Mike Matheny And The Cardinals Are Still Being A Bunch Of Grumpy Sourpusses About Jason Heyward
Jason Heyward, a strong good baseball man who left the aging team he was with for less than a year for a new team in a better city with other strong baseball men, is not popular around St. Louis.

Bad Looks: Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL
For my money, the big NFL news this week was Diana Moskovitz’s report that discredited quack Dr. Elliot Pellman is still playing an important-seeming role in the NFL’s concussion safety apparatus. Try as they might, the NFL can’t solve concussions—that’s impossible in football—but they also can’t ke...
Report: The Patriots Are Also In Bed With Tom Brady's Shady Fitness Guru
Tom Brady’s relationship with Alex Guerrero is well-documented and wide-ranging: Guerrero is Brady’s body coach, business partner, and trusted friend.

Derrick Williams Blames $750K Jewelry Heist On Two Women He Took Home From A Club
After the Knicks beat the Sixers on Friday, Derrick Williams celebrated by heading to the Up & Down Club (which has only two stars on Yelp, but a lot of commenters saying they saw celebrities). According to the New York Post, after the party it’s the after party (at Williams’ house) and that’s where...
Dwight Howard Blocks The Daylights Out Of Austin Rivers Then Jams It On The Other End

The Pelicans Are A Goddamn Mess
Remember when Anthony Davis was a sexy MVP pick, everyone was praising the Alvin Gentry hire, and the Pelicans looked like a lock to make the playoffs and maybe even do something once they got there? That looks foolishly optimistic now, as the team is 7-19, closer to the Lakers than anyone else in t...
Jabari Parker And An Amazon River Turtle Are Best Friends
It’s been a rough adjustment for the Milwaukee Bucks’ Jabari Parker. Last year’s #2 pick tore his ACL early in his rookie season, and he’s still working on finding his stride. Every young player needs some time to get used to NBA life, and OnMilwaukee.com caught up with him and found out that a near...
Retired Showboater Richard Dent Claims He'd Knock Cam Newton On His Ass For Celebrating
Every time an athlete gets excited about kicking ass at their job, you’ll hear the chorus of traditionalists and outsiders jawing about how no professional athletes should celebrate because of the hallowed sanctity of the game they play that makes billionaires richer. Cam Newton in particular is a ...
How Not To Run A Fake Field Goal
The New Mexico Bowl, one of the more mediocre matchups out of approximately one million mediocre bowl matchups this year, is on and popping. Arizona has New Mexico and the winner presumably gets expanded water rights on a tributary of the Colorado River or something. Anyway, New Mexico tried to go f...
The Strange Case Of John Scott And The NHL All-Star Game
John Scott is an NHL player (well, sort of) whose most marketable skill is that he’s 6’8” and willing swing on anyone. He’s bounced around between six teams in as many years, and he’s scored five goals in his career. And yet, Scott is the leading vote-getter in NHL all-star game fan voting due to a ...

Doug McDermott Is Probably Still Looking For Reggie Jackson
The Bulls and the Pistons played a Kevin Costner movie of a basketball game last night in Chicago. Detroit finally beat the Bulls in 4OT, 147-144, and Jimmy Butler even had a clear shot to take it to five, but he clanked it. Reggie Jackson had 13 in the final overtime, but he also sent Doug McDermot...

The San Diego Padres selected Matt Bush with the first overall pick in the 2004 MLB draft. He was a local boy, born and raised in San Diego, starring at shortstop and pitcher for Mission Bay.

Italy Plans To Fix Tall, Awkward Basketball Kid With Pasta
Robert Bobroczkyi is a 7-foot-6, 184-pound Romanian, and of course, he plays basketball. Bobroczkyi’s only 15 years old, however, so he’s being treated delicately as he stays at a hoops academy in Rome. Growing boys need their food, and since Bobroczkyi is a towering, growing boy, he needs even mor...
The <i>Star Wars</i> Chronology Melted Mike Francesa's Brain
Today, Mike Francesa talked Star Wars, and it was glorious. A simple question about how many Star Wars movies George Lucas actually directed led to one of his producers attempting to explain the chronology of the movies, and that’s when things got good:...
