Blake Griffin Was His Old Bad-Ass Self Last Night
One of the crappier things about the early part of this NBA season is that for much of it, Blake Griffin hasn't really looked like Blake Griffin. Too many Clippers games have seen Griffin floating around the perimeter, turning in uninspiring performances heavy on the mid-range jumpers and light on t...
Kemba Walker Made The Block Of Your Dreams
So this happened on Friday night, but I feel compelled to draw your attention to it now, because this right here is the exact block that anyone who's ever played even a minute of organized basketball has dreamt of making. ...
Radim Vrbata's Patience Results In A Gorgeous Goal
Canucks forward Radim Vrbata waited, and waited, and waited. Then, he completely fooled Senators goalie Craig Anderson for his 12th goal of the season. Be sure to watch the replay at the end. So pretty....

High Schoolers Don't Realize Blocked FG Is Live, Lose State Semifinal
Last night Monacan High School's football team found out that defeat is even more agonizing when it is self-imposed. They took on regional powerhouse Lake Taylor High School away for the Virginia 4A South Region title, with the winner advancing to the state championship game....
Golf Tournament Interrupted By Charging Baboon
South Africa is lousy with baboons (who will totally just fuck your shit up), so when you're playing golf there, like Luke Donald is this weekend, you gotta be ready for a baboon to just roll up on you....
It's So Fun To Watch Kyrie Irving Make People Look Dumb
Last night's nationally televised game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was pretty stinky. 'Melo couldn't get a bucket, LeBron was still in "Hey, uh, what the hell is going on with LeBron?" mode, and the whole game had the feel of two middling Eastern conference teams blindly flailing at each ...
UCF Wins Share Of American Conference Title With Hail Mary Touchdown
UCF claimed a share of the AAC championship despite blowing a 26-9 fourth-quarter lead when Breshad Perriman hauled in a 51-yard hail mary to give the Knights a 32-30 victory over ECU....
John Wall Destroyed The Lakers Last Night
Kobe Bryant and Nick Young hit a bunch of fluky long jumpers in a row during the second quarter of the Lakers' game in DC last night; with around six minutes left in the half they led by 11 points, and if you saw the score (47-36) crawl across the bottom of your screen just then, you might've though...
Monta Ellis's Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater Was Bananas
I think it's time to admit that there probably isn't another player in the NBA who is better at hitting reckless, off-balance buzzer-beaters than Monta Ellis. Almost two years after hitting a game-winner so absurd that Ellis himself had to flee from it, the Mavericks shooting guard once again did hi...
Video Evidence That We're All Just Living In J.J. Watt's World
This week's episode of Inside the NFL featured a mic'd up J.J. Watt stomping around, talking shit, and wreaking havoc during last Sunday's game against the Titans. These mic'd up segments are commonplace and usually on the boring side, but this one is worth watching from beginning to end simply beca...
Kendrick Perkins Attempted To Post Up Anthony Davis. Try Not To Laugh.
Kendrick Perkins is an anthropomorphic pumpjack that somebody taught to play basketball. Anthony Davis is an unofficial member of the Avengers. This is what happens when the former tries to shoot over the latter in the post....

Uh Oh, Transgender High School Students Want To Wreck Sports By Stealing Scholarships And Showering With Girls
Girls' sports might be coming to an end (think: apocalypse), according to a full-page ad in the Star Tribune. And that's not all. The very concerned, very conservative Child Protection League Action group who placed the ad went on to holler:...
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Learns Painful Lesson About Tackling Rob Gronkowski
Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is a rookie, and he still has many lessons to learn about how to survive in the NFL. He received an important bit of knowledge during Sunday's game against the Patriots, though: Unless you are, I don't know, J.J. Watt or the Incredible Hulk, don't ever try to tackle ...
Andre Miller Throws Some Classic Old-Man Game At The Heat, Scores
Andre Miller is 941 years old and has been in the NBA longer than it has existed; his first career assist, as a matter of fact, was a pocket bounce-pass to a rolling Chester Arthur for a two-handed jam. In all the years since, Gramps has learned a few tricks to augment his nonexistent athleticism, ...
Odell Beckham Jr. Continues To Be A Superhuman
We already knew that Odell Beckham Jr. is a mutant who possesses the ability to make catches that mere mortals can only dream about, but we didn't know that he could also do stuff like this:...
Gerald Green Throws Off-The-Backboard Alley-Oop To Himself, In Traffic
Gerald Green has established himself as the new era's human highlight reel, and tonight against the Magic he performed yet another of his miraculous stunts: an alley-oop, off the glass, to himself in the half-court offense. (This is more an indictment of the Magic than a celebration of Green's skill...
This Whole Report For A H.S. Football Title Game Is A Local News Gem
You probably don't care about Michigan high school football, but FOX 2's Charlie Langton's report about a title game between Warren De La Salle and Muskegon Mona Shores should entertain you anyway. It's perfect. The damn thing starts out with Langton yelling as he's walking across the field, and...
