Oh Look, Russell Westbrook And Patrick Beverley Still Hate Each Other
The sun rises and sets, people die and are born, and a grudge grudges between Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley. The years-long feud flared up again last night during the Thunders’ 128-110 win over the Clippers, with Westbrook whipping out the “rocking a baby” celebration after scoring on Beve...
Mitchell Robinson Is A Quiet Gem
It’s the third week of the least accursed Knicks season in quite some time. Kristaps Porzingis is getting accustomed to his new ACL and hamming it up the sideline with no timetable in sight; the tank seems to at least be deliberate this time around; there is belief in coach David Fizdale; and there ...
Keepers Wield More Than Just Guesswork In The Battle Against Penalty Kicks
Penalty kicks are bad. They’re dramatic and can be a fascinating experience out of context, but we don’t get to experience them out of context. We have to deal with penalties as a clumsy method of deterring fouls in the box and as a makeshift solution to tied games dragging on forever. The fact that...

The Bills Ran A Play From <i>Tecmo Super Bowl</i>

Interception Machine Jameis Winston Gets Benched For Ryan Fitzpatrick<em></em>
It’s time to erase the whiteboard reading “Days Since Last Jameis Winston Turnover Party” and draw a big fat 0. The Buccaneers might have beaten the Bengals Sunday if they’d benched Winston quicker, but instead, he was allowed stick around long enough to throw four interceptions, get sacked five tim...
Iowa's Mascot Got Rocked In The Beans By An Errant Pass
Saturday’s visit to Penn State started a lot better than it finished for the Iowa Hawkeyes. It ended with a 30-24 defeat and a stumble back into the pack in the Big Ten West standings, but it started with a first quarter that featured a blocked punt that became a safety, a fantastic touchdown pass t...
Rick Pitino Wants To Coach In The NBA, Just As I Would Like To Harness The Terrifying Power Of The Oort Cloud
It appears that former Louisville head coach Rick Pitino called up ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski and told him that he’d like to once again coach in the NBA. Instead of saying, “Good luck with that, Rick, but I need to get off the phone because I’m quite busy,” Woj produced this article detailing P...

Race-Baiting Troll Phil Mushnick Is Really Reaching For Excuses To Be Racist Now
What’s that cranky old knob Phil Mushnick been up to lately besides scolding Joakim Noah for being an ungrateful black person because Noah said he’s against war? Other race-baiting shit, it seems. Today, he published a column titled, “The sick, disturbing video that ESPN thought was a laugh riot,” w...

Days After Eric Reid Called Him Out, Malcolm Jenkins Goes To Bat For Colin Kaepernick
Eric Reid might have really shaken Malcolm Jenkins, or at least reminded him that NFLers were engaged in activism before the Players Coalition existed. Although Jenkins was terse after Reid confronted him before Sunday’s game and called him a “sellout” in a postgame interview, the Eagles safety toda...
Luka Dončić Is Having A Ball
Lest Trae Young have all the fun beating up on an atrocious winless defense, his rookie foil Luka Dončić also got his last night in a 115-109 Mavericks win over the Bulls. Setting aside the joy of pitting a 19-and 20-year-old in mortal competition for purely narrative and/or Hawks-shaming purposes,...
Patrick Peterson "Desperately" Wants Out Of Arizona
The Arizona Cardinals are ass. Even in a sea of NFL ass, they are a deadly, towering ass iceberg. An assberg. They are 1-6 but spiritually 0-16. Patrick Peterson has had enough....
James Dolan Holds Grudge Against WFAN For Months Because One Host Hated His Harvey Weinstein Song<em></em>
Look, if you record and release a mournful ballad about how you didn’t know your buddy ol’ pal Harvey Weinstein was also an entitled creep who sexually harassed and assaulted numerous women over a span of decades, you need to accept that you’re opening yourself up to some criticism. And if the song...
Eric Reid Calls Malcolm Jenkins A "Sellout" And "Neo-Colonialist" After Panthers Win
Panthers safety Eric Reid’s visible beef with Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins in today’s game was indeed for the expected reasons.

Eric Reid Tries To Settle A Score With Malcolm Jenkins In Panthers-Eagles Coin Toss, Scuffles With Zach Ertz
Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid is grateful to finally have a job, and he’s also grateful to be on a football field so he can act on a grudge. Reid has a history with Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, and got in his face before today’s game started....
Michigan State's First Score Comes From "Philly Special"-Type Play
Michigan State showed a national audience on Saturday that their in-state rivals, Michigan, were doing something else the Sunday of this year’s Super Bowl.
