Enjoy Kristaps Porzingis Chasing Josh Jackson Around Like An Angry Storm Cloud
The Knicks beat the Suns last night behind another incredible offensive performance from young Kristaps Porzingis. The Suns have looked frisky since the firing of Earl Watson—that doesn’t make this some great win, but it does help make the case that the Knicks are not, in fact, complete trash. No. W...

LeBron James Devoured The Noisy Wizards
The context for LeBron’s 57-point masterpiece last night is something I, a devoted Wizards fan, would prefer to ignore—the Wizards spent portions of the spring and an interview with ESPN’s The Jump chirping that the Cavs ducked them in last season’s playoffs, and went so far as to say that they, the...
Tywan “Speedy” Claxton Annihilates Opponent With Flying Knee In First Pro Fight<em></em>
Tywan “Speedy” Claxton made his pro MMA debut at Bellator 186 tonight after a stellar wrestling career as an Ohio Bobcat, and he finished his bout against Jonny Bonilla-Bowman in style with a first-round flying knee. BAH GAWD....
Don't Post Disembodied Engagement Ring Photos
I don’t think you have to eschew all traditional displays of romance to be a cool, modern couple. Even if you decide these traditions are rooted in an oppressive historical patriarchy (they are) and often serve to perpetuate systematic inequality between the sexes on a society-wide scale (they do), ...
Pat Neshek Will Autograph A Printed-Out Blog Post If You Mail It To Him
In September, we published a blog about Rockies reliever and avid baseball memorabilia collector Pat Neshek being miffed that Zack Greinke would not sign autographs for him. It ended with this line:...
Police Seek Felony Charges Against USC Player Who Leveled Fan
The USC Trojans lost 30-27 to the Washington State Cougars on Sept. 29, and at the end of the game the Washington State fans rushed the field. During the chaos, USC defensive lineman Liam Jimmons was seen laying out one of the Washington State fans....
Howard Eskin Is Very Upset That New Phillies Manager Gabe Kapler Masturbates
The Phillies held a press conference today to introduce Gabe Kapler as the team’s new manager. It was Kapler’s first time speaking to the assembled Philadelphia media, and he got a good introduction into a major part of his new job....
Pablo Cuevas Goes Between The Legs For Winner Past Rafael Nadal
Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas is probably not going to win this third-round match against Rafa Nadal at the Paris indoors. But he’ll always have this between-the-legs passing shot to look back on as a career highlight....
Ben Simmons Is A Revelation
When was the last time we saw a rookie this broadly excellent? Does Ben Simmons evoke anyone besides the most obvious—and most desirable—comparison? Having already submitted a handful of Bronesque stat lines for our consideration, Simmons did it once again in last night’s win over the Hawks: 19 poin...
David Fizdale Calls Out Mario Chalmers: "His Brain Was Gone"
The Memphis Grizzlies are in a tough spot. They are a perennial playoff team on the descent, not good enough to do much more than scrap for tough wins every night and compete for a bottom-rung playoff spot. Things got a little worse last night, with star point guard Mike Conley on the bench with an ...
How The Roman Empire's Cities Crumbled
When we think of the Roman Empire as a physical space, cities are what come to mind. We see the huge bulk of the Coliseum. The ruined husks of aqueducts, bathhouses, and grand temples reach for the sky, reminders of the engineering prowess and resources the Romans had at their disposal. Those kinds ...
Brock's Back
Let’s do a quick rundown of what has happened to Brock Osweiler over the last two seasons: With Peyton Manning hurt for a good chunk of the 2015 season, Osweiler played in eight games for the Broncos and did Fine, leading the team to a 5-3 record and throwing 10 touchdowns. He was meant to be Mannin...
Joc Pederson Won't Say Who Has To Pay Him
If the Dodgers go on to win the World Series tonight, one of the more enduring images of the series will be Joc Pederson turning to his own dugout, rubbing his fingers together, and shouting, “Pay me my money!” after his seventh-inning homer in Game 6....
I Can't Stop Laughing At This Rich Hill At-Bat
Dodgers starter Rich Hill was clearly determined not to give away a third-inning plate appearance last night, though he employed some weird-ass strategies to try to battle off Justin Verlander, who was still dealing at that point in the game....
Mike Leach's Opinion On Candy Corn: Just As Awful As Fruitcake And Mint Juleps
The traditional season for candy corn is coming to a close, but before it does, Washington State head coach Mike Leach is here to offer his thoughts: it’s bad. This is why it’s only served once a year, much like fruitcake or mint juleps, which are similarly terrible in Leach’s mind:...

Rich Hill Took His Sweet Time To Let Dodger Stadium's Boos For Yuli Gurriel Sink In
It’s been four days since Yulieski Gurriel made a racist gesture after homering off Yu Darvish, and Dodgers fans have been very clear in expressing their dissatisfaction with him tonight. That’s meant sustained boos for Gurriel for the duration of each of his plate appearances so far—and L.A. starte...
