Once Again, God Bless Evan Turner, Who Is Never Not Feeling Himself

#DaddySworeAnOath Is The Best Way To Mock Those Oregon Dinguses
Out of all the jamokes currently attending the Guns ’N Camo sleepaway camp in a remote and unspectacular administrative building in Oregon, the guy in the video above might be the jamokiest. Click play, and you’ll see Jon Ritzheimer tearfully inform his children that he won’t be home for awhile beca...
Brian Urlacher Got Hair
Former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher used to be bald, but he recently got hair. Look at his nice hair. Wow, that hair’s really nice....
Kanye West's New Song Is So Bullshit
I’ve been a Kanye West stan since high school. I’m on record as saying he has like 18 perfect songs. I’ve dressed up as Kanye for Halloween, twice. I’ve publicly hailed “All Day” as an unmatched sonic triumph even though I know it’s just okay. 808s & Heartbreak made me cry, and My Beautiful Dark Twi...
Dan Haren Opens Up About Pitching, Bowel Movements, And All Those Dingers
Dan Haren, the now-retired MLB pitcher who overcame his inability to throw a pitch over 90 mph in his later seasons, reflected back on his career today with candor. Most of the times he remembered were moments where he was trying not to give up a home run. Also, Haren said he used Imodium, a lot....
Jimmy Butler Loses His Mind, Scores 40 Points In One Half
The Bulls went up to Toronto without Derrick Rose today in need of some momentum. Chicago appears to have fairly structural problems with their chemistry and offense, but they still have the talent to mount a decent challenge in the East. There’s a glut of kinda-sorta good teams in the East and, as ...
Cool Pass Romelu Lukaku, Cooler Volley Aaron Lennon
Everton are putting Spurs where they belong (in the dang garbage) today (at least through the first 25 minutes of the game) at Goodison Park, thanks to this nifty little combination between Lukaku and Lennon. ...
TCU Overcomes 31-Point Halftime Deficit, Beats Oregon 47-41 In Overtime
An Alamo Bowl that looked just like the rest of this boring bowl season when Oregon and TCU headed to the locker rooms with the Ducks up 31-0 at halftime became a stunning win for the Horned Frogs after Oregon starting QB Vernon Adams Jr. left the game due to injury and the Ducks’ offense suddenly d...
TCU Blocks Oregon Punt; Oregon Ends Up With First Down Anyway
I’ve only seen this happen once before in my life: a team gets their punt blocked, recovers the blocked punt, and gains a first down. This is incredibly bad luck for a TCU team that’s down big (and down their quarterback)....
Australian Kid Takes On Entire Watermelon At Cricket Match, Loses
Sometimes in this life, we must take on challenges too big, bite off more than we can chew, and fail, to grow into bigger, more fully realized people. What follows is a short story about a young Australian cricket fan, a watermelon, and testing your limits....
Bulls Beat Pacers On Fantastic Tipped Lob
Maybe this was the play design all along, or maybe Pau Gasol just saw an opening and lofted the ball up. Either way this play should’ve been dead in the water, with Jimmy Butler blanketed by Paul George and unable to grab the ball and dunk it home. Instead, Butler deftly tapped the ball into the hoo...
How On Earth Did Neymar Pull Off This Spinning Backheel Assist?
Technically this little flick didn’t quite come off the way Neymar intended, but he definitely meant for that ridiculous touch to redirect into Luis Suárez’s path, and holy shit, can you imagine having such otherworldly talent that even when your unbelievably audacious moves don’t work exactly right...

Enjoy The NFL, Jared Goff
Jared Goff came to Cal as a skinny freshman who had to fight for the starting job against Zach Kline, one of the highest-ranked recruits who’s ever taken his talents to Berkeley. Goff won the job, but not much else, as the Golden Bears struggled to a 1-11 season in 2013, with the lone victory agains...
GRRM Has No Pages
Fans of A Song Of Ice And Fire—the books on which the popular HBO drama Game of Thrones are based—have a lot of theories. Some are about Jon Snow’s true parentage; some are about whether Brandon Stark ate his friend Jojen Reed; some are about whether Tyrion Lannister is the product of Daenerys Targa...
Iowa Knocks Off #1 Michigan State, Who Scored An Own Goal
We love these incredible basketball plays, so here’s Michigan State’s Alvin Ellis scoring on his own basket while trying to deflect an Iowa inbound pass. It’s emblematic of the Spartans’ rough night in Iowa City; they fell to the Hawkeyes 83-70....
Eric Weddle And The Chargers Seem To Be Done With Each Other
Eric Weddle has spent all nine seasons of his pro career with the Chargers, and after he didn’t receive a contract extension before the season, it seemed likely that he’d sign with another team when he became a free agent. Now, the prospect of Weddle leaving the Chargers is a virtual certainty. And ...
