J.R. Smith's Daughter Burns Him On National Television
Aside from a 20-pointer in Game 5, J.R. Smith hasn’t really shown up in these NBA Finals. That’s okay! His daughter is proud of him anyway. Why’s that? Because he made it this far into the season without getting kicked off the team....
Gigi Buffon Busts His Ass Celebrating Italy's Win
Careful, old man. Your back at 38 isn’t as resilient as it was at 18. Here’s a couple more angles of Buffon’s fall:...
Shaun Livingston Throws It Down

Draymond Green Is An Asshole
“Golden State’s reliance on an unstable isotope is a high-stakes gamble that has finally blown up in their face,” FreeDarko founder Bethlehem Shoals writes for GQ re: Draymond Green’s Game 5 suspension for whacking LeBron James in the dick and balls. “The degree to which Golden State depends on Gree...
Where Can The Sharks Go From Here?
The pessimists’ view—the Sharks fan’s view, perhaps, by this point—is that after all this, after two fantastic months, San Jose merely found a brand new form of dickpunch. They’ve lost every other way before, in every other round, but not until 2016 did the Sharks and their fans discover what it’s l...
The Penguins Get The Cup They Deserved
Way back at the start of the season—2015 feels like forever ago—the Penguins were mediocre, slumping, solidly midtable, unable to score. They had top-level talent, the knock went, but were mortally lacking in depth. Mike Sullivan was coaching the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins; Matt Murray was...
Watch <i>Hockey Night In Canada's </i>NHL Season-Ending Montage
One of the best moments in sports media every season is the Hockey Night in Canada season-ending montage—an event that takes at least a bit of the edge of sadness off about the season being, you know, over. While the video lacks the shine we saw back when it was produced by CBC, it’s still a must-wa...
Pittsburgh Penguins Win Stanley Cup
The Pittsburgh Penguins claimed their fourth Stanley Cup tonight with a 3-1 win in San Jose, led again by a defense that mostly kept the Sharks from generating meaningful opportunities. ...

Draymond Green's Dick Punch Has Earned Him A Suspension From Game 5
Per a release from the NBA, Draymond Green will miss tomorrow night’s Game 5 for accruing four flagrant foul points over the course of the playoffs. The NBA reviewed Green’s swipe at LeBron James’ dick and balls and determined that it warranted a flagrant foul. James was also assessed a technical fo...
What Are Your Favorite Official Team Anthems?
Spain released their official Euro 2016 song, and it’s everything you could possibly hope for. It’s catchy as all hell—I’ve been singing España ey ey, cantamos gol gol to myself all day—features a verse sung by the heavily Andalusian-accented Sergio Ramos, and as a bonus both Pique and Juanfran look...
Meanwhile, An Update On Draymond Green
Draymond “The Sterilizer” Green helped his team’s cause en route to the Warriors’ win tonight in Game 4....
Jeff Van Gundy Tells Incredible O.J. Simpson Chase Story
After seeing a promo for ESPN’s upcoming O.J. Simpson documentary, Jeff Van Gundy decided the time was right to tell an incredible story about the O.J. Simpson white Bronco chase, one that he and Pat Riley apparently held onto for two decades. I don’t know that I believe it, but I desperately want t...
Martin Jones Saved The Sharks
Here’s something I wasn’t sure we’d see in these Finals, and I definitely didn’t think we’d see after he gave back two goals just five minutes in: a Martin Jones game....
Pittsburgh Jinxes the Penguins, Rounds Up Couches So Hockey Fans Can't Burn Them
Five years ago, the Vancouver Canucks boned up a Game 7 at home and the city of Vancouver responded with a massive riot. The riot resulted in five million Canadian dollars of property damage and also a fantastic photo of a couple taking a break from burning stuff to make out in the street. The City ...
What's Wrong With The Warriors? Nothing, Chill The Hell Out.
The Warriors are plenty easy to dislike. There’s Draymond. There’s the techno-libertarian scum that’s (unfairly) come to represent them. There are the moving screens. There’s Kevin Draper. There’s all the winning, which, in an NBA postseason that really hasn’t had more than a handful of entertaining...
The Cavs Knocked The Stuffing Out Of The Warriors, And We Got Ourselves A Series
The most spectacular play LeBron James made tonight was his pogo-stick leap up to grab a stray Kyrie Irving alley-oop, but if there’s one particular play that embodied the overwhelming beatdown the Cavaliers administered upon the heads of the Warriors, it was one that didn’t even count. Towards the ...
