James Harden On Why He Stared At The Lifeless Pile Of Flesh That Used To Be Wesley Johnson: "I Was Trying To Figure Out What He Was Doing"
James Harden did one of the meanest things you’ll ever see in a basketball game last night, when he crossed Wesley Johnson into the floor and then just stood there, for what felt like an eternity, and stared at Johnson before eventually splashing a three. Harden was asked about the long stare after ...
Shapo Begged On His Knees
Kei Nishikori, you were missed. The Japanese star popped a tendon in his right wrist in mid-August, closed up shop for the year, and then sat out the Aussie Open last month. Since then he’s warmed up with some low-key Challengers, and this week entered just his second tour-level event since his inju...
None Can Defeat The Mighty Wizards
The brave Milwaukee Bucks tried their best. After falling behind the invincible Washington Wizards by 21 points in the first quarter of last night’s game, the deer men scraped and clawed nearly all the way back, drawing the deficit down to a single point five times in the fourth quarter. Alas, each ...
Erik Karlsson Makes The Most Of A Bad Situation
In the third period of tonight’s Senators-Capitals game, Erik Karlsson wasn’t exactly where he should have been. His location wasn’t good for him, and it wasn’t really doing anything to help his team. There were plenty of other places where he could have been more of a threat, or more fun to pay att...
Lauri Markkanen Gets His Soul Snatched On Jarrett Allen's Dunk, Admirably Tries To Get Revenge<em></em>
The Brooklyn Nets had a real, honest highlight in the third quarter of Monday’s 104-87 win over the Bulls. Nineteen-year-old Jarrett Allen rolled and found himself in the perfect position to throw down a dunk; Bulls rookie Lauri Markkanen found himself in the worst spot to receive it....
Lonzo Ball Lost A Shooting Contest To Bow Wow
If you are a professional basketball player there is one thing you have to understand: Even though losing a casual shooting contest to a non-professional basketball player is not an objectively big deal, it is something you absolutely cannot allow to happen. Why? Because when it does happen, you hav...
Anthony Davis Just Might Go Get The MVP
The AD and Boogie show was one of the best things going in the NBA, which made Boogie snapping his achilles tendon just before the All-Star break a downright depressing development. What’s definitely not depressing are the things Anthony Davis has been doing to the chumps who have had the misfortune...
Unpaid Athlete Resolves Paid-Dinner Scandal By Giving $40 To Charity
Today in tremendously stupid updates from the FBI’s college basketball investigation: Michigan State’s Miles Bridges has officially been cleared to play. The sophomore guard has been absolved of his sins (allowing an agent to buy dinner for several members of his family last winter, which reportedly...
The Most Badass Goals Are Roberto Firmino's No-Look Goals
Liverpool’s Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino may be the hardest working center forward in the game, but don’t get it twisted: he still manages to couple his indefatigable off-ball work with more than a little of that old samba flair. His elaborate goal celebrations are probably the most indicative ...
Steven Adams On Autobiography He Wrote: "I Can Barely Read, Mate"
Steven Adams has an autobiography coming out this year with author Madeleine Chapman. The Oklahoma City Thunder center talked about it today when prompted, and it’s clear that he worked very hard on it....
Atlético Madrid Sell Yannick Carrasco In Latest Bit Of Chinese League Insanity
After a couple years’ worth of flabbergasting player transactions that sent relatively young, increasingly talented, borderline world-class players from some of the best leagues in Europe and South America to the gilded shores of China, this season felt quieter, like maybe normalcy had finally reass...
Look At This Stupid Baby<em></em>
Here we have President Diaper, a fussy young infant who rarely sleeps through the night uninterrupted—and is known to be quite a handful during the daytime as well!—forced to listen for an agonizing 58 seconds as the governor of Washington state explains why arming teachers is a bad idea....
Lovable Large Boy Kyle Schwarber Is No Longer Large
Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber, the big burly lad who everyone loves, spent the offseason trying to get ripped. It appears that he succeeded:...
Chipper Jones Says There's No Reason For Civilians To Have AR-15s
Chipper Jones loves guns. Loves ‘em. He says he’s got five, including a shotgun and a rifle. (Though he says he prefers hunting with a bow because “it’s safer and more sporty.”) But even Jones says regular American civilians have no business being able to own assault weapons, like the AR-15 used to ...

Big South Underdog Celebrates Huge Upset Victory With Epic Water Fight
The Charleston Southern Buccaneers toppled Winthrop Saturday, 78-75, in a game I can’t imagine anyone reading this blog actually cares about.

Olympian Haley Anderson Ranks The Buoyancy Of Olympic Heroes
Two-time Olympic open swimmer Haley Anderson knows a thing or two about buoyancy, but how does she feel about the buoyancy of, say, Olympic curler Matt Hamilton? Or Aja Evans? Or the relative merits of the Williams sisters versus the Knowles sisters? It truly takes an Olympian to bring clarity to th...
Damian Lillard Rescued His Blazers From The Lowly Suns, And Also The Suns From The Blazers
It is not an exaggeration to say that Damian Lillard’s heroics in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s Blazers-Suns tilt rescued both teams: the Blazers are smack in the middle of the West’s dense playoff pack; meanwhile the Suns, had they won, would’ve gone from having the worst win percentage in...
