UConn Forces Fourth Overtime With Three-Quarter-Court Buzzer-Beater
When Cincinnati’s Kevin Johnson hit a three-pointer with two seconds remaining in the third overtime of the Bearcats’ American quarterfinal against UConn, it looked like the Huskies were toast.

Draymond Green Interview Derailed By Reporter In Michigan Shirt
Warriors forward Draymond Green spent four years at Michigan State, and ended his career there as only the third player in Spartans history to record 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. He’s very loyal to his alma mater, as demonstrated by the reaction he had to a reporter wearing a Michigan shirt:...
How To Complain Without Sounding Like A Brat
Let us begin with the obvious: Complaining is great. It is the backbone of human civilization, complaining. “To exchange dissatisfactions is to acknowledge another person’s existence, and to share rueful mutual sympathy at the sometimes tremendously irritating predicament of having been born,” wrote...

The Chiefs Will Fight The NFL On Tampering Penalties
The Kansas City Chiefs have been hit by the NFL with a raft of penalties for illegally tampering with Jeremy Maclin during 2015's “legal tampering” period, and, frankly, it’s pretty insane. The penalties are harsher than any previously imposed, and the violation was one that undoubtedly happens doze...
Actually, Ruben Amaro Was Very Into Analytics, Says Ruben Amaro
Ruben Amaro, Jr. took over as Phillies GM right after they won the World Series in 2008, and for a few years maintained that success. But as the Phillies’ core aged, Amaro made a string of terrible moves, to the point where the Phillies were one of the worst teams in baseball the past three seasons,...
NHL Says Rape Allegations Against Patrick Kane Were "Unfounded"
Well, this is a hell of a statement. The NHL has concluded its investigation into sexual assault claims against Blackhawks star Patrick Kane made in August, and the league’s release doesn’t merely say that Kane won’t be disciplined. It goes even further than law enforcement, which declined to prosec...
Chris Cooley Has A Whole Bunch Of Thoughts On RGIII
Four years ago today, Washington agreed to send three first-round picks and a second-rounder to St. Louis for the right to move up to draft Robert Griffin III. Today, Griffin is a free agent, and the man the Skins selected on the third day of that draft is their QB and set to make $20 million....

Eagles-Dolphins Trade Could Be Off Because Of Byron Maxwell's Shoulder
The NFL’s two-day “legal tampering period,” on top of having a silly name, is a silly idea. It’s designed for teams to talk to agents before free agency officially opens, but they’re not supposed to agree to deals, not even in principle. They always do, of course—that’s why those deals are officiall...
Boston College Senior Has Just The Saddest Favorite College Basketball Memory
Boston College ended their basketball season by getting routed 88-66 by Florida State in the first round of the ACC tournament. The Eagles went just 7-25 this year, including an unfathomable 0-19 in conference play, the first team to go winless in the ACC since the post-Len Bias Maryland Terrapins....
Let's Watch Some Diego Maradona Highlights For No Good Reason
The other day I went down a YouTube rabbithole trying to find a song to pair with a video to make a meme (don’t ask), and ended up watching Diego Maradona highlights for an hour. I know all about la mano de Dios, his absolute filleting of England during the 1986 World Cup, and of course the absurdit...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Is A Point Guard Now, And It's Awesome
There’s a fun thing going on with the Milwaukee Bucks, a team that was supposed to be a spunky upstart but has unfortunately been a big-ass bummer. All those losses have put head coach Jason Kidd in a situation where he can tinker and experiment with the team, and he’s taken advantage of that by put...
Eagles' Trades Show Who's Really Running The Team
It was a year ago, in the span of one crazy week, when the Eagles signed DeMarco Murray and Byron Maxwell and traded for Kiko Alonso. They were the crown jewels of Chip Kelly’s first offseason after winning a power struggle for control of Philadelphia’s personnel decisions. Now, in the span of a day...
Hoo Boy, Take A Look At This Zach LaVine Dunk
Zach LaVine is a fun player. He’s an ostensible point guard who’s got more spring in his legs than Gerald Green, he’s a dunk contest champion, and he’s the type of dude who will throw down a one-handed, 360 dunk in the middle of a game....
The Cavs Got Beat By Something Resembling The Memphis Grizzlies
If the Cavaliers were sending cryptic tweets before losing to a Memphis Grizzlies team missing most of the players you’ve heard of, I can’t even imagine what they’re going to send out tonight....
