What Did RG3 Say That Peyton Manning Hasn't?
In terms of RG3 takes, it appears we're not quite out of the woods. The quarterback's comments after Washington's pratfall against Tampa Bay—in which he more or less said football is a team effort—gave everyone the opportunity to take a swing at the already-half-broken piñata. Here's one more bad ta...
<em>Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways</em> Is The So-So Rock Doc Generation X Deserves
First thing's first: Dave Grohl appears to be a Very Nice Guy. Just about every bitch and barb I'm going to throw at the Foo Fighters leader and his band's new album/reality show, Sonic Highways, could be met with a hearty "What's so bad about that?" In the nearly 15 years since Veruca Salt accuse...
Iman Shumpert Throws Down Nasty Reverse Dunk In The Greek Freak's Face
The Knicks lost 117-113 to the Bucks last night, and at one point trailed Milwaukee by 26 points. They made a little run in the fourth quarter, though, and when Iman Shumpert rinsed Giannis Antetokounmpo with this reverse jam, cutting the lead to four, it felt like the Knicks were about to win the d...
Marshawn Lynch Drove To A Guy's House To Return His Wallet

Lemon Asks Alleged Cosby Rape Victim Why She Didn't Bite Off His Dick

Angry Ram Makes Mincemeat Out Of Punching Bag
The first 1:45 of this video is solid YouTube material. An angry ram (named, appropriately, Angry Ram) repeatedly ramming a punching bag is pretty entertaining to watch. But then Angry Ram absolutely murders the punching bag and makes you realize you had just been watching Mildly Unhappy Ram, not ...
Black Grantland's Old White Guy To Black People: Do What I Tell You
Yesterday, news dropped that Jason Whitlock was about to make Mike Wise, an oldish white Washington Post columnist and proud champion of liberal causes, his second official "black Grantland" hire.

The Philadelphia 76ers Are A Godless Abomination
You almost certainly missed it over the weekend, but the Philadelphia 76ers made a big addition to their roster, scooping up free-agent forward Robert Covington. If you've never heard of Robert Covington, that's because he's an undrafted second-year player who had previously seen the floor in just s...
RG3 Is Making Everyone Insane
Let's begin with the full quote. You already know that RG3 allegedly threw his teammates under the bus after the Skins got their asses handed to them by the Bucs at home on Sunday, but you probably only read this part of the quote…...
Phil Martelli's Grandson Is Still An Adorable Mini-Basketball Coach
Most of us discovered Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli's grandson Philip in this year's March Madness tournament. The 4-year-old in the stands wore an adult necktie and screamed at no one in particular. (Just like a real coach!) College basketball's back, and so is Philip, still acting like his gr...
Buzzer-Beating Alley-Oop Sends Game To Overtime
UMass just finished up a 77-68 victory over Manhattan, but not before Manhattan's Emmy Andujar and Rich Williams pulled off one of the coolest buzzer-beaters you will see all year....
This Family Is The Worst Thing On Facebook
Perhaps you have had occasion to view a YouTube song video created by a group of healthy-looking white people named "The Holderness Family." Perhaps it was the one in which they perform a version of Snoop Dogg's classic "Gin and Juice" song, fitted to Halloween, titled "Kin and Moose."...
Where Every NBA Team Takes (And Gives Up) Shots
Here's a chart by our friend Ed Kupfer, who does analytics for the Houston Rockets, showing the distribution by percent of every NBA team's offensive and defensive field goals. If you take a second blink through the information overload, it's a shorthand Rosetta Stone for what's going on in the NBA....
Warning: Doug McDermott Will Just Get All Up In Your Picture
Former Creighton star Doug McDermott hasn't exactly taken the NBA by storm in his first weeks as a pro, but that doesn't mean that he's short on confidence. For example, McDermott has no problem rolling right into a famous-person photo that he definitely wasn't invited to....

"That's A Facial!": EMU's Karrington Ward Throws Down Huge Dunk
I am not going to overdo the hyperbole and say that this dunk is a MUST SEE or watching it will BLOW YOUR MIND or Oakland University's Kahlil Felder got DESTROYED. No, this is just a pretty cool dunk with a very emphatic call, and you'll probably enjoy spending 30 seconds watching it. ...
