The Warriors Were No Match For Damian Lillard
Damian Lillard and the Portland Trailblazers put a royal whooping on the Golden State Warriors last night up in Portland. Yes, the Warriors were uncharacteristically sloppy and bad. Sure, they fumbled away 13 turnovers in the third quarter alone, the most in any quarter in any game since 2008. Their...
The Best Track On Kanye West's <i>The Life Of Pablo </i>Is Also, Somehow, The Worst
What the world needs now is a great Kanye West song: no less and please, God, no more. Enough with the delays, the obfuscations, the feuds, the amusing tantrums misidentified as unhinged rants, the legit unmisidentifiable social-media disasters. It’s exhausting. He’s exhausting. We’re exhausted. To ...
Ryan McDonagh Suffers Another Head Injury On Cheap Shot From Leo Komarov
Ryan McDonagh, the Rangers’ captain and best defenseman, could miss more time after taking an elbow to the head from Toronto’s Leo Komarov and leaving the game—just 12 days after suffering another concussion....
Yankees COO Defends New Ticketing Policy Like A True Rich Asshole
A lot of fans are understandably angry at the Yankees’ latest attempt to deny people who want to attend their games the opportunity to buy tickets in a fair market. Today, the team sent chief operating officer Lonn Trost to WFAN so that he could try and quell some of the discontent. He did not help....

Jerod Mayo Retires At Age 29
Jerod Mayo was probably not going to be a Patriot next season, at least not at his current salary. The linebacker has missed the ends of the last three seasons with injuries, and carried the team’s second biggest cap hit behind Tom Brady, and the Pats were expected to release him or demand a signifi...
You Should Be A Middle Reliever
Kanye West dropped a new album this weekend, and also tweeted a bunch of weird stuff about how much he is in debt....
Report: TMZ Paid Around $100,000 For The Ray Rice Tapes
Today, the New Yorker published its long-awaited (in media circles, at least) deep dive into how gossip juggernaut TMZ does business. There’s plenty of information to pick through, but the details of how TMZ obtained videos of Ray Rice’s assault on his wife Janay should be of particular interest to ...
Jason Pierre-Paul Shares X-Ray Of His Hand
Just in case you thought those images of Jason Pierre-Paul’s right hand, mangled in a fireworks accident, were just a bit of Rick Baker prosthetic magic, nope. Pierre-Paul has changed his avatar on Twitter and Instagram to the above X-ray, and you can see just how fucked up those fingers are....
The Warriors May Have No Bigger Fan Than Gregg Popovich
All-Star Weekend is a good breather from one of the least up-for-grabs NBA seasons in recent memory. If we want to be honest with ourselves, there are only three teams with realistic title hopes. And if we want to be really honest, the Cavs probably can’t hang with the West’s best—there are only two...
Here's Stephen Curry's Half-Court Shot To End The All-Star Game That TNT Didn't Show
TNT was stuck on a shot of Kobe Bryant when Stephen Curry decided to heave up a half-courter to close out the All-Star Game, so you didn’t see it on TV. Here’s that shot....
Cricket Guy Somersaults In Mid-Air To Make Beautiful Catch
Corey Anderson is a bowler for New Zealand’s cricket team, and also apparently a future stunt double for action movies. This is like when pitchers catch line drives hit right back at them, only with an order of magnitude more swagger. I have to agree with our lovely-accented commentator here: that w...
Here, Watch Steph Curry, Michelle Obama, And Ayesha Curry Do A Dubsmash Rendition Of "Barbara Ann"
When the Warriors went to the White House last week, there were some good Obama burns, a passable Steph Curry impression, and three very famous people covering the most annoying Beach Boys song as a trio of demon chipmunks....

Kevin Hart Accidentally Tied Draymond Green In A Three-Point Competition
Tonight’s gag three-point competition between the Warriors’ Draymond Green and actor Kevin Hart was supposed to end with Green crushing Hart, taking home a giant trophy while his non-athlete opponent went home with a participation ribbon. What nobody planned on was Hart actually beating tying Green—...
High School Ref Says Hockey Dad Beat Him Up After He Ejected His Son And Wife
Last weekend, Howell High School and Manalapan High School played to a 1-1 tie in boys hockey at Howell Ice World.
