Clayton Kershaw Was Unreal Over His 41-Inning Scoreless Streak
Until the sixth inning of last night's game against the Padres, Clayton Kershaw hadn't allowed a run since June 13.

Silent Video Of LeBron And Wade Talking Is A Generation's Zapruder Film
That LeBron James and Dwyane Wade flew back to Miami after James's Vegas basketball camp is likely not a major clue to either's free agency decisions (Miami is where their stuff is). But thankfully local news was on the scene to capture more than three minutes of silent video of them talking on ...
How Did Metallica Ever Survive <em>Some Kind Of Monster</em>?
Like a lot of boys growing up in the early 1990s, I was fascinated by the hard-rock band Metallica. What drew me was no mystery. They were dark and powerful and commanded the respect of millions.

<em>Denver Post</em> Columnist Writes The Hottest LeBron Take Ever
In a world where even Dan Shaughnessy will hedge against his own stupidity, we desperately need a local newspaper columnist who isn't afraid to dish out the kind of moral rectitude and one-sentence KABOOM paragraphs that will put the sporting world back on the path to righteousness. We need a hero....
Report: Maybe Dan Gilbert Shouldn't Have Written That Letter
For a while there yesterday, it felt like LeBron-to-Cleveland was a fait accompli—even the Cavs seemed to feel that way, reportedly thanks to Rich Paul pouring honey in their ears.

What If A Baseball Player Were As Dominant As LeBron?
I'd like to pretend that I'm above paying attention to the LeBron James circus, but like everyone else, I spent a lot of today just sitting around waiting on some revelatory Adrian Wojnarowski tweet, so that a question like What if someone was just as dominant as LeBron James, but he played baseball...

There's Nothing Awkward About A Bunch Of Athletes Showering Together
The always-enjoyable David Fleming has a story about communal showers in this week's ESPN The Magazine. It's nominally about the Michael Sam controversy, and asserts that no one cares if a gay man is looking at penises in the locker room—because everyone is looking at penises in the locker room....
Watch This Botched Baseball Slide In Agonizing Slow-Mo
Baseball players: Do not slide like Lotte Giants infielder Hwang Jae-Gyun did into third base. This is not how to slide. Not only will you wreck your face, but you likely won't get to the bag in time anyway, and then you'll lay in the dirt, wondering where it all went wrong. (It all went wrong when ...
