Cavs Lose Again As LeBron Fumbles Game Away
What, you thought LeBron James would hit a game-winning three to beat the Spurs tonight in Cleveland? Nah, nah. You must be thinking of the LeBron James who used to play for the Cavs....
NBA Suspends Jeffery Taylor 24 Games For Domestic Assault, Shades NFL
The NBA announced in a memo Wednesday evening that Hornets small forward Jeffery Taylor had been given a 24-game unpaid suspension, after he pleaded guilty in late October to misdemeanor domestic violence assault. He was sentenced to 18 months probation. Taylor was arrested in September, and the...
Six HS Football Players Suspected Of Raping Girl In Woods Near School
Six Winter Springs High (Winter Springs, Fla.) football players have been arrested and charged with sexual battery and false imprisonment after allegedly raping a 16-year-old student in the woods near the school. ...
Bret Hart On The Montreal Screwjob: "I Would Have Choked Shawn Out"
In 1997, Bret Hart was preparing to leave the WWF for WCW, but he still held the title. So Vince McMahon, opponent Shawn Michaels, and referee Earl Hebner conspired to call a their Survivor Series match early and get the belt off Hart, the titular "screwjob." In a long interview with SI.com, Hart re...
Principal: "Nothing Racial" About Powderpuff Team Wearing Blackface
A group of students at Sullivan High School (Mo.) wore blackface for their Nov. 5 powderpuff football game. That's bad enough. The quote from school principal Jennifer Schmidt, who described her reaction after seeing the blackface, makes it worse. From the Riverfront Times:...
Tiger Woods, In His Own Words
So Tiger Woods is all bent out of shape about a satirical piece Dan Jenkins wrote in Golf Digest. We think Woods is a hollowed-out dummy who long ago ceased to be a human being, but we do agree with part of his criticism of Jenkins. The "fake interview" conceit is just fine, but Jenkins shouldn't ha...
The Bills Are Planning To Play On Sunday Despite Being Relocated To Hoth
The bands of lake effect snow that have buried Western New York are not done—another couple of feet will fall tomorrow, meaning parts of the region will be covered in up to eight feet of snow. There's a football game scheduled for Orchard Park on Sunday, and the Bills are going to do everything ...
This Coffee Milk Stout Is The Pride Of New England
A couple of months ago, Business Wire reported that Pabst was on the verge of being sold to a Russian beverage company. My initial reaction was, "There's gotta be a good Putin-hipster-gulag joke in here somewhere," followed by apathy when I realized that you can't make a good joke about a society ...
Sequel Fatigue: <em>The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1</em>, Reviewed
I've now seen three Hunger Games films, and I feel confident saying that eventually, something is finally going to happen in one of them. There's been no shortage of incidents—action scenes, plot twists, emotional moments—but what's strange about this series is that everything always seems to ...
What Did RG3 Say That Peyton Manning Hasn't?
In terms of RG3 takes, it appears we're not quite out of the woods. The quarterback's comments after Washington's pratfall against Tampa Bay—in which he more or less said football is a team effort—gave everyone the opportunity to take a swing at the already-half-broken piñata. Here's one more bad ta...
Melvin Gordon Could Break The Heisman's Quarterback Streak
Melvin Gordon's record-breaking shitstomping of Nebraska made it clear this season is the best chance a running back has had at the Heisman in years. Gordon's only the second player to reach 1,900 yards through 10 games since 2000. And his yards per attempt are 2.8 yards better than the other back t...
<em>Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways</em> Is The So-So Rock Doc Generation X Deserves
First thing's first: Dave Grohl appears to be a Very Nice Guy. Just about every bitch and barb I'm going to throw at the Foo Fighters leader and his band's new album/reality show, Sonic Highways, could be met with a hearty "What's so bad about that?" In the nearly 15 years since Veruca Salt accuse...
Let Jaden Smith Live, Though Maybe Don't Let Him Rap
So on account of this bonkers T Magazine joint interview with his equally loopy sister, my colleagues have spent the better part of the week uncouthly debating the merits of one Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada, brother of Willow, shaky actor, convulsing rapper, amateur philosopher ("There's a th...
Lindsey Vonn Is Just As Dumb And Humorless As Her Boyfriend Tiger Woods
Yesterday at The Players' Tribune, "Tiger Woods" "wrote" the dumbest fucking thing in response to a satirical, obviously fake piece that ran in a recent issue of Golf Digest. All Woods's blockheaded complaint did was alert the world to how much of a dense, robotic dolt he is, and now his girlfriend,...
Emmanuel Sanders Partied In Heaven With All The Ladies
After getting absolutely crushed on a scary play during Sunday's game against the Rams, Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders fell victim to a Wikipedia prankster who edited the page to say that Sanders had died. The wideout caught wind of this, and he responded with a well-struck "Hi haters."...
4 To 6 Weeks, My Ass: Why NFL Injury Estimates Are Bullshit
Not long after Robert Griffin III hobbled out of Week 2 with an ankle injury, the team and the media went into their usual casualty-reporting routine. First was the wait for the diagnosis, which arrived the next day—a dislocated left ankle. Then came the dissemination of the team's early timetable...
Here's Fred Jackson Tossing His Kids Into A Big Pile Of Buffalo Snow
Tuesdays are off days for NFL players, and days that include the onset of a storm that will bring sixish feet of snow are snow days for kids. With that coincidence in mind, here's Fred Jackson being a fun dad and tossing his kids in some bigass piles of snow. ...
Where Were You For "Malice At The Palace?"
It was 10 years ago tonight that the Pacers and Pistons came to blows, sparking the strangest, scariest, and still, today, the most improbable NBA happening of our lives. Players fighting fans in the stands; fans fighting players on the court. It was unforgettable....
Marshawn Lynch Drove To A Guy's House To Return His Wallet
A guy named Jason Lynch (no relation to Marshawn) posted a story on his Facebook page in which Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch comes off as a real swell guy. Take it away, Jason:...
Kansas Coach Bill Self Takes 32-Point Beatdown With Humor
Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks were the fifth ranked team in the country going into Tuesday night's matchup against Kentucky, but they won't be for much longer after getting whooped 72-40. Kentucky is most people's preseason pick to be the NCAA Champion, and they certainly looked the part as their le...
