Cubs Spring Training Game Overrun By Bees
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. I say it will end when our bee overlords choose to end it. That might already be underway at Sloan Park during this afternoon’s Cubs-Mariners game. Jason Heyward was the first victim, and he had to climb the outfield fence to avoid them....

Boban Marjanovic Executes Slowest Dunking-On In NBA History
Gregg Popovich rested his starters last night in Oklahoma City, or rather, he unleashed Boban Marjanovic on the Thunder. He didn’t exactly play very well (somehow he only grabbed six rebounds?), but he did manage to pull off the most glacial dunk of the 2016 season, over 60 percent of OKC’s starting...
Buddy Hield Is As Fun As College Basketball Gets
The wildest aspect of the NCAA Tournament is its proclivity for upsets.
