Saban rules by fear, and that...

Boban Marjanovic Gets Wrecked With A Book In The New <i>John Wick</i> Trailer
When basketball giant Boban Marjanovic was named among the cast in the next installment of the John Wick franchise, I feared that his cameo would be a forgettable one.

The Curse Of The 2017 Point Guard Class Is Coming For Dennis Smith Jr.
Among the reasons the Mavericks deserve credit for jumping up and grabbing Luka Dončić in the 2018 NBA Draft—beyond the most obvious one, which is that he kicks mondo ass—is the display of confidence and guts to draft a guy who at least superficially overlaps with a guy they drafted with the ninth p...

Here's A Nice Patrick Mahomes Throw To Drool Over

It's "Big Dick Nick"
“His throwing motion is a languid shrug, and his passes carve loopy, floaty arcs that seem certain to be intercepted until they settle softly into his receivers’ hands.

Enes Kanter Misses Knicks Practice And Game Due To Grotesque Burger Excess [Update]
Enes Kanter coverage tends to fork into two categories, both of which are true to the man himself and both of which are honestly pretty confusing taken together.

The Thunder And Spurs Preview What The Second Half Has In Store For The Western Conference
If you missed Thursday night’s Thunder-Spurs game, you missed a doozy.

Here Is A Haunting Anecdote About How Vikings GM Rick Spielman Puts On His Pants
It was not a bad or even a strange idea for Sports Illustrated to have Greg Bishop spend four months of the NFL season with the Minnesota Vikings.
