LeBron Jumped To The Moon To Slam This Alley-Oop Home
LeBron scrambled to his knees to recover this ball and ping it to Kyrie Irving, who tossed this alley-oop about three feet too high.

Ian Desmond Has A Goddamn Cannon For An Arm
Ian Desmond entered this year as a cautionary tale about the perils of turning down big money and betting on yourself, but the man has been revitalized as an outfielder for the Rangers.

Home Run Robberies Don't Get Much Better Than This
Not all dinger thefts are created equal. There are those in which the robber tracks a high fly ball, and is afforded time to plant his feet in front of the wall and measure his leap. These catches often make for the best photo opportunities, as the outfielder gets to use the wall to boost his jump a...

How Not To Lose Friends To Parenthood
There’s an idea that parallel universes exist simultaneously, and every possible outcome of every event in history is happening within them. If this is right, then somewhere in time and space, Dez Bryant made that catch, baby Donald Trump died of SIDS, 9/11 wasn’t an inside job and Rougned Odor stil...
If You Hacked A Major Sports League's Twitter Account, What Would You Do?
The NFL’s official Twitter account got hacked today, and the rapscallion who did it handled things pretty well, choosing to tweet the insane but not totally implausible news that Roger Goodell had died. This got us thinking, what’s the best prank to pull in a situation like that?...
Rougned Odor Smacks Walk-Off, Gets Smacked
Rougned Odor can’t even hit a walk-off without getting in a scrap.

Great Pics, Wade!
The Super Bowl-winning Denver Broncos made their visit to the White House today, and defensive coordinator Wade Phillips took pictures to document the trip.

Seriously, who does it like this?...
Is It Normal For Me To Hiccup So Damn Much?
Hiccups are, by nature, pretty normal. Everyone gets them and the only really worrisome side effect is the possibility that they won’t automatically dissipate in a timely fashion. If they don’t?
