GRRM Will Release Pages In 2017, Just Not The Right Ones

Self-professed pages-haver George R.R. Martin recently responded to a comment on his blog about whether The Winds Of Winter, the long-awaited followup to 2011's A Dance With Dragons, will actually come out this year. The penultimate book in the Song Of Ice And Fire series, the source material for H...

Here Are Your NBA All-Star Reserves

I hope you like watching the Warriors play basketball, because both Klay Thompson and Draymond Green made the NBA All-Star game for the second year running. DeAndre Jordan somehow made it over Rudy Gobert, which is a travesty, but at least Handsome Gordon Hayward got in there....

Dion Waiters Put The Warriors In The Trash Can

Last we heard from Dion Waiters, he had just lost $4 million betting on himself in free agency. Tonight, he beat the Warriors with a pair of ballsy threes. He’s the King of Miami now, those are the rules....

Steve Kerr Rips Players For Not Taking Their All-Star Votes Seriously

For the first time in NBA All-Star Game history, players had a chance to vote on the game’s starters. While their choices didn’t diverge terribly from the eventual starters chosen by a coalition of fans, players, and media members, several players who hadn’t played a minute received votes. Fans will...

For the first time, players had a hand in voting for the starters of the NBA All-Star Game, and the NBA released the full results this evening. Of note: they had Isaiah Thomas and Russell Westbrook making it; meanwhile, Quincy Pondexter, Brice Johnson, and a few others who haven’t played at all this...

Here Are Your NBA All-Star Game Starters

For the first time, voting on the starters for the NBA All-Star game was not exclusively left up to fans. While votes from fans still hold the most weight (50 percent), they were on equal footing with the combined votes of the media and the players (25 percent each). This was intended to prevent a K...

I Spent Two Weeks As A True <i>Overwatch</i> Idiot<em></em>

Overwatch, they say, is about teamwork. They’re correct, but what they don’t tell you (because it should be obvious to anyone with a child’s understanding of how video games work) is that you shoot at your opponents, not your teammates. It would appear that I merely have an overgrown baby’s understa...

Atlanta Bar Forced To Apologize To Crybaby Falcons Fans

There is a bar in Atlanta called Park Tavern that will be hosting a pep rally for Packers fans the day before the NFC championship game. The event is being put on by Packers Everywhere, a group that rents out bars and hosts events for Packers fans all across the country. A fanbase taking over a part...

<i>FIFA</i> Player Concedes Just The Dumbest Goal

Once I was playing the FIFA 17 demo and I somehow managed to score an own goal while trying to do a goal kick. That self-own pales in comparison to the goalmouth-scrambler conceded by Reddit user redz615 yesterday. Please enjoy the cinematic sendup that this dumb goal truly deserves....

Here Are Your NHL All-Star Teams 

The All-Star rosters are out, and they’re pretty good because they were chosen by the NHL and not the fans (who did get to vote for the four division captains: Carey Price, Sidney Crosby, P.K. Subban, and Connor McDavid)....

Sorry, Zaza Pachulia Will Not Be An All-Star

The NBA released the first returns for All-Star Game voting earlier today, and in the West, Warriors role player Zaza Pachulia sits second among frontcourt players, behind only Kevin Durant. It’s an especially impressive feat because this year he was seemingly fueled only by love from his homeland, ...

Nate Diaz Figures The UFC Should Pay Him $20 Million To Fight

The UFC is in a bit of a bind. They’d like to book the entertaining Khabib Nurmagomedov in a March fight for one of their multiple lightweight titles, but for stupid reasons they don’t have a good matchup for him right now. MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani texted children’s role model and potential Nurm...

George R.R. Martin Offers Fans A Christmas Present (Not <i>The Winds Of Winter</i>)

Famed no-pages haver George R.R. Martin, author of the popular A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novels on which HBO’s hit sibling-fucking drama Game of Thrones is loosely based, offered up a Christmas treat for fans over on his Not A Blog, which is a blog, today. Was it an announcement that he’ll fina...

Hmmm, Yes, I Am Extremely Into This Game In Which 11,000 Penguins War With 4,000 Santas

Here we have a legitimately captivating video in which the makers of Epic Battle Simulator (video games are good) demonstrate what their game is capable of. This video is eight minutes long, and I watched the whole damn thing:...

Messi And Suárez Return To Japanese Game Show To Do More Wacky Shit

Japanese game shows remain the best exhibitions of crazy soccer skills. ...

MLB All-Star Game Will No Longer Determine World Series Home-Field Advantage

This is emotionally surprising, but true: No major American sport has had labor peace as long as MLB. That peace will extend through at least a 26th year, as the owners and the players’ union agreed last night on the framework of a CBA that will run through the 2021 season....

Dabo Swinney Denies Allegations That His Players Used Racial Slurs

According to South Carolina players, rivalry week allegedly took an ugly, racist turn on Saturday; Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney believes otherwise....

Michigan Does Butt Stuff: Your <i>College GameDay</i> Sign Roundup

College GameDay was an insufferable five hours long today, a duration that allowed for the University of Texas to fire its head coach and hire a new one during the same broadcast. Here are some signs Bucknuts brought to the Oval....

Federal Judge Rejects Chess Federation's Sicilian Defense, Allows Media To Report World Championship Moves<em></em>

I’ve watched most of the World Chess Championships without ever actually witnessing Magnus Carlsen or Sergey Karjakin make a single move. As fun as it would be to watch the two grandmasters squirm and fret while contemplating their moves, you only need to know where each player’s pieces are to follo...

Gifts For People Who Are Sick Of Stupid Party Games

Playing board games at holiday gatherings, parties, or anywhere else should be fun. It usually isn’t, because the most popular party games are awful....
