Reports: Bulls Trade Derrick Rose To Knicks

The Cavs are still out there partying, but the rest of the NBA has already moved on. According to multiple reports, the Chicago Bulls are trading Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks for a haul of players. The former MVP and Chicago native has one year and $21 million left on his contract. ...

Asgard On Earth! Iceland Wield Thor's Hammer And Crush Austria With Last-Minute Goal

It took until the final minute of the final group stage match, but Iceland, the smallest country in the tournament, scored the winning goal against Austria to win a place in the Euro 2016 knockout rounds:...

Cristiano Ronaldo, The Cheekiest Bastard, Is Doing All He Can To Rescue Portugal

This. Goal. Is. Disgusting. Microphone-chucker Cristiano Ronaldo, desperate to deliver Portugal from the group stage of the Euros, kicked in this stupid-good one-time backheel to bring his team back level against Hungary....

Several Good Dogs Attended The Tigers Game

The Detroit Tigers hosted a bunch of far less intimidating critters at their first ever Bark At The Park this evening, and a bunch of nice good doggies attended their first baseball game. Here are some of the best doggos....

Lionel Messi Puts U.S. In The Trash With Incredible Free Kick

The USMNT is currently floundering against the mighty Argentines, who scored an easy dinker after the U.S. defense capitulated en masse, then followed it up with this gorgeous Messi screamer past a flapping Brad Guzan....

The Warriors, Uh, Reportedly Want Dirk Nowitzki

The NBA Finals have come and gone, and it’s now officially NBA silly season, a wonderful time for fake trades to surface, GMs to draft mysterious Surinamese power forwards, and outlandish free agency plots to bloom and die. If you’re a fan of a dogshit team, this is your Christmas. Your team is tota...

The Maple Leafs Got A Goalie

It’s Frederik Andersen, late of the Ducks. The Leafs announced the deal today, the 26-year-old Danish netminder in exchange for a 2016 first-rounder (the Penguins’ pick, 30th overall, acquired in the Phil Kessel trade) and a second-rounder next year. Seems like a fine deal for both teams....

Draymond Green Was So Damn Good Last Night 

Glancing at a box score from last night’s game, it is actually sort of incredible that the Warriors only lost by four. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for just 31 points on a ghastly 36 shots, Harrison Barnes was 3-of-10, and the injured Andrew Bogut didn’t play. And then you get to Draymon...

LeBron Had More Important Things To Do With His Shirt And Hat Than To Promote Nike

Yes, J.R. Smith is still shirtless from his night in Vegas, but look away from his booze-glazed torso for a second and focus on LeBron James. Here’s the hero of the Finals, at the moment he literally brings home the trophy Cleveland has been awaiting since before he was born. And he’s wearing—well, ...

Warriors Fans Are Herbs

I’ve been thinking about this all season long, and now that it’s over it’s just time to say it: Warriors fans are herbs....

Kyrie Irving Was The Best Version Of Himself Last Night

For as nearly as basketball realizes the ideals of an individual sport—due to the outsized impact a single transcendent player can have on his team’s fortunes and the fact that opposing greats can and often do line up right across from each other to test the potency of their powers in direct opposit...

Kevin Love Is A Goddamn Hero

The Warriors knew exactly which matchup they wanted, after Kyrie went Steph in Steph’s face to put the Cavaliers up three with less than a minute to play in last night’s mind-blowing Game 7. They didn’t call a timeout to talk about it. They didn’t give Tyronn Lue a chance to make a substitution. The...

The Golden State Warriors Were Finally Figured Out

Over the past two seasons, Golden State had both a gear no other team possessed, and destructive weapons no other team could stop. But increasingly throughout the playoffs, and especially during Game 7, the Warriors couldn’t find them....

Mozgov Is Champion

Here is a photo of Timofey Mozgov drinking a bottle of rosé, smoking a cigar, eating a brownie, and carrying a WWE “Smoking Skull” championship belt....

Hey Warriors, You Are Choking Shitbags

Today is Cleveland’s day, and I join with the rest of America in obnoxiously glomming onto the city’s moment even though I don’t deserve to. (In fact, I have spent much of the past decade joyously shitting on Cleveland for its miseries … but really, I’m so happy for you now!) Last night was one of t...

What Sporting Event Not Involving Your Team Made You The Happiest?

I’m still high off basketball. Last night I felt like I was on drugs, alternately near tears and euphoric. I think I slept with a huge grin on my face. This is weird, because I do not care about the Cavaliers in the least....

The Moments Mean Everything

It could not have been a better ending, and it could not have been a more incredible path to get there. This is the stuff sports movies are made of, only no movie could possibly provide enough backstory, enough pathos to make the Cavaliers’ championship mean what it does; only real life can give pro...
