Hassan Whiteside Tackles Alex Len To The Floor In A Real NBA Fight
Hassan Whiteside fought just to make it to the NBA. He only played 111 minutes for the Kings in his first two seasons after being drafted, before he was waived.

Why I Love Coutinho, And How Real Madrid's Slip Gives Us A Great<i> Clásico</i>

Curt Schilling Goes Dadmode On Twitter Trolls Bashing His Daughter
Curt Schilling is wrong on so many things, but not this one. Schilling tweeted out congratulations to his daughter last week for getting accepted to college, where she'll play softball. Here's what he said. It's a nice, solid Proud Dad tweet. ...

Rich Gang Might Be Breaking Up, But It's Fine
Moment of silence, please. Last week, rapper Rich Homie Quan went on Atlanta's Hot 107.9 and said he was taking a break from Rich Gang, his celebrated duo with Young Thug. (As you'll recall, their Tha Tour Part 1 was one of the best mixtapes of 2014.) Which means it's probably the beginning of the e...

The Wizards' Celebration Of Black History Month Is A Little Tone-Deaf
The Washington Wizards created a pop-up website to celebrate Black History Month. The site is full of pictures of various members of the Wizards organization spliced next to a picture of a historical black figure that inspires them, and a quote from each person featured. It's mostly a harmless idea,...

Oh, hey. I'm Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa, and I have a ridiculous mustache now. This is how I look, on purpose....

Central Michigan Basketball Player Nearly Crushed By Collapsing Hoop
Northern Illinois center Pete Rakocevic threw down a dunk during Saturday night's game, and as Central Michigan forward John Simons went to inbound the ball, everyone realized that the hoop was slowly collapsing. Simons was quick enough to get out of the way, but that was frighteningly close....

Blackhawks Deny Rumors Of Locker-Room Strife
It's been a very weird week for the Blackhawks, which kicked off with a broken collarbone for Patrick Kane that will see their leading scorer out through May, closed with a pair of significant "we're going for it" trades, and in between saw some thinly sourced rumors take on a life of their own. It'...

Chris Sale Fractures Foot Stepping Off Of His Truck
I thought I'd already hit my quota of peculiar spring training injury stories for the day earlier, but thanks to White Sox pitcher Chris Sale, here I am again. ...

Remember When Shitting Birds Got A Kings Of Leon Concert Canceled?
Let's take a little stroll down memory lane, back to the halcyon summer days of 2010, when Kings of Leon cancelled a show in St. Louis after just five songs because a bird shit in the bassist's mouth. Yes, Jared Followill (seen above, in much happier times) got Hot Carled by a pigeon. ...

Oh My God Oh My God I Think Russell Westbrook Could Beat Up My Dad
Last night, while we were all arguing about a black-and-blue dress, Russell Westbrook and a gaggle of tall men who were not Kevin Durant were a half-hour down the road from where the llamas were dodging the cops, playing the Phoenix Suns. If you missed it, or forgot, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost...

Kendrick Perkins Had A Very Kendrick Perkins Game
LeBron James was amazing, but I would like to draw your attention to another remarkable performance from last night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors: That of Kendrick Perkins, a rusty tugboat that washed up onto a basketball court during a hurricane....

Bulls general manager Gar Forman held a press conference today to debrief everyone on Derrick Rose's latest knee surgery, and from the sound of things, Rose may not be effectively dead (again) after all. ...

What Are We Being Ordered To Care About Instead Of That Goddamn Dress?
The Rule of the Internet is that when people argue about something silly, like the color of a goddamn dress, an army of remarkably irritating people will amass to counter that phenomenon and remind you that you are a shallow cock for worrying about the color of a dress. Let's meet these smarm merch...

Teuvo!
Alright, so maybe it's unrealistic to expect Blackhawks prospect Teuvo Teravainen to fill the skates and the scoresheets of the injured Patrick Kane. But the heralded 20-year-old, in his return to the big club, scored on his very first shift. And it was nasty....

These Cattle Can Move
Yes, yes I will watch more videos of authorities incompetently attempting to wrangle loose animals set to Yakety Sax. ...
