DeMarcus Cousins Does Beautiful Impression Of Joakim Noah's Shooting Form
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Joakim Noah’s shooting motion can be awkward as hell, but most basketball players do not acknowledge this truth by mocking it to Noah’s face in the middle of a game. DeMarcus Cousins is not most basketball players:...
Carmelo Anthony Sure Seems Tired Of Phil Jackson's Shit
Phil Jackson, a guy who would look a lot dumber without his glasses, continues to emit ill-advised takes that make good NBA players angry. For his most recent target he chose his own star forward, Carmelo Anthony. Now feels like an odd time to seed resentment among Jackson’s Knicks, who, last night’...
Nobody Seems To Want Andrew McCutchen
There might be a gas outage in Pittsburgh this week because the stove, my friends, appears to have gone freezing cold for Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates....
The Cavs And Warriors Flexed On The NBA Last Night
Part of the fun of paying close attention to the early part of the NBA season is picking out the trends and performances you didn’t quite see coming. This part of the year is all about asking questions like, Whoa, Kristaps is a star now and the Knicks might be pretty good? and Wait, can the Clippers...
Odell Beckham, We Have Something You Should Read
Odell Beckham Jr. is still steamed about the officiating in the Giants’ loss to the Steelers, in which he believes (and is correct, incidentally) that Pittsburgh defenders got away with all kinds of uncalled penalties. So steamed that he’s making nonsensical jokes:...

Actual Body Expert Says Draymond Green's Excuses For Balls-Kicking Don't Hold Up
Draymond Green, whose feet regularly find the sensitive fleshy bits between his opponents’ legs, has taken a pretty self-righteous tack in his response to critics: Green says the people who make the rules for the NBA just don’t get how human bodies work....
The 2016 Hater’s Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog
I was on the Jersey Turnpike when I saw it. I was driving my family to New York for Thanksgiving and there, along the shittiest stretch of road in the shittiest state in America, I saw the Williams-Sonoma fulfillment center: a vast hangar that seemed to stretch a mile long, with shipping containers ...
Tim Tebow's Baseball Career May Be Resurrected This Spring
By pretty much any and every baseball metric, aspiring outfielder Timothy R. Tebow did not have a successful stint in the Arizona Fall League. His .194 batting average (.242 slugging) included 20 strikeouts in 70 plate appearances. But when it comes to attracting interest (guilty) in otherwise mean...
Todd Bowles Forgot To Tell Ryan Fitzpatrick He Was Benched For The Season
After Monday’s blowout loss to the Colts, Jets head coach Todd Bowles told the media that Bryce Petty, who had come on in the third quarter for Ryan Fitzpatrick, would be the team’s starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Bowles said that he made the decision even before the game: “We could...
Jason Pierre-Paul Is Done For The Regular Season, And The Giants Are Going To Miss Him
Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul underwent sports hernia surgery early this morning, and is expected to be out six weeks. That means Pierre-Paul could return for the conference championship, but the Giants’ chances of making it that far without him in the lineup are pretty grim....
Devils And Canucks Brawl Right On Top Of Lifeless Philip Larsen
In the second period of tonight’s Canucks-Devils game, Canucks defenseman Philip Larsen was brutally laid out by a Taylor Hall hit he never saw coming. The Canucks and Devils briefly scuffled before everyone realized that Larsen was immobile at the feet of the scrum. His helmet came off before the f...
Phil Jackson Still Doesn't Get It
Last month, Phil Jackson referred to LeBron James’s group of friends as his “posse,” which angered both LeBron and his business partner and friend Maverick Carter. Both men took specific issue with Jackson’s use of the word and noted the perceived racial undertones of what Jackson said. Whether or n...
Of Course Andrew Bogut Has Bad Pizzagate Takes
A certain subset of the dumbest people alive are riled up over an unbelievably specious conspiracy theory that posits Hillary Clinton and her associates are secretly running a pedophilia and child trafficking ring out of the basement of Comet Ping Pong, a pizza joint in Washington D.C. It’s known as...
This Isn't Even Rock Bottom Yet For The Jets
It was right about when Lachlan Edwards shanked a punt that traveled 36 yards before bouncing out of bounds that Jon Gruden, perpetually optimistic Monday Night Football analyst, had finally seen enough....
This Is How The Warriors Will Destroy The World
In three seconds: two passes thrown, roughly 72 feet of hardwood spanned, zero dribbles taken, and suddenly Kevin Durant has yammed it hard. This season we’ve been blessed by frequent instances of Russ and Giannis singlehandedly wrecking shit on the run, but this, um, heartwarming display of teamwor...
It's Bryce Petty Time
The New York Jets still have four games left to play, but last night’s no-show against the Colts was an effective and fitting end to their season. The Jets are 3-9 now, and whatever combination of luck and competence that got them to a 10-6 record last season is nowhere to be found....
