The Lakers And Knicks Went Nuts For Two Minutes
Madison Square Garden looks like an extremely fun place to be tonight, as two teams filled with intriguing young talents keep going back and forth with each other through three quarters. The game’s excitement peaked (so far) with this pulse-pounding two minutes of basketball, which kicked off with a...
Rich People Demolished <i>L.A. Weekly</i> To Build The Future They Want For Journalism
In 2009, L.A. Weekly wrote a story about jerkin’—a dance craze sweeping across the Los Angeles basin—that highlighted the work of then little-known rapper YG. “He was so fresh out of prison, he still had ‘FREE YG!’ on his MySpace page,” the story’s author Jeff Weiss told me. It was one of the first ...
Uh Oh, Someone's Grouchy
The Patriots couldn’t convert a single third down (in 11 chances) in Monday night’s 27-20 loss to the Dolphins. Head coach Bill Belichick opened up about the defeat after the game by grumbling and staring and grumbling some more....
Nick Kyrgios Played Some Actual Tennis This Year, Too
You can lead Nick Kyrgios to a Slam, but you can’t make him win matches. Maybe he takes two sets against an overwhelmed second-round opponent before deciding that tennis was not a particularly fun way a way to pass the time, and gets booed off home court. Maybe it was time to return to basketball, h...
Michael Beasley Fouled Out In 10 Minutes And Knicks Fans Loved It

Things Eagles Fans Said Outside The L.A. Coliseum About Carson Wentz’s Injury
LOS ANGELES — I knew it as soon as I saw Carson Wentz walking to the tunnel. The Eagles had just scored a touchdown to take the lead. The Coliseum, which had to be about 40 percent Eagles fans, was rocking. But from Row 93 I spotted it. Wentz was walking to the tunnel with a towel over his head....
Rick Pitino: I Was Publicly Humiliated By Papa John
Former Louisville head coach Rick Pitino is a busy man and, almost assuredly, a messy gentleman. While he may find himself jobless and ostracized for the time being, his schedule is booked full thanks to two separate lawsuits, both filed for spectacular reasons, and, now, a very public spat with Lou...
Ugly Soccer Match Becomes Much Better After Dog Invades The Pitch
Macedonian club Vardar hosted Norway’s Rosenborg in blah blah blah oh wow, look at this cute doggy that interrupted the game!...
Nick Young Finds The Outer Limit Of The Pump Fake
Nick Young’s shooting form is just a bit outside the realm of what most would dub conventional, to say nothing of the times and places that he chooses to take his shots. He has a high release point, though he attains that altitude by jerking his body over to the left and casting the ball out relativ...
Beyoncé Makes Surprise Appearance To Present Colin Kaepernick With <i>Sports Illustrated</i> Award
Beyoncé showed up at tonight’s Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Ceremony to present Colin Kaepernick with the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award, given annually to an athlete who uses sports as a platform to change the world....
Bad Quarterback Performance Of The Week: Trevor Siemian Is Just Kinda ... There
Welcome to Bad Quarterback Performance Of The Week, a recurring feature in which we celebrate the worst quarterback play the NFL has to offer....
Thomas The Tank Engine Can Pull Some Gnarly Tricks<em></em>
Thomas the Tank Engine, as a children’s book and TV series, may be vaguely authoritarian, but as a toy, it’s weirdly entertaining. Watch in awe (or at least with surprisingly strong interest) as the locomotive does totally sick tricks like a 50-50 grind, or a barrel roll onto a parallel track. ...
Robbie Gould Clowned The Bears
Kicker Robbie Gould’s 11-year tenure with the Bears came to an unceremonious end when the team released him a week before the 2016 season started. GM Ryan Pace believed that Connor Barth was better and more affordable than Gould, though Barth was cut last month for Cairo Santos. On Sunday, Gould, t...
LeBron James Has Realized The Limits Of Human Empathy
Today LeBron James spoke briefly about the grim saga of Derrick Rose, whose desiccated body drifted back to Cleveland this morning. LeBron’s comment was unremarkable in Rose-related insight, which it seemed explicitly crafted to avoid. But it was amusing in its insight on the human condition. In the...

Even Bill Belichick Knew Gronk's Late Hit Was "Bullshit" [Update]
Rob Gronkowski, a palooka with a new mean streak, somehow avoided an ejection after he crushed Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White well after the play was over. (White had to leave the game and be evaluated for a concussion.) ...
Derrick Rose Returns From Self-Exile To Play Basketball Poorly Sometimes<em></em>
Guard Derrick Rose, who abruptly left the Cavaliers back on Nov. 24 to, like, go sit on a boardwalk and watch happy couples stroll by and stare at his reflection in a rainy window while a mopey Stan Bush track plays in the background, has returned to Cleveland, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowksi...
Grody Sweat Monster Patrick Ewing Was Also A Germophobe
Patrick Ewing, a walking and dunking sweat fountain during his playing days, was apparently also a big-time germophobe, according to this cool series of stories from former NBA trainer Timmy Walsh, via Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News....
Here's Some Stuff Enes Kanter Is Doing
It feels as though the Thunder will eventually sort out their issues, but for now they are 8-12 and Carmelo Anthony is off giving quavering interviews about anger. Meanwhile, New York might be permitted to believe that it won a trade for once. ...
Marat Safin, Go Coach Your Son Nick Kyrgios
Marat Safin, who won two majors and hit world No. 1 despite the challenges of playing tennis with lit sticks of dynamite strapped to his head, spoke out about the state of the men’s tour on Thursday. It was refreshing, and typically Safin in its overt frankness. Safin took the unspoken undertone of ...
