Tom Ricketts Blames His Dad's Islamophobic Emails On "The News Of The Day"
Cubs co-owner Tom Ricketts spoke to reporters today in an effort to once again distance the team from his father and fellow co-owner Joe Ricketts, whose racist email inbox was made public by Splinter earlier this month. Tom also offered a wan defense of his father, which somehow culminated in him bl...
This Little Kid's Spinning Backheel Volley Goal Is Cooler Than Anything You've Ever Done In Your Life
I don’t think goals in Polish U11 futsal tournaments qualify for the Puskás Award, but if they did then this unreal dink from little Bartosz Kuśmierczyk would make for a hell of a contender:...
Here Is A Necessary NBA All-Star Game Highlight
If you didn’t watch the NBA all-star game, I don’t think you missed much (I can’t say for sure if you missed anything good, because I also did not watch the game. The internet at my apartment has been broken for two weeks!), but there is one cool play from the game that you should see....
Boston's Tuukka Rask Adds Another Incredible Stacked-Pads Save To His Resumé<em></em>
Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask was put in a bad spot on Saturday. Poor defending from his teammates left the Kings’ Alex Iafallo open to take a chance at the net and break the 1-1 deadlock the teams were in late in the second period. As the puck headed towards what Iafallo believed to be an unguarded spo...
Backboard's Kiss Of Death Helps Iowa Defeat Rutgers On A Buzzer-Beater
With just over five seconds remaining in the game, Rutgers’ Geo Baker hoisted up a three-point shot that bounced off the front iron of the rim, the center of the backboard and the front of the rim again before falling through the net to give Baker’s team a 69-68 lead over No. 21 Iowa. The Hawkeyes h...
Michigan Remembered Its Identity And Smothered Maryland To Death With It
Maryland did an excellent job surprising the crowd at the Crisler Center during its game against Michigan on Saturday. Unfortunately, the surprise came about because of how good the Terps were making the Wolverines look. Coming into the game, Michigan had the 302nd-ranked tempo in the nation, accord...
Let’s Spend Way Too Much Time Scrutinizing The Body Language Of Kyrie Irving And Jayson Tatum In This Rising Stars Clip
As much as the NBA’s Rising Stars Challenge is not an actual game—it’s more of a glorified, mediocre dunk contest with all of the injury risk and none of the payoff—the league insists on maintaining some semblance of the itinerary that actual NBA games have before, during and after the exhibition. S...
Terrence Ross Committed A Dunk Murder On Willy Hernangomez
If there’s ever a time to go for a ridiculous dunk in traffic, a 30-point blowout is it. Even if you miss, most people have either changed the channel or are content watching the basketball equivalent of an NPR talk show: background noise that don’t mean much of anything. But last night the Magic’s ...
Golf Pro Shoots 17 On Par 4, Gets Owned By His Dad
Ben DeArmond, a South Florida PGA Professional golfer, was among the field at a Web.com Tour event that kicked off yesterday. The SFPGA was excited for him, and tweeted their encouragement before he teed off:...
The Knicks Do The Unthinkable And Win A Basketball Game
For just the second time since the calendar flipped over to 2019, the Knicks have won a regular season NBA basketball game, topping the lowly Hawks—and in Atlanta, no less—by the score of 106–91. It’s been 41 days since the team last tasted victory, a span covering a franchise-record 18 consecutive ...
Players Like Sergio Ramos Are Why You Can Never Count Out Real Madrid
Real Madrid were always going to struggle to cope with losing Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, and during the first half of a miserable season with only one notable bright spot, that challenge proved even tougher than most would’ve imagined. However, Real Madrid are still Real Madrid, winners of four ...
The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is These Noble Ski Dogs
The setting is a ski slope in Montana, per the tag on the video. The conditions are fresh and powdery, with even more flakes coming down. The dogs are dumb and happy, until they are fast, sleek, and hurtling like little fur missiles downhill. This is pure....
Do Not Watch The Knicks For Any Reason Besides A Flying Mitchell Robinson
In the middle of an 18-game losing streak, with the tank reaching levels deleterious to the mental health of players and viewers alike, there aren’t a whole lot of reasons to subject yourself to the Knicks. The only one I can offer you with a straight face is Mitchell Robinson, an ent with hops. Ro...
Josh Okogie Locking James Harden In A Closet Makes For A Satisfying Highlight
The Timberwolves beat the Rockets at home on Wednesday night, 121-111, and even though James Harden led all scorers as usual with 42 points on a nauseating 34 field goal attempts, he was far from unstoppable, as proven by T-Wolves rookie Josh Okogie on a pair of dramatic occasions within a couple mi...
Isaiah Thomas's Excellent Sports Child Makes It Impossible To Root Against His Shrimpy Dad
Isaiah Thomas returned to the court Wednesday night for the first time in nearly 11 months, as a reserve for the Denver Nuggets. He was pretty good, going for eight points in 13 minutes of burn, and finishing plus-2 in a game the Nuggets won on another hideous Nikola Jokic game-winner....
Someone Finally Posterized Jarrett Allen, And It Was Marquese Chriss
Tonight is apparently a good night for bouncy young dudes on horrendous Eastern Conference cellar-dwellers to rise up and violently jam on someone whose season hasn’t already ended. First we had Kevin Knox posterizing the hell out of Ben Simmons, and now we’ve got Marquese Chriss of the Cavaliers th...
Joel Embiid Almost Murders Statistician In Quest For Loose Ball<em></em>
Joel Embiid hustled like hell to get a loose ball in the third quarter of tonight’s 76ers-Knicks game, and he endangered several lives in the process. While Tracy Morgan looked on, the Philly big man hurtled straight over Regina King as he tried to save his team’s possession. But when he cannonballe...
Kevin Knox's Dunk On Ben Simmons Left DeAndre Jordan Stupefied<em></em>
The Knicks as a franchise have completely packed it in for the rest of the season, but the electrifying rookie Kevin Knox has yet to get the tanking memo. In the second quarter of New York’s likely eventual loss against the 76ers, Knox took a bounce pass in stride from DeAndre Jordan as he sped into...
Unavoidable Organization With Amoral Right-Wing Ownership Announces Partnership With Sinclair
The Chicago Cubs announced today that they will be launching a new regional sports network, beginning in 2020. For the new venture, called Marquee Sports Network, the Ricketts family has partnered with a real gem of a broadcasting company: Sinclair. Yeah, that Sinclair....
Jayson Tatum Needs To Shut Down His Kobe Brain And Play More Like This
Jayson Tatum used to look a little different. Early in last season’s playoffs, Albert praised the Celtics rookie’s knack for catching the ball on the move while defenses were still in flux, making his knifing drives all the deadlier. At 19, with his team’s two stars broken on the sidelines, he was a...
