Video Finally Surfaces Of Willis Reed Fighting The Entire Lakers Team
Everybody knows about Knicks center Willis Reed's legendary walk onto the court for warmups before Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, a game he wasn't supposed to play. Reed only made two shots in 27 minutes, but as Bob Ryan said in the linked SportsCentury documentary: "The spiritualism of the mome...
Derrick Rose Falls, Entire Bench Runs Over To Make Sure He's Not Broken
Derrick Rose played in a preseason game against the Cavaliers last night, and he looked decidedly not-dead, which is encouraging. What is not encouraging is how his teammates reacted when Rose hit the ground at the end of the first half and spent an extra beat or two on the floor....
The Rams' Balls-Out Special-Teams Play Was Brilliant Fun
Let's take the time to praise the enormous stones on the Rams' coaching staff for calling two of the most exciting and least anticipated trick plays of the season: a fake punt and, before that, a fake punt return. Each played a huge part in St. Louis's upset win over Seattle....
Rams Execute Brilliant Fake Punt Return For Touchdown

How To Make Fried Mozzarella, Instead Of Getting It At A Crummy Bar
It's a perverse testament to fried mozzarella's greatness that even in its shittiest incarnations, even when it's just battered and deep-fried sticks of rubbery Polly-O string cheese prepared and served at your local dire corporate chain eatery with all the care and enthusiasm of a wino tumbling d...
Wrestling Legend Mick Foley Interviews Michael Morse On MLB Network
We love when old-time wrestling heroes intersect with "real" sports, so it was a treat on MLB Network this afternoon when Mick Foley joined the MLB Now panel for an interview with San Francisco's Michael Morse. Tune in for the Daniel Bryan conversation, stay for the reference to Mick Foley not hav...
The Players' Tribune Says Nothing—And That's The Point
“Derek” is thinking about his next step. “Russell” wants to make a difference. “Danica” updates her relationship status. “Blake” is really glad his creepy boss is gone....
Amar'e Stoudemire Bathes In Red Wine, For Some Damn Reason
This morning, Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire posted a photo of himself bathing in red wine on his Instagram page. At the time, I honestly did not believe he was actually bathing in red wine, because why would a person do that? I was wrong. Amar'e Stoudemire bathes in wine all the damn time....
<em>Red Dawn</em> Is Delusional Right-Wing Porn In The Best Possible Way
The best scenes in the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead aren't the early bursts of urban confusion or the biker-zombie rumbles. They're the scenes where the four isolated survivors giddily run through an abandoned shopping mall, balling out with the artifacts of a just-dead culture. They use mannequ...

Cubs Fans, Look Away Now
Yeah, that's real. It's a Cubs cap with a 2003 World Series patch, and it was placed in players' lockers late in Game 6 of the NLCS, anticipating a almost-certain Chicago victory....
Kicker Lives The Dream, Scores Touchdown On Own Kickoff
This is William Will, the emphatically named kicker for Dayton, swooping in to recover a fumble and take it to the house for (we are going out on a giant limb here) his first career touchdown. He was named the FCS Pioneer League's special teams player of the week, because come the fuck on....
Jonathan Quick Slips A Fan An Autograph From The Bench
This is from a Kings' preseason game in Las Vegas on Oct. 4, with the video only posted online this weekend. It shows L.A. goalie Jonathan Quick surreptitiously passing an autograph to a fan through the glass during pregame introductions, which is a pretty cool thing for a guy seconds from taking ...

A flimsy microphone frustrated Bill Belichick at Sunday's postgame press conference, edging the Patriots coach out for a 1-0 win....
Not Even His Receivers Knew Aaron Rodgers's Fake Spike Was Coming
It wasn't quite a Dan Marino redux in Miami, as Aaron Rodgers's fake spike, which fooled as many Packers as it did Dolphins, didn't come on the winning touchdown. (It merely put Green Bay in prime position for that on the next play.) But we'll never not stop to appreciate an elegant bit of footb...

Rick Carlisle's Sorry He Suggested That Chandler Parsons Is Fat
