in overtime. But who cares about any of that shit! We’re here because Kevin Durant and Draymond Green looked like they wanted t...
Mike Francesa Offers Touching Words On Stan Lee's Passing: "Oh, Who Cares?"
It’s probably too much to ask Mike Francesa to be compassionate on the air, or to admit that he should have known something he didn’t know. But come on, Mike, the guy just died! The least you could do is muster up something better than, “Who cares?”...
A Roundup Of Jets Fans Looking Like Hostages
Year 4 of the Mike Maccagnan-Todd Bowles era has finally hit rock bottom. Sunday, the Jets hosted the 2-7 Bills, who were reduced to starting Matt Barkley, a fourth-string quarterback who wasn’t even on an NFL roster until Halloween. Oh, and Buffalo came in with the worst offense in DVOA history. Th...
Sean Payton Destroyed A Fire Alarm Before The Saints Destroyed The Bengals
Whether Saints head coach Sean Payton was angry or just trying to hype up his team before Sunday’s game against the Bengals, he seriously fucked up the fire alarm in the visiting locker room at Paul Brown Stadium. What’d he use to do this damage? Does he have fists made of steel?...
Let's Remember Some Carmelo Anthony Highlights
Carmelo Anthony’s time with the Houston Rockets seems to be coming to a quick and humiliating end. This comes after an agonizing season with the Thunder and a productive but mostly disappointing tenure with the Knicks. It’s been true for long enough now that it can be said without qualification: Car...
The Colts Can Block Now
Feel free to disagree, but the best highlight to come out of this week’s slate of NFL games was a moment from yesterday’s Colts-Jaguars game, when rookie Colts guard Quenton Nelson pulled into the hole and absolutely buried Jaguars safety Barry Church:...
The Jets Defense Somehow Made Matt Barkley Look Competent
Before today, every Bills quarterback who had played in a game this season was either injured or deeply flummoxed by the game of football, so Buffalo’s had to dig deep into the scrap heap to find new guys to trot out. Fishing around with a rubber-gloved hand a few weeks back, they eventually grabbed...
Tom Brady Gets Upstaged As A Receiver By An Opposing Quarterback, Again
Early in the fourth quarter of today’s Patriots-Titans game, New England ran a wide receiver passing play where Julian Edelman threw a six-yard pass to an open Tom Brady. While it wasn’t a repeat of the infamous Super Bowl blunder—Brady actually caught the ball—the New England quarterback showed tha...
NFL Fines Michael Thomas Like Joe Horn For Celebrating Like Joe Horn
After NFL officials saw Michael Thomas celebrate a touchdown with a flip phone just like Joe Horn did in 2003, the league decided to fine Thomas like they did Horn in 2003. The current Saints receiver got hit with a $30,000 fine for using the phone as a prop and having a mobile device on the bench i...
Furman Defeats Loyola-Chicago On Game-Winning Baptism

New Saints Receiver Dez Bryant Might Have Torn His Achilles At Practice
This really sucks. Two days after Dez Bryant signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints, specifically so he could join a good team and prove he was worth a multi-year deal next offseason, he left practice with an injury that might be an Achilles tear, according to multiple reports....
David Fizdale Doesn't Want To Be Tempted By Visions Of A Healthy Kristaps Porzingis
As the Knicks head coach, David Fizdale has been a blessing. He’s gotten creative with his lineups; he’s giving the youth plenty of burn; and he’s not trying to win now with the likes of Lance Thomas and Enes Kanter. He’s taking the long view. So long is his view that Fizdale is not even willing to ...
Marcus Peters Says If Sean Payton Keeps Talking Shit They Will Have A "Nice Lil' Bowl Of Gumbo" Together

New York Knicks coach David Fizdale provided a very bleak update today about the status of team centerpiece Kristaps Porzingis, who hasn’t played since he tore his ACL in a game against the Bucks on Feb. 6 last season. Even after nine months of recovery, Porzingis still isn’t fully able to run, and—...
The Dallas Cowboys Are Still A Mess
The Dallas Cowboys added wide receiver Amari Cooper in a trade with the Oakland Raiders during their bye week. It helped! Cooper was the Cowboys’ leading receiver, catching 5 passes for 58 yards and a score on Monday night. It didn’t help the Cowboys win, of course: They lost at home to the Tennesse...
