Update: Here Are The Official New Clippers Uniforms And Logo
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer went on Conan today, and while there he officially unveiled what he called “the new Clippers logo”. While Ballmer didn’t bring along any jerseys, the logo is the same as what was on mockups that were leaked to Uni Watch back in April. Here is how the new logo will suppos...
This Goal Amandine Henry Just Scored For France Is Three Fire Emoji
Earlier, we talked about how France were beating the crap out of Mexico, because they led 4-0 at the break. They slowed down a little bit in what was looking like a disappointing second half. And then French midfielder Amandine Henry did this....
RIP To Matthew Dellavedova And His Terrible, Beautiful Lob Passes
For a minute there, it looked like Matthew Dellavedova, little try-hard that he is, was going to become a Finals hero for the Cleveland Cavaliers. That didn’t really work out, but that’s not to say that Delly didn’t provide us with a great deal of entertainment, because oh man did this guy do some h...
IPA Is Still The King Of Beers
In these fractious times, when we can’t even agree on what constitutes a sandwich (hot dogs are not sandwiches, because if you ate three sandwiches in one sitting, all existing and several future generations of your family would disown you on the spot, you gross monster) or who the MVP of the NBA Fi...
An Illicit Tour Of The New Vikings Stadium
The Vikings’ new billion-dollar stadium is little more than a year from opening, and feels much further away. Bulldozers work upon the patch of broken earth that will eventually become a football field. Its upper deck levels are nothing but giant, bare, staircase-like concrete slabs and along every ...

Who Leaked The Astros' Hacked Data, And Why?
Of the many unanswered questions that promise to make the hacking of the Houston Astros’ “Ground Control” database an extended, spectacular scandal, the most obvious one is also the least explicable: why would someone with illegal access to secret, proprietary information go and leak it?...

Prince Fielder Eats It

Jonathan Bernier Might Leave Toronto, If You Believe His Baby's Onesie
The NHL offseason just started, but a dumb/fun conspiracy has already bloomed: Does Jonathan Bernier’s baby’s onesie hint at him leaving the Maple Leafs?...

From Bay Area Sports Guy comes this fun clip of Warriors backup guard Leandro Barbosa holding court in the postgame locker room. Is he drunk and happy? Hell yeah he’s drunk and happy....
Director Of Terrible FIFA Movie Rues His New Rep As A Propaganda Man
Frédéric Auburtin had the misfortune of directing the colossal flop that was United Passions, the movie about and paid for by FIFA. And while directing an awful movie itself can usually be brushed off pretty easily, the recent scandal has inflicted lasting scars on Auburtin’s reputation, as he expla...
Draymond Green Found His Cockiness And Saved The Warriors
Draymond Green certainly didn’t deserve to win the Finals MVP award (neither did Andre Iguodala, for that matter), but it’s hard to imagine the Warriors putting this series away without his resurgence, which began in Game 4 and ended with last night’s championship-clinching triple-double....
Clint Dempsey Red Carded For Tearing Up Ref's Notebook
The Portland Timbers met the Seattle Sounders last night in the U.S. Open Cup.

MVP Award Be Damned, These Were The LeBron Finals
This is a statistical accomplishment I honestly never considered was even possible: in the NBA Finals, LeBron James led all players on both teams in points, assists, and rebounds. That’s a Finals first—obviously—and in the first two categories, it wasn’t even close. The Warriors won as a team; the C...
Report: Not All Of The Data Hacked From The Astros Was Leaked Publicly
The original New York Times story on the St. Louis Cardinals hacking scandal gives a broad outline of what happened, but as it describes an investigation in process, it is disappointingly light on crucial details like who perpetrated the hacking, when they did it, why they did it, and how exactly it...
J.R. Smith's End-Of-The-Season Handshakes Are Sadder On A Hoverboard
