Dan Girardi Flattens Matt Calvert With Shoulder-To-Shoulder Check
For a brief moment in yesterday’s Blue Jackets-Lightning third period, veteran Tampa defenseman Dan Girardi brought back a lost art.

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...

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), ...

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 ...
