DA Admits He Let Alabama Football Players Off Easy Because They Played Football
A little over a month ago, Alabama teammates Cameron Robinson and Laurence Jones were arrested in Louisiana after police found them with a bunch of weed and a pair of guns, one of which was stolen.

RGIII Called Out For Ripping Off Cavs' Photo [Update]

This morning, he tweeted his congratulations to the Cavaliers for beating the Warriors and winning Cleveland’s first championship in 52 years, a wort...
LeBron's Block Still Doesn't Seem Possible
A lot of incredible, spectacular shit went into Game 7. The balance of all this shit tilted slightly in favor of the Cavs, and that was always going to be the case in any scenario that had the Cavs actually winning—in a strictly player-for-player accounting, they are very clearly less good than the ...
<i>Game Of Thrones</i> Took Us To Hell
Game of Thrones is a show that wallows. Through the course of six seasons, the camera has gleefully lingered on a pre-teen being burnt alive by her parents, the only fun-having man in King’s Landing getting his skull popped like a piece of bubble wrap, a pregnant woman and her baby getting stabbed t...

The Maple Leafs Got A Goalie
It’s Frederik Andersen, late of the Ducks. The Leafs announced the deal today, the 26-year-old Danish netminder in exchange for a 2016 first-rounder (the Penguins’ pick, 30th overall, acquired in the Phil Kessel trade) and a second-rounder next year. Seems like a fine deal for both teams....
Draymond Green Was So Damn Good Last Night
Glancing at a box score from last night’s game, it is actually sort of incredible that the Warriors only lost by four. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for just 31 points on a ghastly 36 shots, Harrison Barnes was 3-of-10, and the injured Andrew Bogut didn’t play. And then you get to Draymon...
LeBron Had More Important Things To Do With His Shirt And Hat Than To Promote Nike
Yes, J.R. Smith is still shirtless from his night in Vegas, but look away from his booze-glazed torso for a second and focus on LeBron James. Here’s the hero of the Finals, at the moment he literally brings home the trophy Cleveland has been awaiting since before he was born. And he’s wearing—well, ...
Warriors Fans Are Herbs
I’ve been thinking about this all season long, and now that it’s over it’s just time to say it: Warriors fans are herbs....
Swiss Player On Team's Easily Ripped Shirts: "I Hope Puma Does Not Produce Condoms"

Kyrie Irving Was The Best Version Of Himself Last Night
For as nearly as basketball realizes the ideals of an individual sport—due to the outsized impact a single transcendent player can have on his team’s fortunes and the fact that opposing greats can and often do line up right across from each other to test the potency of their powers in direct opposit...
Richard Jefferson Says He Owes His Career To LeBron James
Over his approximately 67-year basketball career, Richard Jefferson has failed a lot. But as a minor contributor in Cleveland, he has finally achieved ultimate competitive glory. And he’s not afraid to give credit where it’s due....
LeBron Says He Was Motivated By Some Hurtful Parting Words In Miami
One of the running subplots of the 2015 Finals was LeBron James’s reference to a “secret motivation” driving him—something he shared with teammates, and even with Dwyane Wade, but refused to reveal to the public until he won a championship in Cleveland. He didn’t win last year, but that motivation r...
Kevin Love Is A Goddamn Hero
The Warriors knew exactly which matchup they wanted, after Kyrie went Steph in Steph’s face to put the Cavaliers up three with less than a minute to play in last night’s mind-blowing Game 7. They didn’t call a timeout to talk about it. They didn’t give Tyronn Lue a chance to make a substitution. The...
The Cavs Went To Vegas And J.R. Smith Dumped Champagne On A Woman
Before the Cleveland Cavaliers took their championship back to Ohio, they stopped in Las Vegas to celebrate. Alcohol was spilled....
The Golden State Warriors Were Finally Figured Out
Over the past two seasons, Golden State had both a gear no other team possessed, and destructive weapons no other team could stop. But increasingly throughout the playoffs, and especially during Game 7, the Warriors couldn’t find them....
