Kellyanne Conway's Old Stand-Up Routine Shows How Long The Skins Have Been A Punchline
Today is the 25th anniversary of Washington’s last Super Bowl win. Some perspective on the longevity of the Skins’ suckitude was provided by the recently unearthed video of Trump confidant Kellyanne Conway’s brief standup comedy career. Her routine, part of a 1998 contest to find the “Funniest Celeb...
Vince Carter Is 40 Years Old And Still Doing This
Vince Carter is a gift we don’t deserve, a star who burned brightly and didn’t burn out. Unlike, say, Tracy McGrady (who is two-and-a-half years younger!), Carter has managed to remain a useful NBA player more than a decade past his prime. Carter turns 40 years old today, and he celebrated with the ...
The Carmelo Anthony Saga Just Keeps Getting Messier
All of this is just so embarrassing for the Knicks, who for whatever reason just can’t seem to have a boring, dignified losing season like so many other teams. Oh no, this has to turn into open discord between their best player and the man running the shots, as a series of leaks have revealed that t...
The Bulls Are Melting Down
A whole season’s worth of frustration came to a head for the Chicago Bulls tonight. Chicago is 23-24, just a hair ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for the eighth seed, and they have an indisputably worthy all-star starter in Jimmy Butler. Yet the team is clearly harboring some internal tensions and toni...
Justin Tucker Nailed A 75-Yard Field Goal
The Pro Bowl is a meaningless spectacle that is only as valuable as the silly highlights it provides. For the first time, there will be a skills competition of sorts, which includes catching footballs dropped by a drone. That might be cool, but it probably won’t be nearly as impressive as Justin Tuc...
Report: Trump's Example Of Voter Fraud Was A Bullshit Story About A German Pro Golfer Who Couldn't Vote For Him<em></em>
Donald Trump has kicked off his time in the White House by watching cable news, pushing for a litany of ghoulish new policies, and lying profusely. One of his claims is that three to five million people voted illegally against him in the election in order to ensure that he lost the popular vote. Le...
English Soccer Team Produces Best, Dumbest Highlight Video For Canceled Game
Greenwich Borough FC are a tiny club that play in the Isthmian League’s Division One South. That’s the eighth division of English soccer and it’s mostly made up of semi-pro sides in London and southeast England.

This Is What Ads Will Look Like On NBA Jerseys
Advertisements on NBA jerseys were inevitable, and we just got our first glimpse of the logos that will appear on the upper-left corners of jerseys starting in the 2017-2018 season, when the league begins its apparel deal with Nike. Here’s a look at the Celtics, Kings, and Sixers uniforms, courtesy ...
Now The Wizards Have A Hole In Their Wall
The world of professional sports is plagued by holes. First there was that big hole Odell Beckham Jr. put in a wall near the Packers’ visiting locker room (hole’s fixed, by the way), and now the Washington Wizards have their own hole situation to deal with....
Marcus Smart Got Into It With His Coaches, Hit The Showers Early
I am disappointed. Anything short of a bench-clearing brawl would have been disappointing, after the Wizards wore all black (for the Celtics’ “funeral”) ahead of the teams’ third matchup of the year, after the first two features all manner of beef. But last night provided no fireworks, just a domina...

Wizards Dress In All Black Before Game Against Celtics; Isaiah Thomas Calls It "Cute"
The Wizards and Celtics play tonight, and it’ll be their third meeting this season. The first two encounters featured John Wall scuffling with Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder touching Wall’s nose with a single finger, and Bradley Beal smirking at Smart. The Wizards decided to set the tone for this round b...

Clutch Time Is Westbrook Time
By now you are aware that the Oklahoma City Thunder’s chances of winning or losing any game rest almost entirely on the shoulders of Russell Westbrook—the fact that he’s still averaging 30-10-10 in late January makes his impact on the team perfectly clear—but today is a good day to appreciate just h...
Bol Bol, Manute Bol's 17-Year-Old Son, Is Already A Beast
The best part of the highlight reel below, with all due consideration to Bol Bol swatting the daylights out of No. 3 at 1:45, is the way Bol’s teammates grin and giggle as they run back down the court. They look tiny compared to him, and they seem to be openly marveling that their new teammate is su...
