Las Vegas Strip Goes Dark For Jerry Tarkanian
Forty hotels and casinos along the Las Vegas strip dimmed their lights for three minutes last night in tribute to the memory of former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian, who passed away on Feb. 11. Reader David sends along this video he shot, as all non-essential lights were turned off upon the end of the...
How Else Did The 49ers Screw Up Their Coaching Search?
Nothing about this Niners offseason, from the inevitable Jim Harbaugh divorce to the awkward promotion of Jim Tomsula, has been easy or painless. The coaching staff was assembled of cast-offs and no-names, and the team was accused of doing everything on the cheap now that it's got that new stadium. ...
Chelsea Is Terrifying, Scores Beautiful Goal After Intricate Buildup
Facing Chelsea is downright horrifying, and Swansea are learning that firsthand today. This is their second goal—Oscar scored in the first minute—and it is a beautiful interplay of passes reminiscent of, dare I say it, peak-Barcelona. Few teams in the world are so stocked with talent to have playe...
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....
Nikola Vucevic Whomps On Pau Gasol's Head With Dunk
Pau Gasol is having his best season in a couple of years, suggesting that his recent demise wasn't about physical ability but the psychic torture that the Mike D'Antoni-Dwight Howard-Old Kobe Bryant-Nick Young Los Angeles Lakers imposed upon him. But one of the cool things about the NBA is that almo...
Hey, Guy, Just Shake Marc Gasol's Hand
After Tuesday night's game against the Hawks, Grizzlies center Marc Gasol was giving daps to fans as he headed into the locker room. One fan did not want any of Gasol's daps, though, and pulled the ol' pull-the-hand-back-and-rub-your-hair handshake prank....
This Is Drunkspin's Favorite Beer Of All Time
You know those brave freedom fighters who were going to finally quit watching football this year on account of all the crimes and all the punishments, the concussions and the corruption, the whole filthy package? I was one of them for a few courageous weeks, but then my favorite team finally got goo...
There Were A Lot Of Buzzer Beaters In the NBA Tonight
Look, the NBA season is too damn long. Even I, an NBA junkie that watches at least 200 games a year, can see that. Too many teams are tanking, too many teams are on energy crippling back-to-backs, and too many teams have injuries to fully showcase 82 games of high-quality basketball. Among the numer...
Runners & Ibuprofen: No Benefit, Could Cause "Colonic Seepage"
If you're like me, one of the main goals during a run is to not shit yourself. But if you're like almost 70 percent of runners, you routinely pop a couple ibuprofen prior to a hard workout or a race as a preemptive strike against soreness. New research suggests you can't have it both ways. ...
This One Guy Has Written Hundreds Of Awful Songs About Sports
Every time you stream a song on Spotify, the artist you're listening to gets some money. A very tiny amount of money. The exact amount varies, but according to a website set up by Spotify—as reported by The Guardian— it's between $0.006 and $0.0084 a stream. And that's just the money that goes t...
Chelsea And Spain Are Locked In A Dumb War Neither Can Win
Even by the standards of dick-measuring contests, the one ongoing between Chelsea and the Spanish national team has been awful for months. At some point, though, this sort of thing stops being merely dumb and threatens to become actually harmful to the players each side should be trying to protect—a...
Derrick Rose Crosses Up Josh Smith, Throws No-Look Dime
When Derrick Rose was at his MVP-best, he used his speed and quickness to ruthlessly attack backpedaling opponents. Just watch people try and fail to stay in front of him in this video from 2011. Even if they knew what he was going to do, few were able to stop it....
Brilliant Goalie Knocks Over Own Net Rather Than Face A 2-On-0
Thirty-year-old David Leggio has never made the big show—but you don't spend that long in the minor leagues without learning a few tricks. In a game yesterday, the netminder for the AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers saw his team turn the puck over at center ice, so he immediately toppled his own net t...

West Virginia beat #4 Baylor today, which means it's time for couch burning and, yes, tear gas....
Chelsea's Brilliant Team Goal Is The Best Of The Season
