We know that Kevin Durant can ball, and it's a tribute to his ability that he's still able to astound us with a performance like his 66-point game at Rucker on Monday night. We would not immediately predict, however, that Stan Van Gundy has real handle. Only handles....
11-Year-Old Is The Best Broadcaster The Mets Have Ever Had
Young Jacob Resnick got to call Jose Reyes' first-pitch home run last night (and stick around for the eventual Mets meltdown). He won an essay contest and an audition, and we see why he won. He's genuinely excited by the game he's calling, a trait all-too-often absent in our current crop of commenta...
The Preventable Annual Tradition Of High School Football Deaths
It's that time of year again: when America's high schoolers start dropping dead during football practice.

Rex Ryan Got That Awful Calf Tattoo Because He Believes In Himself
Well, this is a relief. It turns out that Rex Ryan is not any more on the verge of a mental breakdown than he usually is. In fact, he just really believes in himself.

Thankfully, Nyjer Morgan Has Continued Giving Postgame Interviews In Character
Yes, the Brewers have won seven in a row and opened up moderate leads on not-good-enough St. Louis and really-not-good-enough Pittsburgh, but that success isn't the most exciting thing in Milwaukee baseball. Nor is Prince Fielder's contract year or John Axford's mustache or the Yuniesky Betancourt...
Miami Cries Out For A Neckbearded Savior
Lo, the echoing green of Sun Life Stadium. A scrimmage, Dolphin against Dolphin, for the hearts and minds of the Dolphin faithful. And who should presume to represent the faithful, their unshattered, unshaken loyalty, their loyal teal? A leader; a general; a man....
