High School Team Inbounds While Up Two With 0.6 Seconds Left, Loses
Wayne High School (Neb.) took on Dakota Valley High School (SD) in a non-conference match-up Friday, and the game featured a finish so wild it would make John Havlicek blush. Down three with under ten seconds left, Wayne's Ben Hoskins hit a three to send the game to overtime. That's when things ...
Here's Martin Luther King Jr. Telling A Joke On <i>The Tonight Show</i>
OK, it's not a good joke, but the man was busy. It was Feb. 8, 1968, and Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference were in the thick of planning the Poor People's Campaign, which would culminate in a tent city going up on the Mall in Washington. It was also just two mon...
Dunking On Pau Gasol Is Fun
Nikola Vucevic's dunk on Pau Gasol reminded me of the time Blake Griffin ruined Pau twice in one game. Dunks are so much better/funnier when the guy getting dunked on falls over....

Kirk Cousins: If RGIII's The Starter, I Want Out
With so many crap teams hitting the reset button today, you may have briefly forgotten about Washington, the kings of dysfunction. Well, here's your reminder: they're still a mess, and they're content to come back with the same coach and GM. But it seems they're going to need to clear out at least o...
The Photo That Took Surfing Worldwide
The artistry of photographers Ron Stoner and LeRoy Grannis (among others) contributed mightily to the boom in surfing in the 1960s. Their Technicolor spreads of big-wave riders and sun-drenched beaches inspired a generation of Jeff Spicolis to get stoked, and, in turn, helped make surfing a billion-...

Blake Griffin Was His Old Bad-Ass Self Last Night
One of the crappier things about the early part of this NBA season is that for much of it, Blake Griffin hasn't really looked like Blake Griffin. Too many Clippers games have seen Griffin floating around the perimeter, turning in uninspiring performances heavy on the mid-range jumpers and light on t...
Robert Griffin III Might Be The Saddest Man
Don't be fooled by his season-high passer rating yesterday (earned with five snaps in garbage time of Washington's 24-0 loss to St. Louis). Robert Griffin III is broken up inside. Via CBS DC, Washington Post Skins writer Mike Jones recounts what Griffin's been up to since losing the starting QB gig:...

Justin Bieber Tells Blake Griffin About His Ill Go-Kart, Or Some Shit
It wasn't just the Patriots that Justin Bieber was hanging out with in the Clippers' locker room last night. He also got to spend some quality time with Blake Griffin, as seen in the video above. What do you think they are talking about? I bet Justin is telling Blake all about the super fucking ill ...
Nebraska Players Are Pissed At AD Shawn Eichorst For Firing Bo Pelini
Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst fired head football coach Bo Pelini today, and boy, are Huskers players pissed. (Even Nebraska alum Ndamukong Suh is taking shots.) A number of current players aired their grievances through Twitter....
Notorious Finebaum Caller Tammy Joins Iron Bowl Simulcast [UPDATE]
Paul Finebaum's radio show has long had its cast of compelling, crazy, or cretinous callers, and Auburn fan Tammy is one of its most famous. She joined the SEC Network call-in simulcast of tonight's Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa, and let loose with her usual flow of.. words, sort of....
Who Regressed More After His Rookie Year, RG3 Or Charlie Batch?
Since Robert Griffin's spectacular rookie season, there have been an previous few other things to talk about with regard to Washington—especially once he started to regress. Now there's speculation he could be traded. It's obvious his production has declined, but to what extent exactly? Is it as bad...
Say Goodbye To RGIII In Washington
We have, unless and until Colt McCoy gets hurt, almost certainly seen the last of Robert Griffin III in burgundy and gold. Now benched for two different backups to end two consecutive seasons, there is nothing left in D.C. for the former second-overall pick. Not if Jay Gruden remains coach, and give...
Report: RGIII Benched, Colt McCoy To Start Against Indianapolis
Earlier today it seemed Jay Gruden really wanted to bench Robert Griffin III, and according to a report from Adam Schefter (and confirmed by Mike Jones), he's finally done it. Schefter, citing a team source, says that Colt McCoy will be Washington's starting quarterback when they take on Indianapoli...
Man, Jay Gruden Really Wants To Bench RGIII
Last week, Washington coach Jay Gruden apparently won the power struggle with his quarterback for Dan Snyder's favor. On Sunday, Griffin kept the Skins in the game; he didn't do anything particularly well, but he didn't do anything egregious enough to warrant being benched for Colt McCoy. He'd bette...
