Pacers Don't Lose To The Knicks In Game 3
The Knicks shot marginally better than the Pacers, but both teams were still in 35 percent field-goals-made territory. The ugliness mercifully ended at 82-71: no one won that game. No one. ...
The Grizzlies Are About To Grizz Past The OKC Kevin Durants
Oklahoma City is looking suspiciously like a team that is going to lose a second-round series. Kevin Durant posted 25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, while Serge Ibaka chipped in 13 points, 10 boards and 4 blocks. And still Memphis ground out an 87-81 win for a 2-1 series lead on an aft...
Jack Butler, The Former Steelers Defensive Great, Has Died At 85
Jack Butler, who was a star defensive back for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the '50s and who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last summer, has died. He was 85....
The Nassau Coliseum Was Not A Dump: What The Isles Are Leaving Behind
In October 2012, a month into the NHL lockout, with the schedule already beginning to crumble, the New York Islanders made a big announcement: Upon expiration of their lease in 2015, the Isles would be leaving the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, their publicly owned home of 40 years, for Brooklyn...
Here's Penn State Coach Bill O'Brien Doing An Impression Of His Mother
Bill O'Brien just concluded a stand-up routine coaches' caravan tour around Pennsylvania. Yesterday, he addressed whether he said "fuckers" or "fighters" on live TV after the Nittany Lions' season-ending win against Wisconsin. Turns out even his mother thought it might not have been "fighters."...
Straight to the Hole (like my man Malik Sealy)
Love this short essay Jeff MacGregor wrote in 2011 about basketball at the West 4th Street courts in Greenwich Village:...
Luol Deng Lost 15 Pounds While He Was In The Hospital
Yesterday, Luol Deng returned to the Chicago Bulls' practice facility for the first time since being laid up in the hospital due to complications from a spinal tap procedure. It sounds like he had a pretty awful time while he was there....
Sidney Crosby Blasts Through Two Defenders For Filthy Breakaway Goal
This play didn't begin as a breakaway. When Sidney Crosby got the puck at center ice, Thomas Hickey was in his way, with Lubomir Visnovsky closing in on Crosby's right. Plenty of room....
This Photo Has Four Great Reaction Images
What is it about Caps-Rangers that brings out the best in the rinkside fans? While none of these quite match the unmitigated ecstasy of this kid, I'm still having a hard time picking my favorite of the four....
Alexander Ovechkin Would Prefer Not To Play Defense
This is Derek Stepan's goal from the third period of last night's Capitals-Rangers game, which put the Rangers up 4-2. It's an impressive play, but not nearly as impressive as Alexander Ovechkin's brief cameo....
This Blues Fan Is Growing The Worst Playoff Beard Ever
And yet, somehow, the weirdest part is that she has a Vladimír Sobotka jersey....
Klay Thompson Does A Damn Good Steph Curry Impersonation
Game 2 goes to Golden State, on the backs of an unconscious Klay Thompson and some crucial makes from Steph Curry. If not for a once-in-a-decade San Antonio comeback, they would be up 2-0. They should be. But the what-ifs don't matter if one what-if is legit—if the Warriors, on the strength of their...
Billy Bush Was Kicked Out Of The Rangers Locker Room Tonight
Billy Bush is a thing with a face that is on television. A Current Affair, or something like that. Anyway, he was apparently at the Rangers game this evening—a game the Rangers won 4-3, tying the series at two games apiece—and pissed off a bunch of the local scribes when he brought the circus to the...
Toronto Maple Leafs Lose, WAGs Exchange Death Eyes
This may take a bit of explaining, but stick with us, it is the best. The blonde to the right there is Hockey Queen Elisha Cuthbert. She is currently engaged to Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf. The brunette sitting one row below is married to Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer. Both men were invol...
Toronto's Mark Fraser Takes Puck To The Face
With about 12 minutes remaining in the third period of Game 4 against the Bruins, Toronto defenseman Mark Fraser was hit directly in the head with a puck....
Mike Woodson To J.R. Smith: "J.R., Goddammit!"
Everything about this clip is wonderful, and if J.R. Smith somehow makes it to the Hall of Fame one day, it should submitted to the hall in lieu of a plaque....
Texas Tech Coach Kliff Kingsbury's Hashtag Game Is So On Point
Kliff Kingsbury continues to be the swaggiest swag bro to ever coach Division I college football. When he's not swaggin' all around the practice field with his players, he's leaving them cheeky notes with valuable fitness tips. Also, hashtags. ...
Kris Letang Cross-Checked A Linesman. That's A Suspension...Right?
Between Eric Gryba getting two games for a borderline hit that resulted in injury, and nobody from this Sens-Habs mess being punished, NHL playoff discipline seems even more "spin the wheel" than usual. But shoving an official would seem pretty clear-cut, no?...
Kevin Durant's Crossover And Slam: Completely Unfair
Why can a 6-foot-11 guy with unlimited shooting range also dance by his opponent with a filthy crossover at the top of the key before gliding into the paint for a monster dunk? Because, as we've said before, Kevin Durant is more of a walking cheat code than he is a basketball player. That's really ...
The Memphis Grizzlies Beat The OKC Thunder To Tie Series 1-1
Short the injured Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant was able to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a game one victory against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals. Today he did all he could to repeat his feat. He finished with 36 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, but it wasn't e...
