This Long Range Blast Will Be Côte d'Ivoire's One Good World Cup Memory
This Côte d’Ivoire team got hammered by Germany, gave up three goals to Thailand, only avoided a repeat beatdown at the hands Norway today on account of some sorry finishing, and will soon return home from their first World Cup thanks to their fourth-place group finish. But hey, Ange N’Guessan did b...

Steph Curry Stinkface Shows He Always Chooses Luigi In <i>Mario Kart</i>
Stephen Curry brought some of the swagger back during last night’s Game 5 win against the Cavaliers, at one point delivering the stinkface following a fourth-quarter contested three-pointer—a shot that responded to LeBron’s long-range bomb seconds before, and one that gave the Warriors the lead for ...
Here Is Another Picture Of Timofey Mozgov For Us To Cherish
At first glance, this picture of Timofey Mozgov doesn’t seem like much. It’s from his Facebook page, and comes with the caption “With my Russian agents (ProTeam Agency). Before the game,” which doesn’t signal anything special, but then you notice Mozgov’s SpongeBob shirt. And then you remember that ...
For The Undermanned Cavaliers, Fatigue Has Set In
What the hell else are the Cavaliers supposed to do? In Game 5 they conceded that the Warriors’s small ball unit was too good, and barely played Timofey Mozgov. LeBron James went off for a monster 40 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists (and only two turnovers). J.R. Smith finally (at least for awhil...
Jack Wilshere Hammers Home Equalizer For England [UPDATE: And Again!]
England unexpectedly found themselves down 1-0 to Slovenia after Milivoje Novakovic’s first half goal snuck past Joe Hart, but Arsenal star Jack Wilshere brought The Three Lions back when he ripped a strike from outside the penalty area that Samir Handanović could only get a finger on....

Marcos Pizzelli Shocks Portugal With 35-Yard Screamer
Armenia opened the scoring of their Euro 2016 qualifier against Portugal with an early golazo from Marcos Pizzelli, who landed a 35-yard free kick that left Rui Patricio helpless. It would have made Ronaldo smile, had it not been against his own squad....
Bear To Leaves: "Come Here, Stupid Leaves"
Sometimes life is a fucker and tries to deny you the things you want. Things like financial security, a good metabolism, or, in the case of this moon bear, some tasty leaves. Don’t let life do you like that. Get the leaves....
Who Was Andre Iguodala Trolling Last Night?
Andre Iguodala played a hell of a game last night, scoring 22 points as a key component of the Warriors’ deadly small-ball unit. He also sprinkled some not-so-subtle trolling into his performance late in the third quarter....

What Last Year's Spurs Taught The Warriors About Beating LeBron
The Warriors “unstoppable” small lineup is rightly getting credit for luring Cleveland into the faster-paced shootout Golden State always wanted to play. But who gets credit for starting Andre Iguodala for Andrew Bogut? Steve Kerr is willing to give it all to a 28-year-old he calls his “chief of sta...
Are The Warriors Just Too Deep For The Cavs? (Probably)
Even before Kyrie Irving was injured, the Cavaliers bench more closely resembled a basketball old folks home than something that could actually help a team in 2015. Kendrick Perkins? Brendan Haywood? Shawn Marion? Mike Miller? I’m not even sure who Joe Harris is....

RIP Ornette Coleman, Who Confounded Most People And Humbled Us All
“There is a law in what I’m playing, but that law is a law that when you get tired of it, you can change it.” So said incomparable musical innovator Ornette Coleman, who died this morning at the age of 85, and while his career was full of these kinds of delightfully cryptic remarks, few unpack his s...
