What The Hell Has Miley Cyrus Done To This Michael Jordan Jersey?

Mr. Big Stuff (Who Do You Think You Are?)
Another good Reggie story. This one if from Foul Ball: Five Years in the American League, by Alison Gordon, who covered the Blue Jays from 1979-83. Gordon describes herself as “a socialist, feminist, hedonist with roots in the sixties, a woman who had marched against the bomb, done drugs, and never,...
This Fan Caught Four Foul Balls In One Game
The best part about this is that Greg Van Niel is not a ballhawk, that execrable subspecies who attend games solely for the purpose of collecting baseballs. Van Niel's just a regular fan, who happened to be sitting in the exact right spot to get four foul balls yesterday, all by the fifth inning....
You'll Never Get A Foul Ball Easier Than This One

Pirates Fan With Giant Novelty Glove Catches Foul Ball
They say you are supposed to stop bringing your glove to the park when you're an adult, but they never say anything about not bringing your giant-ass novelty glove with you. This wonderful Pirates fan—grown man that he is—chose to exploit that loophole at last night's Cardinals-Pirates game, and the...

Saunders will go on the DL ...
Taking A Charge Is Just The Worst
With 20 seconds left and Syracuse down two, Brandon Triche drove the lane and dropped off a sort of wild layup as Jordan Morgan slid underneath him. Triche was called for an offensive foul and Michigan got the ball back and eventually won the game. It did not decide the game so much as make a Michig...

The Best (Or Maybe Worst) NBA Rule-Change Idea You'll Ever Hear
I was in New York on business last week (as much as what I do can be called "business" with a straight face) and I was working out of this office building downtown one morning when I had to go take a shit. So I grabbed my guest pass, beeped my way through a set of hallway doors (I always pretend I'm...
Struggling Wisconsin Player Resorts To Jumpshot Free Throws
There was a time when Wisconsin guard/forward Ryan Evans wasn't the sort of shooter who'd have trouble standing on a dock and tossing a ball into Lake Mendota. He shot 73 percent from the line last year, 81 percent in conference play. But the yips overtook him this season, and going into last nigh...

Amir Johnson Took 3.5 Seconds Between Dribbles, And Did Not Get Called For A Double Dribble
It's sort of inexplicable how Toronto's Amir Johnson was able to get away with this. He takes the pass, dribbles to just outside the lane, picks up his dribble, pump fakes, pump fakes, and drives for a short jumper. By the game clock, it took him nearly four full seconds between putting the ball o...
Dwyane Wade Kicked Ramon Sessions In The Nuts
It's easy to still think of Dwyane Wade as the reckless, wide-eyed young star who led Miami to the 2006 title. But he's almost 31 now, a wily veteran with a bag of tricks—like straight kicking an opponent in the groin and playing it off like an accident....
Kevin Garnett Wants To Know Why Gerald Wallace Is All Up On His Shorts
Given the pushing and shoving and tetanus shots the last time the Nets and Celtics met, you had to figure yesterday's meeting in Brooklyn wouldn't be played without at least some shenanigans. A Christmas miracle!—Kevin Garnett was involved....
LeBron James Has Committed Two Fouls In His Last 299 Minutes Of Court Time
If you've played even rec-league basketbal, you know that desperate, flailing fouls are often the last resort of an overmatched defender. Despite an arsenal of chase-down blocks and consistent efforts to lock up the other team's best player, LeBron James essentially never finds himself in that posit...
What Exactly Did LeBron James Do To Earn A Technical Here?
Poor LeBron, never getting the calls, always being targeted by the refs. But that's life in bizarro preseason, where the Raptors are 5-1, the Lakers are 0-6, and the Bobcats get every whistle against the Heat....
