TCU's John Diarse Lays Out For Spectacular One-Handed Touchdown Grab
Third-ranked Oklahoma jumped out to a 17-0 lead over TCU after just four total possessions this afternoon, and very much looked poised to run away from the Horned Frogs.

Tennessee's Week-Long Faceplant Continues
Friday morning, after returning from yet another meeting with another prospective head coach, Tennessee athletic director John Currie was canned.

Giannis Bullied The Blazers
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is Shaq now, did not have his greatest game against the Blazers last night, scoring 20 points on 7-of-20 shooting in the Bucks’ 103-91 win. He also did some very rude things to some people. ...
What The Hell Is The Hopewell Fund?
The NFL PR playbook is so obvious at this point that it’s shocking the league’s executives are still impressed by the idea: When people get upset, throw money at the problem. ...
Miles Bridges Dunks Over His Own Poor Teammate
Being dunked on, in any capacity, is humiliating; being posterized so fiercely that you fall on your ass is even more so. And being posterized that fiercely by your own teammate? Nick Ward suffered quite the ego bruising tonight at the hands of Michigan State teammate Miles Bridges during tonight’s ...
Wayne Rooney Scored From Half Field And Maybe Saved Everton
Everton came into today’s game in 17th place in the league and only two points ahead of their opponents, West Ham. A loss would have sunk them into the relegation zone and extended their run of trash performances. They won 4-0, thanks to a goal from Ashley Williams (who is still butt) and a hat tric...
John Fox On Bears: “We Don’t Know Exactly What We’re Doing”
Yesterday the Bears released Tre McBride, a wide receiver whose 92-yard performance in Week 8 against New Orleans is the best single-game receiving performance for any player on the team this year. McBride also played on 78 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles....
The Chicago Bulls Play "The Beautiful Game"
Casual basketball fans tend to wax rhapsodic about the fluid ball movement and deep unselfishness of San Antonio or Golden State. But true lovers of the sport look only to Chicago. Study every detail of this possession from last night’s Suns-Bulls game; this is what peak performance looks like....

David Fizdale Probably Shouldn't Have Benched Marc Gasol
The Memphis Grizzlies made the genuinely surprising decision to fire head coach David Fizdale on Monday, just a day after Fizdale sat star center Marc Gasol for the entire fourth quarter against the Nets. Given that Fizdale led the team to 43 wins last season, and given that this year’s team, while ...
Bill Walton Would Fuck You Up
Care to face off against the weather-beaten tree that is Bill Walton in a fight? As evidenced by this training footage, courtesy of Walton’s broadcast partner Dave Pasch, absolutely not. Bill’s a goddamn force. He can take on two opponents at once:...
Tennessee AD John Currie Is Now Under Fire For Bungling The Greg Schiano Hire
The University of Tennessee athletic department is currently in full-on crisis mode thanks to the bungled hiring of Greg Schiano, and the apparent and baffling lack of vetting behind the decision-making process that led to that hiring. Not only is Schiano not going to be the next Volunteers coach, b...
Jahlil Okafor Has Gone On The Offensive
Jahlil Okafor, the former third overall pick in the 2015 draft, is still stuck in basketball purgatory. He’s appeared in just two games and played 25 total minutes, and the Sixers seem to be insistent on keeping him in storage until a suitable trade partner can be found....
Greg Schiano Isn't Good Enough To Get A Pass
The Greg Schiano era in Knoxville was short and furious.

When news broke that Tennessee football had given up and hired Greg Schiano to replace Butch Jones, the reaction from its fanbase was quick and strong. Both for Sandusky scandal-related reasons and bad-at-football reasons, prominent Tennesseans and some on campus have sent clear messages that Schian...
The Chiefs Are Flailing
The Chiefs have posted a winning record in all four seasons with quarterback Alex Smith and head coach Andy Reid, but they’ve only won one playoff game. Last summer, there was some talk of giving first-round draft pick QB Patrick Mahomes II a shot instead of Smith. Mahomes, a Big 12 gunslinger, was ...
NBA Teams Allowed To Continue Playing After Combined 20-Point First Quarter
The Heat and Bulls are playing this afternoon in Chicago. Probably no one should be watching this game—the Heat are meh, and the Bulls are whoa that milk belongs in the trash, man—but there are few options on a football Sunday if you’re an NBA fan, and this was the only 3:30 p.m. game on today’s sla...
