Three Kings: Tyson, Holyfield, And Hopkins Make Nice For <em>Champs</em>
Mike Tyson just couldn't let it go. "I beat him," he blurted out Saturday night at a Tribeca Film Festival panel, upon the mere mention of Buster Douglas, the underdog who knocked him out in Tokyo back in 1990. "They robbed me on the count. There's no doubt about it." ...
Evan Mathis Trolled A Reporter Hard
It was questionable whether the Eagles' guard Evan Mathis would show up for today's voluntary OTAs, given that he's a potential trade or holdout candidate. Last night, the Philadelphia Daily News's longtime columnist Paul Domowitch pretty conclusively declared that Mathis would be absent:...
Ugly Blues-Blackhawks Series Gets Uglier With "Wakey-Wakey" Taunt
Blues-Blackhawks shifts to Chicago tonight, with St. Louis up 2-0, but things are already getting desperate. Brent Seabrook was suspended three games for a dirty hit on Blues captain David Backes on Saturday, and now audio has emerged of that post-fight scrum appearing to capture Chicago's Duncan Ke...
FSU Fan's "Royals" Cover Was Such A Bad Idea
Every sports-themed cover of "Royals" is a no-good, stupid idea, but this one really takes the cake. What makes it so much worse than all the others? I'm gonna go ahead and say all of it....
Paul Pierce Is Still The Truth When He Needs To Be
I went to the Barclays Center last month and watched the Brooklyn Nets kick the crap out of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Paul Pierce played 19 minutes in that game, going 5-of-6 from three-point range and scoring all of his 22 points in the first half, which he spent leisurely jogging between the arcs, ...
Meb Keflezighi Wins Boston Marathon. Holy Shit.
Meb Keflezighi, as old as the furniture in American distance running, just won the 2014 Boston Marathon. The 38-year-old outran one of the best fields ever assembled, becoming the first American man to win since 1983. ...
Easter Bunny Ambushes Racing Presidents At Nationals Game

CNN Asks How Recent Anti-Semitic Shootings Affect The KKK's Brand
When CNN wrote the worst Kurt Cobain lede ever, we figured that they had done something on which they couldn't improve. Here, though, is a long article ("Can This KKK Leader Rebrand?") from the once-respected news organization suggesting that the true victims of the recent Overland Park shootings ma...
Reports: David Moyes To Be Sacked Any Day Now; A Gallery Of Moyesface
Oh, Moyesy. It appears our season of schadenfreude will soon be coming to a premature end, with reports practically everywhere saying "The Chosen One" is about to become "The Sacked One."...
Cool Animation: How Fast Does Billy Hamilton Get To First?
Billy Hamilton is a very fast man, with a penchant for slap hitting and infield singles (a strategy that can lead to some awkward swings). But just how fast is Hamilton down the first base line, and how much of an advantage does he have over other speedy major leaguers?...
Down With Baseball's Fun Police
As much as I love baseball, no sport gets further up its own ass when it comes to players being allowed to look like they're having fun. Take the bench-clearing brawl in yesterday's Brewers-Pirates game, sparked by Carlos Gomez taking time to admire what he thought was a home run. Words were exchang...
It's So Hard To Escape The Blazers
It's a question that we've asked before, and after falling to the Blazers in overtime last night, it's one that the Rockets are probably asking themselves a lot this morning: How the hell do you beat the Blazers?...
The Sleepless Majesty Of Craig Ferguson
There is no cause to weep for Craig Ferguson; there are reportedly between 8 and 12 million reasons not to. But the end is (reportedly) nigh. He is definitely not getting David Letterman's job; now comes word that Chelsea Handler, for starters, may be gunning for the job he already has. The Late Lat...
Knicks Fire Mike Woodson
As expected, the Knicks have fired Mike Woodson and his entire coaching staff after a fairly disastrous season that ended without a postseason bid. Woodson was 116-89 in two-plus seasons with the Knicks, including playoffs, but this is Phil Jackson's team now. Jackson said in a statement:...
How A Clever Algorithm Can Help Us "Complete" The 2013 Boston Marathon
In the aftermath of last year's Boston Marathon attacks, the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) was faced with—among other, more serious problems—a pair of logistical issues. It had to consider how to provide the nearly 6,000 runners who were unable to finish the 2013 race with an opportunity to qual...

Zdeno Chara Laughs At Puny Humans Who Want To Fight Him
Detroit defenseman Brendan Smith has been a target of abuse through the first two games of the series. He decided to take out his frustrations on the nearest Bruin. The nearest Bruin just happened to be the tallest NHL player ever....
