Paul George Is Everything The Thunder Need Him To Be

The Scale Of The Olympics Is Staggering
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — The Olympics haven’t even started yet and already I’m sure that I underestimated their sheer scale.

Mohamed Salah Is No Lionel Messi, But He Might Just Be The Next Best Thing
It would make sense if this fact had eluded you, but in between contentious referee decisions there was actually a hell of a game of soccer played at Anfield yesterday between Liverpool and Tottenham.

Jeff Fisher Must Be Arrested And Tried For His Crimes Against Football

How An NFL Contract Negotiation Goes Down
NEW ORLEANS — Back and forth they went, both sides snapping off data points and counterpoints in a careful effort to leverage whatever they had. They were so into the task at hand that neither the thunderclaps from outside nor the 10-minute warning could interrupt their banter. They were teams of la...
Steve Kerr Accidentally Sent A Tweet Criticizing The NBA Because He Was Foiled By Technology
Last night, Warriors coach Steve Kerr replied to an NBA tweet that featured a video of James Harden hitting a three-pointer (and appearing to travel, though the egregious gather move is technically legal). He deleted his take within seconds, but that was far too late....

What If <i>The Purge</i>, But For Goalie Interference<em></em>
Every sport has its catch rule, a point of controversy with rules so vague or arcane or reliant on human judgment that fans, players, and even referees can have trouble defining it.
