Quiz: Which Member Of Migos Are You?
You'd be hard pressed to find a rap group buzzing louder than Migos, the Atlanta trio that quickly rose to prominence in 2013 when Drake remixed their infectious mixtape cut "Versace" and transformed them from underground sensations into web icons. They've since ascended to greatness within Atla...
Fernando Torres Scores First Goal Back With Atlético Against Real Madrid
Hey, maybe this whole homecoming thing is going to work out, afterall! This is the exact kind of goal Torres has made his once-proud name so infamous, one where he had ample time to size up a fairly easy shot, and instead of scuffing it into an ad board, he spanked it home....

Harrison Barnes Forces Revision To The Definition Of A Shabazz Assist

The PGA Is Harshing On The Best Hole In Golf
The 16th hole at the Phoenix Open has long been one of the most fun things in golf, owing entirely to the fact that its amphitheater-style gallery makes it a perfect place for fans to get loud and rowdy—like they would at a real sporting event!—but this year the PGA is trying to do away with some of...
The Golden State Warriors Are Having The Most Fun
One of my favorite things that happens in the NBA is when a talented team reaches a point where every guy, from the stars to the benchwarmers, begins to understand just how damn good they have it. The Golden State Warriors, currently sporting a 30-5 record, are squarely in that zone....
Dominik Hasek Was So Good
The Sabres will retire Dominik Hasek's number tonight, two months after his induction into the Hall of Fame. He is one of the greatest goaltenders of all time—very arguably the best of an era that featured the likes of Brodeur and Roy—yet it's nearly impossible to properly convey sustained netmindin...

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.

Why Ohio State Is A Sneaky-Bad Match-up For Oregon
Oregon looks like a clear favorite over Ohio State in the college football championship game. The markets opened with Oregon as a 7 point favorite, which implies a 70 percent win probability.
