Colin Kaepernick At Hooters
A reader sends along this picture with only a subject that reads "Kaep at Hooters in Charlotte." Missing are the trademark chicken wings or human breasts, so it's hard to tell—though you do get an overall feeling of desperation—but it probably is a Hooters. It looks like he's signing an autograph fo...

Originally published in January 1970 in Jock magazine. The author, Bill Conlin, died on Thursday. He was 79.

At this point, untying people's shoes is more of a J.R. Smith signature move than a fall-away, 23-foot jumper. Your thoughts, Adrian Wojnarowski? ...
Phil Mushnick Is Sick And Tired Of Brent Musburger's Hip Slang
It turns out that race-baiting troll Phil Mushnick is more than just a race-baiting troll. He's also someone who isn't afraid to call out those who plague sports media with their frivolous attempts to sound "cool" and "hip." Like 74-year-old ESPN play-by-play announcer Brent Musburger, for example....
Everybody Now Hates J.R. Smith
Yes, the ongoing J.R. Smith miniseries is funny. The fines, the suspensions, the tweets, the missed shots, the contract, the drama. But with his latest shoelace-related fine and accompanying benching, something of a boiling point appears to have been reached—media has turned hostile and the Knicks w...
<em>Wall Street Journal</em>: Bill Belichick Smiled Seven Times This Season
Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a mumbling, taciturn grump when it comes to speaking with media. But what about those rare instances when he doesn't look like he'd rather be anywhere else? A visibly happy Belichick is a rarely occurring natural phenomenon, like a blue moon or Halley's Comet. Fortun...

Heat And Nets Reveal Nickname Jerseys
On Friday, Brooklyn and Miami will meet while wearing jerseys with the players' nicknames on the back. Marketing gimmick? You bet!

Michelle Rodriguez Got Drunk, Made Out With A Model At The Knicks Game
The Knicks' 89-85 victory over the Pistons last night was less a basketball game than a war of attrition waged by two armies that can't shoot straight.

J.R. Smith Fails To Untie Greg Monroe's Shoe
Two days ago, J.R. Smith untied Shawn Marion's shoe during a free throw. J.R.! Tonight, against the Pistons, he tried to do it to Greg Monroe, but wasn't successful. Hopefully, this happens at least once every game for the rest of the Knicks' season to keep things mildly interesting....

Nick Saban And Johnny Manziel Hanging Out On <i>College GameDay</i>

Dumb Column About Michael Vick: "Who Will Think Of The Children?"
There is a stupid thing in the New York Times today, which if read aloud in the proper cadence would sound quite a bit like a warmup oration for a tar-and-feathering. It's about Michael Vick, of course, and it argues that no team in the NFL should sign Michael Vick, for the sake of the children....
