The Sixers didn’t really need Markelle Fultz to play well in tonight’s 127-108 blowout of the Bulls, which was good, because something’s clearly still affecting him. He finally made his first career three-pointer, though, and it made for a nice little moment. The Philly crowd celebrated like they’d...
Anthony Duclair Eats Shit, Gets Up, Scores Amazing Goal

Do The Capitals Or Golden Knights Have Any Chance Of Doing It Again?
The combatants in last season’s Stanley Cup Final met a week into this young season and the rematch looked like a mismatch.

After All That, Jimmy Butler Is Ready To Play For The Timberwolves Tonight
Jimmy Butler went about trying to launch himself off the team he no longer wants to play for about as loudly and obnoxiously as possible.

Whatever The Hell Jaylen Brown Did To Joel Embiid Here, It Ruled<em></em><em></em>
Dear lord, Jaylen Brown is unwell in the best possible way. Every neuron in his big smart brain must have been hollering at him not to do what he did.

Maybe Paco Alcácer Sold His Soul To The Devil For The Power To Score Whenever He Wants
Though Paco Alcácer’s goal today came when Spain were already down big in their UEFA Nations League match against England, the weight of the scoreline was never going to keep the corners of his mouth from turning upward in delight. Alcácer had stepped over the sideline and into a 3-0 hiding in the 5...
One Of The World's Worst Soccer Teams Scores One Of Its Best Ever Goals
The history of the Montserrat soccer team is brief and inglorious.
