Steph Curry Has A Steph Curry Game
If you thought anything at all like "this Warriors-Mavericks game tonight isn't worth staying up late for," you should immediately smack yourself in the head. Hard.

Diana Taurasi's Russian Team Is Paying Her To Skip The WNBA Season
Since the early 2000s, many WNBA players have also played for teams overseas. The WNBA season is only four months long, so they can effectively play for two teams in one year.

Dan Patrick Calls Out Colin Cowherd For Having "ESPN Muscles"
ESPN radio host and frenulum with eyes Colin Cowherd really likes to waste air time on his show by letting everyone know what a savvy sports radio veteran he is.

Do The NFL's Anti-Domestic Violence Initiatives Actually Even Exist?
As long ago as it now seems, it was only this past July when Roger Goodell decided to suspend Ray Rice for two games after the Baltimore Ravens running back cold-cocked his future wife in an Atlantic City casino elevator.
