Patrick Kane Successfully Completes Taxi Ride
A few days out from the playoffs (and a possible first-round matchup with Detroit), Patrick Kane is doing some shilling for Uber, a startup that allows you to order a car service via smartphone app. But perhaps more importantly for the Blackhawks forward, it doesn't require him or the driver to carr...
The Hawks-Pacers Series Is Boring, But These Dunks Are Not
Don't give a shit about who wins the first-round playoff series between the Hawks and Pacers? Don't worry, neither does anyone else. But you should give a shit about what Roy Hibbert and Gerald Green did last night. Each threw down a dunk that was more than worthy of the playoff stage....
Brian Kenny Loses His Shit On Hawk Harrelson
Hawk Harrelson is the play-by-play announcer for the Chicago White Sox, and he is the worst.

Comcast SportsNet's White Sox Intro Video Is One Of The Worst Things Ever Put On Television And Possibly Harmful To Your Health
Most discerning baseball fans go out of their way to avoid local broadcasts of the Chicago White Sox.

Seriously, you'd be better off huffing...
The Wolverines Beat Kansas Despite A Late-Game 99.4 Percent Chance Of Losing
The OMFGCU dream died last night around gone-to-bed o’clock, amid a flipbook of turnovers. Krzyzewski beat Izzo in the battle of the z’s. The Cardinals dispatched the Ducks. Higher seeds advancing, dynasties on the make, a swell Sunday set up....
Trey Burke May Have Hit The Equalizer, But It Was Mitch McGary Who Played The Game Of His Life
Florida Gulf Coast stopped scoring at the wrong time, while Louisville and Duke won by maintaining solid, boring leads, so the chatter last night naturally turned to Trey Burke's remarkable game-tying shot against Kansas. Michigan clawed back from a 14 point deficit in seven minutes, Burke scored al...
Trey Burke's 30-Footer Forced Overtime Against Kansas
Michigan erased a late 14-point Kansas lead to force overtime in Dallas when Trey Burke's mega-deep three-pointer tied the game with four seconds remaining. It's the 2013 tournament's first overtime game....
Mr. T Scored From Center Ice, And It Might've Been The Greatest Moment In Hockey History
For the second straight Blackhawks game, a Chicago-native celebrity tried his hand at the "Shoot the Puck" intermission contest. But while Monday brought a rambling, possibly drunk Jim Belushi, last night saw a no-nonsense Mr. T show the puck and the United Center who's still the boss....

Wrestler Comes In Second Place At Big 10 Tournament, Throws Medal In Garbage

Seattle, just two points from the NFC Championship game, gets another fancy toy for its emerging star quarterback to play with. The Seahawks have acquired Percy Harvin from Minnesota for draft picks, and just like that, the two early favorites for 2013 are both in the NFC West....
With Their First Regulation Loss, Chicago Blackhawks Suddenly Suck
The Chicago Blackhawks were blown out on Friday, 6-2, the latest disappointment in a season full of … oh. Hmmm. It seems the Blackhawks had begun this season with an NHL-record streak of points, and that this loss dropped them all the way to 21-1-3. Their winning clip looks like an elite save percen...
Chicago's Kiss Cam Is Almost As Hot As The Blackhawks
Here's a lady and gent thoroughly enjoying their time on the United Center's Kiss Cam during the Blackhawks win over the Colorado Avalanche. And why not? The Blackhawks won again tonight with a last-minute goal from Daniel Carcillo; it was his first of the season. Jonathan Toews also chipped in wit...
JaVale McGee Spikes A Shot Into The Crowd, Preens, Throws Down Alley-Oop
Some advice for Anthony Tolliver: Next time, just forgo the pump fake and shoot the ball over Wilson Chandler. Chandler may have gotten a hand in your face and disrupted your shot, but he probably wouldn't have infantilized you with a vicious volleyball-spike, mean mugged at the crowd until he got...
Replacement Ref Who Blew Packers-Seahawks Was Mostly Concerned With Looking Decisive
The Golden Tate hail mary Monday Night clusterfuck was one of the all-time national NFL stories, but everyone moved on fairly quickly. The regular referees came back next week, the standings weren't permanently affected (though the loss gave the 49ers home field against Green Bay in the playoffs), a...
