Police: Ronaldo Vs. Messi Debate Ends With One Guy Killing His Buddy With Shard Of Glass

Roddy White Says Kyle Shanahan Forced Him Out Of Atlanta

“We’re getting Minnesota with it,” the narrator of this year’s Minnesota high school hockey all-hair team video says, as the camera cuts to a plate of spam, lutefisk, and a lefse, which is then placed on a vinyl copy of Purple Rain. It somehow only gets more Minnesota from there....

John Wall, Goddamn
The Wizards lost a close one at home tonight to the Indiana Pacers. The end of the game was bad and dumb and full of nothing but free throws, but John Wall went and hit one of the wackiest circus shots of the season late in the game to keep the Wiz boys in it....
