ESPN Broadcasters: ESPN's Reporting Is Bad
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne dropped a big piece on New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson’s handling of the season.

Juve's Loss Ensures England Holds Onto Its Fourth Champions League Spot, For Now

NFL Official Admits For First Time There Is "Certainly" A Link Between Football And CTE
A top NFL official acknowledged for the first time a link between playing football and suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), responding, “the answer to that question is certainly yes” when asked if there is a link.

Chris Cooley Has A Whole Bunch Of Thoughts On RGIII
Four years ago today, Washington agreed to send three first-round picks and a second-rounder to St. Louis for the right to move up to draft Robert Griffin III. Today, Griffin is a free agent, and the man the Skins selected on the third day of that draft is their QB and set to make $20 million....
Boston College Senior Has Just The Saddest Favorite College Basketball Memory
Boston College ended their basketball season by getting routed 88-66 by Florida State in the first round of the ACC tournament. The Eagles went just 7-25 this year, including an unfathomable 0-19 in conference play, the first team to go winless in the ACC since the post-Len Bias Maryland Terrapins....
Radio Announcer Ejected From College Basketball Game For Vigorous Gesturing
On Monday the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay knocked off Valparaiso 99-92 in overtime to advance to the final of the Horizon League tournament.

Jaromir Jagr Gave Up His 10 Cups Of Coffee Per Day For Lent
I am starting to think that Jaromir Jagr has an unhealthy relationship with caffeine. Long known as a militant Diet Coke drinker—at least five a day, “no vitamins, nothing”—Jagr this year switched to coffee, and upped his intake to what for a normal human would be a frightening quantity of the stuff...
Marvin Harrison Is Sick Of Terrell Owens's "Bullshit" Whining About The Hall Of Fame
Terrell Owens is still talking about being snubbed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and he’s got a point. He should be a shoo-in, but the HOF election procedures are messed up, and there’s a wide receiver logjam at the top that’s going to make guys like Owens wait longer than they should. Owens sa...
The Connor McDavid-Jack Eichel Rivalry Is Officially On, Even If Neither Will Admit It
Everyone on both teams was trying to downplay Connor McDavid vs. Jack Eichel, the No. 1 pick vs. the No. 2 pick, two potentially generational talents who have so far been every bit as good as advertised. They were lying to themselves, and it only took 22 seconds from puck drop for them to be proved ...
Rice Pitcher Blake Fox Is Sly
College baseball, as much as we love it, embraces some of the sport’s worst elements: repeated bunting and pickoff attempts. At least Rice pitcher Blake Fox has an interesting approach to the latter, as his fifth-inning attempt to pick off a Ragin’ Cajuns runner used a very unconventional and, dare ...

How The Spanish Economic Crisis Might Force Alberto Contador To Retire
Alberto Contador is the greatest stage racer of his generation. Even after getting stripped of the 2010 Tour de France and the 2011 Giro d’Italia, he has the fourth-most Grand Tour wins in cycling history, and he’s the third cyclist ever to win the Giro and the Vuelta a España in the same year.
