Babysitter Claims Aaron Hernandez Tried To Kiss Her
The fact that Aaron Hernandez tried to kiss hired babysitter Jennifer Fortier isn't particularly relevant to the alleged murder of Odin Lloyd—Fortier was on the stand for today's portion of the trial—but it's still interesting to see if Hernandez's fiancée Shayanna Jenkins has a change of heart ab...
What To Get Bow Wow For His Birthday
It's hard to believe the rapper and 106 & Park host formerly known as Lil Bow Wow is 28 today. Seems like just yesterday we were introduced to a precocious 13-year-old Shad Moss by way of his debut single, 2000's "Bounce With Me." Today is his birthday, and he has many reasons to celebrate. I know y...
When Muhammad Ali Was A Has-Been

This Beer's Quality Depends On The Freshness Of The Corpse
Friends, pay no mind to your calendars, with their equinoxes and solstices and pictures of dogs dressed for various atmospheric conditions.

Chicago Artist's Shrine To Derrick Rose Is The Saddest
It's a common human response to erect shrines and murals in public spaces commemorating fallen heroes.

NFL Threatens Investigation Into Dumbest Thing
Matching the futility of King Canute raging at the waves—yet sadder for actually expecting the tides to halt upon command—the NFL has sharply warned its teams to stop releasing news of contract agreements before free agency actually begins. Good luck with that, guys....
Daylight Savings Should Be Made Permanent
You know what was awesome? Yesterday. Yesterday was the first Daylight Savings day of the year, and the first Daylight Savings day of the year always feels like someone released you from a Siberian prison. The sun shone gold upon the melting snow. Children frolicked out on the street. Neighbors...
Stephen A. Smith Floats The Theory That <i>Maybe</i> Chip Kelly Is A Racist
Listen. First Take is a trashy, cynical show that exists so that Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless, two of the widest talking sphincters in sports punditry, can take turns spouting fake and bad shit to the masses. Most of the time, it's so disingenuous that it's depressing, but sometimes, one of the...
Report: Tim Tebow Learned How To Throw A Football
Tim Tebow. When was the last time you thought about that guy? The NFL's been so busy with other stories that we forgot about The Man Who Just Won.

Have You Been Dunked On, Or Have You Dunked On Someone?
There's a funny post at SB Nation about the experience of getting dunked on by someone (wearing sandals). Obviously, it's not fun. Everyone gets to shame you, and you're basically hoping someone puts the ball in play as soon as possible so you can try and regain your pride. The description of the co...
Steph Curry Is Beyond Reproach
Steph Curry’s statistical output from his last two games isn’t anything to freak out over—22 points and seven assists against Dallas on Friday, followed by 12 points in four assists against the Clips on Sunday—but in each of those games he made plays that should have led anyone who saw them to one c...
Man Crossed Over So Hard His Teammate Feels It
We've covered the exploits of the streetballer known as Hot Sauce before, and judging from this recent clip, he clearly hasn't lost his touch at hitting defenders with mean crossovers. That crossover was so vicious, the poor kid's teammate felt it. Look at him fall over!...
What Is Chip Kelly Doing?
Two months ago, Chip Kelly was given full control over the Eagles' football personnel decisions. Every trade, every signing, every draft pick—that's all Kelly. Which raises the question, given that the Eagles have been the single most active team ahead of the official start of free agency: what exac...
